This sounds delightfully Kirby-esque, for some reason. I'm in, if you'll have me. (Email sent.)

Double post. I fool.

There's always 'Microxenobiological Reserve Rangers, section 14' as a totally innocuous title...

My condolences - my mother passed on when I was younger, and my father's had heart problems in recent years, so I have a good idea of what a lot of people here have gone through. And it sucks. A lot, and for a long time. But in the end, you're sad because you had joy and have it no longer. Try...

I shall discuss the Skyrust-Nocturne-Twilight series herein. Why did you design new rules? Because I knew there was more than one system out there, I knew they had different feels, and I wanted one that felt more like mine. As time wore on, the design process morphed into a desire to create...

OK, there are a few things that more or less have to be true for these races to be a part of our world, from a vaguely scientific point of view. Less niche overlap. Humans are very, very good at taking things that they have any possible use for. Humanoids are probably pretty good at it too. So...

Well, as the druid-player of our current group (when I can make it to the game), I don't seem to have a problem. Admittedly, I inherited the character from another player who had to drop out. But Autumn Sky (as she is called) is a fairly vital part of the group - although most of her role seems...

Depends. How powerful is the ethereal without a robot? Could it possess a statue and walk it about? If so, then the robot doesn't need a power source. Could it throw lightning, or is generally energetic? It can probably wire into the power grid of the robot, depending on the robot's size, the...

Interestingly, this is a situation that can be ameliorated by my Literal Hit Point Theory. This theory states, essentially, that hit point gain is a real increase in physical toughness, due to positive energy saturation picked up from fooling around with healing spells and the like over an...

Dungeon Damage: High adventure in medieval Europe... but not your Europe. While history is the same, prehistory isn't quite the same, and various ethnic groups have been outright replaced with demihumans. Magic and technology are synonomous, which means magic sucks right now. But the future will...

'Perfect' is such a strong word, and to me implies something involving multiple terms starting with 'omni'. If I discussed that, it'd get weird fast. So I'll go for a 'pretty good' woman. Intellect is the big one. Someone who can stand me, and wants to be around me, and who I can stand and be...

Dead is, indeed, my kind of evil. But not a very intense evil; nobody acts out of pure malicious intent, there's always some good involved. In this case, Dead is acting out of love for something else, normally a noble goal. Dead's good-axis is just a few degrees off center; this vector would be...

Going back a ways: Apparently my habit of nesting parentheses (such as I'm demonstrating here in a fashion that doesn't break the host sentence but nevertheless breaks the reader's attention) and going in internal tangents is confusing. Mea culpea. I'm actually saying: Combining a modern...

Not any D&D world I'm familiar with. If they let me go into the Twilight (my homebrew system's homebrew setting that I haven't finished yet), however... that I could live with, if they sent me to Brightsea or Skie (because I can get to Brightsea from Skie easily, and the skie would be...

Something to consider about my Johnny Playstation argument: Is it necessary to produce a dumbed-down product for JP? Perhaps I should have suggested the name Norton Vidia instead, as MMOs are primarily a PC phenomenon. Anyway, either for JP or NV, there are things that Simon Tabletop just...

If you want to step out of officialdom for a moment, I've got an old page (not updated since way before 3.5e) that mentions another type of demon: the ri'ava. These creatures aren't a single progressive race like the tanar'ri. They're more of a collection of different types that are nevertheless...

Tsk. I'm too late to recommend Psionics Ascendant (my group uses it rather exclusively), but I can recommend the teaser (the demo link from the PsiAsc page on RPGNow is wrong). It costs nothing and gives you an idea of what you're passing up...

Why push Eberron? I'm beginning to see people coming up with a good reason: Because Eberron was built to work, and to use everything. Unlike the Realms, Eberron is supposed to be consistent. Unlike Greyhawk, its consistency demands the inclusion of up-to-the-minute minutae of the 3e ruleset...

To me, McMahon is an actor who can do regret very well - that's just the vibe I get off him (mostly from wandering through the room while my sisters watched Charmed). And Doom has plenty to regret. I'm willing to bet he can make people scared of him, too. Scared in the self-referential Caesar...

I have sent an email. But I'll be busy for another couple of weeks, so if anyone wants to swoop in front of me that's OK...
