If you check I think you'll find that his more "colorful" posts have been secodary or tertiary replies to subjects where a question was asked and answered, and then asked again by the same person, often several times. Dan, for all his strengths, doesnt seem to handle interactive discussions...

Ya, I wrote a CSV export template for my own use in populating the database that drives my spells page. It's pretty straight forward; took me about 5 minutes to make if IIRC. It just doesnt like lists much, but otherwise works fine. Absolutely worth it, 100% and most definitely! :D

Hero Designer OK, disclaimer: used HD v1 heavily right after its release and was an early beta-tester for HD v2. I dont work for Hero Games, and am a hard core HEROs gamer. So, everyone should be clear on where my bias lies. Now that my bias is clear, lets hit a few points: HD v1 has some...

Small world. I played on the Lee County Lacrosse team, which was run by Bruce DeKoff who worked at Riverdale at the time. My understanding is that he transferred to another school and the team is no longer based at Riverdale but is still going somewhere. Never did ROTC myself; went into the...

I used to live in Ft Myers; I graduated from Riverdale High in 92. There used to be a good game store....Pioneer games I think....but that was many moons ago. Naples is nice...but that whole region is pretty much newly wed/nearly dead. My parents and younger brother still live there....my dad...

The episode before last was much much better IMO. Oh well....at least this one had some amusing moments, but it was a bit too much stream-o-consciousness to stand up as a really good season finale. The pacing was just off for the entire episode, and the wormhole bit at the end was the most...

Being much to sophisticated to ever use AOL ;) , I didnt participate in the Greyhawk Archives on AOL. However, GreyTalk was an email based correspondence and therefore available to non-AOL users and I participated in that for a time. Many of the same notables as were found in the AOL archives...

Pretty funny; good for a chuckle at least. I personally dont agree with the 'Im bigger, therefore I have a harder time hitting smaller things' mechanic of d20 at all. If you increase the surface area of the attacking implement, accuracy is less important. But whatever. The 'Im so heavy I cant...

Gah...of all the stupid...illogical....inconsistent..........[Sigh] Yes I had missed the divine rank to spell pen bit. That just strikes me as retarded. Well, its seems more and more to me that d20 falls apart quickly the higher the power level escalates. Fortunately for me, the HERO System...

Grunt....so much for editorial oversight. The buff spells would be a good thing for Hextor, but using spells against Heironeous would come up hard vs SR 47. As far as Sundering Heironeous sword, its still a resisted roll (though if buring up Smites to do it, Hextor has the definite advantage)...

Re: Ghostform's Biggest Drawback? Well, my wiz had Eschew Materials, but all that aside I think this is a bad idea generally both for the extra bookkeeping involved and the fact that the Wizards possessions go ethereal with him and therefore are on the same plane as the Wizard and are...

Thats very depressing. I was still hoping for a Mad Season 2 someday, and maybe just one more Alice in Chains LP......

double post -- ignore

I recently played a multiclassed Transmuter/Barb/Rogue that had Ghostform. The spell was great for recon and scouting, but not so good once the fighting started. Granted, the Wizard was more martial than most, able to hold his own with a short sword and a nasty bowman with Greater Magic Weaponed...

I agree with you otherwise, but the Candle Caster is a powerful class. They essentially get a partially limited metamagic feat almost every level and spellcasting every level. Not as useful for an actively adventuring PC due to item creation overhead, but very powerful for an occasional...

While an enterprising GM could run a niche campaign with a tightly outlined structure and a limited choice of characters, the setting itself is not friendly to Role-Playing in general. As a factioned war game, every race is designed to have an excuse to fight every other race. Its no more...

Well, thats certainly debateable, particularly when you mix in the intolerance of Lawful factions, the lack of discipline of Chaotic factions, and rivalrys between different groups even when moral and ethical alignments match. The way I see it the only factions likely to cooperate for any length...

The Belt flat doubles his strength, for a total of 92. Mjolnir is possibly the ultimate weapon. For starters, it weight 2 tons so only Thor can even wield it. Also, if you dont wear Thors gauntlets you take 4d8 points of Con dmg/rnd you hold it. Thor can throw it at any target he sees...

Dont forget Rary and Philodor the Blue Mage (or whatever his/her/its name was). And what level was Tenser when he made his big comeback? But other than that, pretty much everyone in Oerth thus far seen is sub-Epic if memory serves.
