    Elves, why so long to mature?

    I'm not saying the theory is correct, I'm saying it's interesting. Also, old maids and nuns aren't exactly renowned for their fecundity or for passing on their genes; as such any benefits they reap from putting off reproduction aren't going to be passed on. Darthjaye: This assumes you subscribe...

    Elves, why so long to mature?

    This is interesting and sort of goes with what I have below. This might also explain why elves and humans might interbreed, despite things like vastly different cultures and lifespans, social stigma, and the fact that a lot of elves might view humans as being beneath them. On the one hand;Elves...

    Cowboy Bebop

    Cowboy Bebop is an excellent anime series. The movie was good too. Obviously the best soundtrack for a Cowboy Bebop type campaign would be the many Cowboy Bebop CDs. The show had an eclectic mix of everything from bebop to jazz to world music. The show's opening theme, Tank, makes for great...

    What Is a Good d20 Gun Book?

    Some people would probably stick me in the category of "WoTC fanboy", but I haven't heard very good things about D20 Weapons Locker. :( I canceled my preorder for it after reading some bad reviews; I figured it would be safer to get the book in my hands before I make a decision to buy it. I...

    Would you game through a nuclear war?

    You're kidding right? It would probably take at least a nuclear war to get my group back together. My friend Dave has moved to DC, so he can't play. His younger brother Daniel is busy practicing for a school play and about to graduate from high school along with the other two younger players...

    For those DMing d20 Modern: How different do your players act than in "normal" D&D?

    The most obvious difference; some of the players always seem to think they're obligated to affect a faux British accent when playing D&D. When they play D20 Modern, no bad "British" accents. Just once I'd like to see someone play a D&D character with a Texan accent or something and how the...

    Ability Score Generation

    I invented this one afternoon. I was playing around with different stat rolling methods on a lark and this is what it resulted in. Roll 4d6 7 times dropping the low die each time and dropping the lowest score. Always reroll 1s. You may reroll 2s, if two or more of them are rolled. You may...

    OT: Buy A Castle, Become a Baron

    Yeah, but I still have my dreams. Maybe I could earn the money by killing the local orc hordes or something. Or would that be a case of dangerously confusing fantasy for reality? Judge: Mr. Lewis, the "orcs" you killed were, in fact, a bus full of senior citizens on a tour of the Scottish...

    OT: Buy A Castle, Become a Baron

    eBay auction for Scottish "Lee Castle" Along with the castle you get the title of Baron or Baroness. You also get the right to register a family tartan, motto and coat of arms. Not too shabby if you have the cash. :D Baron Peter of Lee loved the place so much that when he died in 2002, he had...

    Interesting. I have a pretty bad headache so right now interesting is about all I can manage. Thanks for the info.

    [TOUCHY SUBJECT] Why all the hate for min-maxing?

    As a DM I feel that there is nothing wrong with min-maxing as long as... The choices they make for their feats, skills, etc. make reasonable sense. They take part in the roleplaying. They don't purposely try to outshine the other (non-min-maxed) characters or make them look bad. They take part...

    Giant Crabs Invade Norway!

    The important thing is that we don't panic. There are rules for situations like this. Now, the first order of business is lunch. I suggest a nice lobster Zoidberg. I mean, err... lobster Newberg. I mean... Doctor Zoidberg.

    Good d20M one-shots

    OK. I have incriminating pictures of you. Post an adventure and no one has to see them.

    Good d20M one-shots

    I will NOT be called a threadkiller. :\ You'd better reply Charlie Brown, or I'll slug you!

    Good d20M one-shots

    Well, Wizards has a free adventure called Trouble at Blackrock that I love. Unfortunately it sort of falls into the FX and kill monsters categories. What I like about it is that it's very easy to alter the adventure into pretty much whatever you want. I haven't run it yet, but I made it so that...

    tattoos, spikes, punk, and goth in D&D images?

    You big silly, that's just an all around bad picture. :D I have no idea what the artist was thinking when they were drawing that, but they may have been at a cosplay event... EDIT: evildm duncov.jpg, love it. Love the brush strokes. I think background just takes up space where text should...

    tattoos, spikes, punk, and goth in D&D images?

    More oversized weapons I couldn't agree more. You wouldn't ever catch me touching another man's meat. I don't like Baxa's work... At all. Just ain't my bag. Wayne England, after badly marring at least two FR books, should be restricted to inanimate objects. Seeing Sam Wood's excellent dwarf...

    D20 Future: excuse me while I drool

    I like the cover, I hope the interior art is just as good (better!). Some of the FR books have been slipping in this regard lately. :mad:
