Forced myself to finish Legends II today, so far most of the new (to me) authors in that collection will be avoided in the future - I can say it was worth the price because it has saved me many future dollars. Two stories not read in that collection are Tad Williams' (haven't read Otherland yet...

You had to go and mention the song. Sigh. Maybe if I hum it will go away. In related news, the Universe's system looks very useful. Not immediately so, but... ah, there it is. You have just provided the final piece of inspiration needed to turn a one-off D20 Future adventure into a full-blown...

Would have been Narnia or The Hobbit, both being read to a class in primary school (the Hobbit would have been sitting with an older class). Read my father's collections of Asimov Robot/Foundation/Empire stories and H.G. Wells stories (This is two seperate volumes of stories), given the Hobbit...

Well, I consider myself an unashamed fan and promulgator of Reynolds' work so yes. But perhaps I am a little biased ;) I don't want to actually say anything about the books themselves for fear of giving spoilers though, so if you want more than just an opinion, perhaps it would be possible to...

Hmm, top of the head, no particular order and with minimal spoilers (except that the names will be spoilers themselves, to a point): Hobb's Farseer Trilogy The Lord of the Rings Redemption Ark. Not the end of the whole story but once I was done I spent the next year wondering if that was...

Thanks haiiro, thought I might have been going crazy. Just reread the book, turns out I was mistaken - the comment is actually that silence is something gotten right, it is the invisibility of lasers in battle that is mistaken. But to an extent, yes, sound can in a sense be transmitted in space...

I think so too. Edit - et al? What else do you think that should be applied to? Kelleris: Interesting and I like it (both paragraphs), though the first is not really suitable for what I am going for. (See this thread). Second suggestion is under consideration. Orichin: Thanks Do you mean the...

Glad I couldn't resist reading that, it was in the first episode shown. I especially liked the second guy's reaction to it. :cool: What episode # is it in the DVDs? Pielorinho: I have been trying to track down the exact quote for ages (i.e. have not even looked in the past few months to get it...

That is true (Though lack of a strength bonus might become a pain against the tougher monsters [But perhaps they are meant to be painful? ;) ). And of course Holy, Silver, whatever bullets are to be encouraged but it remains that in 3.5 DR is overcome in many cases by damage type (i.e. Slashing...

If I understand it correctly (no guarantee that I do), you never owned the games you paid for. The software is just leased and the disk is the real packaging. I'm curious whether companies would be within their rights to revoke your right to play the game as soon as you click 'I agree' but...

Sorry if I wasn't clear, my impressions of the show itself were positive. Disappointment came from realising that we were getting the out-of-order pilotless treatment Fox gave. Another comment: the captain (I haven't learned their names yet, except that I am presuming the doctor's sister is the...

Good to know the local network's keeping its commitments. Last I heard, about a year ago, was that it wouldn't be shown since it was cancelled in the U.S. Thoughts after two episodes: Good show. Pretty. Easy to why it is called 'Firefly' class. The Alliance officers look like Imperial officers...

Soliciting suggestions for how to handle ballistic damage against D&D foes. Strictly speaking it does not overcome any DR on its own (hence the posting in House Rules) but I am sure if D20 Modern used 3.5 rules the situation would be different. Anyway, currently I am inclined to rule that it...

Those phobias certainly sounded more fun than a straight penalty. If anyone would care to give a rundown of how they worked... ? Normally I wouldn't ask, but since they seem to be ditching it, well.

Oh dear. Couldn't they have put it out any earlier? Irksome to start an ocean floor campaign when something like that comes out shortly after.:p Perhaps by then I can afford it.

My lil sis has a dwarf bard who goes by the name Miranda. That's unusual because his parents named him Cyrus. Bit of an imprinting problem there, raised by merfolk, thinks he's a mermaid. Her ambition seems to be for him to drown. Two sidenotes, there's also a Nicodemus in the group (bladeling...

Ooh, Laton. I knew there was someone cool in that series but all I could remember was that awful, awful Quinn Dexter. The Night's Dawn is a good series if you like sci-fi characters and I hereby nominate Alkad Mzu to the list. Can you tell I like my characters competent? And since Malazan...

I've heard there are a couple from the U.S.A. too, but I haven't seen any around.

Can't resist - go-go dancer? What is that? Well, pirate is more of a sideline to the rock star/forensic bit. She's been pretty consistent so far this year. Still, I ain't holding my breath. Everyone thought the idea that she might be pulling my leg was pretty funny.

Fair enough
