Age of Frost: Grim, harsh, primitive in most places. Cthulianesque-themes starting to become more common. Lots of travel and exploration, mostly themed around the recovery of ancient lore or items of power in the hopes of ushering a new age of peace and prosperity if the Apocolypse doesn't...

Very true. Sunday morning mass is very ritualistic in its arraingement, timing, and calling of faith. Most people seem to think that going to church is simply sitting there listening to the service; few realize that they are active participants of an invocation.

I, too, see his view. Perhaps I just know from experience that I will pull the passenger out of a burning car and that I can take the heat of a dangerous military mission. But the majority of my life has been just living well, raising my kids, and working in the private sector. On the news, I...

Well, there's a difference in "fluff" in my opinion, being Fiction and Flavor Text. Fiction includes histories, backstory, plot, NPC backgrounds, etc. I want good fiction for campaign settings. Small amount of fiction in non-setting books is good too if it sets a mood. Flavor Text is the...

The most? At this time, game-play is in the heart of an African-esque continent, so I've used a lot of critters from Nyambe, which isn't a critter book but it does have a decent critter section. Second to that being races with Class/Level advancement drawn from various sources...

Donating to the Make a Wish Foundation. No, seriously... I was invited via my department head 3 years ago to one of their fundraisers, and let me tell you that I have never felt so far out of my league around a group of people. I sat at a table with a guy that, without hesitation, wrote a...

Well, I will relate this: Earlier in the thread I indicated that I was nearly done with Sanity and that anyone wanting the extraction should email me for it. No one did so. A little later, I indicated that I was extracting Taint and gave the same invite. Same lack of response. Which...

That's why I use battle-maps without lines and a tape measure with paper cut-outs to represent spell effect areas.

This is what I would call a well deserved kick in the arse... Be firm but merciful. This time.;)

My own setting uses the Shaman from Netherland/Bloodstone's Primal Codex. Not bad, easily tweakable (which I tweaked). One of the features I like most about it is the idea of temporary infusing yourself with the power of a spirit; Essentially, it's akin to a template that you take on and off...

Well, I have three "regular members" at the moment, and as thus... The first (who's game is PBEM because I'm not in Chicago anymore) shows his appreciation by sending me emails gripping about how long it takes me to reply. The second (who's also in Chicago but hates PBEM) flies down here 4x...

I second the recommendation of Bastion's A&A rules... To which, the answer would be Craft: Alchemy and either Profession: Herbalist or Profession: Apothocary depending on what sorts of things you want to make (both if you got the Skill Points for it!). I also suggest Craft: Glass if your GM will...

True, but allow me to bring up a point: If I'm transcribing it, I have it. It's hardly free if it's bought and paid for. Granted, some people might want an extraction for the sake of getting free stuff. But those of us doing extractions have obtained the material at standard cost...

Ah, yes... I forgot about that particular spin on things. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, too be honest, I don't draw any line to define "too much". I want my game complete, in-total, all wrapped up and packaged, and running exactly the way my group likes. However, there is such a thing as over-producing. What I mean is that about 3 months ago I realized that I was putting...

That's a pretty general question... What's the context? (i.e., you read it where?)

Well, I don't know what you'll find at the link William posted; I'll read it in a moment. I can say that to make my D&D games (and other RPGs) more plausible and in-depth, I have taken independant study of: -History, ranging from Paleolithic to Modern Events. -Science, Physics, and other...

Now, Diaglo, behave ol' chap. Look at his post count; He doesn't know you like we do.

Agreed.

Campaign settings that took D&D in different directions (Greyhawk, Realms, Al'Qadim, Mazteca, Kara-Tur, Birthright, Dark Sun, Planescape) instead of just further down the road in one direction (High Magic, Super Magic, Cheesy Magic... Oh, 'scuze me... I meant "Greyhawk, Realms, Ebberon", really...
