    Weapons Locker info

    I actually said the same stable, meaning the same company, which is FN... So in that sense they are related. Are you sure about a 7.62 version of the M-249, from what I recall, they designed the M-249 independently from the MAG because of the different cartridges instead of just scaling down...

    Weapons Locker info

    The M240 is the US designation for the FN MAG, known as the GPMG (I know that's a generic term) in the british army. IIRC the designation was L7. It is a 7.62 NATO weapon, and came out about the same time as the M60... Just the US was too stubborn at the time to use a weapon not designed in the...

    starting a gaming group

    The opposite of this of course is when you have a group full of people who aren't that bad at communications, and they 'dump stat' their charisma and neglect their social skills, then start talking 'eloquently'. I find this annoying, because I know I want to play a social character, so I...

    The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

    D20 modern, because this is the one class based system where you can come up with a concept first and still find a way to express that in stats without a lot of extraneous abilities that are counter to the concept. Now if only they had done similar with the advanced and prestige classes...

    Tell me what's so good about life

    There are a lot of broken hurting people here, including the one behind this keyboard... What I have to add as paraphrased roughly from Matthew 28. ...And I will be with you always to the end of the age... There's more to this life, and somebody who is always watching out for you, even if you...

    Have you played D&D in a foreign language?

    As a bit of a side note to this, how bad are the translations to other languages?

    I agree, and more specifically about this particular book if anybody has it yet... Can anybody tell us details that have yet to come out elsewhere?

    Mongoose New License

    well, it sounds like it's been in the works before the decipher debacle. also, there are other clue, such as it having been in one 'old book' and ther ehaving been comics and movies of it in the past IIRC... also, it has to have the potential for big battles... and I would guess relatively...

    That old WotC survey of gaming habits...

    well, I deifnately didn't get surveyed, and my games have mroe players but last much shorter. I would guess that the average campaign length here is much greater, because there are a lot mroe hardcore gamers here. As for number of players, well that also seems off, but maybe hardcore gamers...

    Size of Gaming Industry???

    My interpretation of 100 000 copies in 2002 was that, in the year 2002, it was mentioned that 100 000 copies had been sold at that point in time. So 100 000 up to then, but I might be wrong, especially with what MEG Hal said...

    Size of Gaming Industry???

    another peripheral, but interesting to me question is how many people out there mostly pay their bills by writing for RPGs... that would also reflect the size of the market... but 500 mill D&D PHBs is impressive...

    Mongoose New License

    Apparently it's less than 24 hours from being 'spilled'. I assume it's going to be the ENworld Chat... or at least pretty much simultaneous... anyway, speculation?

    Drugs, Wealth score, and a new campaign

    well, keeping track of money is fine, because the wealth system really assumes the presence of financial institutions and the like. So if they're running out of the law, and don't have bank aco:):):):)s, etc, then actual money should be fine...
