Down with the dungeon crawl! *posts in support of fief-building* Why must all protagonist actions invariably be offensive? What is so horrrible about doing something defensive and/or constructive for once? And note that stronghold construction/management (somewhat akin to Crossroads Keep in...

Drow will be dark fey, sharing the relation that elves and eladrin have. That way, there'll be five kinds of playable fey. Three kinds. Sorry ;)

From what it reads to me (and they'd've done better to phrase it this way), is they scrapped the demonic Succubus, renamed the Brachina (the pleasure devil from FC:II) Succubus, and delayed the Erinyes for publishing in 4E MM2 as proper vengeance devil. Or, as I like to put it, in terms of...

On the temptresses: as much as I like the name Erinyes (greek origin, the Furies), the niche of the seductress fiend mythologically belongs to the Succubi (jewish origin, via Lilith) lock, stock and barrel. Edit: GSHamster beat me to it.

I mistakenly presumed the etymology of what turns out to properly be "Hear hear!" was tied more to a "Over here! Me too!", as opposed to the correct "Hear him!" (or "Hear ye!"). Still, as long as my point got across, the language thingy succeeded. Humble apologies ... English is only my third...

I'd guess that the Vancian (i.e. per day) part of a wizard's repertoire will become TRULY Vancian; namely, a upper-mid-level wizard would be able to prepare some 3-4 spells per day. This battery of bunker-busters would then be augmented by a load-out of maneuver-like spells, with encounter...

Argh ... Kids these days don't seem to know their classics anymore ... *Feels old at only 30* As a side note, ocular leukemia is not a laughing matter. Unlike moose. Or llamas. Or coconuts carried by swallows.

A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! She was Karving her initials øn the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The...

"Рассвет" & "Сумрак" ("Rassvet" & "Symrak", "Daybreak" & "Nightfall"), a pair of vicious broadblade shortswords used to great effect by a catfolk rogueish military commander. "翠玉爪" ("Suigyokutsume", "Emerald Claw"), a pair of bracelets that when commanded flow over and reinforce the user's...

Anticipating the abolition of attribute scores in favour of their modifiers in 4E, and considering the well-established position that odd attribute modifiers are not-done, I present an alternate and more flexible attribute modification scheme for the different age categories. The [-x..+y]...

San Diego State University has a dataset available for Google Earth here. I tried running through it myself (it has animated sequences & all apparently), but my work PC's graka (that's graphics card) isn't exactly up to snuff, I fear. Better luck to you ;)

O-kay, thought it was time to nail down the system some more. All of you who can't stand numbers / math / science, skip this post ;) Requirements: Total solar intensity experienced at Garden (and thus also the planet) equivalent to that which we experience on Earth. Orbit a multiple of 60...

Be sure to check out Helliconia. Also an example of a planet orbiting the dimmer of a pair of stars. In this case, the planet Helliconia orbits Batalix in 480 earth days, while Batalix orbits her bighter sister Freyr in 2500 earth years. The novels deal with how humanity (and the other alien...

So, 0.7 AU from Alpha Centauri B ... that varies the intensity of Alpha Centauri A between 4.6 and 7.3 magnitudes lower than the "sun", and the energy input when closest is some 1.2% higher then when furthest. I have no idea how bright street lights are (not on a scientific level, I mean), but...

Not just close, but over that, really ... Saturn's surface (if it had one) gravity is 0.914g. To build a solid-surface world with that size would necessitate something like Ringworld's scrith (except that scrith is written as having incredible resistance to tensile stress, while you need...
