    Excerpt, Manual of the Planes: Types of Planes

    Meh. The picture is nice, but... is it just my monitor or is the shadow under the Elemental Chaos quirky? I still don't like the Shadowfell or Feywild as "shadows" of the material plane. I think the old Ethereal "you can look into the real world" is better, and that both planes would have been...

    Designing a game "Ancient World"

    First - have fun, and good luck with having it published. Most of your changes are not in the direction that I personally like. That's fine - no game is for everyone, and you obviously should make the game you'd like to play. But if you could keep in mind that there are all sorts of players and...

    Everything is OGC... sorta... Forked Thread: Grand OGL Wiki (Updates)

    Good question. I think the idea, in this case, is to let people use it in the future. Material published as closed remains closed indefinitely. In this way, everyone can use the material freely, with the publisher's agreement, in a few years. This is especially important as lots of published...

    I'm surrounded by Canadians! (Israeli myself, but spent a year in Canada. You've got a beautiful, tranquil, country. And very polite people.)

    Maintain and Damage?

    Alright, so it seems the consensus is that 1. First round you cast it and hit, target takes damage or half damage on a miss 2. On target's turn, he does not get a save. 3. On your (second) turn, you may choose to maintain as a minor action, whether you hit or missed. If yo do, the target and...

    Commitment

    I've recently came across a picture of the following tattoo: This is the emblem of the Order of Hermes, the defining symbol of the Ars Magica game, that a devout fan of the game permanently etched on himself. That's commitment. The Ars Magica fan community is a small one. ENWorld is large...

    Oots 606

    Sorry, not impressed. I don't find the art amusing at all, and the single joke is just 'meh'. In the psat, it was just funnier. Lots of D&D jokes, piled together, clever dialogue... where art though?

    Oots 606

    Hmm. Could we perhaps stop with the moral philosophy debate and get on with the... humour? Can't see it much here, at all. :uhoh:

    Maintain and Damage?

    There is a power that, if hit, causes damage. It then says you can sustain as a Minor action, which causes x damage (save ends). What does this mean? Can you sustain if you didn't hit? Can you sustain on the same round you've hit? If you don't sustain that round, can you sustain the next round?

    Your Second Love

    Ars Magica. And I'm still in love, even more-so with its new dress (5th edition).

    So...How are Sales of 4E Product?

    The heat death of the universe would be caused by the second law of thermodynamics, as the universe achieves maximum entropy. The third law actually says that no system will reach zero temperature in finite time, which translates into delaying the ultimate heat death indefinitely - the third law...

    Expeditious Retreat Press d20 blowout sale

    Put a note on this on an Ars Magica forum; hopefully it would net you a few more sells :) I noticed that the PDFs are still at full price. Are there any plans to take them offline by year's end, or to modify them?

    Rome: Decline and Fall (Adventure Series)

    Very impressive. The level of detail and the accomodation of myth and D&Disms into history is just great. If I was not embroiled in another campaign right now, I'd pick up this one. Kudos.

    Coming Soon for 4E - Races of Fantasy: The Elohim

    Indeed. I don't know if you realize this, but Elohim is one of the holy names of god for many Jews, so sacred many don't speak it but instead say "Elokim" or something like that. I don't know what the GSL community standards are, but if things are anything like the d20STL (and I believe they...

    How Might D&D Religions Differ From Real Life Religions?

    I didn't like Eberron, but was very impressed with its take on religion. Still planning on getting its Faiths of Eberron book, sometime. I think the core 4e take on religion is pretty solid. It emphasizes that the worship is polytheistic, with only the clerics being servants of specific gods...
