Well, in my campaign there was this ancient empire, see, which conquered nearly the whole world, see, and after it collapsed about 800 years ago everyone kept speaking the same language. Except that this empire was Rome, the language was Latin, and by the time you've crossed the Mediterranean...

Being a low-paid yet international freelance artist hath its privileges. Also, knowing how to program a VCR and buying 4 videos to tape stuff on (over and over - hasn't hurt yet) helps. You think I watch half the stuff on my list live? My location field is a little odd, I'll grant it. I'm in...

Fridays, 1630, TV3 (not this week because of tennis or golf or something I emphatically don't follow). It's been going a few months now, so if you only go in now you may need a catch-up. Email me sometime.

I voted Vader (every campaign needs a dark bruiser), Sauron (the looming deific figure that's seemingly impossible to defeat), and Other, because there are forces at work in my campaign that aren't as simple as Big Bad Guys. The march of science and hundred-year-old eugenic theory are as close...

If it's worth watching, it's worth watching all of. That's my philosophy. So right now, my timetable (New Zealand television) reads: Alias Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the new one, darker and bushido-er) Stargate SG-1 Samurai Jack Digimon (the superlative Season 3 has made me a fan for life...

Sigh. It'd have to involve someone paying me at this time; I'm not making enough money as it is. I'd love to do her (it?), but don't have the time to do the subject matter justice, or even miscairrage of justice. (Did I design a room? I don't remember that. I offered my previous marilith, but...

It seems the majority is in favour of Lion first. I've always wondered, though, what would happen if someone were exposed to a property intrachronologically rather than extrachronologically (mostly involving Star Wars, but in this case another out-of-sequence tale). If you want to be...

Ah, hypergeometry. Things the human mind was never meant to imagine, etc etc. That doesn't stop it being fun, of course. (I like that tesseract app.) One fun thing I like doing is 'looking' at 3d objects from a 4d perspective. Now, think about that for a moment. Look at a 1d line. Can any part...

Haven't got it yet (as a contributing author for 2 whole monsters, I theoretically get 2 copies), but noticed when I flipped through in the shop that one of them had been drawn with wings when it had no fly speed (the Mosaic Custodian). It can still cast Fly at will, but that's not the point...

As an actual artist, I'll be sure to take special note of the demihuman pigmentation notes presented here... Meanwhile, in my homebrew setting (which is Medieval Europe with magic), I've taken a slightly different tack on race. Humans are a tropical and subtropical race, ranging from black to...

Hm. Maybe... I hadn't heard of it, but then, my social life these days involves posting on forums. It'd be good to get out of the house for a bit. Where might this con be? (And other details to taste, of course.)

Ah, the joys of 'it seems right' magic. Teleporting attacks... rockfalls... it seems logical, but the end result is unbalanced. When I was designing a homebrew magic system, I ran across similar things (the Lycanthrope Incident, I call it) - long story short, I decided then and there to make a...

Some of us can't PM, so I'll just post here. I've done penguins before (for Son Of A Portable Hole, should still be free on RPGNow), and you can see my body of work at http://dungeondamage.keenspace.com - surf around the archives, I've done a fair chunk of stuff. Email me if it looks promising.

Good will spend ten years painstakingly building a farm, getting merchants to buy its stock, eking out a living from the land. Evil will pick up a rock, brain Good, and take its stuff. Then, of course, Good's half-dozen big burly neighbours of the MacGood clan will come along and beat Evil to...

Now let's ask the question: Why is their budget $135M? How might one go about increasing it? Perhaps through the success of other sides of the business? Are they allowed to do that? Reality is not a zero sum equation. It sounds to me like SFC has a few nice big wooden blocks and a lot of little...

Let's see... EpIII will probably look awesome, and may have a decent story. Indy is an unknown quantity to me, but will probably be... rousing. Bats has the potential to be real nifty, and the potential to suck... insert crude Joel Schumacher era joke here. Kong is being made by a man with...

Random thoughts: Economically speaking, what's wrong with the Red Dwarf model? Get some good writers. Maybe get an exterior shot of a spaceship. Set most of the show in the same bunkroom. Run eight seasons. SF is supposed to be the literature of ideas. Cheap-to-film ideas would be good, if...

I've always been partial to the Eastern method of scroll casting: slap a scroll onto the air in front of you, like a wall, and generate magic effects from/through that. When done, scroll rolls up and shoots back into your sleeve. Why? Because it looks cool. Other neat effects include holding up...

Yeah, it's a lot cleaner and big-eyed than some of my more recent stuff. If I had the time I'd do another, but I don't right now. This other stuff looks great, though.

That's because it's linked in an odd way. Try http://dungeondamage.keenspace.com/d/20031130.html - that's the page the image was originally posted on. I'll update the first link too.
