There's one huge difference between stalking/harassment and wooing/courtship. Namely, a gentleman seeking a woman's hand not only open declares their intent in as formal a manner as possible (in writing at the very least), but immediately ceases pursuit if the woman makes it clear she is not...

Charisma has always, always, always been personal presence, not mere attractiveness. It was this way in 2e and 1e, and AFAIK in pre-AD&D versions.

First question: Which version of Publisher are you using? 2003 and 2004 should have a "HTML, filtered" option, which should clear out the round-trip crud. If Publisher can't work for you, try OpenOffice.org -- works like MS Word, WYSIWG, haven't heard anything bad about its HTML. Or, you...

Depends on the day, and who's playing. When we play Exalted on wednesdays, not really. Neither the at-the-moment Sunday game. But, were I going to have someone come and witness, I might take a week and start a good-following-god game. And if that was done, it might be a good example.

And the very fun part is, it works just fine for me. I mean, totally fine. Completely, utterly without err. I had to reactivate the computer, but the thing works just fine after that. Is it still FUD if the company themselves are spreading it?

Silly me, forgot the three questions 1) What's a good program to use for a beginner but computer literate kind of guy? Openoffice.org, with the ExtendedPDF macro. It can read Word documents, and once you set headings (which you should have done already) it can give you a fully...

You may want to take another look at Openoffice. If you download the current version (1.1.4, not 1.9) you can extend its rather limited PDF functionality wtih the "ExtendPDF" macro from the OOMacros project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooomacros You might need a bit of configuration...

An explanation, I hope Interesting thread, and I certainly don't want to step on anyone's toes, but... Nisarg, if I were running an CoC game and you asked me the same question, I'd probably respond as follows: You're right. The mere knowledge of Cthulu is not enough to drive your PC...

House rules not necessary House rules aren't necessary to avoid the XP cost. Look up "Power Points" in the DMG. In a nutshell, use special components instead of XP -- you get the same hard limit to items (an easier to control hard limit, if anything) and no one drops in XP. (You could...

Challenges. I don't find this to be the case. The words from D&D Core -- specifically, challenge rating and overcoming challenges -- strongly imply that killing is not necessary to be rewarded XP. Now, the lack of a good social combat system makes non-combat challenges feel less of an...

Soloing seems easy enough. There are distinct missions for soloing, and groups get less XP per-person from each kill (albeit more in total.)

Homosexuality (as in, the attraction to the same gender, not the ability to feel pleaseure from homosexual acts) is a latent adaptation in your races, put there by their creators to increase stability in populations given a dramatic slant away from 50/50 male/female proportions due to...

It's my understanding that wicca is a very varied relgion -- even if the author's expereince or research shows him a differnet view than what you've seen, it doesn't mean he's wrong. If someone wrote an RPG detailing modern Christian pirests and had them limited to men, (or open to all...

Fantasy is a subgenre of Sci-Fi. While it's possible to list them seperately, it's also entierly appropriate to lump them together.

The rules ARE the game. If you can't be by-the-book, be consistent. If you can't be consistent, don't run the game!. I don't play all the time, but when I do nothing irritates me more than spending time plotting what my character can do, and then being told "no, I'm not running the game that...

This is a case of the writiers for a television series being deeper than casual watching implies. There's obviously a psychic component to Superman's powers--which is why he was able to best the thug in Lionel's body and why Lionel's liver isn't about to kill him.

The problem with B) is that, in D&D, you don't care about touches save for touch attacks. Unless you have a reason to check it, there's no point. IMC I have touch-attacks that don't damage the character damage their armor; this is done partly to add in more flavor, and partly to balance out...

After realizing that the treasure tables were all just dice rolled times value-equivalent coinage sets, I started just randomly chucking dice. It would probably be a worthy undertaking to make a "purse table" that came up with more interesting amounts, such as "5d6 gp and 10d10 sp and 2d20 cp"...

You couldn't do that with the Prometheus Compataiblity License. We based the license broadly on the d20STL, but added in a requirement for compatability with the "Prometheus Reference Documents" -- the SRD by a differnet name. Whatever you do, please don't make yet another logo; you can...

So, a semisoft head-sized ball of flesh is more lethal than a sharp sword? I say re-do the golem "fist" base damage, and make up the rest in strength. To keep their to-hit in the same range, have the golems automatically power-attack.
