Nice, works well for a good description of Pulp. Ysgarran.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk Steampunk is a subgenre of cyberpunk science fiction with dystopian, noir themes usually in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. This pretty much jives with my understanding of where steampunk came from: the ugly parts...

The 3.5 SRD has the Solar's bow doing 2d6 + 7 (+ slaying) which seems correct. I don't have my books with me so the MM may be incorrect. Ysgarran.

Well, he got the item by the time honored method of raiding a dungeon. (In particular, the Dungeon adventure with the large of number Slaadi running around. I just switch the scepter that cast a prismatic ray for my home made Moradin dwarf item.). I like the idea of the clan elders trying to...

Um, no, not at all. Not when you consider when this product was originally promised. I'm just hoping that it has been worth the wait. Ysgarran.

Can "Drzzt - The Movie" be far behind? :) Ysgarran.

Buzz Aldrin had an editorial in the NY Time entitled "Fly me to L1". Excerpts: "Instead, I think the next step in our space program should be to create a floating launching pad for manned and unmanned missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This is not a task for the unfinished International...

After a bit of thought this is what I plan to do. The existing dwarven clan hierarchy doesn't much trust this backsliding dwarf. He doesn't seem to have much respect for dwarven ways but he also has never done anything to harm the clans. I should make it clear to the character how the clans...

I have a CN dwarf in my campaign who has come into the position of a powerful magic item dedicated to Moradin. The only way I can describe this dwarf is that he is a bit antithetical to most ideals of what dwarves are. I dislike CN alignments but I don't forbid them in my campaign. The...

Yes, time of day makes a huge difference. If it is around lunch time, I'll load a page, go off and read the NY Times for a bit and come back to see if the page has loaded properly. Early in the morning, it is downright snappy. Now, the question is why? Is the load that high around lunch or...

Any plans/ideas on what will be happening? Any volunteers to run stuff? etc. etc. later, Ysgarran.

http://www.earth1066.com/ It looks interesting to me but I stopped checking in on their site since it didn't seem to get updated very much. Good to see that something is getting close to publication.

http://www.pbs.org/empires/thegreeks/background/8c_p1.html http://www.pbs.org/search/search_results.html?q=Spartans&neighborhood=none&btnG.x=0&btnG.y=0 PBS had done a special about sparta a couple of months ago, a quick search didn't find it but it did find some other interesting stuff.

Ditto, probably the main variation I've made on the BotR is the introduction of a more explicit being that plays the roll of a demiurge. There is also a heavy dose of animism thrown in that everything does have a 'spirit'. Large cities all have their own patron spirit that gains strength from...

I have subscriptions to both Dungeon and Dragon. I've only missed one issue since Paizo took over. Unfortunately my e-mail about the missing issue went completely unanswered also. Ysgarran.

Unholy Warrior from Green Ronin gives an evil core class built around the seven deadly sins. The tone doesn't seem to fit my current FR campaign but I plan to use it in my next campaign. later, Ysgarran.

Can't give an official reference but my friends and I play such that the rage does NOT end with unconscious. Want a rational? OK, doesn't make much sense for a fantasy world but we just say all those adrenals are still in your blood-stream and just because you are unconscious doesn't mean...

A dab of fingernail polish is what I'm planning on using. Make sure everyone has their own favorite color...

Experience tells me that doesn't really make sense not to take abiltity scores into account for CRs. In my home campaign I was very generous in the stat scores of the characters. If I go by normal CR rules and default monsters they routinely mop the floor with the default monsters and CRs that...

I've created a half-fiend hobgoblin (28 point buy) and gave her a level of Rogue and Wizard. What would the CR be? I'm planning for CR 4. If I used a standard array of ( Str 13, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 9, Cha 8) what would the CR be? thanks, Ysgarran.
