Yes, yes. I just couldn't resist a laugh at your expense. I am from Philadelphia after all. :lol: Serving size 2oz? How many cookies are in 2 ounces?

Surely there are other ingredients to pie crust than butter. ;)

Step on a teleporter, get turned into an acorn. Otherworldly entity gates the characters in, but something went wrong with the process. Etc.

Yes, and that's why they typically charge fees for their services, just like any businessman in Yggsburgh would. ;)

You'll want to subscribe to Gary's talk list if you want to talk about politics (like getting screwed over by the State) or religion (like how people down South think free highways are the 11th Commandment). Anyway, Gary, how are the roads supported in and around Yggsburgh? Taxes or tolls? or a...

I prefer tolls to taxes (why should someone pay taxes for a road on which he might not even drive?), and NJ gas taxes are nice and low.

Neither could hold a candle to Thri'tard, the iconic Grell Monk. :lol:

There are 11 toll plazas over 172.4 miles (about one every 15.7 miles) -- each 35 cents. That's only $3.85 to travel the whole distance of the GSP. A similar distance on the Pennsylvania Turnpike is over $10. Also, when compared to the PA Turnpike or I-95, the GSP is driving heaven.

. . . straight from the Colonel. :p

I haven't seen HOMP yet but I would agree with Deogolf about Lejendary Adventure.

Just goes to show what I've always said: the OGL causes lung cancer. :lol:

I don't think he's correct, either, and I don't think John Nephew thought he was correct. I think he (Nephew) was merely making a rhetorical point. It's hard to argue that 3.x D&D is the greatest game ever if there's hardly a soul to be found who can design for it. Or that one needs a degree in...

He was responding to something that Mike Mearls wrote:

Lejendary Adventure (it's been in print and supported since 1999).

No no. ;) I was simply using numbers (20, 50, 80) that are easier to remember than 16, 48, and 80. In the first second of fall one falls approximately 16 feet (distance ~= 16*t^2), the second second 48 feet, and the third second 80 feet. One has a velocity of 32ft/sec. in the first second of...

Of course, if one really wants to get into the Law of Gravity then it is the time (not the distance) of one's fall that should dictate the damage taken, since velocity is a function of time (v = 32t). I think a simple method could be 1 point of damage per foot for the first 20 feet, two points...

I agree. Gary is much too left-leaning for my taste. ;)

I was just reading a comment from Steve Jackson (of GURPS fame) this morning in which he noted that most adventuring parties think of themselves as lawful good but are in fact chaotic neutral. I wonder if this can be applied to political parties as well. . . . :uhoh:

The THAC0 (2e) system may be less intuitive than the BAB (3e) system; however, there were generally fewer modifiers in 2e than there are in 3e. I think percentile-based systems are the most intuitive, myself. :)

But of course. I was just hoping to see "The Dwarven Quest for the Rod of Seven Parts" in print some day. :cool:
