Actually, I had previously thought of ordering Romanian Lei to use for my games (exchange rate is absurd), but I never found a place to get it. I think they're switching to Euros now, ruining my idea.

Thanks for the WTC text. A bit disappointing, but I never really used Magic FX in DM anyway. I just winged it when a supernatural thing needed to happen. New name? They used to be Sandmen. I think the old name was better as a human-assigned name. Most people encountering them would not...

My house rules require that the priest be someone of your own faith and the services are never purchased with cash but in trade (not explicitly, but by doing things for the chrch) by the character who died. You can't go to the priest after the fact and expect a raising. On the other hand, if...

Tried talking to your DM about it? I usually coach my players on favored enemies when they create a ranger so that they pick something useful. In my campaigns, the primary opponents are NPCs so Humanoid should be the top of the list I tell them, Fey and Aberrations should be low on the list...

I feel you. I'm a Michigan native staying with a friend in California looking for work. It's been almost a year since I've had full time work.

I am very interested to hear how the WTC attack is mentioned in the secret timeline. Anyone who has the book like to share?

I must say in my dozens of trips to Canada, I have never experienced this sort of thing. And the rates have beaten all others.

I am currently in Chula Vista, CA, about 4 miles from Tiajuana. In the tourist areas, some places don't even take Mexican money (they're pretty rare). Most places prefer US even if they take Mexican. But the correct answer is to use your credit card for everything. When using your cc for...

lol! There's a good reason to at least change Pluto's name. A Solar satellite with the name of a Roman god might easily be mistaken as a planet.

They're boring and bad for the game, in my opinion. One campaign I ran, I forced all pregened magic items to include other effects on top of their enhancement bonuses. For instance, if someone wanted a Str enhancing item of +4 (32,000 gp I think), they had to add another effect to the item...

I do. I can't stand "Home" editions. Also, you can't take your Windows disc and put it on a new computer if you buy a box without an OS. I purchased both 2000 Pro and XP Pro. Caveat: I work in IT. The features that are unavailable in XP Home are too important to go without. Also, it tends...

I've been saying this for years... I've been saying this for years, but of course when Monte Cook says it people pay attention. :) I created a system that broke magic into three categories (it was a spell point system): Magicks: as many times as you want, whenever you want, no cost. Spells...

I would like to see a product like this, but with many more than 4 archetypes. The following would be useful archetypes Necromancer (with undead followers that scale with him) Skilled swordman Brute (in Medium, Large, and Huge sizes) Sorcerer (focusing on AoE spells and such) Enchanter...

So have the character make a Wisdom check...

Any RPG product that expensive had better be painfully detailed and extraordinarily indexed. Glossary should also be included. Player's primers I think should be a given for a setting. Without one, you either expect the players to know near nothing about the world or have to purchase an...

Couple of ideas: Infused Enchantons Dweomerlife

Unless your players are fairly hardcore puzzlers, I think this one might be a bit too hard. On the other hand, if that's what you like, then cool. My take so far: Seven sittings probably refers to the number of steps to be taken. Pure in heart may be referring to which letters in the word...

I am a hardcover person. I buy almost all of my books hardcover.

Sounds like fun to me. Not at 1st level, though. 1st level commoners are way to susceptible to random chance. One thing that might be fun is to make them really low level but give each player a few characters. Say, three commoners and one of expert, warrior, aristocrat, or adept. That would...
