Art is good. I'm quite impressed with the flavour in all the little snippets they're putting out. Yes, about a thousand years after gunpowder was invented. We're used to progress today, but for almost all of human history it was not the norm. I see no reason not to simply assume that nobody...

I illustrated parts of the book, so I got my hands on it as soon as it was done (comp copies, yay). I wrote up a review of it on my webcomic forums. It's my first proper review beyond 'this is cool', so comments are welcome. (I'm fully aware that my connection may prejudice proceedings, but I...

If my sources are to be believed (I've never seen it), just about everything. They did have the Punisher logo in there, though; and if you have a good freeze-frame, you can see it for half a second on the hilt of a knife as someone gets stabbed. Perhaps someone wanted a more visually faithful...

Not necessarily. Is it malleable? Is it ductile? Does it possess the temperature characteristics that make iron possible to forge? What sort of alloys can you make from it (steel etc)? Does the fuel expenditure while smelting for pig iron give you better efficiancy than regular iron? What about...

I'm in New Zealand. When playing D&D, I don't use standard international units, I use the supplied Imperials instead (it's just easier to go without conversion, it's all abstract really). Anywhere else, I'll be using standard metric. Which means I'm going to go back through Twilight and change...

Economic mitigating factor: Rust monsters. As soon as the market gets saturated, these little fellows go on a feeding frenzy and their population doubles. Supply mitigating factor: Where does all that iron come from, anyway? Thin air? E=mc^2, people. The energy required could vaporise a large...

I've got a scifi universe I'd like to game in (no, LOVE to game in - I'd like to take some complete newbies and expose them to my vision of the 51st century and see what they do), and a game system I need to playtest. I'd also like to get into Mutants And Masterminds sometime, and see how some...

I think Produce Flame allows multiple attacks, but it's a druid spell. For some reason. I've been considering the idea of spells that don't vanish when cast for a while now. Instead, they have a vastly inferior effect for their level, and require successive Concentration checks to keep...

If nothing else, this thread has provided a number of cool-sounding names for areas. Scrolling through the list and ignoring ones from literature I find: Sindaire Tennas Generica Antagonia Meland Vaguenburg Any more generic names out there?

Cybertalus mentioned the un-interchangability of magical notation between wizards. That's a big thing. If spellbooks are indeed nonmagical, the only thing stopping anyone from printing 'em off is the fact that nobody could use them. They'd have to do some serious research to understand each...

Looks... tropical. I don't know why. Something about the long semirandom coastlines. But cool.

What do the gods think? Are their opinions divided? How recently have raise magics been available? Etc. Law may not be the only authority here...

Urbis' creator might have something to say on the matter; if you're familiar with the setting, it might be possible. In any case, there's something to be said for the march of technology (in terms of 'techniques commonly employed'). It's not a physical law that scrolls take XP to make, just as...

Limited resources. Our cattle are vital for keeping the populace of my capitol fed. They must drink water to grow big and strong. The only waterhole is just over the border with Antagonia, where they have the same food limitation. Now, logically, I'm a good baron, and I don't want my people to...

I like the idea of reverse dungeons - either when Evil Party are the ones who have to staff them (in which case a 'dungeon' could easily be your house), or when the dungeon itself is a site of Good. The immediate example was a temple filled with valuable relics, and guarded by paladins and so...

People who read my webcomic will be familiar with the Brooding Loner in the form of Lorenzo, although he doesn't really brood; he just takes pleasure in scaring people with his spooky cloak. Later on, things get angstier... but with good reason. That's about it, really. We may come close to...

I'd be willing to try if you'd be willing to pay. Sorry if that sounds mercenary. I've got some designs for an interstellar merchantman somewhere, but (a) they're NASA-esque and (b) I've got to leave this place for a couple of hours. I might post something when I get back.

Dungeon Damage 12th-century Europe... but not yours. Whole ethnicities have been fantasised (elves sacked Rome), there's magic in the air, and history stands on the cusp of events that will change everything... The Twilight Imagine a hyperdimensional Dyson Sphere built out of an entire sun. The...

First: Let people know you need help. If you can't motivate yourself to see a counsellor, for Heaven's sake tell someone anyway - people are nice. People will help you, maybe phone a counsellor's office and give you a lift there. Human civilisation is all about helping others; we're hardwired to...

The details of the city look interesting. More Arkham than Art Deco, if they're going to go that way with the whole city. And if they do make Gotham more... gothic, it can only be a good thing, right? And I confess, technology is something I think Batman could do more with. He's not just Spooky...
