Something hit the wing after take off. It could have been insulation (foam) or it could have been ice. The shuttle is traveling pretty fast at that point in time so there might have been more damage to the heat tiles than originally thought. Damage to those heat tiles or if the damage...

If I remember correctly, they are completely different. The Elric system was more akin to the original Runequest system (percentile rolls) while Pendragon bases many of its system mechanics on a roll of the twenty sided die. I doubt that we will ever see a d20 version of Pendragon though...

It seems at least at one level their marketing strategy worked. I wasn't even aware of the book until I saw this post. It is unlikely that I would have spotted this at my local hobby store considering all of the d20 stuff is stored book shelf style rather than covers facing outwards... Ysgarran.

I got into an argument with my wife. No big deal, things like this happen occasionally. The problem is that my wife's cats take this kind of thing personally. They just peed all over my monster manual and DM's guide. I'm never going to get the stink out.... I just know they are being...

Re: Re: Who "Owns" Old PC's? No! Not Black Leaf! I'm not going to die!

You know, it has never been an issue for me. When a character leaves a campaign we talk about what to do with the PC. The PC has a pretty large number of options, a heroic end, becoming a hermit, continuing on as an active NPC under DM control. I do what the player wants for closure for the...

Regarding skill points: It just always seemed to me that wizards should have the easiest time with various knowledge skills but often I see wizards doing things like spending their skill points on things like jump and tumble. Why? Because those skills have a direct effect in combat and can...

If Arc X stands for 'Arcane Archer' this won't work. You need at least a 6 BAB to qualify for Arcane Archer. It seems to me Arcane Archer is the most valuable in a low magic campaign. Then the value of the arrows begins to add up. later, Brian F.

I'm hoping that sometime later today as more people get back from the Con we will actually hear something from someone who attended that session about the upcoming changes. There is always a chance that a mistake was made in translation. I just went to play Living Greyhawk games myself. The...

I just got back from two days of Winter Fantasy and this is what I heard. (This news is second hand so take it with a grain of salt. I didn't actually attend the discussion myself). I'm sure that the reports will be coming in over the next few days. Rangers: More skill points, not as front...

I heard this on NPR the other day. I was going to post something myself but I couldn't find a link online... Ysgarran.

With the financial success of LotR and Harry Potter another 'literary fantasy classic' is going to come to the big screen. There is no hint about how faithfull to the book the movie is going to be. Both HP and LotR seemed to try to stay to the message of the books even if some of the...

I'd like to find an example of one of these new 'Narnia' books to see if this link has any truth to it. A quick search on the UK amazon site didn't reveal any books besides the core Narnia stories. (There were a few companion books on Narnia but no new stories for it). On the other hand...

What is your current suite of tools that you are using? Ysgarran.

If a Barbarian loses consciousness (i.e. below 0 hit points) does his rage end. I would say no but there is always a chance I missed something. (The Barbarian I was running on Saturday got Harmed and then hit by a magic missile. A cheap trick but effective...) Ysgarran.

I'm in this category also. I may just go to the SRD and grab the bits I want to incorporate into my game. For example: a more interesting Ranger class :) (so says an unabashed Ranger basher) Ysgarran.

It seems to me that the quality of some the current d20 products has greatly surpassed anything WotC has put out. It is a great situation to be in though, the bigger problem is deciding where to spend the limited resources. If Testament is as good as I think it will be, it is just another...

There are a total of 28 volumes printed in the original japanese sized format. All of the pictures have been reversed when they got the printing ready for Western markets. That means all of the samurai stances are reversed! Each volume is 10$, not so bad when you were buying just once a...
