Re: Must fill this space I quite agree. In addition, I call your attention to the original definition of "paladin": any of the 12 peers of Charlemagne's court. A helpful resource for this would be the collected _Bullfinch's Mythology_, (legends of Charlemagne section, naturally; I got mine...

Thank you, I shall. Here it is for people who might also be curious: http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=currentprod&which=dend8

Curtis, Congratulations, Good Luck, and ya might want to wait for her to start talking before trying to game with her around - unless you want to risk her first sentence being "I waste it with my crossbow" I have seen a number of cases where it is unfortunate that there are no other requirements.

Thank you for the specific responses, and especially the number breakdown. I like the idea of the size comparison chart (and remember it from CoC). How are the monsters distributed by CR? (i.e., how many levels will my campaign have to progress before I can make full use out of the little...

While it may be possible to speculate on that response, it's really all we're going to get. After all, it's a small industry. Consider, altenatively, the case illustrated in another thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49862

Speaking of the greatest monster book ever, I have high hopes for Atlas Games' Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary from what they have put on their web site. The biggest hurdle I see new critter books as having to overcome has to do with "what slots are ledt to fill?" Does any campaign need 37 new...

Reread your own posts. Most of the people you use this same tactic against are *not* ones who ever used it against you. I would agree with "Far be it that those that feel an approach offensive use exactly the same approach themselves." The post I am responding to right here is "full of these...

My sense of the general reaction has been "Calling someone a 'deviant' instead of dicussing a disagreement civily is wrong. Calling someone an 'extreme' 'Bible belter' instead of dicussing a disagreement civily is wrong. Holding the position that someone is free to use the methods that they...

Much of what you have responded to as "condemning, condensending, insultive and derogatory" has been anyone disagreeing with your position or your definition of "censorship". You seem to be advocating the position that if someone in a thread displeases you, then you have proper justification...

I'm not sure what your logic is here. I find the use of the term deviant, in this context, to be antagonistic and unhelpful. I criticize simply dismissing one side as deviant, instead of addressing the numerous faults I find in what we know now from the press release and author posts. I am...

Consider how some of your own posts on another "spew" an atmosphere of hostility. Are you trying to force your opinions on others? When you describe Heavy Metal as a "tale" and Weis & Hickman material as "poorly-written" are you trying to force people not to read Weis & Hickman? It does not...

Aaah ... The way that I look upon that is a a way of WotC to conclusively demonstrate that this is not a WotC shadow project, as AV is a very promenent employee of Wizards. It would take someone advocating that WotC start going after people who did *not* work for them to make me think that they...

I have not actually seen this position advocated, though there are a lot of threads. Harry

Force? Skipping the parts that I feel were well answered by KDLadage and Harlock, I don't feel that I have a moral obligation to spend money preferentially at a store that glorifies or concentrates attention on something I find offensive just so some people (*not* including, as far as I am...

This seems to be saying that free speech is allowed as long as you don't actually *act* on any of your convictions, in any way. Speaking for myself, yes, I will preferentially shop at stores that do not sell offensive material, or make it difficult to access. Material that overlaps a...

First, if this reply looks godawful, it is because I made a mistake in my reasoning about how to intersperse my comments with a quote. Hopefully, it looks okay. The use of language on this thread has been - I feel- very sloppy, resulting in postings that can be read as extreme, as I read the...

To recognize that this exists is one thing. To hold that an individual has the freedom to engage in activity than a respondant finds repellent or reprehensible is an additional and separate item. I - and *all* of the posts I have read that treat what we can reason about the product and its...

Other Other At some point, Tracy may comment to his mailing list some more eloquent version of "yuk. wotta perv.", with, perhaps, some more in depth discussion of the eternal question of how something gets called "mature" when really there's no actual maturity required. At which point...
