Conan skipped the monologue that night to allow for this whole piece to air. This was even better than the last Westminster Dog Show piece or two....

I just found a better old London map and replaced the modern one with it in my links. :)

[/b] Nope. It was the "boring" instructional kind with lectures and stuff. See section C5 (south of Oxford St, west of Drury Lane): http://www.fidnet.com/~dap1955/dickens/dickens_london_map.html It was a notorious slum/criminal district ("rookery") at one time, yes...

Could someone pass off a narwhale horn as that of a unicorn? Maybe it needs an Appraise check or something?

* sigh* I think I liked the Leaf farm team better. :( Plus they lost in the crappiest, lamest, most annoying way possible, getting trapped for 40 minutes.

Wow, I spoke too soon. I thought Game 1 was gonna be a write-off just like the first game against Ottawa, but now Toronto will come home with at least a split! Game 2 isn't till Sunday, some regulars are coming back soon, and Joseph is on his game again. But, Carolina can play a lot better than...

The term for obsession #10 is "coprophilia". If nothing else, aren't you really glad to learn this? :)

Not bad on the prediction QB! So are the Leafs really that good or did Ottawa choke again? I don't think there's much hope against the Canes though. Anyone else see Bettman in the 2nd intermession on HNIC? What a weasely little politician he is.

I passed on the first d20 version and haven't gotten a look at the new one yet, so: There was a thread a while back asking if SW classes were as powerful as D&D classes and the general answer was "no". With this new version, I read in that review that all the classes got beefed up. Are they on...

I narrowly chose this name over that of a Spanish cavalier, "Manuel of the Plains". :D

Did my signame just swing the pendulum the other way? :D How about the Last Emperor of China, all the anarchist assassination attempts on various political figures, the race to the South Pole for you "Mountains of Madness" fans, and for political intrigue, the age of imperialism leading to the...

Nurture! Even if you play right by the book, "Race" on the second column of PHB p. 94 leaves room to play with racial starting packages to reflect their upbringing and even provides an example of a dwarf that grew up around humans.

I'm not in a game now so in my spare time I'm building a homebrew campaign world with a few published worlds dropped in. I have Rokugan, Nyambe, and Freeport all plugged in (even though I don't have Freeport yet and Nyambe isn't going to be published for a little while) because those worlds...

Well, despite the Game 5 freebie, Ottawa is still being taken to 7 games by HALF a Leafs team with a shaky goalie. If Ottawa still wins I don't think they should be bragging much.

And medieval cathedrals took decades to build. Notre Dame took over a century: http://www.elore.com/Gothic/History/Overview/paris.htm Without magic, serious imperial resources or slaves, no one who began work on such ambitious projects would live to see them completed! (Unless you're a race...

Most sites, like this one, say 10 years: http://www.unicaen.fr/rome/anglais/thematique/colisee.html

Yeah, I was pretty mad about the ending to the Leafs game. This might be the second time in 10 years that a horrible non-call late in a crucial game destroys the chance to see a Leafs-Habs series. C'maaawwwwn! Stop cheating destiny durn it!

Could I ask a highly trivial question? Do you know which issue of Dragon roughly corresponds with the 1e Fiend Folio's release so I could get a feel for what was out right at that time? Ditto 1e MotP if possible.

I learned that Vlad looks a lot like the people who sing about him - the lead singers for death metal bands.

This thread belongs in house rules, but..... check out the Vitality Points / Wound Points (VP/WP) system used in the d20 incarnation of Star Wars. A D&D conversion of them is found in Asgard Issue 2 - http://www.d20reviews.com/asgard.htm
