From far too many years of gaming comes a collection of long-running hits: "Now THAT's a trap!" A kender thief transplanted into a Realms game. While traipsing through the ruins of some northern dwarven enclave, she came across a suspicious-looking box. She checked for traps, found none (failed...

I quite agree. BBC Canada shows programs the same way, and it is a very refreshing change from the rest of the dial. Now if only they would get off their butts and start playing the next series of Merseybeat, then I'll be happy.

I think if that were the case, the SRD would not be linked to the Wizards website. Nor would Ryan Dancey have said that he would like to see the OGL be used as the license of choice for fansites instead of the Wizards Online Policy. If they had wanted only publishers to use the SRD, they would...

There's an echo in here. :)

The OGL does no such thing. The d20 trademark license prohibits character generation and describing how to apply the effects of experience. As far as I can tell, you could include an experience table in a d20 trademarked product, you just can't describe how to use it. As for OGL works, they can...

Sadly, I fear that GL's last will includes orders to destroy all remaining copies of the original versions. His disrepect for history knows no bounds. I don't care if he revises the films till he has Jar Jar destory the Death Star in A New Hope. It's his desire to eliminate the movie that I...

The website does give that impression, however the page numbers on the bottom of the checklist would be a giveaway that it is an excerpt from the book itself.

I told you I was confused. :D Hmmm. Starship Troopers. Could be good. I am most interested in this new system thing. I wonder what direction Mongoose will be going in with this.

OK, I'm confused. Has it been announced yet or are you assuming that the speculation above is the actual license?

Mal: "Jayne, my days of not taking you seriously have definitely reached a middle." And who could forget "Crime. We're doin' crime."

I knew that I had read something about the "more people alive now than have gone before" factoid disputed somewhere recently. And this link would be where: http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/dead.htm They have footnotes at the bottom of the page that lead to the sources used for the piece.

Perhaps I was unclear. I was referring to the expressed hope that the quick sellout of the first printing would lead to some sort of deluxe hardcover with materials not in the current version. Obviously a second printing of the current version (or a hardcover with the same content as the...

From one who paid $40 (CAN) for the softcover just three days ago, how's about they don't add anything to the second printing. Or if they do add material, make it available as a PDF (either free a la Mongoose or for a small fee on RPGNow). I'd hate to be penalized for being one of the people...

Sounds very interesting. My only concern would be to find a way to ensure that the players did not allow knowledge of one group's plans effect the actions of the other group. With the same players plsying both sides of a conflict, they will have more information about their opponent's plans and...

Could be Eddings' Belgariad/Malloreon stuff (Pawn of Prophecy came out in 1982). Think of it. Your characters embark on an epic quest, and then do it again with a slight twist after they finish the first time.:rolleyes:

You must have some interesting ancestors.:) I think that seeing the skin tone of creatures like drow as having anything to do with dark-skinned human ethnicities says more about the beholder than that being beheld. I think that drow (and other evil races) have dark (usually black, actually, of...

I think it important to remember that these non-human races are just that, non-human. They have their own kinds of racial diversity that need not have anything to do with human needs to classify people by their skin colour. Beyond that, to say that all of these non-human races are "white" in...

Heh, looks like it's on his front steps. I think the potted plant in the background shows the scale pretty well. Nice dragon anyway.

And from the other end of the country from Barsoomcore and TB - St. John's, Newfoundland.

He does more than imply it, he states it through Gandalf in a conversation with Elrond prior to the Council in FotR. Gandalf informs Elrond that "Saruman's treachery is greater than you know. He has crossed orcs with goblin men through foul craft. He is breeding an army in the caverns of...
