    [OT] Australia burns!

    As you may or may not be aware, Denver experinced something quite similar to this last summer with the Haymen Fire. It turned out that one of the Federal Forest Service Employees had intentionally set the fire. At the end of it, something like 130,000 acres of forest ended up burning...

    Civilization the Board Game.

    The short answer is no - there is a resource trading element there and only having 2 people involved defeats it (like playing Monopoly with 2 people - sure it is do able, but much less fun) So good 2 players games. The most highly recommended on that I can come up with is Carcassone and...

    Civilization the Board Game.

    Henry, You are quite correct, the new Civilization board game is based upon the Sid Meier computer came series and is published by the same folks who make Age of Imperialism. The original game was an old Avalon Hill games that I beleive Hasbro owns the rights to now. Settlers of Cataan has 2...

    Animal Friendship question

    Don't forget that the Druids shapechange ability gives it +10 on diguese checks to blend in as that type of animal. I would also give a +2 or +4 competence bonus depending on the amount of knowledge nature the "hiding" druid has. After all, while the Druid may look like the animal in question...

    Not that this will help you in the short term, but I was under the impression that WoTC was producing a setting book for the Unther, Thay, Mulholland area...... Is this correct, or am I delusional???

    Yes, you are right - actually in a strict Catholic sense, all church goers should wear headgear. Men should wear the Catholic equivelent of Kippahs (can't remeber the name) Women should wear Habits. Obviosly, this practice has pretty much gone by the wayside - I think with Vatican II, but I...

    Appropriate behavior in warfare (warning: Alignment)

    I still think that the "rules" can change in war - especially given societal beliefs. Admitedly stepping onto thin ice here. Look at the East Front in WW2. Do the actions of the various soldiers make them evil? In some cases abosolutely, but to put a blanket statement that killing prisoners...

    Appropriate behavior in warfare (warning: Alignment)

    Your warning alignment is appropriate :D One of the tricky things here is that behavior is socialy and coulturally dependend. For example what we find reprehensible in Western Europe would be quite expected in say Asia - and vice-versa. So, for example if the character came from a society...

    Today's Funkwinkerbean - D&D Fan?

    For those that get this comic in their paper, take a look at today's comic (1/8/03). The first panel has what appears to be a Bugbear and Remorraz in it (In fact the Bugbear looks like it was copied directly from the 3e MM!!!!!) I would post a URL - but the online site is 2 weeks behind today...

    The party has 60 frost giants in tow - ideas please? (kinda long)

    Obviously the biggest issue that you are facing is that anything that can realistically challenge 60 Frost Giants is going to wipe out the party. However, given this, you may wish to have a necromancer engage in some sort of hit and run type of raids at night casting debilitating spells on the...

    you . . you just have to see this.

    Re: Re: Re: you . . you just have to see this. I have found that Portuguese is like a combination of Italian and Spanish - and I have found as demonstrated above, that the Brazilians (understandably) get a little bit peeved when people speak Spanish to them....

    Some really cool RotK pics!

    Speaking of RoTK, does anyone know if they are planning on expanding on Legolas's part in the third movie??? I ask, because it seems that Orlando Bloom has become vedry popular with the adolescent female set and was curious if they are going to "bend" the plot to accomodate this.....
