As opposed to Heaven, where the cooks are Italian, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and it's all run by the Swiss? ;) I dunno - I like heavy food so maybe heaven is where the cooks are German, the police are French (variant of the "communist russia" joke...

To put the above in perspective, I decided to crank off the numbers for a city of 250 million (the approximate US population). Per capita gp on hand? A mere 13.8 gp. Total cash on hand? 3.4 billion gp. Single item limit? 340 million gp. Total chickens? 17.2 billion. (Consequences: under...

Oddly enough, it came about because I was working on figuring out how to determine salary demands for fictional basketball players in a sim league I was working in... I discovered that using (log n)/(log 4) keeps things from "blowing up" too quickly (to borrow a term I got from my math teachers...

The following link might be of interest: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=377430#post377430 FWIW, I agree that the rules are very broken. I proposed an alternative set of economic rules in The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art...

Not only that, those are the sides of a right triangle! :) --The Sigil

Yes. I remember MAG. My list (all mentioned already, but what the heck...) Master Tools HoHF: Gnomes Bard's Gate

I'm in (S.T. Cooley Publishing). Let me know when we get close to opening this puppy.

Good guess. :) Here's the little product blurby thing... As the blurb mentions, it's kind of a combo plate - a city sourcebook with an adventure thrown in... because it's an event-based adventure (i.e., relies on "things happening" rather than moving from room-to-room like a dungeon crawl)...

Hey everyone, it's that time again - GM's Day is March 4th and in honor of this, S.T. Cooley Publishing is having a sale. This year, we're having a "1d8-1" sale; each of our products corresponds to an amount you can obtain with a roll of the die. Here's what we've got for you this year...

Hey! That's my FLGS (I live about two miles away)! Haven't used them for long-distance shipping, but they're nice people, pretty knowledgeable, and one of the largest and longest-tenured FLGS's in the area. Most of their store is devoted to miniature-building (RPG stuff, while near the front...

Dang... ya beat me to the punch. Juiblex != Jubilex; since the D&D version has always been Juiblex, I believe Jubilex should be free and clear. But IANAL, TINLA. --The Sigil

Wrote a very long post, but here's the only part I think is worth injecting into the discussion at the moment: And that's why I deliberately avoided it, because you're drawing up a Strawman with it. You're mixing the "lawful/chaotic" axis with the "good/evil" axis here. Due process is on the...

I dunno, I just have two things that REALLY bug me... Level drain - I get "negative levels" (to reflect the temporary effects of gross internal wrenching) but permanent level drain is just... dumb (for reasons mentioned before). Solution? Best I've seen is using the wound points/vitality...

By the rules as written, yes, it is. And the standard isn't imaginary, it's enumerated in the alignment descriptions. Most of the standard transcends culture... with only one notable exception... We need to know this, but only because part of the objective standard states that the character...

But your definition of Lawful isn't relevant in this particular situation. The original post specifically limited discussion to the rules as written (the SRD) - therefore, for the purposes of this discussion, if the SRD contradicts your definition, you are wrong. ;) This is handwaving to...

From the first post... Visiting a brothel - chaotic (hedonistic, not respectful of tradition), evil (prostitution does not respect human dignity) Prayer - good (active devotion to good) Associating with Madam Catherine - violation of a paladin's code (associating with one who is engaged in...

*shameless plug* I have a whole chapter on that in The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art It has rules for masterwork stuff, weapon and armor enhancements, "flavor" enhancements (like tinting your armor blue or mixing silver and iron to make a "marbleized" blade - or even making a...

How can the problem be that people are getting caught up in the Lawful Good concept? Part of the paladin's code of conduct is that he must be Lawful Good! The question then becomes, "is prostitution a Lawful or Good practice" (not, "is prostitution a lawful or a good practice") because Lawful...

If he spends his day doing nothing but frying ants and tearing the wings off of flies... yeah, he probably is evil. He's clearly fixated on and enjoys the pain and suffering. Now, if he does it every now and again, with other episodes of protecting his little sister or feeding the dog because...
