Mars is about 6800 km in diameter. Earth is about 12750 km in diameter. You can get these numbers all over the place, accurate numbers actually. The surface area of a sphere is 4pir^2. They are not spheres of course but close enough for scientific reality in fantasy worlds. And i noted a few...

If you are getting sceintific about what biomes would be where you really can't just shove the oceans aside. certainly not when you are talking about climate and weather. The oceans are 70% of the earths surface area and as such have a huge impact on climate. There is weather over the oceans.

That'd mean this flooded mars would have 61% of the land area of earth. Not close enough for "about the same" in my book, if you don't think so don't take my word for it pour two little kids some drinks but give one 61% of what you give the other one and ask them what they think.

Why do folks think earth and mars are almost the same size? Mars is about 1/2 the diameter of the Earth. That means it has about a 1/4 of the surface area earth does (roughly speaking).

nope. Way off there. The Earth has a mass of 5.98x10^24 kg and the moon is 7.35X10^22 kg. The moon is 1/81 the mass of earth. The moon would have to be made of some pretty heavy metals to be 1/4 the mass of earth.

Would you have rather been fired or arrested?

The clerics in that module are charging over the list price, shrewd buiness practice if it works for them since the normal rate is spell level * caster level * 10. Besides they can make exceptions for locals who only have to come up with a couple of silvers in coin but otherwise are on the...

Well assuming it is possible in your D20 modern game to bring back the dead go for it ; Ever read the book Pet Semetary? It all depends on the world the game is taking place in. In a staright D&D game i can't see why not let it happen but in other settigns it can cheapen things a great deal.

If divinations are a real bother then require a skill roll to figure out what they heck they are revealing to the caster or let PCs/NPCs/Monsters save against divinations. Seems to me if someone doesn't want you to know they are evil they should have some defense against this sort of magic just...

A number of years ago a gentleman just a few blocks away from me woke up after a brief nap and lit a cigarette... BOOOM!!!! He was at the center of an explosion that blew a wall off of one side of his house thanks to a leaky propane tank on an enclosed porch of his house. He still suffered a...

Yep I'm a hardocre Risk player. I've got a home made World of Greyhawk risk board and cards somewhere in my basement. Hmmmmmm.. .Greyhawk Risk and Dungeon! game combo. War rages on as adventurers seek treasures to enrich their sides military forces.

jeepers? What are you a hobbit? ;)

Settled areas shouldn't have many monsters in them because the goverments ofthe area do spend a god bit of funds keeping the area clear of them (one reason low level adventurers can get a job). However at the frontiers there will be a population of creatures that perys on theinhabitants of the...

I think the review is fine. I've been a technical illustrator for about 20 years now and am perfectrly satisfied to see that the pieces I did for Gun-Fu did the job they were supposed to: they supported the text.

What does a gaming Con cost? How many games do most of us squeeze in?

My wife (at the time) was in labor with our first child and we didn't leave for the hospital until we finished a game of Risk (and i kicked her butt :lol: ) .

Well not so bad for my entry into the RPG art market.

Start the new guy a 1st level. With a bunch of 14th level characters to show him the ropes and cover his butt he'll go up in levels fast. (yeah he'll get resed and raised a heck of a lot also).
