    BoVD Thoughts

    It is not a contradiction, because that was not my argument. My argument is about the attitude and style of d&d, not merely its subject matter. What books do you feel are hero-oriented? I have trouble of thinking of one beyond the Hero Builders Guidebook. Villians had, some-what...

    I must be the only crazy person here....

    It is good to see you about, Decamber, but I will pass on the hug. ;) FD

    BoVD Thoughts

    I think you are being flippant about these concerns. No one expected the initial attacks on d&d. While you may have found that the d&d hysteria "wasn't that big a deal", many others went through hard time during that period. I can understand their concern But since the book will be coming...

    Favorite Wizard/Sorcerer/Arcane Magic Sourcebook?

    The author, Mr.Witt, said the free errata/web-support for Chaos magic will be done by the end of the year. He said it will be worth it. I would like to see a Quint. Chaos Mage as well. FD

    I must be the only crazy person here....

    I long ago stopped worrying about my sanity- I liked S&F as well. I also have not allowed gnomes in a campeign for sometime. FD

    BoVD Thoughts

    First- I will say again what I have said from the beginning- wait and see. Wait and see. Wait and see. I think you are painting by too broad of a brush- especially with B. A- I don't care what people think, but I can appreciate those concerned that went through the worst of the d&d hysteria...

    BoVD Thoughts

    I believe it is Bothered Against Dungeons & Dragons they were referring to... They were a group wanting to put warning labels on d&d books. FD Edit: And, while I did not care for the group- the women who was the center of it lost her son to suicide and herself died a few years back- I am not...

    BoVD Thoughts

    Have you seen the book or are you stabbing in the dark like the people attacking the BoVD without seeing it? It seems to me that instead of another set of rants- we just wait and see. FD

    50 fantastical cities (or How writers block sunk my campaign world)

    I thought the term was horizontally-challenged.. or Gladularly-challenged. I just say they have a big belly. FD

    [OT] Could a Canadian explain this to me?

    Ugh, I am with you- most foods should be savored for the wonderful tastes of their own- not smothered in preservative filled processed goo that only covers the wonderful flavors. Sounds like you are feeling better, Buttercup. heh. I hope so, anyway. Time to go watch Bruce Cambell beat someone...

    Undead and Critical Hits

    Ok, so, since vampires only have one vital piece of anatomy- their heart- you are going to have any crit kill one? That is find- it goes along with movies like From Dusk til Dawn, but I want my vampires to be tougher then that. I really don't see a reason why not to allow them to take...

    Undead and Critical Hits

    Salutations, Because a skeleton and zombie is not killed by losing their head. :) As for the vampire- there are no called shots, and their internal organs take as much beating as they need to before the pesky adventurer is dead. FD

    Favorite monsters in the MM2?

    I am glad to see some old favorites (Neogi and YakMEN), but my favorite from the book: Bone Ooze. FD

    How many light spells cancel overlapping darkness spells?

    The room is so small all 4 deeper darknesses overlap- I am not sure I follow why it would work in the middle and nowhere else in the room. FD

    How many light spells cancel overlapping darkness spells?

    At first I was going to agree with the cleric, but then I thought of it this way- If there was only one deeper darkness and daylight was cast- both would be countered and things turn natural. If another daylight or deeper darkness is cast, then they should not be immediately countered- they...

    50 fantastical cities (or How writers block sunk my campaign world)

    Interesting- they would also be sealed into their rooms. The automotons learned long ago that interaction causes strife and strife causes unhappiness. That is why the population is now dropping, and they have chosen to become a lure. Well, the original creators wanted to be left alone- they...

    What innovative ways have you come up with for PCs to get together

    I am not a player, but as I like to see to my players "welcome to the wonders of e-mail". But, I have the advantage that all my players are online. It also might be interesting to start a campeign and tell everyone they will be related, but they are responsible for designing the family-...

    Do familiars get darkvision/lowlight vision

    Salutations, I do not think they do- lowlight vision is listed as a special ability of the owl familiar. It would not be so special if they all could do it. FD

    50 fantastical cities (or How writers block sunk my campaign world)

    Re: Fantasy Hotel California?? That is a clever idea, but why would they want more people? What are they doing with the ones they have? Turning them into grease? Perhaps they are breaking down and they are hoping to attract someone they can force to fix their problem. The only part of the...

    Evil Cities.

    Heh, thank you. The key with villians who are in power is to figure out how they stay in power- by might or by subversion. The first is great for the short term, but the second is best for the long term. And a vampire is in it for the very long term. FD
