Gah, haven't look at the yahoo group in ages, it got flooded by spam. It looks like the last real post was in Sept of 2003. There are a large number of files in the 'file section' though. Ysgarran.

You have to deal with the price of college books for about 4 years. Gaming is a life long passion for me. I would love to buy the Babylon 5 series or the Conan series or the Scarred Lands series or...well you get the idea. Currently the only game books I'm buying are the select WotC books...

How long it takes to create a character, especially a high-level NPC is why I really like computer program aids that are available. I really wish that the various publishers would make it easier to expand the various programs (i.e. I would love to get an corresponding expansion to my computer...

Artesia Afield RPG is coming up with a lifepath system for their game. It isn't out yet but is should be soon. It is not an D20 system and the lifepath is geared toward the Artesia world. 'Hand of Evil' has a very good suggestion. I'll have to use it myself. Don't let them kill everyone...

Starting up a new campaign and I'm currently working on a background with one of the players for a 'Reborn' character (taken from 'The Book of the Righteous'). The campaign is going to use Eberron for much of the broad background ideas but the tone is going to be much darker than what is...

McFarlanes’S Dragons are out. http://www.spawn.com/toys/series.aspx?series=268 I'm strongly tempted by these. Has anyone else bought them yet? Any comments about the quality? The quality of past McFarlane figures I have varied from good to poor. The poor ones have problems like various...

I would definately lean towards the plastic, as others have mentioned, the durability of the WOTC plastic figures is a positve and the randomness/collectability a negative. The only way I would be tempted by metal figurines is if the price was not more than 20% of the plastic and the was...

Less money to spend on books... Ysgarran.

Yes, getting the following error: The requested application was not found on this server.

PCGen is probably creating a bunch of temporary objects in memory. Eventually the amount of memory being used by these temporary objects reaches a certain level and the Java Virtual Machine(VM), "ah, I've got start cleaning house". I would guess that the spikes you are seeing is when the VM is...

Might be old news but I thought this might of interest to a few people. "Skeleton Reveals Lost World Of 'Little People'" http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/10/041028144857.htm later, Ysgarran.

Just curious as to how the rules experts would parse this about the alter self spell: So if an elf did an 'alter self' on himself to be appear as a typical ('average') human would characters get a spot roll against it? My reading of the spell says no. Just curious if people agree or not...

Grazzt...someone who is at least tolerant of ActiveX/Microsoft...kind of makes sense to me. I think I have a new plot line for my Spycraft game. :)

Interesting, don't have a cleric in the party and it would give the Wizard alot more flexibility in spells..

Would these two feats from the Complete Divine allow a arcane caster convert their spells (subject to the restrictions in the feats) to heal spells? Thanks, Ysgarran.

Lets hear it for the preemptive rant. Gotta get in the first punch ya know. Ysgarran.

You can't take more than one ranged attack per round with spears? Are you making a distinction between shortspears and javelins? A shortspear can be thrown as a standard action, just like a Javelin. Quickdraw and Rapid Shot should apply equally to both weapons. Ysgarran.

As mentioned, deep icy waters is a good place to drop characters. Also a nice to place to hide. Some ice chutes could also douple for a handy place to drop characters and a quick get away if needed. If the dragon really wants to ground the characters, he would pick a fight where there might...
