Have you spent much time looking at historical art or looking into historical dress? If you had, you'd be surprised at how much nudity was involved in people's daily lives. It wasn't uncommon for women in ancient Greece, Egypt or Rome to go either topless or having one breast exposed. So having...

Derek mentioned to me in an email that he would be carrying it, and that he would have it on his website as soon as he can get around to it. From his comments here, I'm guessing that he was waiting for a cover picture to put up. Hopefully he can use the one on the Hero website.

No, a troll is someone who intentionally tries to draw someone into an argument. :)

Me too! I love it for fantasy games too! Limiting the character is the GM's job. If you like finite spells, then you make the character buy them with charages. With the Hero System I've simulated over a dozen different styles of magic, including D&D style (which is the most limiting and is...

The Hero System Fifth Edition will cover all the rules, skills and powers that you will need to play the game. With this book you will be able to play in any genre, but will not be genre specific. There are hundreds of examples covering every possible game-type as well as a campaign creature...

That "argument" took place on these boards over four months ago. It was a stupid argument then and it's a stupid argument now. All that argument did was turn a bunch of professionals and professional-wannabees into "did not, did so" little kids. It's an argument that really doesn't need to be...

I buy from Taloncomics.com. All their product is 15% off cover. Thus if you buy a $20.00 book, it only costs you $17.00. Shipping for the book will be around $4-5.00. That means you'd be paying between $21-22.00. If you figure how much a $20.00 book would cost you at your local game store...

Many times a company buys a "name" product because they believe it will sell because of the name recognition. Sometimes this works (especially if it's a good product) and sometimes it flops. When it flops, you see those companies selling the material on ebay, trying to recoup their costs. What...

The Kull movie with Kevin Sorbo was originally written as the third Conan movie and then changed to accomodate the new character. I'd love to see Arnold do a new Conan movie. Maybe now, after the Lord of the Rings has begun, there might be some new interest in the fantasy genre; interest that...

The Dragon Archive did violate copyrights. Some WotC exec didn't bother to check to see who owned the rights. There were many of us that ended up getting "settlements" because of the Archive, but alas we're not allowed to discuss them. Methinks Kenzer came out the best on the deal though. :)

Edena, you've posted some interesting material here. You should post some of this to the Canonfire website as well. That way, the Greyhawkers that don't come to these boards can take advantage of some of this material.

This is part of what it says on Mongoose's website. You might want to check there for more info. Inside You Will Find: Elves at Sea: Never before covered history and information on the sea-borne clans of elves and their total mastery of the ocean. Covering traders, explorers and warriors in...

The Hero-Gods were added in the LGJ. They were added to show that others besides the old-guard (Kelanen, etc) had achieved a level of greatness over the last twenty years. The god list in the LGJ is very complete, but doesn't, IMO, give the pantheonic effect that is so common in "real"...

I see the Epic System as being that step between Hero and God. If that is the case, then I think there are many characters that fall within that pervue. Iggwilv: Easily 25+ Mordenkainen: 20+ Rary: 20+ Gwydiesin of the Cranes: 25+ Philidor: 25+/- Canon Hazen: 20+ Jason Krimeah: 20+ Immediately...

Oops! Hit submit by mistake! There is a reason there is no "back story" in Greyhawk. It so that players and DMs can arrange it to suit their own purposes. For example, canon now has Vecna's Empire sitting in the Sheldomar, but if your campaign is in the Shield Lands, you are probably not going...

Vecna's empire was coming to it's close about the time of the Great Migration. There's information about this in the LGG, LGJ and from what Erik has posted to the RPGA Boards. As far as where, I'd suggest looking for the Halls of the Lich-king somewhere in the Rushmoors. :)

I'd like to know this as well. I enjoyed reading the book and thought that many of the monsters were very interesting. I'm looking forward to getting the goblin and elves ships books as well because of this book.
