Darth Sidious! "Now you pay the price for your lack of vision!" *Lightning* Oh, wait, we've already passed the point where Vader tossed Palpy down the generator shaft ... Ok, Vader will do then (even though he wasn't technically a villain by that time anymore...)

A minor correction You know what French fries and the Smurfs (Schtroumpfs) have in common? That everybody considers them French, while they're actually Belgian. And so is chocolate, while I'm at it! (well, good chocolate anyway, e.g. Côte d'Or, Callebaut, etc. ;)). Then again, we're already...

Argh, timing ... And another error on top of that ... can't I trust online screenplay transcripts then? Dammit! ;) Anyway, I stand by the rest of my case.

ANH: "I've outrun Imperial starships, not the local bulk-cruisers, mind you. I'm talking about the big Corellian ships now." - Han Solo "It looks like an Imperial cruiser. Our passengers must be hotter than I thought." - Han Solo TESB: "General, there's a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out...

I wasn't sure on TESB ... I should have chosen the more conservative statement of the term "Star Destroyer" not appearing in ANH. My Star Wars movie-fu was never as good as my knowledge of the Star Wars universe :cool:

Ah, where to start ... The Wookiee homeworld is Kashyyyk. The CWV (cool wheeled vehicles) was earlier rumoured to be called "turbo tank", but the incredible crosssection refers to it by its old (WEG) name, the Juggernaut (or, properly, the KDY (Kuat Drive Yards) HAVw A6 "Juggernaut"). The Ep...

Belgium, man ... Belgium, Belgium, Belgium!

What you're looking for: PostgreSQL 8.0. Nice feature set, good performance, ACID compliant, now runs on Windows as well as on its native Linux, and is, best of all, 100% free.

Maybe not in the code per se ... I've seen this kind of problem before ... the scripts are ignoring the parameters passed via the URL. With the whole upgrading thing, you may have reset an important setting to the default, or upgraded to a version of PHP which assumes a different default for...

Unearthed Arcana UA has 2.5 pages of hex diagrams (p128-131) that should answer your questions nicely. In short, the non-trivial conversions are: for creatures: large critters occupy 3 hexes, huge occupy 7, gargantuan 12, and colossal 19 for spell effects: cones are 60 degrees wide. For the...

Allow me to quote the relevant section, straight from the top-right-hand paragraph on p172 of the DMG3.5E: In other words: you only get to count LA for 2 purposes: to determine how much xp you need to reach the next level, and (as a DM tool) to determine how much wealth you should have to be...

Sw hm... Super-villains... I'll stick to my top-2, who actually don't work very well without eachother. #2: Lord Vader. The ruthlessness ("Asteroids do not concern me!"), the arrogance ("Pray I do not alter [the plan] any further..."), the stick-behind-the-door ("I hope so for your sake...

Never thought I'd actually do this, but: Bump. C'mon ... no-one out there interrested in getting rid of Vancian magic?

Neat system ... especially, since we're using something very similar for my sorcerer. Except: I don't get recharge points ... but work directly off hp. Casting a spell causes her (Spell Level * 2) + 1 points of "mental fatigue" as we call it. For all intents and purposes, this is treated as...
