I do apologize for the time I have been away… For the last several months I have been dealing with a debilitating injury to my head, causing troubles with motor function, word choice, and general ability to be useful to the community at large. It really began to hit me shortly after the...

So we're committing xenocide on a race? Well... That's. Awesome? To commit xenocide requires one of three approaches: Sterilization, Sex Elimination, or Total Annihilation. As genetics beyond race do not exist in D&D as-written (two strong humans create... a random combination of stats that...

The whole thing is that you're considering the prison as a dungeon rather than as a series of vignettes unlocked through the play in the prison. Event A's outcome can cause B,C,D,&E to unlock, and vice versa. You could make this into a theoretical '5-room' event. Its a matter of altering your...

Was not an issue when darkness was just not tasked to an object but a radius. The balance issue was not with the effect of darkness but the placement on a location... Slainte, -Loonook.

Yeah, but don't fret. The whole thing is a D&D campaign... BUT, its completely open-ended. There's... Just, no, material. Thousands upon thousands of cards, and there may be a few hundred pages on the entire world. All of it seems to be contained in the novels. So you can create pretty...

Why do the players get their grubby hands on anything? Your bosses need to follow the party paradigm... And that means that he should be able to throw quite a bit more hate towards the party without necessarily providing back the same abilities. If you want the players to have it? Give it to...

Well, the fact is that Dominaria pretty much is a D&D setting ;). The creatures are a bit different, but the basis of the system is made in its unique types and interactions. And the historical points of Dominaria are pretty major as centuries seem to pass between each set. Urborg? You have...

If you are a member of the Guild and in jail... You're probably not low man on the totem pole. I would think something similar to the mobsters in Goodfellas... A nice, relaxing bit of time away from the streets, the wives, the mistresses, and the money. The whole thing is that prisons... Are a...

Which Dominarian time period? I mean, there are a lot of them... Brother's War, the Dark, Phyrexian, post-Invasion? Slainte, -Loonook.

This just goes to show two things: A.) A company can choose to take the rights to a property/name, slap it on an unrelated project, and call it a day... AND B.) Games usually lead to horrible movies. But can inspire some great musicals... One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head (HQ Audio) -...

Well then. There aren't really any magic items or other ways to build... So we're kind of hosed on that side. Now it is a matter of figuring out your economy. Pretty easy to do if you take into account the City State as a whole. For the purposes of our discussion we need to figure out a way...

So Steve Jobs was reincarnated to run the Brotherhood? Slainte, -Loonook.

Here are a few questions I have regarding your setting: 1.) How prevalent is magic? 2.) How large do you WANT your states to be? In theory, with magic, you can have multiple unique forms of city states that would not exist within the historical world. Just one example, to solve for logistics...

As I have now been told twice in the thread, I am apparently not here to do homework for you. There is actually a great wiki that shows all scholarly works/articles on Andre Norton and Scifi authors in general... You can read through the critiques. And of course, the work itself. But again...

Not really. Mialee is completely within line with Hennet... Both are arcane casters. And the gnome, who as I said seems pretty much in-line with his race (where I can't find a female gnome in allegedly scant dress)? Well, he has more clothes than everyone. And if I do not agree with you I'm...

Uhhuh. And yet, the gender reversal still stands. Norton has been discussed by scholars across the board... And I covered everything I wanted to cover on the topic. Hennet wears full clothing? That's weird... Looks pretty much barechested to me. That may just be one depiction...

Which is weird because Paizo, ENWorld, WotC, FFG, Troll Lord, Goodman Games... None of them require what you're asking for RE: a pre-read 'essay' on the material basically providing a mini version of the material. Of course you get enough articles together... Also, providing a vague 'range'...

The materials are described as being on the outskirts, rather than the core of materials. If I am given a free sample at a convention, no matter what the type, it is usually going to be coming as a parcel from a specific group that wants me to check out their product. The materials you...

Uhhuh. And I say that if you want to complain about the hobby's attitudes you may want to determine the center rather than the outskirts. I don't complain about an entire group of people because of fringe elements in an echo chamber... Just pointing out the fact that you do judge books by...

Ever wonder what happens when my blogkeeping slips and I forget to save deleted posts? Well welcome to the last week! Found out they were deleted so rewriting a week of columns rather than doing the next week :(. However... I have been inspired to write up a new Economy of D&D article. This...
