So I'm daydreaming at work, and I came up with this: If there are Dead Gods floating around in the Astral Plane in the DnD cosmology, then why can't these floating statues be mined and smelted into magic items? Or even broken apart by stonecutters and used for building a stronghold? Wouldn't...

I just purchased the Miniatures Handbook and the last chapter on Dungeon Delving sounds a lot like what has been proposed for 4E. Opinions?

Ooo, Eee Ooo, Ah, Ah Ting, Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang. Ooo, Eee Ooo, Ah, Ah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang!

Ed's pretty much right on the money (I'd argue the radiation from the gas giant part because it would depend on the gas giant and the star it orbits). Something to remember though, we have not yet found another world that could be considered to be even marginally habitable for terrestrial life...

I've never tried it before, but you could use the psionic prestige classes from d20 Modern in d20 Traveller and it shouldn't break the spirit of the game.

d20 Traveller and Classic Traveller get the highest marks. Cyberpunk 2020, Cybergeneration, 2300AD, all the other versions of Traveller, and Mekton Zeta have all been very good to my science fiction gaming as well.

OK. Temperate-cold thin atmosphere desert sounds like the Andes Mountains on Earth. Hmmm... You could have had the world partially terraformed by hitting it with a few comets. The air would still escape over a few hundred years, but it would be breathable in deep canyons and craters. The 20%...

Will this be a hot desert world (like Dune & Tatooine) or a cold desert world (like Mars & Siberia)? Personal protection will be very different depending on the temperature. You might want to think twice about the helium in the atmosphere. Helium tends to be so light that it just drifts away...

I liked Germany and the Germans I knew when I lived there in 1987. I don't see how my opinion would change just because of a sporting event. I would like to go there and visit, because back in 1987 I was in West Germany and there was still an East Germany. Although I chalk that up to a morbid...

I've developed the ability to stare someone right in the eye and tell them, "I don't care." It may be rude, but it gets rid of the crazy talkers before you have to make a SAN check.

I always hated company potlucks. If I have to spend 40 hours a week with my coworkers, then why shouldn't I be able to spend my off time away from them? Anyways, I'd just bring a couple of bags of potato chips and a one bag each of paper plates, cups, napkins, and plasticware since everyone...

Before joining in all the cat people hate, could it be the way the cat people race in particular has been played instead of the race itself? There seems to be a lot of stereotyping here about the felinoid races. Stop the bigotry! Learn to accept your Cat people brothers and sisters! You can...

Yes. I love the taste of parmesan cheese. So occassionally I go out, buy a wedge of parmesan cheese, and then proceed to eat the entire wedge over the next hour. People usually look on in horror as I do this. But it is so tasty...

I cross-posted this thread on a few other gaming forums Originally to get some different opinions on the same subject. The discussion on all has been damned interesting. Below are links to three of the other forums and their own discussions...

I ran across an excellent article by Andrew Bernstein of Polymancer magazine about illegal file sharing and its effects on the RPG industry. Its worth a read. http://www.polymancerstudios.com/index_files/Page3251_w12_part1.htm

Garbage Scow - The ship is old and the owner has decided to load it up with toxic/radioactive waste and launch it into the sun. The PCs can buy it dirt cheap, with all of its problems for being old, and with the added fun of having to haul off/get rid of the cargo of waste. A Garbage Scow...

I alway thought that evil in the real world had a distinctive dress. The three-piece business suit with tie which lawyers usually wear. Everyone knows that ALL lawyers are evil because of the suits they wear.

I know that it is not much, but I am donating to the Red Cross in support of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. I urge you to do the same and assist in this humanitarian effort. http://www.redcross.org/

I got in my old copies of 2001 Nights last night and one story had an idea that struck a chord in me, Night 4: Posterity . The story is about a Slower-Than-Light colony effort where the colonists were frozen spermatozoa and egg that were combined in an artificial uterus and birthed/decanted...
