Hey Jimbotheblack: Thanks very much! I've seen character portrait sprites from FFIV blown up to double-size, pixelated glory, but I think I like my original sized portrait. Hey everone: On the classical side, WETA played plenty of well-known pieces and composers, as well as obscure stuff...

My friend who's studying studio art and animation was raving about it, but I missed the first episode.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/265rtnol.asp Is this too political, or is it okay for me to lament the loss of arts programming on EN world?

eek! Gantz looks creepy. Of course, I've just started two rather creepy horror anime - "Requiem from the Darkness" and "Lunar Legend Tsukihime" - so I'm not sure why the Gantz previews are a turn-off for me. Oh for Anime and stills. Whenever I get tired of it, there's always live-action to...

I guess I should give my stock answer and point you to http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=66470 the challenge rating system the Upper_Krust developed for his unfinished Immortals Handbook and that has been published in Bad Axe Games Grim Tales. Just like everything, there's arbitrariness...

I think I underrepresented how much of this thread that I read, but I went back and read more and re-read other stuff, just to get a better idea of what's going on. Post 58 by Takyris was awesome, especially the last paragraph: I'm all over that. Post 60, Chain Lightning mentions how the Iron...

Two things on an unrelated note: First, a quote from an email I sent earlier today: "Damn. 21 of the top 50 animation titles on IMDB are from Japan. 12 of the top 50 are from Studio Ghibli or [in one case -ed.] is an earlier work by Miyazaki (e.g. Lupin III: the Castle of Cagliostro)...

I'm well aware that wikipedia isn't good enough, but paragraph 4 of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch) will have to suffice until I can root through John Hawley or some other professor's (or multiple professors') web-pages and books. Edit: Did some more reading and figured out that...

Sorry guys - I mis-voted from the front page. I'm really diggin MoogleEmpMog's arguments.

Yay Talinthas! Let's ressurect some good Middle English words while we're at it. I'm particularly fond of "queinte" as a euphamism for female genitals, which literally means "elegant (thing)." We don't have any 'nice' words for queinte in modern English - we have medical terms like pudendum...

Nowadays these other solutions are mostly mathematical game playing, too, since we've measured the cosmic backround radiation with enough precision to know the age of our universe (to within +/-200 million years, which is pretty damn good), that we are indeed in a universe with flat geometry...

I don't know Anglo-Saxon (for Beowulf reading purposes), but Middle English isn't hard. Plus it's the only way to go for Chaucer.

Let's tackle this in bits and pieces. Maybe have one person do one aspect of one paragraph at a time. Or not. But that's what I'm prepared to do. And I'll pick an easy one. Only there is no "relative to the origin of the universe" because for whatever reason (inlfation theory is still...

Okay - so what would happen if I allowed in my game for every "plus" of bonus to smack through 2 points of damage reduction regardless of whether "magic" is after the slash or not? How about if every DR factor you had right (material, alignment, damage type) negated a certain amount - say 3...

And best of all - it taught me the phrase 'sick-house'. As in "Everything was fine until Brock showed up and went totally sick-house!"

That's really interesting - can you let us in on the reasons?

I love how you refined Henry's system, S'mon. I downloaded his (or maybe I cut and pasted his post into a document) and I fell in love with it all over again when I saw your version on the immortal's handbook website.

I could see a paradigm where Charisma included self-awareness and Wisdom included awareness of the relationship between self and other. Regardless of which ability score you pick for bonus feats, if you really want to equate skill points from intelligence to bonus feats from another mental...

That's actually how I explained my like of anime to a non-fan once and it went over great. Something along the lines of, "I'm not an anime fan, I'm a fan of good film and TV. Some good stuff just happens to be animated TV and movies made in Japan, and I happened to get very interested in what...

Yay new poster! Welcome aboard Eva of Sirrion. Only one other person besides me checked "wargames"!? That's a ridiculously huge category as far as I'm concerned - I'm counting the WSIM and Pirates of the Spanish Main I play under that. Collectable miniatures should fall under that category...
