Sheri S. Tepper's _The True Game_. _Three Hearts and Three Lions_. I forget who the author is, but this book was the inspiration for the D&D Paladin class. And it's a pretty good read. _The Black Company_ series by Glen Cook. I second Wolfe's _Book of the New Sun_, and Vance's _A Dying...

Game Parlor hijack So, BiggusGeekus, which Game Parlor do you show up in regularly? Woodbridge? Chantilly? joke I'd like to know, so that we can arrange an appropriate Nerfball reception for you ;-) /joke /hijack Seriously, on the role-playing side of things, the release of D&D 3.5 is a...

3.5 bundle Ah, yes. Let's do a little math here. The main books are all 29.95. 29.95 x 3 = 89.85 The bundle is priced at 89.95. Normally, when a manufacturer puts together a bundle of his books, it is priced so that you save some money. Can't say that in this case, and so, IMO, the slipcase...

Hacking penalties Actually, if the RIAA did indeed hire "hackers" to break into computer systems, they are both civilly AND criminally liable for their actions on a Federal level. According to a number of federal laws passed in the 90's, hacking into someone else's computer or computer network...

Uniforms First, it's Trek. Second, there's no supply reason that Voyager couldn't have changed uniforms at ANY point in time. In Trek, you have several different "god" devices which, when combined, pretty much eliminate anything resembling "limited resources": An economical and efficient...

Heh. Having read Planetary, I'd have to say Elijah Snow. He's smart, educated, cultured and polite. He's a person of morals and ethics, but he's also scarier than any of his contemporaries in the Wildstorm universe. Like Batman, but more so. And, of course, there's the white three-piece suit...

Pull list Knights of the Dinner Table PS 238 Girl Genius Nodwick Planetary By the way, according to the last Previews I've seen, the next issue of Planetary is scheduled for April 30th. And as regards Planetary/Batman, remember that the Blue Lamp (Green Lantern analog) is out there...

Survey I filled out the first page of the survey. Clicked submit. One minute later, the second page came up. I filled that out too and submitted it. One minute later, the third page came up. At this point, I quit out of the survey. I don't have 20 minutes to waste waiting for the survey to...

Functions Ye gods, that's hideously easy. There are several ways to go about it, but all of them involve control loops, and that is the whole point of this homework exercise; become familiar with and understand the differences between the various loop structures. I suggest you take a few...

Lyta Alexander What happened to Lyta? Well... In one of the last episodes of season 5, Lyta and Garibaldi are making a deal; Lyta will remove Bester's "Asimov" programming from Garibaldi, if Garibaldi will help Lyta with her Telepath Resistance Movement. In that little scene, talking about...

To Mongoose A lot of the "historical" data for the Babylon 5 Wars game came from a bunch of people who sifted through all things B5 and tried to make them fit together in a logical way; they are credited in B5Wars products as the HRT or Historical Repair Team. Have you thought about getting in...

Nebin vs. Gimble You mean no one else has figured out that Nebin IS Gimble? Wow. I musta been the only one to make my Will save. :) Tarek

Slayers Record of Lodoss Wars was the writer's original D&D campaign, and The Slayers first appeared as a series in Dragon Magazine: Japan. :) So they both have very strong D&D connections. I like them both, but the big story-line jump between the 4th and 5th VHS tapes [of Lodoss War] kinda...

Rename Simply rename the file with the extension .pdf (right click on the file and select rename from the pop-up menu.) Winsplit does not, for some reason, properly preserve the extension when files are split and rejoined. Tarek *you can do what Psionicist suggests but I personally would...

Greyhawk For a basic overview of the setting go to SVGames.com and buy the ESD of the 1983 boxed set. There are two products listed with the same cover, though, so you'll have to read the description carefully. For 3e, try to find a copy of the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer. There's not a whole...

Considering that the Qu'ran accepts both the Old Testament and the New Testament as being valid, if inferior and incomplete, versions of the Word of God, yes, you can in fact lump it together with Judaism and Christianity. :) Al'Akbar simply means "The Great" and has been used as an honorific...

Hmm.. Well, there's Princess Mononoke, which, while not a series, is a nice piece of work. Then there's the Slayers. (Slayers, Slayers Next, Slayers Try) Very comedic at times, but with a serious plot underlying the madness. Do not get Slayers: the Motion Picture or anything featuring Naga...

At our FLGS Well, at the Game Parlor store in Woodbridge (where I work) we don't have anything quite so impressive as leather couches and an audio-visual system, but we do have a nice gaming space. :-) Imagine, if you will, twenty wooden library tables arranged in a 5x4 grid, each with four...
