I have not played the CRPG (or strategy game, as the case may be) but I am favorably impressed by the books (which I borrow from, as appropriate).

As others have mentioned, the equites were the Roman equivalent of knights. Some titles you might consider for a Roman "knight" are Cataphractus and/or Eques Equo Publico (IMC, I feel free to mix Republican and Imperial terms--this is a game, not a history class).

I don't know why mind flayers are considered cool. To me, they are goofy and incongruous with D&D.

Amen! Preach it BG, preach it!

They maintain libraries, help with public works projects or support the legions with their magic. In any event, they are strictly regulated. An interesting take on things. A good recommendation. He was wrong about the Kelts, though. Also, if you have a romanesque world, you need a...

It depends. The people and events most important to me are featured in one form or another. Well, my dwarves are pretty standard (although their favored class is artificer and they have the traits of FR gold dwarves). My "high" elves live in an extra-dimensional land of sunshine and peace...

That is a good question. Monstrous humanoids as foederati is an interesting concept that I am willing to entertain. No, as there is no explicit Christ figure that would allow for a debate concerning the relationship between his divine and human natures. Besides which, my real life...

Fusangite: I started a thread here.

Fusangite kindly suggested I start a thread on my world, so that is what I am doing here. I have a deep and abiding interest in the 4th century Roman Empire, which serves as the historical milieu of my game (see the link in my signature). The approach I take with my pseudo-Roman world is...

My maidenly modesty almost forfends my mentioning it, but my humble world (a work in progress) is based on Late Antiquity (specifically, the 4th century CE)

Funny, but the DM has since lost some of his players and replaced them with people on his waiting list (glad I got to see this before it gets removed :)).

Hong?

You must have had a good defense lawyer then.

If you consented to be videotaped during your gaming session, you could be as cool and famous as these people

The probability that the character with the +10 bonus wins is .7. This is easy to see if you start to write out all the possible outcomes in this (discrete) probability space. If you write the numbers 6 to 25 on the top of your paper and 11 to 30 on the left hand side you will see that there are...

I hope you have another bedroom for when I come to visit.

I think all the Complete books should be compiled into one large book named Complete Waste of Paper

No. FR is supposed to be a parallel earth that has had contact with our earth. Also, fantasy cannot be completely ahistorical or it would be nonsensical (i.e., we have no point of reference if it is not at least nominally grounded in real world history). To you, perhaps. To you, perhaps. I...

Mithras was Indo-Iranian, not Babylonian.

Thank you, fellow Kelt!
