    This one is also pretty cool:

    "Fallacy!"-free Fridays on Enworld RPG threads?

    I used to ask my gf for fallacy every Friday. Turns out I've been spelling it wrong all along!

    Dark Sun Collector's Guide

    Found a couple more for you! Dragon #284 (June 2001) has a "Campaign Corner" article starting on page 64 that features the Annulus of Korgunard on pages 66-67. The entry is by Ed Bonny. Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium II: Children of the Night features a thrax NPC from Kalidnay called Palik...

    Hollywood distances?

    Yes, I'm being a bit uncharitable here, heh. They filmed there but didn't name it. By the same token, I suppose I should also moan about Nottingham Castle apparently being in Carcasonne. But that would be stretching it a little, I think :D

    Hollywood distances?

    There is some equally crazy stuff in Prince of Thieves, which has Robin arriving at what looks like Dover and proclaiming that he will be in Nottingham by nightfall. By walking. Via Hadrian's Wall, apparently. A shame, as the rest of the film was a paragon of historical accuracy and...

    Mallus Rediscovers AD&D

    Gotta love the friendly fire. Best I ever saw had the party in one room with the enemies in an adjacent room, separated by an open door. Due to the PCs mangling their actions and initiative, their dwarf fighter charged the enemies, only to be simultaneously hit in the back by his fellow elf's...

    Your favourite TV show and why?

    The Wire. That is all.

    Mallus Rediscovers AD&D

    Same here. I haven't found Dragonsfoot to be anything other than friendly and relaxed. Their focus is on pre-3e, to be sure, but it's not true that you can't discuss other editions. I'm paricipating in a discussion right now about Dark Sun where DS4e is getting mentioned in very favourable...

    [Trailer] John Carter

    Yay! Dark Sun movie!! :p Looks great. Loved the shot of the moons (which just made me think of Ral and Guthay, lol.)

    Any Info on Samarah?

    Samarah features in the opening chapters of The Cerulean Storm. There's a fair bit of action there and some descriptions of the town as well. It's a small walled port (the wall is chin-high) with a tiny harbour (although large enough for a fleet of twenty silt schooners) and a cobblestone...

    "He's beyond my healing ability..."

    Yeah, it's clumsy and often doesn't work without gimping character abilities. You might make it work with lower-level PCs by having the NPC be poisoned and in the last throes of taking a lethal bout of Con damage. That way he can gasp his last and then die. He has taken no hp damage, so he...

    Lamia

    I checked it out - it's from Dragon #81. Her name is Feyodena and she has an alliance with a gynosphinx.

    Best Era of Dark Sun?

    Nominally, the Prism Pentad-era. Specifically, after the fall of Kalak but before the death of the Dragon and all that nonsense with Rajaat. In this period, the sorcerer-kings are dominant, the Dragon is still rampaging around, but there is a (supposedly) free city as well. Free Tyr allows...

    Lamia

    There's a lamia that features pretty prominently in the Ruins of Andril adventure from Dragon Magazine back in the day - can't remember the issue number off-hand, though.

    Doctor Who Season 6 (SPOILERS :p)

    My bet is that it refers to the Library (from Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead) where River's e-ghost ended up. Loved this episode to bits and had to work hard not to blubber like a baby in front of my three kids. Fave line: "Biting is like kissing except there's a winner." Gaiman is...

    Influence of Conan on D&D

    Zenobia, I think. And yes, the original Conan stories are unfettered awesome. The energy just crackles off the page. A bit of a filter is a good idea, but the stories are no less brilliant because of it. Genuine must-reads.

    Ever see a Strengh 18/00 rolled legitimately?

    Once. I did it on my second AD&D character ever (a paladin) back in 1984, in front of the DM. Only played the character a few times over the years, though. Think I retired him around level 8 or something. I once saw my sister roll 18, 18, 18, 17, 16, 16 for an assassin she was playing...
