The discussion of "fish" as vegetarian reminds me of my insane* sister-in-law who, although a vegetarian for what I can only determine are personal reasons rather than moral/health/relgious ones, loves sushi of all kinds. It is, as she once told us, because "sushi has no rules." I am fairly...

I have loved playing a Battle Sorcerer from Unearthed Arcana (also available here) - the perfect combo of spellcasting and melee combat. Go human for the extra feat. If you have Complete Mage the suggestions for the Blaster or Warrior archytpes are overall good for this variant, but the...

We just got a Chipotle not far from out house. Its great. The manager said current plans were to open one more near the University of Alabama and thats it for the state. We also have Chicago style pizza at a place called Tortuga's. Its authentic, the owner used to runa pizza place in Chicago...

My wife hates buffets. She grew up in a house where if the food was not screamingly hot soemthing it was unacceptable. We hardly ever go to one. Especially no asian ones.

So, are schools in Wales different still? Or is it only because of Scotland's specific govermental situation that the education system is so different?

When it comes to anything the question is: "Will I get my money out of it before its no long useful?" There were serveral 3.5 books I haven't gotten that I was planning on but now I am not so sure. The upcoming book of villains, on the other hand, and maybe the recent MM will likely see...

Yeah, I like Vietnamese but there aren't many places around here that serve it. Typically when you find it its a small column of choices on a Chinese menu. I also have to make sure its udon - during the time I lived in Kiev, Ukraine I discovered that about 30-45 mins after eating buckweat I...

It seems my wife and I get into a habits when it comes to places to eat. For a few months we will go somewhere several times a month, and then skip it for a while. Some of our new favorties include: Korean BBQ- a new experaince for us, and as far as I know the only one in the area. Good but...

Thanks. I just always find it facinating to compare cultures that one would think have more similarities than they do. For example, your inclusion of "Religon" as something everyone studies while in the US it is illegal to teach Religion in a goverment funded school at the primary or secondary...

Ummm, not really. Here, let me explain the US system and then maybe you can tell me how it compares to that. Education provided by the local goverment (typically city or county and subsidized by state and federal money), or in some cases private or faith based organizations (usually for a...

Well, one penalty is "If I do it now I can't do anything later" another is "If I make the wrong choices ahead of time I could over/under specialize and be less than effective." At least in some people's estimation. However, I also found the comment a bit odd.

While it suggests to me that 4e wont confirm crits anymore, it will be just x2 on a 20 and thats it. Where as the comments about the rogue just suggest that they will try to give the rogue the ability to do 'something' regarless of the situation and that the class will not be limited in combat...

For those of us who have little to no concept of how the UK system works, care to explain that?

OK, so 4e has blown everyone away. But what else is happening at GenCon. I just saw on Green Ronin's site that a Wild Cards RPG is in the works and that Paragons is availbale as PDF. Monte Cook's WoD came out from White Wolf. But is their any other news?

I suspect its just a named location of a dungeon/castle/ruin/other site. However, it may have longer term connections to Orcus, with the adventure being the first of a path that will lead PCs to a final confrontation with the big man himself.

And just where did you order these that you go such a good deal?

Monte Cook had an adventure for 1st level on his site at one point, it may be gone now. And given your screenname Particle_Man is it safe to assume you are a fan of Darkest of the Hillside Thickets? Those who preordered the book got a CD from them with Lovecraft themed songs that had in game...

Thats a generous estimate. I would put some zeros at the end of that. Besides, with all the talk of the DI/e-Dragon/e-Dungeon/Gleemax(terrible name BTW) +an announcement+web site down why do people not just make the logical assumption and believe it all has to do with web based content? Why...

Thank you. There are some things in that book that I would probablly do differently (its been a while since I looked at it) but I was quite pleased with myself about the craft units. Which, to explain a bit further, is the idea that it should takerealtivelly the same amount of time to make a...

When homebrewing I have realized that there is no reason to reinvint the wheel. If a published campaign setting has something I think fits I just steal it whole and work it out to fit. Might be inidivdual races, might be nations, cultures, or locations. What have you "stolen" from a published...
