Amen. Interstellar travel, by the laws of physics as we know them, is pretty much impossible, and it isn't looking good for interplanetary travel either without wondertech like Eclipse's Epstein drive. So if you're going to be doing space stuff you're already mostly ignoring "realism" and can...

Half right – there are RPG origins, but they aren't Traveller. The first inklings were Ty Frank doing some work on lore for a planned sci-fi MMORPG, but when the company behind it realized how much work would be needed they canceled it. The next step was a heavily homebrewed play-by-post d20...

Well, it's not like Sharn doesn't have any maps. They're just really high-level maps, sort of like this Manhattan map: But there aren't maps that show individual streets or towers or stuff like that, except in a purely decorative fashion (there are towers displayed on pages 37, 43, and 49, but...

Yeah, this was specifically in the first print run, since the DMG and MM were released as subsequent monthly intervals. The idea was basically "here's some basics to tide you over until the real book is released." Lands of Intrigue is on my hate list, though that's probably more due to...

Really? I don't think it looks particularly much different from whatever's going on with these ladies, particularly if you remove the idea that showing a bit of hair or skin is sinful (I don't know about Greyhawk, but the Forgotten Realms is definitely not a prudish setting):

Here in Sweden, the requirements are: In writing and on paper. Should list the assets and who gets what, ideally using that person's personal number but it's fine if you can positively identify someone in another way, like "Allan Svensson who is my neighbor". Has to be signed in your own hand...

That's odd. Anyhow, I can't believe someone took the time out of their day to post about that instead of just going "huh" and getting on with their life.

I remember making an Excel character sheet for RMSS where I tried using a formula with nested IF statements to calculate skill bonuses based on rank – something like =IF(X=0;-15;IF(X<11;X*3;IF(X<21;(X-10)*2+30;IF(X<31;(X-20)+50;TRUNC((X-30)/2)+60)))), but with some additional conditionals...

Rolemaster had a pretty big revision in the mid-90s with Rolemaster Standard System. It was still mostly the same game, but character creation became more detailed, with skills being split into Skill Categories and actual Skills (so in RM2, you'd get 3 ranks in Broadsword for +15 on top of stat...

There's a Swedish game called Eon which got a new ground-up 4th edition made about a decade ago, is currently in the process of releasing a touched up 5th edition (apparently crowdfunder backers have gotten PDFs now), and is simulationist in at least parts. It has a highly detailed combat...

No idea which post it refers to, but:

Also, "pegasus" is latin. The Greek name is pegasos (or Πήγασος, I guess). And I guess the English plural would be pegasuses.

Speaking of which:

Wouldn't surprise me if Wizards' settlement with LaNasa had a clause to the effect of "Keep our name out of your filthy mouth you degenerate", which would probably prevent him from bringing it up during the sale.
