I don't remember where, but I remember finding it only a few months ago. It's a fan site, pretty accurate but not 100% information, I think. I used it for a custom class I made for some kids back in the day. I only finished Gryffindor House, but a selection of at-will, Constant (but one at a...

Never really thought of that, but it makes absolute sense. Being able to stream past movies or "buy" them from the service certain kills that market. That could work. I was very entertained by Arcane, Twilight of the Gods, and Blue-Eyed Samurai. When / if second seasons come out I will likely...

Thundarr the Barbarian. I didn't know there was a DVD set available. (But of course there was.) I'd be a little afraid to get it as I'm sure reality doesn't match my memories. The Dark Border, et al., by Paul Edwin Zimmer. Interesting series, a little frustrating until I realized that, after...

It would look a lot like the Amber game I ran back in the day. The PCs were, by definition, greater than nearly any NPC. Through character creation they defined their own strengths and limitations. They just had to describe how to evade or mitigate the obstacles in their way. I found it...

Well, that's not quite true. It is true that they didn't know the why very well at all, but they discovered the what fairly solidly. This was done through painful repetition with some changes. Results were recorded, and with better results refinements were found. What I'm referring to here is...

This is a series, then?

Oh, my bad. Yes, I took inspiration from Appendix N. Specifically from the works of AE Merrit, Vance, and Zelazny. While H. Beam Piper and William Hope Hodgson aren't on the list, I only discovered them through perusing the listed authors. The Night Land* is a foundational story for my campaign...

The benefit to me was I was exposed to names of new authors. I encountered different literary styles and methods of tale-telling. New ways to express and describe situations, people, entities, and magic. While I may have come across these authors eventually, it was nice to have 2/3rds a column...

Why does the short rest seem to benefit the dragon so much more than the PCs? Hit point wise, anyway. I, too, think that escaping underwater is a good plan. The quasit doesn't have a water form and is likely slower than the PCs. Assuming the PCs push themselves, I can see a minor demon try...

No, but the start of the previous campaign had... Human Rogue Human Wizard Half-Elf Wizard Water Genasi Wizard That was an interesting start. Current campaign starts with Kobold Rogue (Assassin) Human Rogue (Assassin) / Bard Water Genasi Monk Human Rogue (Thief) Halfling Druid Goliath Paladin...

It's hard for me to explain the terminology of others, but I believe the label "Decay" related specifically to nuclear decay and not other forms of ruin. But, as you said, the Weak force enables more things than radioactive decay. Yes, I think the only possible, and fantastical, properties...

I was hoping you and the other local physicists would provide your insights. Interesting, I've seen the weak force referred to as decay or nuclear decay. I stand corrected. I certainly wasn't talking about organic decay and the like. That's what I thought. I was trying to think of some...

Whilst in contemplation, I thought upon the four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear, and decay. There is some discussion as to gravity's place on this list, and perhaps a fifth that should be there. As I considered these things, I thought "what are non-fundamental forces?" I...

Where did you find the trade dress?

Here's an overview of my cosmology, also inspired by the Nine Worlds. (Interestingly, a couple of minor refinements since then.) I also recently wrote on how I'm using para-elements. I don't have elemental planes per se, but they are minor forces to tap into. Clay [Stone/Wave] - Mutable earth...

They are complementary volumes. The Primal Order talks about the mechanics of divinity; what makes divinity, relationships between power levels, changes in state, what it costs a divinity to provide miracles, artifacts, and demi-planes, &c. Book of the Righteous talks about myths...

I don't know that I've ever had cannoli. I'll have to try it sometime.

Well, no. Personally, the DM's job is to create a milieu and scenarios that lets the players have fun. This is what is fun for the DM. Now, "fun" is defined for me, in this context, "an enjoyable evening spent with friends". Enjoyment can come from many routes: comedy, tragedy, drama, mystery...

It helps that Prof. Barker is deceased, in this matter. However, I greatly miss the Greyhawk folio that I have repeatedly owned and sold over the years. While I don't always buy the books in a line, I have purchased the main three of each edition. If only to see changes, they can be a great...

WotC never had rights to Tekumel. TSR had publishing rights for a time, and after a handful of print runs they reverted to Prof. Barker. Then the deal was made with Gamescience (?) where the, IMO, the most complete edition was published.
