So how many major actors have been lost in various tragedies? I seem to recall that Jackie Chan was almost at the WTC at the time of the attack, but the shoot was delayed.

I've still got 4 invites on one email address, and I've got 6 on the other email address I have. So if anyone wants one, feel free to contact me. (I've sent out two invites in the last 24-ish hours.)

Nice idea, but they've closed down the donations page (too many invites received, compared to the number of requests). Still, your heart's in the right place. (Darn well better be, or you have some physiological problems! :D )

If anyone wants one, I have probably a half dozen to a dozen. Email me at napamathguy at yahoo dot com if you want one.

Why not simply use the Spell Recharge option from Unearthed Arcana? With that, they can keep casting spells throughout the day, as the spells become available again. After all, it's not like a fighter has to say, "Whoops, I've done my third cleave of the day, guess I'm done with that until...

Wouldn't work. Bregan Darthe (sp?) is an all-male (with one short-term exception) mercenary group. They are trained to focus on wizards and priests, among other things. What doesn't make sense, character-wise, is that the BD are stealthy. They would kill off anyone as incompetent as those...

If you had been the one rear-ended, the best advice I could offer is, don't speak with the other insurance company. Let them get a copy of your statement from your insurance company. Last time I was rear-ended, the other guy's insurance company tried to wiggle out of the claim--using my...

I'd LOVE to pick up the Advanced Bestiary. In fact, it's been on order from Amazon since March. I found out it just was released, so I'm now waiting for Amazon to ship. They were SUPPOSED to ship last week... :(

Darn delays...

Sounds like bad tactics from a genius-level beholder. If I was running the beholder, I would: 1) have monstrous minions charmed and between me and the party (sure, the anti-magic ray might free the monstrous minions, but if the creature is dumb, it will probably still attack the party) 2)...

Question: The fact that (it being my understanding) Chinese is a word-based alphabet, rather than a letter-based alphabet (like English) or a syllable-based alphabet (like Korean), would you consider this to have been a stumbling-stone in the development of the Chinese printing press as a...

Actually, the diseases preceded the Spanish. They killed off the old emperor, resulting in a civil war, which ended just as the Spanish came a-conquering.

In one of the GURPS Alternate Worlds books, there is suggested a world in which the Chinese never gave up their treasure fleets. Some English pirates raided China, and the Emperor instructed his admirals to find their home ports. Cut to the invasion of Europe (at least, the Atlantic/Channel...

In the Book of Lairs, they had a beholder in a Hall of Mirrors. That could be fun. :)

I'm pretty sure that, near the end of the book, he discussed why Europeans conquered the world, and not, for instance, the Chinese, who were more numerous. He pointed out that China had sent out the "treasure fleets" about a thousand years ago, getting as far as the southeastern coast of...

As someone who has read Guns, Germs and Steel: Agriculture. The Aztecs/Mayans were not blessed with an overabundance of crops worth domesticating. Corn, for instance, proved exceptionally hard to domesticate (it started out very small, and the seeds were covered in a hard husk). The...

For the last six years, I've worn my hair very short--under a quarter of an inch, if I could help it. I've recently decided to let my hair grow out to a decent size. I was telling a female coworker that I planned on letting it grow as long as it was back in my senior year in high school (down...

Since my knowledge of dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals comes mostly from the big names, from the Jurassic Park trilogy, from the Walking with... series (and several of the better look-alikes), I'm going to keep my trap shut. :) Frostburn has the prehistorics, huh? Can't wait to see it...

Pretty much any scene from Trigun, especially when Vash is panicking. :)

I was reading the Return of the Joker thread, and started thinking about scenes I really liked in cartoons. In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (or whatever it's called), I liked the scene at the end, when Terry laughs at the Joker. Good scene... In Transformers: Beast Wars, I really...
