Owlbears, because they are so purely "let's slap a couple things toghter, but somehow this one works, and: Perytons, (or 'killdeer' as my players christened them) because (1) anything that stimulates my player's imaginations enough to trigger a colloquial name is good, and (2) something that...

Actually, one of the things that I like about physics is that one can't simply say "one interpretation of physics", or rather, one can, but all interpretations but one (at best) will be wrong. It is a case of is the interpretation correct or not? But, as was correctly noted: If fly provided...

I don't think that it can be considered to be that "pure". As an example, Altas Games has released a number of supplements that (while personal tastes may vary) I consider to be absolutely first rate (Dynasties & Demagogues, Crime & Punishment, the Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary, etc.). These have...

And solidified, they made it into dice. I rolled my old d20 last year, and I think it still hasn't come to a stop.

I've driven through Chicago several times. I can easily believe that there are 2.7 million people in Chicago, and I could also believe that all that 2.5 million of those people do is drive slowly between Gary and Racine and back. The way I look at it, a job of the DM is too make the...

Kai Lord, before I was willing to simply disagree in silence, but I think that you have gone over the line. I do not wish to get this thread closed, but after your last post, maybe it should be. No, it seems as if there are only a few individuals who find "symbology that glorifies things...

Yes; Greyhawk as a world is strongly underpopulated; perhaps the wandering moster tables are a little too strong ... :) I do not know the system, but it is certainly reasonable to think that Thorpes are small enough to take care (or have to take care) of themselves. If there are...

The following website is free, and I hope, useful. (It has been very useful for me.) Medieval Demographics Made Easy http://www.io.com/~sjohn/demog.htm

Keith, While I have not yet purchased Eberron, I have enjoyed Crime & Punishment, the book you wrote for Atlas. I recently reread the Terry Pratchett novel Feet of Clay, and the questions dealt with in the book (concerning the sentience of golems, and their struggle to get this...

I always imagine a line across the bottom, reading "MSRV as shown, $34,718"

Wear thick-soled shoes, just in case.

While I hate to seem as if I am picking nits at a good post, this statement has been often repeated, but not strictly true. The amount of people alive today is roughly equivalent to all the people who have died since about 2500 - 3000 B.C., depending on how you estimate it.

I am a practicing Catholic, gamer, scientist, and teacher. According to Jack Chick, I may well *be* the antiChrist. (Don't tell my mom, though.) There are so many little things wrong with this piece, that it would be a waste to list (though some bits, like "Perhaps Hitler and rape are no...

I agree with your post. My idea of the best case scenario to come out of all this is that new publishers enter the pdf field, and market pressures push them into developing a new system that can be used. The larger companies will probably always want to use something, but I hope they find...

A number of the postings on this have seemed to start from the assumption that they would have to have the product. I don't have any animosity towards the companies involved, but if I'm not able to use the format, then I won't get it. There may or may not be less of the casual passing...

This is not a generalization. This is a statement that simply saying that DRM can be broken is not the same as saying that it will automatically lead to more piracy, or that it will not reduce casual piracy. It seems to be reducing casual use to a greater or lesser degree, as even some...

I have seen this, I know that it can be done, but that is not the same as saying that it will have no impact. Yes, there are a number of people saying that this is *making* them steal pdf's, but I, for one, have some doubt whether or not this is anything but a rationalization for what they were...

I do not think that your position is unreasonable. It is not that I feel that I am giving up "rights", per se, but any added difficulty or limitations on use affect what I consider to be the value to me of the item, which affects the price I'm willing to pay for it. Another in this thread...

None of which you were doing in the post I responded to.
