If you're a Creeley fan, you might try and find the CD single "The Hum is Coming From Her" by eccentric rockers Mercury Rev, which features Creeley reading his poem "So There." I dunno Aaron, "...a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas." sounds pretty DnD to me ;)...

I'd say Umbran's right on here, particularly if you double-clicked on the password to highlight it. This typically highlights the word and a single space following it.

After great personal struggle, I've quit halflings cold turkey. That's right, I kicked 'em like a bad hobbit.

Re: Rendin' and Regeneratin' I'll chime in with a defense of yr basic D&D troll, in all its nasty, brutish glory. Sure, it departs from folklore, but I've always loved the green-skinned, bushy-headed clods. In fact, I like 'em enough that maybe I'll work up a half-troll template in order to...

(contact) vs. The Blob Sir William the Oozemaster? who'da thunk it? (Just poking gentle fun, (contact). This little typo caught my eye when I read the compiled version of this tale, and I thought you might want to edit it.) Just as entertaining as the first time, by the way, and the...

Ashtal, if you haven't already, you must read Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. While it's not for the faint of heart, nor, in all likelihood, for Eric's Grandma, it's a very funny, very profane memoir of a lifetime NYC punk rocker and junkie chefs exploits in the restaurant business...

Phegg? Fegg? PegLeg? I considered Phegg, but ended up going with Fegg. Initially I thought I'd create a Tirapheg wizard as a jape, thinking that being unflankable and more difficult to grapple than your average mage would be handy. Then of course, I bought the ELH and concurrently got on a...

Unlurking again to ask some questions that popped into my head while I was playing with my cat this evening (Not coincidentally, as I suspect my cat to be a student of the esoteric and acrobatic school of Panther Chases String kung fu, though he isn't telling). As cheesy as Jean Claude Van...

I believe that it is a matter of style rather than a strict grammatical rule. As an editor, the important thing is to pick one of the two approaches and apply it consistently. Lest you suspect that I'm not going to hijack your thread with grammar/word usage pet peeves: "penultimate" is not...

Actually, I think it is the fantasy writing of Jack Vance that provides much of the inspiration for the "fire & forget" system that has so long been a part of D&D. I can't comment on his work -- perhaps someone more familiar with Vance could chime in? However, I can think of another fantasy...

But oh my, Hong, what a big sword you wield... Racka "this post is mightier than Hong's sword" Bello

Lannon, I'm sure you make some excellent points about the pragmatism of the martial training provided by the Armed Forces. Certainly, it is crucial for soldiers to learn highly effective and battle-tested martial skills. It's that training that makes them best at defending civilians like...

The Bleeding Stone -- yeeesh! Any chance we could see a bit of backstory on this nasty idea? Given the commune with Iuz ability, I'm guessing this is some foul creation of his, given the Int score and the unusally high Wis for an animated object.

Stone brilliant, Boz. Looks like I'll finally have to finish the Tirapheg Wizard I've been tinkering with using your conversion. Fegg started out humble, but things got a little out of hand after I bought the ELH....

That "Vile it up" bit disappointed me too, and I'm glad that Monte stuck to his guns. Based on WotC's other upcoming releases, I suspect that some folks there may have wished to push the envelope further with BoVD, to see what the core D&D crowd would bear. So far I don't see any evidence that...

Didn't he use the spell Wall of Marmots?

Once upon a time, a Vile Darkness fell across the happy forest...

Thanks for the reply, Celebrim. Personally I feel that Dragon's marketing of this issue was intended to rile folks up, spark debates and discussions, perhaps even scare them a bit, but not necessarily to appeal directly to a younger crowd. That said, I certainly can't argue with you about the...

Well, since you asked so nicely... Naah. You're right. Me in a birthday suit would probably necessitate a sealed section of the forums, plastered with warnings about my, er, content.
