He's a maverick skateboarding shaman on his last day in the job. She's a blind insomniac barmaid with the power to see death. They fight crime! This is too cool!

Well, yes and no. :) The Canadians were awarded medals days after the Russians, so technically the string has been broken. :D

The Fey from C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy. The gua-ould of Stargate.

Things like that are still required in the program(s), but the whole part of the competition where they had to skate certain patterns and such, which usually wasn't televised, has been removed.

Die Kluge, are you counting the short program too?

I too hate it when medals are determined by judges, however I find figure skating to be worse than sports like gymnastics where there are standard deductions that have to be taken for things like stepping out of bounds, etc. Figure skating could do itself a lot of good just by standardizing its...

Let's see... I tend to be more of a wallowist, but I do like a little rage and fun too, although looking below, I think I might be a bit of a masochist... So: Soul Asylum, Grave Dancers Union Disturbed, The Sickness Counting Crows, August and Everything After... Boys II Men, "It's So Hard...

I'm happy that my favorite morning DJ out here in DC used to play D&D. He likes to play the little D&D skit by the Dead Alewives every now and then too. It makes my geeky heart tingle.

Also remember that the Force User classes get better HP/VP progression than mages, a better BAB, get the lightsaber, etc. I think all that goes a long ways toward balancing them out, especially if you convert D&D to a VP/WP system. Or, you could have force powers do subdual damage to the user...

I think allowing channelers to embrace with a move-equivilant or free action gets to be a bit much when they have access to weaves like Arms of Air. They could easily end a combat before it began if they won initiative. Besides, even in Star Wars, where you can choose to use Force Powers...

Please keep in mind that a round is up to 6 seconds. In fact, the SRD says that anything that "can reasonably be done within 6 seconds" can be done in a round. So, round really don't have a set size, they are just limited to 6 seconds or less. They are supposed to be abstract, like hit...

I'm looking forward to it too. I don't think there's much buzz because Wizards hasn't really been advertising it. Any buzz we've seen has been fan-generated, much like Wheel of Time was. It seems to be their D20 game style, except for SW...

Check out http://athas.org. Back to the topic... Polyhedron/Dungeon can be found on the rack too. You don't just have to subscribe to it. Check out bookstores, comic stores, etc.

It's called initiative. You roll it at the beginning of combat. Whoever goes first will complete their full round action first and beat the other person to the Source.

I'd give whatever cost there is for the lycanthropy template. I'm not sure what ECL it would be, but that's what I'd use, since your character basically is one, only emotions are the trigger, not the moon.

It quite obviously means that you are afraid Ryan Dancy doesn't like you as a person, that you are obsessed with whipped cream, and that you want to live in Brazil.

Happy Birthday, Monte!!! I'm sure if my mom had any idea who you were, she'd be happy she shares her birthday with you. :D

How "realistic" is the game going to be? Is it going to be good for high fantasy in the modern age as well as grim and gritty? How modular will the game be?

Dude! You have an immortal physics teacher!?!?! Awesome! Seriously though, in a module that is supposed to be very lethal, I think it's kind of cheesy to play an immortal character, no matter how useless he is.

It's Fantastic But... Am I the only one to notice the didn't include the name and URL of the most important d20 fan site out there? The least they could do is pimp us out a little. :) BTW, Grats to all involved.
