    Are there any OGC spontaneous divine spellcasters?

    Nope. No shugenja in Complete Arcane as they are divine casters not arcane casters. Complete Divine maybe?

    America's Stonehenge???

    Early colonial farmers seldom bulit anything out of stone aside from the stone marker walls that still thread along long forgotten property lines. Not that I'm saying "it was the Celts" but it is certainly curious and doesn't follow construction patterns of any of the likely suspects (local...

    I live a few miles from there (in the same town). i've been there a couple of times over the years, it used to be called "Mystery Hill" and i like the old name more.

    "Ouch?!" - improved crit or +2 damage?

    if using a longsword a +2 to damage is better then improved ciritcal for average damage inflicted. . You are likely to inflict 131% of the damage with a +2 to damage compared to an improved critical. 50% chance to hit with improved critcal means 50% miss,40% of blows will be normal (average...

    We are all ugly and alone...

    Geeks and Nerds are two different breeds of cat. A lot of folks here should really know the difference. Nerds do nerdy things to amuse and enlighten themselves while geeks do things which are amusing to others but others would never do on purpose. Nerds know what all the Trek rank insignias...

    Dungeon Walls: Clay & Earth

    They'd certainly be realistic for something like the tunnels used by the V.C. in the vietnam war. Those went down three of four levels in spots and were earthen and natural clay walled. Room and tunnels would have to be shored up here and there with beams and supports so the stats for such...

    Favorite Pizza Topping

    Pepperoni or Sausage and Ricotta. And that is sliced sausage not crumbled sausage, i really am not thrilled when a pizza place does crumbled sausage. Never saw crumbled peperoni so why do tey try to pass off crumbled sausage? Sure I'lll still eat it but it is a lesser topping then. Scallops...

    +1 to hit or +1 damage?

    i'll take the +1 to damage. lets say you have a 50% chance to hit with a weapon that does 1d8 of damage; that mean you'd inflict a likely 4.5 (average roll on 1d8) * 0.5 (you chance to hit) for a likely average damage of 2.25 pts of damage. +1 to hit would mean 4.5 * 0.55 = 2.475 points of...

    Faux pas - putting your worst foot forward

    Sleeping over a girlfriends grandparents house I once got up in the middle of the night, couldn't find the bathroom light and being fearful of waking anyone I felt about in the dark, located the toilet and unknowingly urinated on the toilet lid.

    How Did Superman Do That?

    Well I think i know how he really got his job. He hypnotized folks with his supervision. Why do you think the disguise of a pair of glasses works so well? Why becaus ehe is sending up an illusionary hypnotic field all the time that say "I'm Clark Kent mild mannered reporter. I am not the...

    Well this was scary as hell

    Dogs like to chase things that run. I was chased by 3 dogs a few years ago until one got close enough behind me i ended up kicking it in the head as it was getting ready to bite the back of my calf (almost noticed that too late) at least it seemed that was whya he was goign for, that dog and...

    Neandertal's? 'dem dere's orcs!!!

    Maybe neither, while the hoax was exposed in 1953 books were still being published into the 70's that included piltdown man with no reference to the hoax.

    Neandertal's? 'dem dere's orcs!!!

    Yup. There was also an article in Dragon Magazine a long time ago that mapped several of the goblinoid/giant-type races to real world primitive near humans.

    Mesoamerican Campaign?

    Certianly but maize, squash and beans provide a whole lot of what pople need. I just posted that link as an indication that it is possible for folks to get at protien even without cattle and sheep. There was fishing as you point out, maybe aqua culture of sorts (put a city by or in a large lake...

    Time in the Old West

    No paved roads across Kansas in 1877. Most folks walk 3.5 miles an hour.

    Time in the Old West

    Get a map and measure the distances along the routes you figure folks will take. I'd figure about 3 weeks to walk across Kansas. Downtime doesn't have to take much longer then a few seconds of table time. There could easily be a whole lot of nothing going on worth RPing in an authentic...
