Sir, I like the cut of your jib and wish to subscribe to your news letter. -TRRW

Anything between 48 and 470 pages can be Coil bound; which I guess is the same as spiral bound. -TRRW

Yep. The first page of the pdf is the title page of the book, and they're double sided. -TRRW

I showed up at lulu.com, made a new account, started a new project, uploaded the pdf compilation, and designed a crappy cover. Took about 5 minutes plus upload time. They won't let you make the book available for sale to others unless you have publication rights, but they'll allow "just for...

Dwarf. Take a level of Barbarian for the +10, take the Quick trait (Unearthed Arcana) for -1 HP/level and +10 move, take the Dash feat for +5, take the Animal Devotion (Cheetah) feat for +5/5 levels for 1 minute per day, Boots of Striding and Springing +10, the Martial Study (Desert Wind - Wind...

Ability Focus (Breath Weapon), Entangling Breath, Improved Toughness, and Enlarge Spell-Like Ability. -TRRW

That's the whole point of the new skill system; 1st level characters aren't f****** useless anymore. Your first level character is a competent person with something resembling a chance of survival. This makes it much easier to make low level NPCs that are good in their field. Sure, they won't...

I hated things like "frequency" and "number appearing in lair". Gluh. If you want the monster to appear, it happens to be there. If you want it to be by its lair, then it is. There aren't need for rules about this. To be fair, I agree with him. I've been playing for 16 years or so now...

Just purchase the custom droid (just like making a custom droid PC), then have them roll a Mechanics check. 30 - [Result] = number of days it takes to go from drawing board to finished product. Simple, elegant, and it doesn't have any of the silly crafting hangups from RCR. -TRRW

Forgot to add: Playing a socially adept character doesn't preclude combat effectiveness. So long as you're adding something (flanking bonuses, buffing colleagues, battlefield control), everything is gravy. If you're just standing around, hiding, not contributing at all... Recently, I played...

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. The trick is to put together a list of all the features you want, then pare out the things you can't figure out how to afford. Also, cheaper options start to make themselves evident, like combining the Comp-Use and Mechanics tools into one with a tool-kit...

I'll be there. Short-ish guy in a Mantis or Crab Clan kimono (ala L5R). Feel free to stop me and introduce yourself. -TRRW

Some of us like that, ya know? [edit: If I can't say anything nice, I won't say anything at all. No use starting up edition wars again.] -TRRW

If he's the party's face man, that's fine. He does his part outside of combat, and so long as he contributes something to the killing, that's cool. Now, if he doesn't pull his weight in either situation, I'm sure that things will sort themselves out. -TRRW

GITS-4 (Female-personality [Custom 2nd Degree Droid] Scoundrel 1) Str 10 Dex 14 Con - Int 18 Wis 11 Cha 6 Defenses: Reflex 14 Fortitude 11 Will 12 [Damage Threshold 11] Hit Points: 18 Trained Skills: Use Computer +14, Perception +5, Initiative +7, Mechanics +8, Acrobatics +7, Stealth +7, Pilot...

I'm guessing we must've had a terribly different experience with pre-3.0/3.5 editions of D&D. I'm pretty sure that we went through characters like they were Fruit Stripe gum (ie. they'd be gone inside an hour and we'd have to get a new one). Maybe I'm just strange, but most of the things...

Does anyone ever consider that the buckles might just be set dressing? Maybe they're leather pants with unnecessary buckles on the outside for the look. Also, maybe being a dragon descended sorcerer makes you not grow body hair. Creatively addressing issues and making something resembling...

I printed out my Age of Worms pdfs at Lulu.com; softcover (perfect bound, not spiral), ~650 pages for $17.03 plus shipping. They're the deal of the day to me. Mimeo is pricing it at ~$30 plus shipping and tax. *shrug* -TRRW
