    Locations in the Abyss

    Heh, I suspected so. But it is worth the time to check out the entire page. The Abyssal Campaign (link in my sig) has a lot of locations I invented, and lots of additional details on preexisting ones.

    One System To Rule Them All!

    Something else: d20 modern. But the only other system that I've played, among those mentioned, is GURPS. From what I've heard of Hero and Fudge, I wouldn't like them, but I could be wrong. I haven't even heard about the others.

    Deck of Many Things Experiences

    Here's for a campaign idea - low-level characters are presented with a DoMT (that the DM has stacked). Lots of horrible things happen. The characters' relatives and friends (or enemies!), aka the real PCs, vow to undo them.

    What is the minimum level would you play if you were never to gain xp again?

    Yes, yes, the usual way, a few years, fiends.

    Armageddon is upon us! (Not really)

    The guy got two years of forced labor - for traffic violations? What did he do, leave an oil tanker in a no parking area? Or is this one of the bits where I'm missing something and traffic violations is like contraband?

    Feh to Math

    Math isn't harder or easier, or more boring or more interesting, than most other topics. It's got hard parts and easy parts, boring parts and interesting parts. But what doesn't? I think that Psionicist is right, but I also think that math requires a certain forma mentis, a mental shape, that...

    Does one attack roll = one attack?

    I reason that one attack is one attack. That is, one swing dealt with the intent to hurt. The combat round, however, may involve many more swings that are dealt with the intent of feinting, displacing the opponent's weapon or shield, etcetera, not to mention parries. Attacks of opportunity make...

    What is the minimum level would you play if you were never to gain xp again?

    Eleven. High enough to be able to take on truly dangerous opponents, but not high enough that you can kill those opponents without strategy or planning. Heroic, but not superheroic.

    So what's your plot so far?

    Planescape campaign: the PCs, hired to recover an artefact, find themselves on the Abyss, and erroneusly targeted with an epic spell that prevents them from leaving the plane by any means. See my signature for more details. Warcraft campaign: the five remaining vials of Illidan, lost for...

    Musiclovers beware! [UPDATED!]

    Notice that the "fix" simply makes the files visible. It doesn't remove the program. And clean removal is hard enough that most users would be forced to reinstall Windows; even the usual "boot in safe mode and delete the offending files" will simply break the OS. Me, I don't buy music CDs...

    Kits vs Prestige Classes

    What kits did is best replicated with feats IMO.

    World of Warcraft, What????

    Guild Wars is supposed to be supported by regular expansions which you'll have to pay for, though. They say that getting the expansions won't be compulsory, but chances are that most regular players will get all of them anyway. Additionally, all of the combat in GW takes place in instances...

    Please, tell me about your custom cosmology.

    Currently, I play Planescape, but you already know about that. And Warcraft, another published one. But there's a cosmology idea which I've been thinking about for a while; it works like this. Every time a sentient dies, its soul (barring undeath conditions) leaves the Prime Material and forms...

    Looking for a lightweight SRD

    They work pretty good. I've just removed the background for increased readability on my phone. I need a dice roller now, but I'll try to do that myself, for learning. :)

    Betamax all over again

    Great. I guess I'll have to buy tuner cards from another country, or learn to mod them. But this is really getting sick.

    What is REALLY best in life?

    No, wait. It's :):):):) their houses, set fire to their horses, and ride off on their women. ...or was it :):):):) their horses, set fire to their women, and ride off on their houses? Uhm. :confused:

    UK/Euro Millions Lottery - Scam?

    Is it a scam? Well, let's just say that if you set your email client to automatically trash anything containing the string "you won", you won't go wrong. ;)

    better gaming through chemistry

    Damn. Reading the title, I thought this thread would advise me on what kind of drugs I should use to enjoy gaming more.

    Smart vs. Intelligence and Combatless Roleplaying Sessions

    I hate puzzles - but not because of them being boring, or because they are OOC challenges. Well, maybe a bit because of that, but the main reason is another. I hate puzzles because, 90% of times, they simply don't make sense. They have no IC reason to be there. Their only purpose is to serve as...
