It is a fantasy series by Ursula K. LeGuin, made into a movie by Sci Fi channel. The setting is a vast archipeligo where magic performed through the use of truenames.

But a heckava lot more accessible, currently. Anyway, I run a 4e and a modified Basic D&D game.

I am rather surprised that the Dark Border series by Paul Edwin Zimmer hasn't been optioned as a setting. I remember hearing some rumor a long time ago that someone was writing a GURPS sourcebook, but it never came about. Come to think of it, I heard it before Paul died; his death could have...

NOOOOooooo!! My beloved githyanki, tossed aside... *sigh* I guess I'll have to write my own. Drat.

Squares seem particularly iconic and potent, which is numerologicly appropriate.

Charged Items. It really bugs me that those were dropped in 4e's power scheme. I got a lot of mileage out of handing out charged items in my AD&D game. I really liked the inventiveness a charged item with several functions encouraged.

Yes, definatly. Where did the idea come from? Dunegon Geomorphs set, Encounter and Treasure tables, Skull Mountain in the Holmes Blue Book, &c. There are a number of examples of and aids to make megadunegons in the early products but it wasn't a necessity in order to play.

Check out Labarynth Lord. It goes all the way to elev.., er, twenty.

Lawful: The needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the Few or the One. Society over Self Chaotic: Once I can take care of myself, I can take care of others. Self over Society. - or - Lawful: Zoroastran Neutral: Taoist Chaotic: Objectivist This lets people have different alignments yet...

It was the Conan RPG, I think.

Can you directly tweak a data file? I'm not much of a programmer, but I seem to remember that can be an option in other cases. It is possible under the GSL to make a PC Gen-like program? Or would you have to do an OGL-backdoor?

Mechanics-wise, I would like Channel Divinity feats for the greater gods. Also, a scheme for the Scarlet Brotherhood since they were filled with rogue, assassin and monks. Since they were humans they also had a lot of dual classing going on. That can probably be done with multiclassing, however...

Unveiled Masters - A Guide to the Mind Flayers by Paradigm Press. Good luck finding it, but it was a great supplement. It was a 3e supplement that complemented the 2e Illithiad well.

Gene Wolfe is a tough read. I've found that you have to be in the right frame of mind. When I started reading Severain's story with focus rather than as a light read I could get into the story better. You also need a good dictionary. Being able to have the different beasties in mind, and knowing...

Bacause: I would like some of the mechanics updated to 4e. My copies of the original Gazetteer are long gone. I never bought the boxed set in the first place. I would really like to have a codified collection of Greyhawk lore in one or two easy to read books. I would rather buy a shiny new...

I've only been there once, but I enjoyed AnonyCon.

The Schenectady Wargamers Association meets monthy at a local community center. Council of Five Nations XXXII will be hosted there October 9-11. It used to be one of the premier gaming conventions in the northeast in the 80's and is being built back up by one of my peers who moved back a few...

I ran an AE game that allowed the rogue as well. Class-wise: Witches are great as a concept but didn't really come together for us. Their witchery powers didn't come often enough and were not usable enough for it to compete with the other magical classes. We decided that witchery powers had to...

It never came to anything, but a SW game that I was planning assumed that Luke falls to the dark side and then he and Vader kill the Emperor. They then "rule the galaxy, as father and son." Since they actually can trust another a bit more than the usual Sith master-apprentice relationship their...

I didn't get that impression. The assassin class will have PHB + Splat -level support through DDI, but I don't think that all of the shadow classes will be DDI exclusive. There is a lot of buzz about the quantity of previews from PHB 3 that we will get from DDI, and I think that we will get some...
