    Farewell to thee D&D

    I also remember the sheer amount of Usenet rage surrounding the change from AD&D2E to D&D 3E. I've had an awful amount of Deja Vu this year...

    Farewell to thee D&D

    Give it time. It will die down - it always does. Anyone remember the 3.5 edition wars?

    Farewell to thee D&D

    In theory, my body could spontaneously jump to the right by one yard via quantum mechanical teleportation, but that's not exactly very likely, either. Meanwhile, I have no trouble with believing that a dragon has a nasty cold if he has problems using his breath weapon during a fight. It all...

    Farewell to thee D&D

    I've posted my thoughts on this issue here. I will refer to that post at future occasions, which I predict will happen with some regularity.

    Forgotten Realms Player's Guide - Table of Contents?

    Out of curiosity, has the Table of Contents for the 4E Forgotten Realms Player's Guide been published yet? I'd really like to get a good overview of what is in the book, and in what order.

    The Arcana Wiki - Distilling Real World information into gaming material

    Well, it's hard to say which user came from which link, but every bit of publicity does help. ;)

    The Arcana Wiki - Distilling Real World information into gaming material

    I've added a Random Page function to the Wiki. I always loved that function about the Wikipedia when I needed some inspiration, and I hope it can do the same here. Besides, it serves as a useful demonstration just how much the wiki has grown...

    Random Pages

    I've installed a new Random Page function into the wiki. Play around with it a bit to get an idea of the scope of the wiki!

    Wanted: "Latest post" column for personal groups

    I think it would be a good idea if a "Latest Post" column was added to the social groups one is a member of on the EN Groups page. This feature already exists for the "Available Groups" table, but it's much less useful there, especially if the list of groups gets longer. It would be helpful to...

    Need Help with Describing Types of Terrain

    That would be helpful, thanks!

    Need Help with Describing Types of Terrain

    Looks good, though I've deleted the hill giant reference since those are D&Disms and I want to keep the wiki system-neutral. I've also moved the halfling reference to the "Game and Story Use" section since the Basic Information section is supposed to contain factual information only. By all...

    M&M for Fantasy

    Presumably, it will have lots more fantastic powers and characters which deviate strongly from the human norm.

    No magic fantasy game

    How about GURPS? It not only does no-magic campaigns very well, but also has a vast range of other advantages that the characters can put their experience points in...

    Need Help with Describing Types of Terrain

    I'm currently trying to expand the list of terrain types in the Arcana Wiki. So far, I have entries for deserts and swamps, and even those are relatively short - so I'd appreciate it if others are willing to help me out with the rest. Basically, each entry should contain a "Basic Information"...

    [Ideas] Graves found from Sahara's Green Period

    Well, I've added it to the Arcana Wiki...

    Lets talk about Architecture!

    Hmmm... How about matching historical architectural styles to specific fantasy races? That could help a lot with providing appropriate visual aids... Not that I know much about the history of architecture, but this might be worth thinking about.

    Apocalyptic Settings and Breaking Settings

    That's just because of bad GMing, instead of something inherently deficient in the setting. Take Exalted (which I am running right now): First Age: A golden utopia where almost everyone gets all the basic necessities of life - even if some of the 300 demigods ruling over the world are slowly...

    Good Games for the Wii?

    This would be difficult because I (a) live in the middle of a mid-size city with no interrupted trails nearby and (b) I'm sufficiently overweight (BMI 39) that lots of jogging would probably damage my joints in the long run. For exercising my legs, I go walking and swimming. It's exercising my...

    Good Games for the Wii?

    I'll probably buy a Wii in the near future - mainly for the fitness aspect (I do go walking and swimming a lot, but my crazy work schedule doesn't permit me to regularly go to a fitness studio even if there was one nearby). So I was wondering what kinds of games for the Wii others here would...
