just looking at it I'd say it's an Inuit word... and it's sort of like kayak at the end... so I'll go with polar bear :D

Why? The pacemaker and insulin implant I understand... the transplant and the drug I don't. In and of themselves they don't rely on anything that wasn't around in 1870 - just more understanding. The new heart that you have is still just a heart. It beats in the same way, it isn't held in...

I knew there was something I was forgetting, and that peace in an area around the Holy Land of three different major religions would never work. This would definitely be a good place to come down for a very different WWII. However the historical perspective could be very different. Without a...

the effects of WWI Read an interesting article about the impact of a relatively small change in WWI. The premise was that Britain didn't join in - the reason given was political differences in the cabinet but you can use anything you want. Anyway the impact... Before Britain joining WWI the...

Evil can be done just as easily through action or inaction. Failing to prevent an evil deed (while maybe not as evil as actually doing it) is certainly still evil - particularly when viewed through the eyes of a paladin. They have to fight evil at every step, otherwise they are not Good they...

While I agree with what you are saying polytheism can do this. And before I'm accused of going off-topic one of the fantasy conventions I've hated for years is the polytheistic system... so I went away came up with a sytem of gods and realised it was polytheistic... then I realised the thing I...

As long as you make it a percentage of their remaining lifespan rather than a set number of years it should work. So it ages half-orcs 6 months, humans a year, elves a decade etc. (just examples... not worked out properly). And yes this is what makes becoming a lich attractive - I always...

Joining the chorus For the classic example of an unattractive physical specimen who was also very unpleasant in a major way but who had the charisma to fascinate people with repulsive ideas and to attract an entire nation to his cause - Hitler. OK maybe not an entire nation but enough that he...

Experimentation I'd say that the XP payment could be dropped if the wizard took longer over the process and also incorporated an element of surgical experimentation. If just trying to pull something together quickly then the XP penalty, but if this is the result of a long frankenstinian style...

Have I missed something.... where does he sleep/relax after a hard day in the laboratory.... even bugbear sorcerers with delusions of divinity like to sit in front of a fire with a good book every now and then The Hoard Edit - ok yes I missed something :o

Then your a lucky guy, but not everyone is able to say the same thing. I know for certain that thanks to the martial arts I've done I now carry myself in a different way. OK I haven't been in a real fight since, but that's a good thing - maybe I no longer 'look' like a target. I...

Definite must see on Meet the Feebles - think of it as the behind the camera look at the muppets and what they get up to when they're off-stage. Absolute classic. Also on the comedy side Hercules Returns - three aussies doing an ad hoc dubbing over of the classic italian film when it turns up...

Rel - just the sort of thing I'm looking for... with only three players two of who despise the need to get involved in drawn out comabt in order to get better at things (how exactly does a bard become more socially adept by swinging a sword?) this is really useful. I've been giving out...

I'm not going to wade in on the arguements here but in my experience of both western and eastern weapons/martial arts the only truly effective double weapons have not involved blades or spikes of any sort. OK the long double spear can work, but it's really just a sharpened quarterstaff. The...

Thoughts on a wedding day morning Krysteel stared at the grey-haired woman before her, looking hard at the blue eyes and rather plain face. No, nothing different there. It seemed odd that nothing seemed to have changed in the past two weeks. Given how much else had gone on, surely something...

Playing yourself I've played me twice... first was WOD Vampire (pre-reboot). It worked alright there because there's no real change in the world (except of course Vampires do exist), the system is easier to go with (you have a 1 or 2 in most things unless you can convince the GM otherwise)...

Live your own life! ForceUser - don't be convinced by anything anyone say "Is going to happen" I went through something like what you've been through... but she actually left me. We lived separately for about 2 months, she did her own thing, I sat in Limbo, waiting to hear from her. I did...

On the whales issue - they hunt by echolocation so Sperm Whales hunting in the depths of the ocean isn't really a problem cause they ain't looking they're listening.... doesn't mean a lot on the kraken front, but I'd have preferred WotC to have given the kraken echolocation... there's a real...

I'm with Patryn I like the idea of the darkvision he's described, and it's how I've always viewed it. OK you can see black and white things, and in fact grey ones as well, but those bits of information have absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual colour of the object being seen. They're to...

Different Elves I've modified my elves significantly to make them fit better into the sylvan environment they are from. They don't have cities yet and their towns are all quite small. They actually build their homes by pleaching trees together so that they grow into a single mass. This means...
