    Tell Me About Italy, Trade, and Banking During Renaissance and Dark Ages

    Well, I'm no expert on Italian Principalities, but if you want to learn about that sort of thing, you might want to check out The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli if you haven't already... The book shouldn't be more than $15 if you know where to look. The word when approaching trade back then was...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 2)

    The News... The following are excerpts from popular print media in the United Commonwealth of Toril. They are back issues, but they will help us all understand how Forrester no longer controls the UC at this stage in the game. The main line of concern is the way the CPT Government and...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 2)

    Well now... ... how can I not accept renewed control over The United Commonwealth of Toril? :cool: All right, if the UC is to return to a more proactive player in these reindeer games, I will have to know a few things first off... 1. Who claims to be the allies of the United Commonwealth...

    (IR) IR Interlude Turn 6 - Turn 7 (thread 1)

    I do believe that Creamsteak wanted to take over the Church of Mercy... ... ... Oh yeah, hey everyone! :cool: Post Edit: After receiving an e-mail and sending one back, I'm thinking of returning to the fold, of course, I'm somewhat confounded by the entirety of these proceedings, but I...

    Howdah combat?

    Heh, I wish I knew what a hennwei was... :) But yeah, I was going to say that the Longspears would enable the warriors in the howdah to fight anyone adjacent to the mammoth, and the composite longbows would have to take care of everything else beyond that... The neat thing is that the mammoth...

    Howdah combat?

    Thanks Piratecat, :D ! I had looked at the Ride skill and associated Feat list, but it seemed that it lacked something... I was thinking of it being closer to the Chariot feats in Sword and Fist (pg. 78-9)... but now that I think of it, using the Mounted Combat feats may work just as well...

    Howdah combat?

    I think that's how it's spelled... but anyway, I was looking at the exotic weapons in Masters of the Wild and found something called an "anku" which is used for steering elephants (pg. 26). It sparked my interest, and I decided to include a force of mammoth-riding nordic barbarians in my game...

    D&D 3.x My players hate the 3e ranger.

    Ranger Tweak I usually tweak the Ranger thusly: You have the option to take the Ranger as is, or... ... you can take the Ranger sans Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting, but they get Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot. Why Precise shot? Because I still think of Rangers as woodsmen and...

    Compelling Encounters!

    LOL I now decree that any poster wishing to invoke "Elven Supremacism" without incurring the wrath of Forrester may include the "Forrester Notwithstanding Clause." My current campaign is set in an area where snow is a reality... There are rules in the DMG in relation to the effects of snow...

    [OT] Prime Minister/ Parliament vs. President/Congress?

    Most of the time, however, the leader of that political party, aka The Prime Minister, has the officially recognized power to "Hire and Fire" all ministers (and caucas members). The United States is unique insofar as its representatives are not as subject to Party Discipline as a lot of those...

    OT: Blade II - Spoiler - Opinions?

    Man, sometimes, I don't know what you guys are expecting when you go into theaters... I dunno, it must be the urge to nitpick or something. It's a movie about a Marvel comic, hehe. The only comparison I was going to make when I went in there was between the first one and this one. It was...
