Heh... Is anyone else reminded of the Red Mage from 8-bit Theater? :D

Are you talking about the theif right outside the thug's little hangout door? I don't think it really matters whether or not you talk to her when you get out. She doesn't give you much of anything, IIRC. What you need to do now is go out the other gate and talk to the wall.

I disagree. Modifying data structures is nothing new -- *every* program can modify data structures, even its own instruction sequence (although the latter is very dangerous). That's clearly not enough, or we'd already *have* AS by now. The problem is not so much just changing data structures or...

Decamber -- if you don't already have it, I highly suggest you pick up Dieties and Demigods. Stuff like this is dealt with in that book. It's well worth the cash, IMO. In D&D in general (Faerun as well), the gods form what the book terms a "loose pantheon". Here are some interesting exerpts...

Mostly hack and slash and very little role playing..... :p :eek: :p

Well, well, well, an AI thread! I'm a Computer Science major, and I love AI discussions. Aside from the totally nonsensical social commentary, this is an interesting thread. I'll start with a question: What really *is* Artificial Intelligence? When people talk about AI, do they mean the AI that...

Maybe it's the top-ten of the contest!

So does this mean that I need to go to GenCon to find out if I won????!?!?!? Damn, maybe I can use this to my advantage. "Honeeeey.... I have to go to GenCon this year -- it's the only way I'll find out if I won the campaign contest! It's only a few hundred bucks for a chance at 100k! Isn't...

I'll see if I can be of help. I still remember tons of the stuff I learned in my Highschool Earth Science class, 'cause I use it all the time when I design worldmaps. :) So you're saying that the continent is roughly islandic, similar to, say, australia, but with the northernmost border at...

The way I see it is this. It's $120,000. At my current salary, it would take me many years to make that much. I'm more than willing to pimp out my setting for a cool 1/8 Mil. And I'm greedily happy that so many decided to take the artistic high-road, 'cause that means I've got a better chance...

No... CGI means "Common Gateway Interface" in the internet world; it has absolutely nothing to do with graphics. It's that stuff you use to send information to CGI scripts written in such varied languages as Python, Perl, C, or yes, even PHP. See up at the top of your browser window where it...

Most movies make all of their money opening weekend, then sputter out, so a one-week boycott could quite possibly destroy the movie. Of course, no Star Wars movie has ever "sputtered out" after the first week, so I don't think this *particular* boycott will have any effect. In fact... if...

Well, I think CGI is good. Without CGI, we couldn't have such wonderful things as this forum, for example. Then there's things like shopping carts, search engines, and classifieds, none of which would be possible without CGI.

I came into this thread thinking planespace was trying to encourage his players to "touch" each other... Bad Randolpho! Bad! Anyway, I think some sort of balance should be struck.

You know what I'm reminded of? Microsoft. WotC makes a superior product, and offers it to others essentially free of charge. Those who like to rebel against anything mainstream for the sheer sake of being "on the cutting edge" (as they erroneously see it), hate the fact that WotC and the d20...

Here's one: men mounted on horses is generally considered the source of the Centaur. Hmm... I remember someone calling the Portugese Man O' War an inspiration for the Kraken. Um... Oh... The Celtic People are often considered the inspiration for the Elves or Fey people.

I suppose I'll have to follow suit... Hardest to play as a PC is easily Dark Sun -- it's too brutal, even given all the extra crap you get for it. The hardest to DM is easily Forgotten Realms, because of the sheer lack of "artistic license" the DM has (lest he alienate his players who have read...

Dear God... Robin Williams DMing... My head is spinning just thinking about it.

I can't stop! http://www.whatsbetter.com/ Warning: possible "adult" content, but it is filtered out by default.

That subject line is oxymoronic. Ain't no such thing as "too many" d20 products.
