Well, for me, the lack of interest is that it took so long to come out that I went ahead and developed my own setting (which isn't even vaugely like IK). Had they brought it out when they said they were, I would have bought it, run my game in it, probably bought whatever supplements they...

Gnomes are one of the most interesting character races IMC. They covet knowledge and mental challenges above all the other races. They love puzzles, knowledge, Zen-style koans, riddles, the written word, skill, faith, doubt, paradox and contradiction. They embody the questioning spirit of...

Not as such, but the three main PCs are cousins - and one is an elf, one a half-elf, and one a human. The elf is enough older to have changed both the other's diapers, and the half-elf probably changed the human's diapers as well. Which is a weird thought in and of itself. jtb

Since we game only infrequently, I try very hard to pull everything together. If I were Dming more regularly, I wouldn't worry so much about it.

Maple candy has been around for hundred of years - take the boiling liquid froma maple syrup distillery, pour it into snow. Instant chewy sweetness.

Came down a hallway, not overly buffed, and up from a shaft came... "the Maker". The first beholder we've ever seen. Main eye closed, it wanted to use the other rays. Party spread out, rolled init. sorcerer came second. Beholder charms the fighter. sorcerer casts phantasmal killer. DM...

In no particular order: Robin Wood, human fighter/wannabe ranger (D&D) Chuck Omaha, human Ninja/rune weapon scion (Heroes Unlimited) Mark Simms, human super-thief (Heroes Unlimited) Lt. Colonel Frostbyte, mutant wolf/berserker/martial artist/demolitions expert/NHL hockey player/Air Force...

Absolutely, though I give them a bonus for good description or sheer gutsiness. I really LOVE it when my players are so into their goals that they are willing to sacrifice their character's well-being to accomplish them. Leaping down 2 or three flights of stairs, as a third level character, to...

Exactly. As a graduate of a college dramatic arts program, and professional theatre artisan, I have always approached movies from the standpoint of theatrical analysis and collaboration - I look at a movie and see the work that went into it, critique the actor's and designers, and so on...

I'm right there with ya' - I just now bought En Route, which is a print product made into a PDF after it lived its run on the shelf. It is OOP, as I recall. And I won't share it illegally. Just proves the point that people will buy print products in PDF form, and that they will be honest...

None. Nowhere in the game or character creation process is "handed-ness" defined for a character. Therefore, as long as you are not making use of two weapons at one time, and you are proficient in all the weapons you are using, you suffer no penalties. At least, that is how I rule it in my...

Purchasing? Probably not... I made a point of complaining loudly when Games Mechanics locked cut and paste on Swords of our Fathers, and this is an order of magnitude worse. Will I be signing up with them and abusing the freebies? Yes, of course. That is, if I can get their site to load...

You mean, like Move Silently and Hide are different actions? Frankly, these two things are really quite different in their application. Yes, they often go hand-in-hand, but the moves required to put them into practice are quite seperate. In which case, it is effectively like you did combine...

Both of these feats now suck. at least, they don't give as much of a bonus as a simple skill focus feat on their respective skills.

me too! IMC, the only available god is the God of the Sun and Moon. So, all his priests are priests of the sun and moon (obviously). As a side benefit of no real power whatsoever, they are aware intuitively of the exact moment of sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight in their latitude. Even...

Me too. I would roll my d20, add my bonus, and look at the DM. "Did I hit?" This for like 10 years. I'm surprised they kept me in the party.

The proper temperature for shaping a sword is somewhere between 649 and 982 degrees. http://www.selinafenech.com/swords/forging.html There was a peat fire underground in Mali last year with reported temperatures of 830+ degrees. And that was without forge bellows...

In the game I am playing in, our party is entirely dwarves with a few Human NPCs and retainers, and a "savage" human guide... The game I DM in is mostly humans and elves. We had a gnome, for a while... That went badly. jtb

And then they start on each other, until there is only one left... THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

So far, one, my character. Of course, we have only had three sessions so far, so I expect that count will rise...
