Reading God: A Brief History by John Bowker Reading to my girlfriend Equal Rites by, yes, Terry Pratchett

I believe they are lost (unless he can find someone to manifest Psychic Reformation on him). If he takes another level of fighter Hide is still a cross-class skill, alas.

True dat. Wheel of Time was meant to be a trilogy as well. I won't be disappointed in the expansion of this series unless I feel that Martin's writing has decreased in quality. For now: hurray! Already have my money set aside for it (If I can find it - haven't looked in a year!). Mark my words...

Greetings all! I have been attempting to stat the monsters from Doom for D&D and would appreciate it if someone had their in-game stats on hand. I believe I have their health nailed down (part memory, part testing), but it would be nice to check. Even more helpful would be their movement rates...

Excellent (and amusing) points so far.:) If I did not already houserule skeletons and zombies to a neutral alignment I might well go with The_Fan's suggestion (Kae'Yoss's is still a possibility:P). When I started reading the responses I realised how terribly inefficient it would be to craft a...

Ok, here's an idea: some kind of wondrous item (probably a headband) that places the undead wearing it under the restrictions of Asimov's Three Laws (What can I say - I like those laws. The Wheel of Time would be more interesting if Aes Sedai followed them). Off to the srd to see how that would...

Title pretty much says it. Looking at the old idea of a society where the people are willingly animated to to perform menial labour after death. But of course even if there is an unusually high proportion of clerics & wizards (which there probably isn't) eventually they will reach the limit of...

Sounds like you had a nasty surprise. :lol: :lol:

Threadcromancy is my friend. But so hard to wait for the present. It is? Sweet! What I want is Prime Directive d20 (based on Star fleet Battles based on original series Star Trek for those who don't know), which is happening (hurrah!). I would froth at the mouth in anticipation, if I did not...

I don't think anyone is saying they will still be flat footed after the readied action is triggered. Aren't they saying "If you attempt an action, I will hit you. So don't." And if the other party is going to surrender or parlay or whatever, they will not take an action (meaning they are not...

I know offhand one of the Culture ships called itself the Eschatologist, but I have only read Consider Phlebas and not for quite some time. You might want to check out the novels of Alastair Reynolds. He names his ships for paintings (or was it songs - got the idea from someone else whose name...

As far as authors go, I reinforce the mentions of Feist and GRRM. Apparently Feist played in Midkemia, he did not run it. And Martin's first attempt at running the Superworld game was a bust because all the other players were authors and picked the plot to quickly (so he says at the beginning of...

I don't, personally, see any problem with using dinosaurs. As far as I am concerned they are just another set of animals and I have trouble understanding why people would feel them out of place due to their origins. They certainly are not (used by me as) holdovers from some distant past...

Really? Cool. I haven't had any reason to hate the networks for a couple of hours now. Thanks mate.

Hey, I was paying attention. AND I got exempt from work that day too, on account of not being there. :cool:

I like mindflayers, for pretty much all the reasons mentioned above. Them and Beholders are two of the reasons I like D&D. Plus, we are a new group. My players (and I, with the exception of the first few of the cloakmaster cycle I received as a gift) do not read D&D fiction, they have never...

Oh, that's beautiful. And I don't have to add anything to my to-see list, "The Usual Suspects" being on it already.:D

Just hope you don't end up collecting any series that you later realise you do not like at all. Do you at least give them a test run before you start collecting?

Yah, I thought the pieces looked like the cheap army men I used to get in bags when I was younger. Coincidentally, the only game that got played with those could well be described as 'Lost.' I know of no formal use for them.

I loved Niska! He reminds me of my course coordinator. And who is this Keysor Soze I hear so much about? (I.e. from what, don't want any further description of what he does/did) Coolest: Roose Bolton is just about my favourite villain ever. Honourable mention to the usual suspects; Darth...
