3.5? But I voted 4. I would be a slightly different person without it. It's still just a game in the sense that I don't worry much about it.

My computer's fan. It's pretty loud. :confused: Incidentally, could someone point me to a few good metal internet radio stations? I use to listen to netscape radio, but they play a bit too much grind for my tastes.

I don't hate Van Helsing. I was in England at the time, and the initial scenes made me feel good, 'cause the cardinal's Italian accent is worse than mine. :cool:

Glad you liked it. We spent 3000 years making it that way. :cool:

Aye. In my experience, the warlock is not overpowered at all. On the surface, the idea of casting spells at will and shooting (lev/2)d6 damage per round as a touch attack can seem impressive. But when you go and try it, it isn't that great. When you cast at will, you discover that the number of...

Well, I am the best person on Earth after all. And if I were First Minister, things would get better quickly. :p

I dunno, I've never seen any significant difference. Admittedly, I don't game much outside of my circle, though.

A lot of this can actually apply to Europe in general. You could substitute French for Italian in the posts above, and most of them would still be correct. They don't contradict my experiences in other continental European countries, as well.

Heh. The funny bit is that I don't really like GURPS much - but in this case it would fit great. You'd need a fantasy game that's as far from D&D as possible, mechanically, to really drive the point that "the rules are different here". GURPS is perfect. D&D combat in comparison to GURPS combat...

"What, you're telling me that I can dodge magic missiles?" Brilliant. Here's two more nifty ideas from the rpg.net thread: "NPC" suggests using two different systems for the dungeon and the real world - respectively, D&D and GURPS. That's perfect for the concept IMO. It greatly emphasizes the...

Clerics can only fight better than fighters once or maybe twice per day, and they still lose one or two rounds getting there. I've got a barbarian/cleric with the Strength domain IMC, and by using buffs, rage, and the Strength domain ability he can deal absurd damage ... once. In games with one...

Thanks. ^_^

Be mindful that the Factol's Manifesto was written by a Harmonium opposer IC. For what we know, their system may actually be working rather well on Ortho. Maybe the bit about chaotic races disappearing is outright false, or maybe it is a misrepresentation. If you wanted to make the original...

Huh. I didn't even know that a trailer #1 was out. Anyone has a link to that?

I'm going to chime in just to notice that IMO Planescape: Torment is every bit as good as BG2 for character interaction and then some. :cool:

At the very least, it would screw up teleporting (which, by the RAW, can be influenced by areas of strong natural energies and I think that hard radiation qualifies).

Glad you liked it. We spent three thousand years making it that good. :cool: About cars; I don't know about the rest of Europe or the world, but in Italy minor accidents such as bumps and scratches are generally not reported since it's more advanteageous for both to settle informally rather...

Erratas are mistakes that shouldn't have been there, so I think that new printings are a good occasion to insert erratas. However, I think that a couple sheets of paper listing what was changed (page and line numbers would be sufficient) should be inserted in the book.

Whoa. I'm a fan of the series and I had a half-idea of picking up the RPG, but after seeing this I think I'll pass. Teh epic is spread far too liberally here. Even assuming that the magic system is not comparable to standard D&D, the relative levels are ... weird. One-Eye barely better than...

Yes, 'cause it's never been a problem. In fact, I've been meditating for a while the idea of playing a RttToEE game where every time you take a hit or fail a save, you have to take a swig, and every time you die you have to drain the glass. It should be fun!
