Robert J. Bezold from Dragon #51 Dictates of the Catholic Church, from the 11th Century Crusades: 1. Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches and shalt obey all her commandments. 2. Thou shalt defend the Church. 3. Thou shalt respect all weaknesses and shalt constitute thyself the...

I can't believe no one has said Miami Vice ! Surely I'm not the only one that grew up in the 80's wearing slacks and loafers with no socks! (And whoever said Airwolf is right on!)

Amazing! You are most generous to share this with us, and I am highly impressed! With your permission I'd like to borrow some of your work to incorporate into my world (building one from scratch for first time). What is your real name so I can give you proper credit? (Even though it won't...

Very nice. I've yoinked them and may use them (since I can't draw maps to save my life). They are very ordered--like the village was planned rather than growing up haphazard as people move in. Not a bad thing--what's wrong with city planning?

For those who wish to spare no expense, why not a Bag of Devouring, planar gate (one way!), or a Sphere of Annihilation? Cheaper would be imprisoned otyughs, gelatinous cubes, or puddings/oozes/jellies. Could you teleport the contents of a cesspool (into a field in need of fertilizer or such)?

Load up all of cleric's spell slots with Searing Light and Sonic Burst (is that the name?) and Flame Strike Sorceror Magic Missile, Acid Arrow, Fireball (which does very little damage) And clear the other 3 nodes first so the Orb of Death has maximum summoning capability. Start the fight...

I realize beggars should not be complaining... but what about Stormbringer?

Chalk me up as one of the Bible-thumpers. My Sunday School teacher when I was a kid believed pretty much all fantasy was BAD BAD BAD. For whatever reason I was able to filter that part of her teaching out, as I'm a complete fantasy nut and yet still went to seminary to study theology. Perhaps...

This is perfect! Many thanks, Tetsubo.

What are her books like? I pick them up in the store because the cover art looks good...but I've never bought one. Anyone have a recommendation? My favorites (just so you'll know my bias): David Gemmell, Eddings, Modessit (Recluse, haven't read the other series yet) are far and away my...

24 is love-hate with me. I can't stand Kim. Never liked her or her mom. Shame on me, but I was rooting for Nina in the 1st season (dump the wife, Jack! Take Nina). Little did I know she was evil incarnate. I have to agree with you on the Wayne/David/Sherrie thing... yawn.

It's been forever since I've used Acrobat (not Reader... just Acrobat). Doesn't it have a "Save As..." feature? Here's what my Google found: http://www.digitalriver.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry17c?CID=88454&PN=5&SP=10007&SID=19198&PID=617806&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=88454 $50...

Hey ManicFuel... I used to run a TechShop for CompUSA also... (Irving, TX). I have to 2nd the cable comment: you don't want to know cost on those babies! There's no margin in computers and they make up for it in cables!!

I just went through all 34 pages of the original thread and these 6. It's now 1am and I've got work tomorrow!! Incredible work, though. Thank you for sharing with us. 2 requests, if I may: 1. Your interpretation of Stormbringer, Elric's soul-stealing greatsword. 2. A greatsword of simplistic...

How much impact do you want the war to have? Is it to be the focus of the campaign or just an element? Will the PC's be involved as soldiers, commanders, scouts, what? If the PC's are low-level, their range of contribution may be limited--what can a 1st level ___ contribute? If the PC's are...

Thought of another one--Goodkind's Blood of the Fold (Jordan's Children of Light--did I remember that correctly?). The "righteous" knights that do all manner of evil things. Some of the members really are paladins. They believe the code, they are truly good. But others are hiding behind the...

To steal a plot from Zahn's Hand of Thrawn series, one nation is hiding a secret from long ago, the other nations want it revealed. Each side is adamant for what they perceive as legitimate reasons. To make it more complex, the secret-hiding nation doesn't know the whole story, but others...

I bought it off Ebay for $5 for my son who loves Diablo. Anyone played it? Should I play it, too? Or just leave it for my offspring?

Definitely keep an eye on Sam's Club. Went in there a month ago with my wife (first time ever been there) and got ToEE and Neverwinter Nights Gold, each for $17!!! I couldn't believe it.
