The US has been paying for it's 'squash all fires no matter what' mentality, it's like our government forgot that fires are a part of nature. Sigh, we'll probably see more of this.

Left-handedness is so effective in the real world I even trained myself for it. It is, ultimately not 'better', however, and people will learn to deal with it, so D&D just leaving it may be best.

In the case of Transhuman Space, anyway, it recomends the following books: GURPS Basic, GURPS Compendium I, and GURPS Bio-tech. I think this has more do do with the additional advantages that would let you design more human varients. It also recomends Compendium II (useful for running...

The publisher gets ~40% of MSRP from the distribitor. Distributor gets ~55% of MSRP from retailer, you pay the MSRP. When talking about outlets like Target or Sears, they pay closer to 50%, whereas gaming stores pay closer to 60%. As for the size of print runs, I only heard that Shadowrun was...

Re: Re: Transhuman Space I can't really judge your story, seems a little silly in my opinion, magic is rarely a simple subject... But, for that, I will now order another half-dozen GURPS books, just because they're cool, and just because someone else is boycotting them because they couldn't...

Pros: Very creative, lots of good ideas, great for pulling a few things out for nearly any d20 campaign. Cons: Some stuff is a bit overpowered, obviously, and some stuff is pretty specific to Theah. The focus on Swashbuckling ups the power of melee combat all around - some feats are not...

The hardback's been out for a bit, it's a pretty nice self-contained book. Since GURPS can be pretty mind-boggling to start with, GURPS Lite is a Good Thing (tm). There are other books that can be used to supplement Transhuman: Space, but it's more like: GURPS: Space is to Transhuman Space as...

Have to be white clothing with gold or white-gold (platinum) trim.

Bah, I keep screwing that up...

Deep ones have scales, not tenticles.

Kraedin, why are you so insistent on making it all one feat? Going florentine is frigging -HARD- and I find it nice that it takes so many feats to do properly. It's also completely broken for someone with three or more limbs, regardless. I mean, in real life, in any sense, you first havve...

Re: Re: women gamers Hey, you're perfect the way you are. :-p

My favorite is the map scale - 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. --- On a more serious note, I was really, really impressed with AEG's Otasan Uchi supplement. You really did feel like you were reading about a city, and that it was a city...

A human reduced to an insect's size would probably still be more than a match for any one insect. The strongest of them can lift 100 times their own body weight, at that level that would corrospond to an average human. Regardless, at half the height, they still have only a quarter of their...

It is pretty amazing to look at the excavated foundation of the World Trade Center site... and realize that the foundation of those go evenn deeper than that. Some buildings (especially historical ones) have been / are getting reinforced with titanium, which when exposed to air gets a...

Heh, and here I am making two-weapon fighting a prerequisite for three-weapon fighting, and that a prereq for 'multiweapon' fighting...

Probably level 3, reduce the duration to 10 minutes/level.

You are missing the base speed of 40 feet. Can see the cat-girl barbarians already...

Some RPGs throw out character advancement (HOL, Kobolds Ate my Baby, Toon - well, without the expansions) or make the concept practically useless (Cyberpunk 2020). All RPGs have some form of challenge resolution that I've seen, but sometimes it has nothing to do with numbers, and is just...

Huh? How? It would be silly to make something normally cost feats, although having an artificer PRC being the only one with the magecraft skills as class skills may be an interesting idea. I have trouble with the 'pay twice' nature of metamagic and item creation, which is why I made them...
