I don't see the notation issue as an insurmountable one, more of something which would slow things down. Afterall I recall reading somewhere that there was a time when musical notation wasn't standardized, but eventually it became so due to the convenience offered by the printing press...

This might be better suited to a bard than a monk, but perhaps this was the escape route taken by those fleeing whatever attack it was that turned the former dwarven city into a ruin. Perhaps this was the very site of the last great battle that saw the last of those brave dwarves mercilessly...

I would say yes to spellbooks. Despite the costs associated with creating them, spellbooks don't seem to have any innate magical properties of their own. They're just very expensive mundane books full of the instructions a trained caster needs in order to cast spells. Though one problem...

I don't think this level of detail will ever be given about Krynn because fundamentally Dragonlance is a world for novels that happens to have RPG products made for it, whereas the Forgotten Realms is fundamentally an RPG world that happens to have novels written about it. The difference was...

Ed Greenwood's article about treasures which lead to adventures from an issue numbered somewhere in the 160's. It was basically a table of treasure that included adventure hooks, such as a magical scabbard which is really a doppleganger, or a figurine that is really a person who was shrunk and...

I found one person who had a similar problem that was apparently caused by bad sectors on the disk. Running chkdsk /r seemed to fix it for them. Hope this helps.

I'm up for some D&D and some Modern. I'm willing to GM a Modern game, but my interest in D&D is strictly as a player. Fear not Henry, you wouldn't be the only one. I've never even been to a convention before, let alone GMed at one. Is there anyone here who has GMed in a convention-type...

Delurking briefly to say thanks for both versions. You just saved me hours upon hours of work.

Count me as interested. I'm from the Asheville area, but I'm up for a drive down to the Triangle for some gaming. Someone mentioned wanting to play d20 Modern, well I'd be willing to run a session of Modern so long as the day isn't formatted so that it's all I do. (I don't have a regular...

And to further clarify, with Talent Trees each class specifies which talents 1st level characters may take. For a Smart hero, it states (pg. 26 second paragraph under Talents heading) "A 1st level Smart hero can choose from any of the talents on the Research Talent Tree."

They already have. There's a chart on page 204 of d20 Modern that converts Purchase DCs (up to 50) to dollar equivalents.

Arthur, I feel for what you're trying to do, and if I was in a financial position to help out, I would. Someone gave me my first D&D book, and I like to pay that forward whenever the ole budget allows. You might, however, have better luck with more traditional fundraising methods. There's...

Opera has been my main browser for about a year and a half. I absolutely love it. Like the latest Netscape / Mozilla versions Opera aims for standards compliance. It's also extremely configurable and includes numerous keyboard shortcuts so you can use it entirely mouse free if you desire...

Improved Initiative is handy for spellcasters, archers, and melee fighters, especially when combined with decent to high Dex. Toughness is good for divine casters and rogues who want to be more melee-oriented. Dodge is nice for anyone in melee, but especially light armored types. It's less...

If this was done properly, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Having only one PC wreaks complete havoc on the CR/EL system, as I found recently when DMing for only one player. Luckily I had a good story situation in place to get the character raised. Without a guide like this, any future...

In most browsers you can disable Java. All you need to do is turn off Java browser-side long enough to get to the User CP page and select an alternate page layout.

I'd rather have DCs go up as spellcasters go up in level. Similar to BAB, different classes would go up at different rates. Sorcerers and Wizards are supposed to be better at offensive magic, so their save DCs would climb fastest. Clerics and Bards are less about raw offensive power, so...

Considering my post count, I'd say not posting is my worst posting habit.
