    Survivor: Cook Islands

    While this would certainly be interesting, and is possible, it opens up a lot of problems. One biggy is complaints about the editing. It is one thing for contestants on Big Brother and other such shows to know that they are playing to a television audience for votes. It is different for CBS to...

    d20 B.C.

    Didn't the Dungeoncraft articles, or something similar, in Dragon do a series using a prehistoric campaign as an example? This would have been 3 or 4 years ago.

    Circvs down?

    Tricky, romanesque spelling gets em every time. http://www.circvsmaximvs.com/ Any word on why it is currently down?

    Survivor: Cook Islands

    I'm enjoying this season too, and agree with much of what you have to say. One other suprise for this season is the expanded jury, and what it means for the endgame. Without some other surprise, there will be 10 on the jury when it gets to the final 2, which is unlikely because it could lead to...

    Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

    I guess it is officially time to admit that the Falcons suck. Can't believe the announcers bitching about the show of emotion from the players and coach. It is about time somebody acted like the care whether any of their first-round-draft-choice receivers can catch a pass. I was glad to see...

    New FFG Sale

    I bought most of the books that interested me last year when they had the $5 sale. Now I'm interested in the games, especially for my kids ages 4, 6 and 8. Anyone know which of the board are card games are good for kids? They look like they would make great stocking stuffers. The ones...

    Text and the Toddler

    I don't have any data to back this up, but from my experience and 8-year-old is usually reading short novels, that today are referred to as "chapter books". I guess the name comes from this being the child's first exposure to a book broken into chapters. My oldest is 8 now, so I can't speak to...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    The forum is called Gamers Seeking Gamers: http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?f=49 I understand about online gaming. It is no substitute for the real thing, but can be very fun in a different way.

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Jim, you should create a fake name and try to get into Hussar's OpenRPG game! But truthfully, online gaming is not bad, although I prefer tabletop. And have you tried the player locator forums here on EN World?

    What's wrong with splitting the party?

    While I certainly understand concerns about weakening the party by splitting, I don't understand the concerns about half the players being bored. Are we all so entertainment-focused that we can't go a few minutes without sensory input? The average American football player, at just about any...

    Amazon.com question...

    This happened to me a few weeks ago. I ordered Mutants & Masterminds 2e, which they listed as in stock. It took about a week to ship, and then about 3 days to arrive. Used to, I could order from Amazon using the free shipping and the item would ship within 48 hours. In fact, it was so fast that...

    Oz d20 - a world of Swashbuckling Adventure and High Weirdness

    Wow, very cool idea. If nothing else, this resurrected thread has reawakened my interest in Oz. Off to find some books to read.

    Do reviews matter?

    I rely heavily on reviews for my RPG purchases. For the first year or so of 3e, I was buying a lot on hype, and getting books they day they were released. Song & Silence cured me of that. Now I buy almost nothing until it has been out for months and I've seen reviews and/or read a good bit on...

    Halloween of the Stick!

    Nice work. Creature in the Darkness is fantastic! Nice work on all the costumes.

    A toast to Angelsboi

    Glad to see this thread. I've been away from the boards, enjoying my own birthday weekend. Ryan and I shared a birthday, and our time in Olgar's campaign overlapped. I guess I'll always think of him on my birthday now, but I prefer not to get all melancholy. Instead, I remember the good times...

    Happy Halloween! Too late for the freebie, but still wanted in on the fun!

    World Series history/observations

    I'd be happy with a 7-game division series. It makes no sense for the first round of the playoffs to be even more random than the later rounds.
