    Magic

    IN Palladium Fantasy RPG there is a summoner and and warlock core classes. They use runes or circles to create their magic. There was about 2 pages worth of sigils/symbols and what each one meant. These included the elements, some races, that sort of thing.

    PDFs and Compression

    Its not always a matter of compression - it could be how how get the files, especially artwork/pictures into the file to start with. What I mean is that there are a number of people who copy/paste artwork/pictures into a file. This increases the file size immenously as you are copying the...

    Anyone done Magic via the skills mechanic?

    Khan's Press sourcebook ElfClash has a magic system in which you need to have certain ranks in certain skills to be able to use magic. That might be something to look at.

    For new players, it's hard to beat the Hero Builder's Guidebook

    I have never looked through HBG as others bought it and I saw nothing useful, even for newbies. However something I do find useful is a pdf called Dice and Dramatics, available at RPGnow.com. I found this a really useful sourcebook for new players and there is a number of pieces of equipment...

    Using Amazon in Australia [Australian input please]

    The are up the stairs, actually 2 flights of stairs - the flight landing has the chiro, the second landing has Ace. Shining South and Libris Mortis for 39.95 is better than the 59.95 that Dailys is charging. The only problem with Ace is that they get most things 2 to 3 weeks later than Dailys...

    BUMP Found the thread midway on the second page :( , so just bumping it to the top so others can easily find it. Perhaps Piratecat can give us an update of what has been received since the official closing and to let us know what else is happening with the drive.

    Bluffside is Returning from the Edge of Oblivion

    As to your question about maps Anna, would it be only certain programs that would open the map, or would it be determined by the file format and thus what the person uses to open that file format? Otherwise I could possibly see some dramas with people saying they clicked on the map and it didnt...

    PDF: How To Allow User Modification of Text. Urgent!!!

    I thought that would have been in the properties of the form box itself somewhere. Then you can choose the type of font and the size.

    PDF: How To Allow User Modification of Text. Urgent!!!

    The only option for readers to add/change information in a pdf is to make the field a form. That then allows the reader to write in that space what they want to do. You need to have Acrobat 6 Pro (NOT Standard) to do this, or an older version as that has forms normally. Best way I can think of...

    Computer Help -- svchost.exe is eating up my computer

    The only couple of files that add size to your HDD are the pagefile.sys and the hibernate.sys (if you are running it). Honestly forget about the svchost as some of the others are saying. It is a normal Windows file that needs to do a lot of work.

    No Mortality Radio Sept 3rd

    John, Due to when Adlon mentioned it on Mortality homepage and the number of news items after that, it was pushed to about halfway down (perhaps even further now) the firstpage of mortality. Since, Adlon as posted they were buffeted by winds, but little else damagewise. And not being in the US...

    Review Request - Elminster’s Daughter

    *Spoiler in this post* Answers to questions as they were written: Yes, and it depends on the person reading it. I read the book from the library, so I cant quote bits straight out of the book. My wife had problems reading the book - too many characters to keep track of. You meet one on page x...

    Wizards getting 4 skill points per level

    So what if Wizards have a high Int and thus will have more skill points? They are meant to be studious and know many of the Knowledge skills. In my house campaign I DO give Wizards 4 + Int mod. BUT half of their skill points must be spent on Knowledge skills. Eg an elven wizard with a 17 Int...

    Hong in Cairns, day 2 (seasickness day) (warning: big photos)

    I was in Cairns recently, or more correctly in Palm Cove, one of the beaches north of Cairns and I was there for one week of holidays. Went to the reef, didn't get seasick at all and spent most of the day snorkeling on the Outer Reef. Was a blast! Petted a grouper while it was being fed and all...
