I love this idea! The idea of reviving the old 2nd Ed campaign settings in one book is this: the old settings fractured the market too much. Only, like, 12 people want Mystara/Known World; another 12 want Dark Sun; 12 want Birthright; 12 want Al-Qadim; 12 want Maztica; 15 want Planescape...

I just finished a BA in English and Linguistics and I begin student teaching in a few weeks. I don't remember when the school year starts, and I haven't been able to contact my cooperating teacher, so I'll have to contact the district office soon. My mother just retired from the same school...

This is an awesome idea! I really like this idea, and since I'm planning on buying a laptop soon anyway, I now see why I need one: somebody's got to snatch up this idea for development. I doesn't seem like it would be too hard to script, but it would be really hard to pass up.

1 hour, 20 minutes each way. Thankfully, that will only be twice a week this semester. The other five days, I've only got a five minute drive.

Planescape. Full Support. Autonomy. Phillip K. Dick, H.P Lovecraft, and Cecil B. DeMille blended with Monte Cook, Zeb Cook, Ray Vallese, and Mike Mearls ala G.I*Joe's Serpentor to create a super RPG-designer dedicated to the task. Or just one Planescape Hardback campaign setting. Even just a...

I let players choose before they roll. For me, given the choice, I'll roll just the one die.

This sounds like fun, circumstances permitting. I guess I figured that one of the big perks to D&D was the shared experience.

I really like the flavor. Clearly, it draws on either the Vistani, or the same inspiration the Vistani draw on. Seems hard to tell the stories of Europe without the Romany.

Yeah, I'm definately with Hypersmurf on this one. The familiar can share the spell, but is still restricted to forms of ITS OWN creature type, though I might be lenient, depending on circumstances, and allow forms of the familiar's original, unaugmented type (e.g. animal).

Monk if it were offerred, but I voted Mage. I have no knowledge or experience with arcane magic/witchcraft, but I feel like I've got a good grasp on D&D thaumaturgy. More than that, though, I'm an academic. If I was going to study magic, I'd have to concentrate on true name research, magical...

My understanding of the spell has always been that when returning to a plane from which you previously plane-shifted, you return to the spot from wence you departed.

Granted, generally, there isn't a need to use sophisticated language, but then again, there isn't usually a need to use "language" at all. Pointing and grunting will accomplish more than people give it credit for. Unfortunately, it isn't always very pleasant, and it's rarely beautiful. English...

So sayeth the ooze, so sayeth we all. There are certainly some prestige classes that I would never allow, allow only under certain circumstances, or would modify extensively before allowing, but I can't see myself ever enforcing a hard, numerical limit.

"esker" & "mulct" were the ones on which I guessed incorrectly. I don't think that I was actually familiar with any of them, though, to be honest, but was only able to puzzle through the etymologies or eliminate funny answers for most.

Thanks again, demiurge. Another set of eyes is helpful, but an informed decision is much more so. Amadan, thank you, too. This is one of the few mediums of communication in which I sometimes feel somewhat insecure. It's easy to assume that when no one responds, they all hate your idea, which...

I grew up on Nutella, but for the longest time, I thought that nobody else had ever heard of it. We used to have to buy Nutella at the commissary because regular grocery stores didn't carry it. Then again, when my folks first came to the states, grocers didn't know what yoghurt was, but...

Strictly speaking, you aren't supposed to apply the lich template to constructs.

genius!

I don't go out of my way to use unusual words, by any means, but I do believe in trying to use whatever word is best suited to my purpose at the moment, and I do derive a particular pleasure when others use an infrequently heard word appropriately.

Thanks, demiurge. Clearly, math is not my forte. I dropped in improved inititative in place of spring attack as a sort of default everybody-can-use-a-better-initiative feat. Any suggestions for something more suitable?
