I'm up for anything that puts the Anthology on my shelf and my money in your pocket as soon as possible. ;)

I can only vouch for MonkeyGod's From Stone to Steel, which is excellent. Even if it doesn't look quite up your alley, at a good price pick it up anyway! It's well put together and is full of material. Nothing I've ever looked at from FFE was worth my time, and I don't own any of their stuff...

I've picked up bits and pieces here lately about how good these books are (mainly because of the d20 treatment), and I'd like to know more about them. Sure, I could spend some time on Google -- but I'd much rather hear from intelligent people who enjoy them, and this is a great place to do that...

I asked this same question awhile back, and if memory serves the answer was pretty much "not anytime soon, but still on the slate." Worth the wait, whenever it winds up coming down the pipe.

C'mon, you're all forgetting So I Married an Axe Murderer -- Mike Myers as the dad is priceless. It'll bone you right up on your over-the-top Scottish accent. ;)

Keep your ear to the ground, though, Tracer -- the $15 sale was really short, understandably. Joe's right about this forum being a great place for links to sales like that -- Krug is usually right on the ball with them.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, absolutely. :)

I agree, and I don't think I made that clear in my post. I'd say having someone to play Marduke in a pinch while glin is off in workingalotland would be good. Any nominees, g-money?

Maskerade. It's one of the few I haven't re-read more than once -- Agnes/Perdita is an interesting enough character, but the stories involvig her seem to be so heavy-handed by comparison to the others. Same goes for Carpe Jugulum, to a lesser extent (Igor and Granny Weatherwax go a long way to...

I used my 1,000th post to thank EN World for being EN World, over in the Meta forum. After thinking about it, I decided I want to use my 2,000th post to thank the five of you for joining me here, and giving this campaign a try as a PbP game. No irony intended coming on the heels of what Phil...

Good question. :) Complete Book of Eldritch Might Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting Fiend Folio Eberron Campaign Setting DragonMech I get a ton of use out of the first three, and the last two are among the most enjoyable gaming books I've ever read (and as yet are unused).

The spelleaters seem to calm down a little bit when Tuggle speaks to them again in Burrowing Mammalese. They stop pacing in a circle, and look as though they think Marduke is being left behind to keep guard over the (which they seem resigned to). Padding through the think dust on the bridge...

That is amazingly insightful and strikes me as completely accurate. Listen to her, she's good!

When I saw you'd posted here and not in IC, my first guess was that this (or something like it) was the case. Hrm. I wish I had some insight here, but I really don't. I can certainly understand the conflict -- wanting to continue, but having so much else going on that it doesn't seem feasible...

Cupric and Tal both scale the rubble and peer through the door. Left down below with Tuggle and Marduke "guarding" them, both of the spelleaters seem agitated. They get more agitated when Artemis climbs back down the rubble and takes all of their treasure -- both of them start pacing around and...

It's an RPG where you play intelligent rabbits, a la Watership Down but more humorous. For example, rabbits can only count to four -- more than four, no matter how many is "fiver." It's a deeply silly game, but its got charm and style, and it's a lot of fun to play. I love it. :) There's a...

My very own copy of the original Bunnies & Burrows RPG. I've wanted that one for around 10 years, just never been willing to pay $50+ for it! And I've got a nice spiralbound photocopy, so that takes the edge off a bit. ;)

It seems like you'd have to toss out the idea of translating them directly, and go with finding an idiom in the target language that approximates ones like what you mentioned above -- complete with target language cultural references. The product wouldn't be an "exact" translation by any means...

I'll run with it this time, but next time I'd prefer a list of things to apply knowledges to, and at least a few likely rolls to go along with your post -- I don't want to do all the work! ;) Edit: Thanks, tdr. :)

What a great term! I was thinking about this very topic while re-reading some Pratchett recently, and realizing that I hadn't read anything to challenge myself in quite awhile. But I couldn't come up with a better term than "reading for pleasure" -- this sums it up so much better.
