I'm very, very interested in artifacts and soul objects. Just the idea of no more than 4 magic items (barring one-use stuff) per character is music to my brain. This is the kind of mechanic that I'd love to adopt to non-epic play, too. I'm actually working on a similar idea - all magic items...

Yay for UK and AZ stopping! Yay for CRG being cool! Boo for no one else mentioning Alton Brown's cooking show!

I've combined the "stolen" and the "sentient ship" variants to great effect.

Everything by Expeditious Retreat (at least, from the A Magical Society line). The Second World Sourcebook by Second World Simulations. There're probably more that I can't think of...

Firefly has silence in space, no? But that's not a movie... Didn't Alien have the tag-line that implied that they knew there shouldn't be sound in space?

And now I'm embarrassed because I missed that firebird mentioned the Core. Whoops!

The Core is right up there with Dagger75's choice.

Make fun of my physics, fine, but at least admit that Alton Brown's is the best cooking show on all of television! SUBMIT TO THE POWER OF GOOD EATS!

Scene 9 has good stuff on steam cooking, too. Yay thermodynamics!

This is mainly for Alzrius regarding the elemental plane of fire doing less damage than lava, but I think it's totally interesting and keen. Lava should do more damage because temperature isn't the only factor when dealing with thermodynamics. In fact - it isn't the biggest factor by far. Why...

Reality check numero dos, this time from the wikipedia: being directly struck by lighting can often be not as bad as being near a ground strike. My physics teacher in high school survived at least one lightning strike (I only heard the story from him about one). He was far away enough that he...

Just a note on this - the only way to lose heat in space (a vacuum) is through radiation. There's nothing there to carry your heat away through convection or conduction. In other words - you're very well insulated in space. The universe is one enormous dewar bottle (thermos) - only without...

Right you are - on both counts. I don't think cables is a good measure, though. I mean, you still need at least component cables for ED (progressive), and the Game Cube supports 480p...

I just posted thsi over in gamers seeking gamers Has anyone else found it difficult to find other people to take advantage of the multi-player features of gameboy games? Are there any games out there that allow for multiple gameboy play off a single pak? Should I forget about multi-player on...

It has recently come to my attention that there are some rather cool multiplayer features of this game, as well as a sinfully easy method to duplicate items. And while I could mess with my friend's younger brother's Gameboy and save file now that he's off at college -- Hey! he did leave it...

I thought that they weren't making HD resolutions *mandatory* like Sony and MS, but that their hardware would still support them. I mean, there's Playstation 2 software (granted, not many titles) that supports 1080i...

Yeah, do tell! I love that book of templates. I should take my PDF to staples for printing and binding...

Sounds fabulous! Good thought.

The Gameboy game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance allows people to link up their gameboys to do some thangs. If one wanted to find local people with which to link, would one post in Gamers Seeking Gamers or in Software?

Oh yeah - FATE is an OGL game as well (though other than using Wizard's license, it has nothing to do with the d20 system). Here're a link with easy access to the Fate SRD: http://www.faterpg.com/dl/
