Hal, Did you get my email from earlier? Carp

I know what you mean. I've heard so many good things about Bluffside, but I'd really like to get the Foul Locales books as well. I'll probably be placing an order AFTER winning. Hal's plan now stands revealed! There must be subliminal messages on MEG's store pages. Or they just put out...

Wohoo! This day just keeps getting better! And Hal, I want it to be publicly known that some of us appreciate your use of Happy Holidays for those Xmas challenged posters among us. I feel like I should be doing something for MEG for having such a cool contest. Happy Festivus everyone!

Happy Festivus!

If you own Neverwinter Nights, then check out the Penultima series of fan created modules on Neverwinter Vault. The fourth module in the series has a farm where the power of Kaos has turned the livestock in to nasty dire chickens, cows, and roosters. It was a hoot to play through! Carp

1. John Wick (for the original L5R, 7th Sea, and What's that Smell?) 2. Bruce Cordell (for not only writing such great ideas, but inspiring me to create my own) 3. Steve Kenson (for the rich environment of Mutants & Masterminds) 4. Kevin Wilson (for his highly enjoyable work on all of AEG's...

The FF consists of the original team: Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben, all in their original incarnations. Nobody has any funky costumes or mutations to deal with. The kids, Franklin and Valeria, do play a minor role which sets up the idea of the FF as a family rather than a super team like the...

In my opinion, a comic gets you excited if you think about reading the next issue before it comes out. That being said, there are a few that I'm thinking about right now... Negation - This is the best sci fi/action comic ever published. Tony Bedard's writing keeps me coming back every month...

AEG tops my list For published systems, I have found 7th Sea (not Swashbuckling Adventures) and the original Legend of the Five Rings systems to be superb, because they are designed for the setting. Both systems are skill based (which I prefer), and everything from attributes to skills to...

Buzzard, I think that the original poster was refering to a remedial class, or those who have learning disabilities, such as dyslexia. This is very different from the mentally handicapped. A number of my fellow teachers, bless them, struggle everyday to teach those with learning disabilities...

Well, I don't know about South Florida, but you can go to the show website and watch the entire thing via streaming video. Here's the link The Elegant Universe I can't wait to drop this episode on my unsuspecting senior physics class. Those poor kids. Heh, heh. Carp

I should have known that you'd be watching this show, Dan! I agree with what you mean about setup, but I just kept reminding myself that not everyone understands GR and QM, let alone why they are so damn incompatible. I think Brian Greene did a great job as a host, as he always seems to create...

Noble Knight Games is one of the best. I've used them to turn some of my older unused games into brand new d20 stuff that I can use every week. Plus, Aaron is very prompt and great to deal with. Carp

I know this thread seemed to have died, but being a hardcore science geek I saw this and thought it might be useful. Axial Tilt Enjoy and spread the word of science! Carp

Ah, I was wondering when a Mars topic would show up here. I don't know how many amatuer astronomers reside here, but I'll throw my two cents into the ring. To answer your questions.. 1. Any telescope will allow you to see the planets, since your able to see them with your unaided eye. The...

I've skimmed over a lot of this thread, but this portion of Djeta's post caught my attention, because I've been in this situation before. I will be the first to admit that on Friday night, when I go to my friend's house to game, we are primarily getting together to spend time hanging out...

It changes so often Had you asked this four years ago, I would have answered AEG hands down, for the great L5R and 7th Sea lines. However, since those have undergone so many changes (and this is a d20 forum), I'll update my choice. Right now, I'll pick Malhavoc Press only because the material...

Agree with the majority Mongoose got four chances from me, and they are now banned from my table and my bookshelf. The quality of writing is hit and miss even among a single author. Sam Witt wrote a great EA book (Chaos Magic) but followed it up with the abysmal Quint Psychic Warrior. This...

I second that. Just today I went to my LGS (note the lack of an F), and asked if they had any copies of Against the Shadow or Crown of Shadows. I was told that they didn't have any and when I asked when they might be back in I was told by the manager that they were not even out yet! This is...

Try using one of the download programs like GoZilla. I used that, and while it took some time, I still got the entire file. There are a lot of people trying to get the file, so I'm sure the site is seeing some increased traffic. Bear with them though, since it's definitely worth it. Carp
