Well, I found Races of Stone to be really good, Races of Destiny to be really bad, and Races of the Wild to be so so. YMMV. Jack

Well, The island is actually the secret lair of a human artificer terrorist who has been launching raids against the shipping lanes off the coast of Breland. He uses a special submersible airship with a chained water elemental rather than air or fire. The island is laced with his secret...

I was a little surprised by that too. It made me wonder what they had done in the 5th edition that was so special. I've always thought Ars Magica was a great system but I've never cared for the Historical Europe with Magic setting. Maybe I'll have to see about adding this to my library. Jack

Daniel Keys Moran OK, not a game designer but he wrote one of my favorite novels of all time, The Long Run. It's sequel, The Last Dancer, was almost as good but he hasn't written anything since. Jack

Hey All, I didn't see anyone else post this so my apologies if I missed it. In any case, here are this year's Origins Awards winners: Best Play-By-Mail Game Enlightened Age Entertainment Fall of Rome Best Historical Board Game GMT Games LLC (925) Sword of Rome Best Historical Miniatures Line...

Chicken. <Oh come on, someone had to say it> Jack

Well, All the game rules aside, I would have the priestess initially serve out of fear and then slowly have that turn to respect if she is treated decently and then eventually have an alignment change. The players are going to be expecting her to stab them in the back because it's such a...

As a cat owner, I have to agree with Fieari here. No cat would willing close a door. The fact that a piece of their territory has been sealed off from them drives them to whining fits. The only condition that might allow this is if the door had to be closed in order to stop them from getting...

Speaking on pronunctiation, What's with Keith's facination of double vowels? I mean I know how to pronounce EE and OO but what the devil do you do with AA, UU, an II? Is it Dhar-GOON or Dhar-GUN or even Dhar-LOO KOO KOO Ke Koo Koo KOO. (sorry, 'nother Canadianism slipped in there). Jack

Well, Under conventional English usage it would be pronounced EE-ber-ron. Which is apparently how the WotC folk pronounce it according to an earlier poster. But I'm Canadian so I choose to pronounce it EH-ber-ron. :) P.S. Was that too subtle? Jack

Gear and critters should be no problem. If you really liked A:2089 (which I enjoyed also) SST may leave you feeling a little flat. I picked it up mostly just to see how someone else would do a military power armor setting because I'm tinkering with a homebrew in the same vein. Jack

Blink, Somehow Vernor Vinge and space opera would seem more like military and intelligence to me. For space opera I'd look for a setting like Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn. Just nix the souls back from the dead stuff. Unfortuantely, aside from Transhuman Space, most current sci-fi RPG's are...

Oh please, Everybody know Bolos are much tougher than OGRE's. Jack

I'd like to get in on Psion's Traveller D20 game if there is still space. Jack

ROTFLMAO!!!! Ok the negotiation that would come from this particular casting of Summon Planar Ally is just too funny to think about. Somebody's going to owe the celestial host a BIG favor. :lol: Jack

Screen Name: Jack of Shadows Real Name: Greg Small

Well, You could move gear back and forth without difficulty. Classes and feats might be a little trickier. Jack

Well, I highly recommend using GW D20 as a sourcebook for Darwin's World 2. Keep the stuff you like and toss the rest. Worked really well for me. Jack

Well, I think it can best be described as D20 Modern-like. Playing it would feel a lot like D20 Modern but there are some specific rules that are different. First hit points are a lot less. Generally you only get a point or two per level rather than a die roll. I also don't think you get your...

I guess so. Did someone already mention that? If so I must have missed it. Jack
