    [OT, grammar and punctuation] Use of commas in US and British style?

    Is this thread still going on? Well, I didn't bother to read all of it, but what are your opinions on "an" coming before "h" words? For example: "He had an hernia." or "He had a hernia." Whenever I see "an" coming before an "h" word (like now) it seems odd in most cases (except in this...

    Harn Adventures

    I had found on the web a huge pdf of Harn adventure ideas, but I can't seem to locate it now. Does anyone know where the link could be? I think it was over 200 pages long and had some great stuff in it. Thanks.

    Sounds like a great idea! Good luck to you. :)

    Necropolis

    I've flipped through the book a few times and it looks pretty good to me. Necromancer Games does an excellent job at putting things together. If I'm not mistaken, what they did was take what Gary Gygax wrote years ago in the Lejendary Adventures format and edited and re-formatted it for 3rd...

    Common Commomers

    This brings me to asking everyone what they think about NPC levels. How do you determine if an NPC is a level 1 Commoner or a level 6 Commoner? If he's a farmer and he's been farming for over 20 years, shouldn't he be really high level? Or do you think it depends on how many hit points you...

    I messed up cutting the sealed section in Dungeon again!

    LOL! Actually, I found the sealed section pretty tame compared to what Monte Cook wrote in one of the outside articles. It was all pretty disappointing, in my opinion. But that's ME!

    Medieval Cities and Libraries

    Very interesting fact there! Thanks for all the great info, people! I knew there would be a lot of resourceful and knowledgeable folks here! I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what would be a good name for a library in my campaign city. But all this information really helped a lot!

    Medieval Cities and Libraries

    Was that "The Great Library"? Hmmm, so, I still don't know what the naming conventions are for libraries. I guess you don't really need to put one in a medieval city, but if you are going to... I'm assuming it would have to be named after a big donor or have a generic name like "City...

    [OT, grammar and punctuation] Use of commas in US and British style?

    I don't think you should be too concerned about achieving that level of grammer or punctuation in a d20 product. Have you seen some of the writing in these books??? As long as there are not too many misspellings or grammatical errors, it's not really a big deal. Regardless, I'm not sure if...

    Medieval Cities and Libraries

    The only thing I've found is this: Bodleian Library (colloq. Bodley) the library of Oxford University. The first library was founded in the 14th century and benefited from the manuscript collections donated by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester (1391 - 1447). It was refounded by the Diplomat and...

    Medieval Cities and Libraries

    Anyone know where I can find a genuine medieval city map that is highly detailed. For example, what would be a good name for a library in 1000 AD? Did they even have libraries back then? If so, I'm sure they were reserved for clergymen and nobility only. I know "Life in a Medieval City" by...

    OT: This is a funny comic strip...

    Obviously done by someone who's familiar with the game... http://somethingpositive.net/sp12272001.html

    D&D Advertising & D&D Lite

    It would make sense now that Hasbro owns WOTC to release a boardgame like "Dungeon!", don't you think?

    D&D 4E What do you want in 4E, defense and DR or straight AC?

    I'd like WOTC to come out with a book of alternative rules on this, so people who want to play more detailed combat can and those who don't don't have to. I'd be interested in what they come up with.

    Which back issues of Dungeon Magazine to buy?

    LOL, thanks! Dark Psion, you're awesome! But basically you've recommended issues nine through 77! Well, I guess what you're telling me is to pick the ones I would be interested in. Btw, can you tell me at which issue they start converting to 3e? Thanks again! :)

    [Poll] The Dungeon/Polyhedral Issue

    Now with D20 Modern, Spycraft, etc, why don't they put all of that together for a separate Polyhedron Magazine? I'd like Dragon and Dungeon to alternate the months and keep the genre separate from all that other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I think some of this other stuff is great. I just...

    Which back issues of Dungeon Magazine to buy?

    I'm looking to buy some back issues of Dungeon Magazine, but I'm not sure which ones to get. I want to buy a bulk of them (probably on eBay), maybe 15-20 or so, that are full of good adventures. I'm looking for "traditional" or Greyhawk-type adventures as I'm not a fan of the Forgotten Realms...

    D&D Pantheon Help Needed

    And yes, I know that different kinds of beings can worship the same deity. And no, I'm not looking for Forgotten Realms deities. Thanks.

    D&D Pantheon Help Needed

    I know that Deities & Demigods (1e and 3e) and Demi-human Deities (2e) have much of the D&D pantheon, but probably not all of it. Although I had hoped that the latest version of Deities & Demigods would provide an easy-to-use, one-stop source for at least all of the D&D pantheon, that didn't...

    Is WOTC/Hasbro mismanaging D&D?

    I am in no way making a comparison to four years ago or 2nd edition. You're making a lot of assumptions about who is voting, the way they're voting, and how they're voting. It looks like you've completely misunderstood what I am saying. Anyhow, I know that a lot of people are voting "yes"...
