Taliesin by Stephen R. Lawhead. It's part of a fantasy-historical King Arthur series. I just started, okay so far.

I only have one chapter of the big Ptolus book. Rome in Praemal is called Tarsis and was sacked by barbarians about 10 years ago (page 44 of the big book). Most important residents of the Empire live in Ptolus instead of Tarsis. In real world history Londinium was fairly populated in 140 CE/AD...

I have no desire to argue with the author of the Kitab al-Azif. However, my thought to "fill in the blanks" to populate cities and if a player want to play a fantasy Saxon, Roman or Turk. I have no desire to map Europe or Anatolia.

Interesting question. Isn't the assumption that the Old Ones predate Time itself? I am not really looking to do an alternate earth, but it does give me ideas. How about an Dying Earth planet?

Good question. I toyed with the idea of making elves Zorasterists. That would make them culturally Persian. I liked the Persian myths about Damavand. It reminded me of Meneltarma in Numenor. Whether or not Persian elves makes sense I don't know.:) Shooting from hip here: Gnomes = Germanic...

This is my first campaign setting built from the top down. I want to make sure I am not going overboard. But, at the same time, I am concerned about consistency. My initial campaign hook is: Romans + Druids + Cthulhu. I thought a fantasy Roman Britain. I will have a wall similar to Hadrian's...

1 Hour Minature Army Pretty cool. Go down to your local ye old hobby shop, pick your figures, plop down your money, and come back in a hour for your customized minature army. Pretty cool if you ask me. Potential home use, too, as prices drop.

I have considered that. I probably shouldn't even bother with Windows 2003 server (the last version for MCSE/MCSA). My philosophy is there's still lots of that stuff around, at least here in Utah; most didn't upgrade to Vista and keep their Windows XP stuff. I may or may not take the actual...

Mmm, blueberries, blueberry pie, blueberry syrup, blueberry waffles; delicious nonberry. I don't have a green thumb myself. I routinely killed house plants. Do you have to do much to your soil to get your plants to grow? Here in rural Utah our soil is white, extremely alkaline. I honestly...

This is a neat thread. I am working on stuff. A few "irons in the fire" right now: * continuing to job hunt. I actually quit my job almost two months ago. It's my fault. I wasn't happy and didn't feel I was getting anywhere. * Twittering when I find interesting stuff about computer networking...

I'm glad you found cookware to fit your needs. Yes, cast iron is heavy. It's supposed to be that way. The handle does get hot, but the heft works for you. You don't need to move it as much. It does make flipping an omelet or crepe a bit more difficult, however. Also, don't forget the cast iron...

You guys are awesome. I'll address comments/questions reverse chronologically. 1) Texas sounds good, power not so good, especially since I'd be moving from dry-heat to wet or muggy heat. And crime sucks no matter where you live (if you are robbed or otherwise threatened, it doesn't matter the...

Thanks for the help guys. Indy definitely sounds like fun. I may have to look elsewhere first, though. Houston does have a lot of companies, mostly energy. Here's a question. I currently live in a coal producing county. When energy prices are low, people are hating things, regardless of the...

Houston does sound like fun. I am doing more searching on graduate schools now. As high tech companies, I don't know if I would want to work for <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat...

Thanks all for the advice. 1) Texas, I was already looking at UT of Austin McCombs School of Business - both MBA and Management Information Systems. I do like red meat; just kidding. I am sure I can find whatever food I want there. How's the gaming crowd in Texas? 2) Yes, I am familiar with...

That's the nice thing about Utah. Its unemployment is relatively low. As for buffets, I thought that was a Utah thing. I have to been to Golden Corral in St. George a couple of times; I don't mind it. I have heard about Cincinnati Chili. I am not sure if I'd like it or not.:blush:

I am a recently unemployed IT professional from Utah. Hi gang! I am currently looking at graduate schools in the next 1-2 years. I'm looking currently looking at the Midwest region to focus on. I have looked at Arizona, Colorado, and Utah for jobs and possible graduate schools. I currently live...

I sympathize with your budget situation. I really do. Here's what I would advise: Buy pieces. It's nice that you can buy ten pieces of cookware for less than $10 a piece. However, how many of those pieces do you really use? Buying pieces will let you buy better cookware. I would guess you...
