Oh, I like this... I like it a LOT. Consider it snatched.

What happens to secondary predators in OUR world? Look at Africa, for example... Lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, hyenas, and any number of other predators all live in similar circumstances. Do the wild dogs starve when the lions hunt? Sometimes. More often they move somewhere that there aren't...

Wow. I don't think I've ever... well, I'm not going to say what I was going to say. I just can't think of a way to say it that doesn't come off really bad. My question is, what does it bring to your game to be rolling dice every day for something as trivial as gathering and cooking food? I...

I've written one book, and I'm writing another. They're NPC resources. For me, I don't see a difference between fluff and crunch. It's like I'm building a doll... I need to have stuff that makes the character "live", the fluff, and I need stuff that makes him gameable, the crunch. I include...

NPC only is no better than PC only, in my opinion. As for DM's doing what they think is best, how can they do any different? So do I. I just don't like this kind of thing in character generation. It smacks of all of the problems of 1e psionics. I hope you posted it here to solicit...

This is bad. First of all, it's a PC-only rule. Why can't NPC's have these? Second, it's a random PC ability, not something the player chooses. Finally, a more subjective critique: The signs are really heavy-handed. This whole thing could have been handled MUCH better.

Does anyone actually read this forum?

Yeah, YOU can't hover around on it, but your buddies can. Load it up with sandbags, and put your buddy on it with a repeating crossbow. You use a fly spell.

It seemed odd to me that you could build a "City" in both the barony and empire scales of Empire. So I renamed them, depending on the scale. Here's the list. The first item is the name in Empire, followed by the names I use in the barony, kingdom, and empire scales. Village: Thorp, Small...

I'm going to work up the class rulership abilities into feat chains with class-focused prerequisites.

While I haven't used Empire yet, it looks workable. Yes, it's going to take some work, but what doesn't? I'll let you folks know what happens after I use it.

If they release a 4.0 SRD, yes, if they don't, no.

Once I told the party that they were all the sons and daughters of a retired adventuring party. Another time I told them they were childhood friends. In the end, does it really matter? It's contrived any way you do it.

edit: Yeah, what he said.

I would argue, Paul, that you can't. You can either spend enough time in the library that you actually acquire a rank in Knowledge (Physics) or you would be unable to integrate the information you found in the library.

Have you ever played Ars Magica? In this game, one makes not only a mage, but also two other characters. They're all "yours" in the sense that any PC is. Why three? Troupe play. People play different characters based on the situation at hand. If everyone in the party has Leadership, then...

Nope. Why? I'm an author. I can't use anything inside in a D20 product.

I think someone ought to publish plans for a castle that uses mundane means to foil magic.

I would be wary, as a publisher, of a PDF release on this one. I think he's better off print-only for this.
