    Ancients Behaving Badly

    I was just coming to ask if the episodes had aired today. My power was out all day from a snowstorm, so I couldn't check. Glad I didn't miss them, but wish they'd aired for everyone else's benefit.

    Ancients Behaving Badly

    Doesn't look like those Saturday airings are happening now either. I couldn't find anything about the show's disappearance on their messageboards, so I've submitted a question through their "contact us" page asking what happened to the show. If I hear anything back, I'll pass it along.

    Ancients Behaving Badly

    Sometimes I think they determine their schedule completely at random. Or else there are factions and constantly shifting alliances within the scheduling department, and whenever a new faction comes into power they junk the old faction's schedule and favored programming. I hear you about the...

    Ancients Behaving Badly

    The Julius Ceasar one already aired, or at least the schedule in my cable box said it did. I missed it, and the middle of the night Sunday/early Monday repeat that let me catch the Atilla the Hun episode didn't happen for the Ceasar one. As far as I know though, none of the other episodes have...

    Real Life Stuff That's Ripe for Inspiration

    Yeah, comprehension failure there on my part. Somehow I didn't connect the OP's mention of lead with the lead poisoning from the wine. I'd noticed Ancients Behaving Badly had disappeared. Hope it comes back, along with The Universe, which was chock full of weird-cool space stuff to use in...

    Real Life Stuff That's Ripe for Inspiration

    The History Channel sounds like it would be a great resource for you. The newish series called "Ancients Behaving Badly" immediately springs to mind. I've seen one about Caligula and another about Atilla the Hun. There's one about Julius Caesar that I haven't managed to catch yet. The Caligula...

    Game where cloaks are relevant?

    Cool post. I love the way you evoke the flavor of your childhood imagination. To answer the question, I haven't seen any games like that. But I can imagine ways to add a mechanical aspect to D&D. Such as small circumstantial bonuses to skill checks like Hide or Disguise when wearing a cloak...

    Unexpected Renaissance Music Find...

    Another good source for this type of music is Cantaria. They have a very small selection of songs from 1600 and earlier, but a lot of the stuff that was made later has a Medieval feel to it. Many of their songs have full or partial MP3s available for download. Another way to search for this...

    SWSE Playtest -- Help

    The first episode of Dawn of Defiance comes highly recommended by a lot of folks. It's available for free download at WotC's Star Wars site. I'm not sure the module could be played completely through within a single 5-6 hour session though. I don't know what levels they're for, but RobShanti...

    PCGen: How To Choose Expert Class Skills?

    Thanks! I distinctly remember looking at the class abilities sub-tab before and it showed Rogue abilities even though the character I was working on had 1 level in Expert and never had any Rogue levels added.

    PCGen: How To Choose Expert Class Skills?

    I'm running PCGen 5.16.1 on XP SP3. I'm trying to make an Expert class NPC for D&D 3.5, but can't find where to choose which skills are class skills. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Has Scott's replacement been announced?

    For comparison's sake, when WotC's Star Wars brand manager left, it was a week between when she posted her goodbye message to the Wizards forums and when her replacement posted his hello message. Of course they probably have the luxury of taking more time with D&D, since with D&D they don't...

    How Do I Earn More XP?

    I think Experience Points just replaced Money as the root of all evil.

    Who the Hell is Erik Mona?

    A very enjoyable read. Reminded me much I used to anjoy Erik's editorials in Dungeon. So now Erik I'm wondering if that BBS post had anything to do you being chosen to work on FR's Faiths & Pantheons. "So Mona knows all about deities does he? Put him to work statting up all those FR gods for us...

    Bad ideas in gaming

    I get that a lot on messageboards. I think it's because of my accent. Oh, and Coyote6 has a very valid point. Although I do see a lot of power creep in Atoms. To take the most egregious example, look at the rules for splitting atoms versus the rules for splitting rocks. Massive power up for...

    Bad ideas in gaming

    I'll argue that RPT was actually a worse idea than Stone. For one thing the diversity of allowing players the choice of both mineral and vegetable PCs precludes many campaign concepts such as the ever-popular "Defend your quarry from invasion by humans filming an episode of Doctor Who"...

    wizards forums are up

    I poked around the most likely places over there that would have an answer to this and didn't find anything. In fact most posts I saw asking for any kind of technical help have been met with complete silence. I did find a customer service phone number for people who can't log in...

    wizards forums are up

    Probably their plan all along. If you're wearing your tinfoil gloves you can't type out teh 3v!l tr00th about them, and when your hat of d02 keeps falling in front of your eyes, you can't read about it either.
