    [OT] Bali terrorist attacks

    Re: Re: [OT] Bali terrorist attacks Ah, but Indonesia cannot have terrorism, because according to its laws, terrorists do not exist in Indonesia. There was a recent furor over this, and the government can't go back on its word now. Thus, this cannot be a terrorist act, because that's...

    [OT] Bali terrorist attacks

    Indonesia hasn't been the best place for foreigners for a long time. We've had a confrontation between a military truck with its personnel and a school bus near Jakarta International School, the occasional bomb threat at the same--though the last was quickly traced to a middle school student--...

    The Dawn of Magic: Another Way to Look at Magic's Effect on Society

    Then there are the druidic aspects in Native American cultures, and the power of the Aztecs begins to grow, as people are sacrifices by the thousands to feed dark magics. What about a true Robin Hood figure whom suddenly finds that the very trees and animals aid him in eluding the pursuit of...

    The Dawn of Magic: Another Way to Look at Magic's Effect on Society

    I've seen quite a few threads dealing with magic in society, and how things would change, how technology would be affected, how there could be healing and food for all, and so on and so forth. Brilliant discussion, with startling insights on the part of several posters. Here's another way to...

    "Family" game?

    If anybodies playing The Sims online, I want to know how. The original edition of the game didn't come with that feature. I'm the first to say 'Look, the world's going down in flames, people are changing for the worst, the end is nigh', and so on and so forth. But that makes me very...

    Have gamers ever been tolerant?

    Mark Twain, have you come back to haunt us? No, wait, Mark Twain thought society was evil, not the innocent man... Maybe you're channeling Joseph Conrad instead... Sorry, literature moment. Just spent hours doing lit. Go back to your business, nothing to see here :)

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Hello all, It's time for my first and likely-to-be-ignored ignored D20 post here on the Harn folk! This being my first post to you, I thought I'd serve up a link to an interesting thread I spent considerible time mulling over, much to my regret. In it, some D20 players discuss problems they...

    How do you folks do it... I mean post so much!

    What Buttercup said. Plus, I'm on the wrong side of the world, so I have to work extra hard at night and early in the morning to stop any good ideas from getting past me. Being that tired doesn't help me think of constructive comments. *Yawn* Edit: Took a look at my post counter... Ack! I...

    a Theonering.net report: Dragonlance, the Movie

    My apologies; a thread on this subject already exists. Go to that one instead, I insist. It's titled News of a Dragonlance movie. I must have been one of the last ones to post to the general forum before the mods tookover and swept everything into this one. My mistake :).

    Guardians of the Flame

    Not Quite Scaramouche , yes. This book follows with the characters mentioned above. While some might not agree, I found it as enjoyable as most of his fiction -- and filled with the same tibits I love adapting to my own games. I purchased it this summer at a Coles Bookstore, and read it...

    Which of these two directors would you choose for the next D&D Movie?

    Thought you might like to know... All right, I'm not exactly a fan of the Dragonlance books. I have read all many if not all books set in the Dragonlance world, but that's more because I'm a speed-reader who runs out of fantasy books and libraries all too quickly. But, based on the recent...
