I was also thinking...which Renaissance? Northern Renaissance or Italian? I like the Northern Renaissance because they had some hella cool paintings and gives people excuses to use Durer's artwork. :p Given the awesome background material presented, I'd have to say that, yup, most people didn't...

Cool! We should arrange a meetup soon. Stay tuned, I'll work up some details when I figure my schedule out. Downtown? Where in downtown? My place is easily accessed by the 3 or 4 buses.

He led the Rel Astran Pride Parade last year, then was followed by the D4D (Dwarf 4 Dwarf) Bear Float. Like I stated earlier, medievalism is useful in D&D as a baseline "look" and tech level for people to work with, and to utilize the social contracts and arrangements of a medieval society as a...

For example, the mountain range known as the Grand Tetons (Grand Teton National Park): "The mountains were named by a French trapper who viewed them from the Idaho side of the range and called them tétons, French slang for "nipples" (presumably referring to the shape of the peaks)." - from...

That's what I like to see! I could imagine criminal organizations and the gentry "breeding" half-orcs for their selective qualities, or as accidents of fate in the slums ("I wonder why she insisted on keeping her veil on the whole time." "It was Carnival, I was drunk, how would I know???") of...

I simply had the opponents retreat according to their nature: Every orc for himself, sometimes tossing his fellows in the way of the rampaging adventurers; Hobgoblins maintaining an orderly fighting retreat; goblins surrendering to their new masters (third time in a week!); ogres retreating by...

I rather liked the morale rules and even had the 2E conditions for morale checks pretty much memorized (1st casuality, visible spell use, 50% force strength, fallen leader, etc.). Kept situations from being MAXIMUM BATTLE 24/7 REST AFTER ONE COMBAT. At lower levels (especially in BD&D), it...

Holy crap, that got me to laugh out loud!

I said FOR ME, not for YOU.

Depends on the skill of the illusionist, I would say.

Used to be for me a humorous dissection of just how silly D&D can be at times, especially with dungeons. Then it got all "storyfied." :| I suppose I check it out once in a while out of habit.

Must...........not...........make...."rusty trombone" joke.

That was my feelings as well. I mean, hell, in the Western world, it was (still is) thick with some mighty odd esoteric orders and subcultures. I don't see how having a martial artist monk can be that much of a stretch when medieval Europe (which people use as the basis of rejecting the monk...

Tangentially, Cure Disease really wouldn't matter against serious plague epidemics. It only cures the instance of the disease, not grant permanent immunity/vaccinations.

I see medievalism in D&D much like medievalism is used in much of the source material: Useful at the author's/DM's discretion, and best use as a conflict/adventure source and whatever detail behooves you to set up a campaign area.

Yeeeeaaah, Iuz and the Scarlet Brotherhood initiated the Greyhawk Wars, no, they haven't done much at all... :uhoh:

More of a Vitamin Water fan myself, but every once in a while...

OOO! OOO! OOO! I HATE high fructose corn syrup! Tastes horrible! Bleah! When I go up to Canada I stock up on Canadian Coca Cola because it's still made with honest-to-god SUGAR.

QFT! Waitasecond...

I was gonna say...that's a lot of readin'.
