    (OT, sorry) For those of us in The South...

    I lived in Chattanooga for a long time, and so I have seen these stores on many trips north to Knoxville and west to Florence (AL). Still, annoying though they can be, it was worth it for one particular billboard -- partially fallen down -- advertising "ORKS AHEAD!" Harry

    Why no FR-style campaign books for the World of Greyhawk

    I must contest this, as Carl Sargent's work in the 90' refurbishment of Greyhawk was first rate. Harry

    [OT] What is the most "wasted" money spent on a gaming item.

    I don't know if this constitutes a waste of money - have you seen what MERP products are going for on eBay? If I may address anothers' comment (or I could just pump up my post count) those meteoric dice looked so cool - and also such of waste of material that could be studied. Both of those...

    Re: Re: Meta-Buying As individual tastes may vary, I hesitate to explicitely name the companies invovled, although it seems that posters have made successful deductions regarding two of the companies, and the thrid has been the subject of many long, and forcibly closed, threads on this...

    4.0 D&D: Not too far away? Thoughts and opinions

    Nah, for them to go to a new edition would require something like a major overhaul of the rules. So, until we see someone at Wizards posting about how they think something major, like multiclassed spellcasting, was broken and couldn't be fized with what we had, I figure we're safe! H

    Meta-Buying

    Indirectly, this topic has come up quite a lot, but I was wondering about the following situation. Suppose that, in your opinion at least, the owner/chairman/high muckety-muck of a game company kept making public statements about games, gaming, life, etc., that were so totally assine and...

    Where is your FLGS? Is it near an interstate?

    I sure hope there is; I used to walk there when I did my undergraduate work at Villanova. Still, I recall a small parking lot on a fairly narrow road. Back on track: CORPUS CHRISTI, TX Armchair Commanders, in Corpus Christi TX, is very close to a major road. Take I-37 into Corpus Christi...

    Re: Re: Re: A Valiant Effort to Move This On-Topic Smeg. Before this, I was able to say that I didn't know any rules for dealing with monkey poop. Well, I could have said d20 rules for monkey poop, at any rate.

    Re: A Valiant Effort to Move This On-Topic In my world, the powers were kept from the world as it developed naturally, so I can use evolutionary explanations. This means that Humanity is the only "evolved" race on my world, the other showing up when the "gods" got involved. Oh, those pesky...

    ? I can state that one rock formation shows a different age than another based upon the tested and established principles that the dating method rests upon. Please see the link below, which provides an excellent explantion of radiometric dating. http://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html...

    I don't feel that this is a religious debate, primarily because I am not speaking of ontological naturalism the belief system(and I do not think that I should speak of ontological naturalism as a philosophical system, as I do not hold to it myself) , but the methodological naturalism of the lab...

    You may, of course, hold any number of personal opinions, and the two statements above are only statements of personal opinion. I would suggest that you examine the questions from a chemical/biological standpoint, and avoid the flawed "information theory" approach to analysing evolution (links...

    I suppose looking at this in terms of the monkeys should make DM's grateful that they're only flinging dice.

    "Design" is poorly defined; in fact, here it has been left undefined, to mean what the user of the moment wants it to mean. What is design? To choose to compose (say) *Hamlet*, or to generate a set of characters that replicates the play *Hamlet*? In both discussions, "design" is not defined...

    Derived vs. Ancestral, yes; some species are more dissimilar from their ancestral species of X years ago than other species, but I wanted to clarify a common misunderstanding than evolution is a progressing chain of development, a "what's right?" instead of a "what's right now?". I do not think...

    I would like to state explicitely that my reference to William Dembski, and the rebuttal to his claims, was included in my response to Mr. Dyal not because he, himself, brought it up, but as someone else had, I wished to address that as well.
