*waving from the former home of the America's Cup* (boy are we desperate over here in the west!) Me too! Me too! I count...even if I am in the largely forgotten part of the continent!

What shocked me was to discover that, no matter what the outcome of the match, South Africa is now the no.1 test team in the world - what have we been doing?

There's cricket in movies?????:)

In this sad time I wish you and your family blessings and the hope for peace and healing. :(

Kung fu - the original tv series with David Carradine. I used to try to duplicate the staff fighting using cricket stumps - until my parents caught me. Hand-to-hand combat has always had a special place in my heart. I think it all goes back to that - though there's a lot of other adventures...

Part 8: The Test of the Demonweb By the time we had returned to Fareach an early wet season had burst forth upon the Verdant Coast with a deluge so heavy that it threatened to wash the coastal colonies into the sea. For weeks on end tropical storms battered jungle and town, river and port...

One possible setting for a Christian d20 could be the first century church. What you'd have is an underground Jewish sect, perscuted by both the Jewish religious leaders and by the Roman secular government (in certain places). Characters could be converts struggling to find sanctuary in which to...

There might be an in campaign way to handle this issue. If the characters are walking sales reps for "Ye Olde Magic Shoppe" then they're probably going to draw some attention. They could be targetted as a source of treasure by other adventurers. After all, why go to an ancient huge red dragon's...

One is the ability of the Henshin Mystic PrC, Root the Mountain. In essence, the character cannot be made to move, automatically wins any opposed strength checks for bull rush (it doesn't specify trip but I would include this too). Also, no creature with improved grab (grapple) can pull the...

An update for contributors Well last Friday we had our session. First, several players couldn't show. Second, after flicking through the available characters, one player decided she'd stick with waht she's got, another came up with a completely independent idea. Anyway, there's still hope...

There's a martial arts ability (as well as a couple of class abilities) in OA that makes a character completely imovable, immune to bull rush and trip, grapple bonus. Boots would be great for this. Gloves of Adamant Grasp (PsiWar Lvl 5) would be cool too. Of course there's the belt from S&F...

Fiend Folio edit: a day late and a dollar short...d'oh

My six year old daughter was playing with us for a while (she stopped recently because we had fewer miniature based combats). However, in one session her character got a wish. She was getting all sorts of advice on how to use her one wish, like asking for a magic weapon or more power (xp). She...

I actually thought of Menzoberranzen as a possible example as well, but went with Melnibone 'cause I thought people might argue about the interpretation. But it did get me thinking - Menzo' is very like Melnibone in a lot of important respects. I wonder if there is a concious inspiration? Is...

Part 7 – Friends and Enemies in Holly Canal We had tied up Nataleod and his men and commenced searching through the warehouse that Maglorix had led us to. The building was divided into three areas. The first two were stocked high with crates and iron bound chests all of which, upon closer...

Maybe you don't want to play a human. Elven blood can bring advantages, depending on your campaign.

You sure about this? At the very least I think you'd have to say that you can't be good and prejudiced.

GM always stood for Gamesmaster where I come from. Otherwise it would sound like "gay"master - not that there's anything wrong with that!;)

Card based magic - similar to scrolls but using an enchanted deck of cards for a spell focus. Specific hands must be dealt for each spells - spellcraft and gambling are important skills. spirit magic - spell effects are generated by summoning and binding the appropriate spirits. mandalas/sand...

I'm going to throw a cat (non pirate variety) among the pigeons. I think the culture which you've described could easily be chaotic. The society is rigid and codified you say, but the individual's need not be. It could be the case that the codified appearance is only a facade. Something that...
