As for fav restaurants I'm a fan of Buca di Beppo, Rock Bottom, Morton's and Bertolini's. I'm drawing a blank on some of my other frequent places...Most of the ones I listed are for if you don't mind spend a little more money. $15-$50/person. We don't really go to any bars though mostly...

I'll second the request for mechanics. I started working out specifics a couple of months ago and sort of let it drop. I was going to use D20 as the base, but make the schools of magic skill-based and have feats for broom-flying etc... I'm in the Indianapolis area too so if you want to play...

I glanced at your profile and mixed up your interests with your occupation. My wife majored in creative writing (poetry) though so I know the same sentiment unfortunately remains. (though we always hope otherwise)

I read Daughter of Regals awhile back, but don't remember much. However, both of the trilogies have stuck with me a bit more. I almost never stop reading a book, but I totally agree I got pretty frustrated with Thomas. I think most fantasy fans dream of dropping into a magical medieval world...

I'm surprised there's not a little more interest in this disc. I watched it a little earlier today and saw 3 of the 4 main endings. It's a pretty cool D&D adventure that captures a real game, but isn't super cheesy. Lidda was pretty funny and captured what lots of halfling players attempt to...

If you like vampire/horror (and apparently Ninja Scroll) then I would suggest Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Vampire Princess Miyu is pretty dark as well. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are both good bounty hunter series (that's about where the similarities end). Haunted Junction...

Well, he's going to be here in Indy for Inconjunction http://www.inconjunction.org/goh/?GuestId=180&Year=23 and then I'd imagine he'll be back at Gencon so I'm assuming he probably lectures a lot at sci-fi conventions.

I have a psionic warrior who wields a scythe that I've been working on for awhile. At higher levels the scythe averages out to do more damage than a 2-handed sword so don't knock it. I think I fall into the why bother? camp for this very reason.

What they always seem to miss is that these are "paintings" of fantasy scenes. Why don't they blame the people who have or are planning on painting? I mean, they teach painting in school don't they? When will those liberals in the media look in their own backyard and see what damage is being...

I'd be a little hesitant to let one of my players do this as their character would really be drawing a lot of attention from other characters. However, something to keep in mind is that Vash and Kenshin used to both be pretty vicious so in D&D terms they could take penalties for making subdual...

I was in the SCA at PU for 2 years and nobody else played D&D. Most of the members were either into the historical aspects or were sort of goth and played Vampire/Werewolf. Due to the nature of the group I'm sure the same people are still there. Anyways I think there are 2 or 3 role-playing...

I'm a little torn on how to rule on the strength bonus on a double weapon. Per the FAQ using a single head you get 1.5 str damage. However, when using it normally, with both heads, does the player get their normal strength bonus on both heads? Etools seems to indicate they do and I can't find...

I think I'd be disturbed if one of my players physically stole a book because "real" money is being lost (no IP arguments please). The only time I've been annoyed by a PDF user was someone who had a couple CDs worth and hadn't bought anything. My usual players at least all have the PHB and...

Couldn't you just change some of the flavor text and make him a non-magical warrior who draws his power from the destruction of magical items? Maybe it's a curse in your campaign.

It'd be more like Zork with combat. I made a 1st or 2nd edition (can't remember now) IF in BASIC about 12 years ago. I think there are a bunch of programs out there right now to do all your text parsing, but I haven't seen any specifically handle stats, though I haven't really looked.

Yeah, I don't think I see the correlation though it's a funny comparison at first. If given the option my wife would much rather go into a porn shop though because the people there are usually a lot more normal. There's always a bunch of really loud teens at the game shops in this area (mostly...

I can't believe you're knocking Spngebob. Anyways, I was a big fan of Conan and made an elemental magic system based off the mage in the 2ed days. The main writer for the show also did the very cool Conquest of Camelot and Conquest of the Longbow for Sierra (as well as the JEM cartoon).

In my group I think I've had the worst. He was a flamboyant fairy mage in 2nd ed. called Ricardo Antonio Prepusio de Santiago or something like that. Prepusio being Spanish for something Eric's grandma doesn't wish to read about.

I think the 50% thing is fine for players, but I wouldn't feel bad dropping it to 25% if I wanted to simulate a real-world economy. If a shopkeeper is going to buy something from a player than they can't give full price unless they're going to turn around and charge more than that to the next...

Would it be just as nerdly to mention that a novice in the SCA could take out that entire party?
