Re: Re: Woohoo! My understanding was that the original book concept was W/H's idea, but the "completely destroy the D&D-style magic and set up a SAGA - style magic" idea was entirely TSRs...

[Not impressed. Using profanity and cleverly 'disguising' it by putting a period in the middle suggests to me that you are deliberately trying to provoke me. I know that you are well aware of the profanity rules here. You are just wasting my time. - Morrus]

C'mon, everyone knows kobolds reproduce by mitosis. (Randolpho just got done watching Evolution. ;))

I like to use old skool descriptions of gnomes: old and leathery looking even as adolescents, browns for hair and skin tones, tendency to get white hair early in life, big noses. Personality wise, I let them run the gamut just like I do all other races, but in general mischevious. Sorta...

The Thieves Guild. Both the magocracy and theocracy kick each others asses, decimating both countries. The thieves guild in both form an alliance and take over the two countries.

... and she *stepped* on the *ball*.

Class level. Always class level when referring to a class description.

I've played the d6 version, but haven't played the d20 version. I'd have to say, as a roleplaying system, there isn't really all that much difference, aside from rolling statistics. In fact, when I first heard of how D&D 3e was gonna work (damn, is it 3 years now?), I thought "hey, that's just...

/me suddenly gets *VERY* jealous. That's the trip. Do it, take tons of pictures.

I still say the Bayou.

Shark, haven't you heard? They took down the St. Patty's day theme *weeks* ago. Looks around. How the hell did I get here?

Microsoft isn't a bad company. They actually do put out quality software. Randolpho stands back and waits for the inevitable choking sounds. Just like Microsoft-bashing...

It's so much fun to watch the penguins come out to lambast Microsoft every chance they get. News flash: linux aint all that great as a gui OS. Hell, linux itself doesn't even *have* a gui, it's just got a windows 3.1-style shell program for gui stuff. Which isn't *nearly* as stable or even as...

Ok, I have two questions about this. First: given the blatent attempts to capitalize off D&D and d20 without actually using the d20 STL and logo... ... how likely is it that WotC will sue for copyright infringement? Second: When does Ultima d20 come out? :D

You, sir, are trashing a corporate trademark! You may expect to not hear from their lawyers at all until they win a default settlement against you for half a million dollars. :p

It's a slightly anachronistic concept, but given the total anachronism of most D&D campaigns, it's not that bad. :) The name and command words have got to go, tho. Sorry, anachronistic concepts are one thing, blatant word theft is another. :p

Telor -- your table sounds really cool. Would you care to post a picture of it or a drawing of it at some point in the future? I'd love to see it, to get my own ideas...

Care to back that claim up? What do you consider railroading and Dues Ex Machina? Well, ok, maybe not *growth* of character, save Ridley coming to grips with the death of Snails, but each character was unique (if D&D Stereotypical) in his/her own way. Or would have been, had the actors been...

D&D Stereotypical Thief (complete with thieves guild), D&D Stereotypical Dwarf Fighter (complete with bad manners, drunkenness, and bearded women), D&D Stereotypical Elf Ranger/Druid, D&D Colored Dragons. I notice a lot more than just beholders (although they were damn cool). I hope they make...

True enough. :) I hear it had a low budget tho... if that's the case, this movie worked out damn well for a low budget. If only the director had managed to get some *acting* out of the actors.... ;)
