1) Urban Arcana was probably a bit ahead of its time, I think. Nowadays, with Dresden Files + Laurell K. Hamilton's stuff and other 'dark urban modern fantasy' out there, I think it's more doable as a campaign setting. It'd need more focus though, and some of the elements changed or removed...

I'm thinking I took bard as a dip class then went rogue. I know a lot of pure random esoterica that tends to prove useful in odd ways. However, in d20 Modern, it's a 3 level dip in Fast then onto smart.

Well, it's Sigil. And if it's not mentioned, it's your call, but given the general view of the Harmonium and the Fraternity of Order as well as the Mercykillers/ Sons of Mercy & Sodkillers, I'd say they'd probably allow it, but it would be wrapped up in red tape. Particularly the Harmonium and...

I've wanted to start a campus organization devoted solely to doing stunts such as getting a bunch of people to spend time "airplaning" (the run with arms spread thing) while singing airplane-related songs in public, or running a blood drive with a Hollywood horror monster theme (everyone's...

That's precisely what I was thinking of when I remembered that source. Given that many magical girl shows tend to include the "Negaverse" or "Shadow World" Evil Mirror archetype world as the source of the baddies, the entire idea's not TOTALLY out of genre; you go a little more in-depth as to...

Quartz: If it's long term, how did all these hybrids come about? If it's short term, how do you keep players from abusing it other than by not having it available, ever? This has implications. Think about them. EDIT: I know it's PG-13. I'm just trying to point out what one author's already...

Piers Anthony did that with Xanth a long time ago, in his first 2-3 Xanth books, even. Not a horrible idea, but one that could lead down some very squicky paths. Especially for those creatures descended from humans. And Anthony makes that clear; you really feel kinda sickened after thinking...

Umm, I thought RigaMortus's statement is just about as far from a spoiler as you can get. We knew it was a monster movie months ago. We knew the location, and a lot of the basic plot. He didn't give anything away that wasn't obvious from a trailer, had you seen one. I saw one a while back and...

In the case of Star Wars minis, AFAIK, it was a license reason; Once the licensing situation changed (AKA the release of the Eps. I-III trilogy) the financial and licensing outlook probably started favoring releasing more RPG material, so it made sense to release more material. Unlike Star...

I'd make a setting with firearms, repeater crossbows, dinos, weird aberrations, steampunk worlds, airships, golems, grafts, mech and all sorts of crazy stuff in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, I like more traditional fantasy, but I generally get my ideas by making images that immediately strike...

One way of producing a culture some would find repugnant at first glance, but that may not be prone to the Evil Fantasy Culture stereotype, is to make some aspect of their lives repugnant to your players at first glance, but that is not something that they'd find morally or ethically wrong. This...

Using one of the RSS web buttons publicly available might help, too. That little orange image is pretty recognizable...

You can have nation-states. You can even have powerful ones. All you need are nation-states that can't quite hold the border without losing the center, or hold the center without losing the borderlands. Think the "Old West" and in particular places like Tombstone or much of what is now the...

Asmor: when I saw the topic, I thought of just your solution, though not quite so elegantly put. Awsome idea, and certainly easier on those of us that can't draw, but know how many bridges there are in Königsberg. The 'travel by flight' situation is a conundrum, but if you say that the circle...

I almost want to say "I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter." Sadly, given the subject in question, it's not enough of a troll to actually be funny. Though the fact that I'm discussing this with myself may add an element of meta-humor. That said, an RSS feed of...

Oh, I see it a lot with low level night elves. But I've seen a bunch more Gnome griefers as a percentage of their playerbase than I've seen Nelfs, because half the griefers I'd see were gnomes. Given that gnomes make up only about 10% of the alliance playerbase, that shows that at least on some...

EDIT: Screw it, I'm not going to derail the thread further.

Another factor that makes people not want to play halflings is that many have had bad experiences with halfling players; the kender of DL, in particular, rubbed many the wrong way when their players stole from party members. Likewise, WoW Gnomes have that sort of past history with many players...

The AI could work safely in environments impossible for humans, prosfilaes, and would be easily capable of improving it's own intelligence, as well as potentially working longer and more continuously, as well as be able to control and monitor more variables than a human, and likely be cheaper to...

I'd go for a bard, or a bard/rogue. Decent combat skills (not great, but not horrible...) good array of mind-affecting magic, and almost all the good stealth/killing skills built-in. Bard 6+ also has an interesting stealth kill: poison food, then use fascinate+suggestion to convince the target...
