I can't believe that no one has mentioned Haldeman's Forever War, and the sequel Forever Peace. Classic Military SF. Chalking up another vote on Heinlein's Starship Troopers. Love that book. Also got a decent military SF in Williams & Dix's Evergence series. A bit predictable towards the...

Done and done. And I mean, done! :D

Dude, still unable to email you! Drop me a line at sugarmousethebrave@yahoo.com.au or asmodean2@hotmail.com So that I can let you know what's going on.

I threw something similar on the table of my gaming group. It made no sense to me that weapons had to be enchanted first before being able to add an elemental damage type. For me it was one and the same. My DM actually considered it, but then vetoed the idea. There are too many creatures out...

Nature of Reality and Insanity Consider the following: Your mind actually filters out 50% of all the things that you can perceive at any one time. That's right. You only ever actually experience half of the things that you are capable of interacting with. That is your current consensual...

Had a Dwarven Skyraider called Lothair in ED once. During one memorable fight: "Your blood on my axe, orc b***h!" A fine Battle Shout that turned out to be very prophetic. She was higher circle too. *wistful sigh*

Love the adaptation, hong. ;) Clarke might actually be proud. :D

Piratecat, tried emailing you, but your email address keeps on bouncing, something along the side of a server route problem from your end (insofar as I can read from the bounce.) SM

Taking Sejs point another step forward, have the Dwarven god come to an epiphany about the nature of balance in the universe. Have him approach one of the more neutral or lawful goblinoid gods, and offer a pooling of resources to seed this demi-plane, so that both species might continue to...

Interesting responses so far. Thanks for the synopsis and link J_D, it does allow for that (shall we* say) more realistic portrayal of an fantasy social ecology. I can see this optional rule making even more sense in a VP/WP adaption (like SW) where just because you are more knowledgeable and...

Thanking you kindly!

Can someone clarify for me: Is a Spiked Chain a double weapon or not?

Umm... Piratecat, did you happen to receive my somewhat late donation? Not that I am angling for prizes (heck I barely use the PHB anymore and it was late anyway), but I'm curious to know if my proverbial wad of dosh made it over safely?

Out of curiosity hong, did you have a handset plugged in at the time when installation was supposed to occur? I work for a Telco (one who has been doing really annoying adds lately) and a dead line on a reloc usually occurs because the switch does not get a response signal when hooking up the...

OK. So middle of the year, our group concluded a SW campaign. Within 6 months game time, my character went from a Level 1 Jedi Padawan to a Jedi Knight. More recently, our DM/GM is running us through the Shackled City. My character is 19 years old, and the party is now fourth level average...

There are actually three endings to the Butterfly effect. Each session at a cinema would screen a different ending. The Director's Cut lets you look at all three screened endings - the feel-good ending, the ehhh ending, and the 'cripes it all makes sense' ending.

OK, reviewed the existing plethora of rules and have adapted and chopped and added, and in general hope that its not currently purposefully ambling down to the nearby village after an applied jolt of electricity. My DM likes, and hopefully, so will you. :D Inscribe Magic Tattoo [Item...

Thank you all for the interesting replies! Having a look, it seems that coming up with a balanced approach, blending all of the rules into a synthesis would be the way to go. I like the limiters of only so much body space and level of spell tattoos allowable tied in with your Con mod. This will...

Long, long post... In a world where apathy and moral distancing has become the status quo, it is easy to label an action right or wrong, good or evil. This is an outgrowth of what I term the politics of the other (whereyby one defines ones view in opposition to something else.) Everyone has...

Well, bought Complete Arcane, under the hope that they would cover off Tattoo magic, and tattooed magic items. What do they do? Talk about tattooed spellbooks in a small section, and then reference Forgotten Realms. And neither one covers off the magical tattoos (like potions or permanent...
