(getting OT) Sumo.

IMC's, which aren't Scarred Lands, the organizations from which prestige classes come have plenty of members who don't have levels in the prestige class.

I'd allow the character to know mathematics as a freebie; he can know it just as well as he likes because all by itself the skill is USELESS. Let him be the best mental calculating engine of all time, if he wants, because he won't be able to do anything with it. Actually being able to do...

I like this idea. Spacers would slowly become pariahs, as each jump takes them just a little bit further from their familiar galaxy. They'd learn to mistrust their own memories, except as relates to each other. The ship would become the family. A spacer would be loathe to leave his ship...

You can reach a lot of DC area players by announcing on my DC area yahoo group, DCRPG@yahoo.com.

Another bump. Game time is approaching.

Human chimerism is a funny thing. Sometimes, the absorbed twin is confined to a creche or cyst somewhere in the body, still living cells suspended in an embyronic form. They are usually found in the abdomen, and are almost always benign. In a very, very small number of cases (on the order of...

All very good points. DM's should consider this kind of thing carefully. yes, there will be portals. There may be a lot of them. But chances are good that 1> Few of them go both ways and 2> the "in" end will usually be someplace inaccessible. Permanent Teleport circles make for a nifty...

I find that handwritten cards work just fine.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20031111a Someone tell me Hasbro has no influence over decisions made at WotC.

WotC shouldn't do ANY more monster types. They should leave that kind of book to the D20 publishers.

yet another player in the political game. More detailed than "Empire", it would seem. I'll have to look this one over.

I have to say that since Empire and Cry Havoc have come out before Fields of Blood, this book is going to have to be damn good to get my dollar.

Definitely squares. Speaking as a DM, and having used hexes for GURPS, I must say that I like squares infinitely better. It's just too much of a bother making maps on a hexgrid. The 1/2/1/2 rule works pretty well.

I picked up Empire, and I'm very satisfied with it so far.

Actions have consequences. To my mind, the true measure of the versimilitude of a game is the degree to which, in the game, this maxim is true. In "Mister Othemar's Neighborhood" the fact that the PC's had never left an opponent alive, and had in fact on several occasions gone to great lengths...

Wandering monster checks are the first part. Another thing you can do is give the party some competition. Have another adventuring group come up behind them and say, "Mind if we play through?" The rivals walk out with the lion's share of the treasure. I personally like the idea of a dungeon...

That is correct, creatures do not block line of sight. Line of sight is only blocked when the target has 100% cover.

If you take big risks, you get big rewards. Let them keep taking them. Sooner or later either their luck will run out, or they will advance to the point that the giants are no longer a big risk.

For those of you in the Northern VA area, I'm getting a group together to start in January. See the link in my .sig.
