    Lets determine together what the soul is, and what are its game mechanics

    I agree! Thinking, thinking.... Several systems seem to assign spirituality to things we wouldn't normally attribute to the supernatural--the voice, the ability to move, stuff like that. Hmmm. I wonder if the six character attributes can be considered along the same lines? (Str, Dex, Con...

    Volcano or Fire Giant Modules?

    Strange. This question seems strangely familiar.... Yeah, that's what I was going to say! Or that's what I did say. I think. Deja-vu? Time travel? Or have I been dreaming up questions again in my sleep? :\

    What exactly makes Math hard to some people?

    I'm really good at subtraction, but my addition sucks wind. That must be why I prefer THAC0 over BAB. :p Or wait--maybe it's the other way around: I'm good at subtraction because I prefer THAC0?

    [pet peeve/rant] Grammar, people!!

    I don't know! Teh MTV was on behind me while I was posting, anything could've slipped in there. I still haven't deciphered this line, by the way: (I can't look at it without thinking, "It seems to have a base in Indo-European....")

    [pet peeve/rant] Grammar, people!!

    You doofus! I read that three times trying to figure out what the FAQ you were talking about! So no, I didn't understand what was being communicated to me, not at first. You have wasted my time trying to make a point which you yourself have just disproven. Which makes it a good point...

    Why are pixies so large?

    Hey, me too! In 25 years of DMing, I have never used a...what you said. (And I've used sylphs and ear seekers, fer cryin' out loud!)

    Bilogical Tree of D&D creatures

    If you conclude that some creatures are magical conjunctions of two species, they can be left out of the biological tree.

    Why are pixies so large?

    It's the new paradigm. Pixies had to upsize to take on the ogre franchise. Think "proactive," people!

    Lets determine together what the soul is, and what are its game mechanics

    Oy, the soul and stuff like that there! Here's an item I've been wondering about for a while. I had hoped to base my rules on real-world concepts. For instance: the Platonic New Testament view of man as consisting of three factors: spirit (pneuma), soul (psyche), and body (soma). a Norse...

    Most Missed Defunct Gaming Magazines?

    I'm with you guys on this one. But that's like missing Dragon Magazine before 3rd edition--which I also miss. :)

    Bring back that lovin' feeling...

    Ehh, I've left bigger things behind. (You've been to Nutkinland! You've seen my posts!)

    Bring back that lovin' feeling...

    I've been playing on and off since around 1979, and "going on hiatus" has been my SOP. When I haven't been willing to totally give up my AD&D, I've shifted to other games: MechWarrior and BattleTech mostly, but also 3.x D&D. Some of my friends have had to be "left behind" in all this...

    Ripped off for shipping

    Someone should start up an Ebay hitman business. Unhappy customers could gang up, each paying a small sum to have a bad apple whacked. After the first few conners end up head-first in the biffy, the whole lot of 'em will surely straighten up and fly right!

    Sooooo.... Were any of YOU ever kicked out of a game?

    Whoa, did we go to high school together?! That sounds just like the group I ran. Except we also had a guy who thought he was better than everyone else. And there was the guy who made his girlfriend play even though she didn't want to, or even know how.

    Order of the Stick: End of story arc

    I like this one: http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=121 "Ahhhhhhh, Ninja vs. Pirate, the age-old debate."

    Yes. :) The problem is, my way had to be killed off for you to get your way. :(
