I own GURPS Banestorm. If I had more time, I would probably use it as a basis for my own campaign. Unfortunately, two young boys and a full time job doesn't leave me with enough time to prepare my own adventures. I'm therefore "stuck" with playing adventure paths and organized play adventures...

The RPG news is my first stop on ENWorld and has been since the early days. There are weeks when I do not even come to the forums. However, hardly a day goes by where I do not read the news page. It is an important feature of the site and it allows me to stay abreast of the latest devellopements...

I have played neither. However, In Nomine was a translation from the French INS/MV game written by Croc and published by Asmodee. In the French manual, the tone was definitely humourous. When I read the In Nomine version, the humour was very much toned down. Being fully bilingual, I also tend to...

I always wanted to play: In Nomine Satanis/Magna Vertias, the original French version. MERP Star Trek (FASA version 7th Sea

I really like your stuff. I'll certainly follow this thread. Keep it up.

I was sure that it was Mentzer. However looking over the link, I found out I started with Moldvay and played with it for about six or seven years before moving on to AD&D 2nd and then GURPS and then coming back to D&D 3.0

That's what I get for explaining rules I rarely use from memory without checking the book first. :(

The animal companion rules are build for the druid and that class is used as the baseline. When calculating level effects with any other class, like the ranger, you must use your ranger level-4 to find the effective druid level. In your example, your bubgbear ranger has an effective druid level...

Congatulations. I wish you two a happy and fufilling together.

I really like the old parchment feel and the graphics of the compass rose. I also like the details of the roads, political boundaries, places of interest and the rivers. The labelling needs work. It is difficult to read and the smaller labels (for the places of interest) do not stand out. I had...

Connections between two mass-transit authorities are, in my experience, always nightmare-ish outside the normal working hours. I've had trouble with the South Shore TA vs. the Montreal STM, the OC Transpo vs. STO, the Quebec City RTC vs the Lévis TA. You mean the Alexandra Interprovincial...

Being from Montreal, I'm certain that you are :D I just wanted to outline that the language war goes both ways and is not only a Quebecker/French Canadian thing. Very true! I don't know how much things have changed in the area since the 1990s, but when I was a student at U of O, the whole...

Classical architecture was really popular in university construction in the first half of the 20th Century here. But starting after the Second World War, modern architecture set in and now adays, most new constructions are big glass and concrete modern things. One thing to note, if you are...

That's the down sound of the linguistic battles that have been going on for hundreds of years. I've had quite a few similar experiences trying to get served in French in Ottawa only to be completely ignored by the salespeople. Idiots exist everywhere :( As for the cost of living, I have been...

From the time I had a few foreign students as collegues early in my PhD studies, I seem to remember that there were papers required for the medical insurance and Quebec specific student residency permits, but I'm unsure what they were. You should contact the university to guide you. They handle...

That's true, and the windchill is often worse downtown with the wind tunnel effect created by the skyscrapers. :(

I grew up in Gatineau which is on the north shore of the Ottawa river. For someone used to the warm Argentinian weather, yes the winters in Ottawa will seem cold. Yes frostbite is a possibility but it is not instantaneous. A simple scarf made of wool, acrylic or polartech will get you around...

My mistake! Sorry. It seems that my computer doesn't understand when I tell it to copy a specific adress and paste it into a message post. Yeah that will work. :o

He has had a few credits since he left TSR according to his Pen & Paper page.

On the other hand, I have a couple of Ikea shelves. They are at least 15 years old. They have survived 8 moves being assembled and disassembled every time. They are still in use, packed tight with books. One is in my boys room, the other in my bedroom. They are in better shape than our Staples...
