Other then Pathfinder, I can't think of any other 400 page books whose PDFs cost less then $30.

So why are you here complaining then? Irregular updates are not unusual in web comics. Arguably it's the base state of the art form, and in Rich's case it's further driven by chronic illness. Either add it to your feed reader and read it when it updates or stop reading it. Either way your...

I spent over an hour writing a post, but then I decided it was a waste of time. As long as the other party believes that humans are the special little snow flakes of the animal kingdom and that we operate on completely different rules then every other animal there's no chance of any progress.

Somewhat. If you mean the gear system in SC2.0, then the answer is no. It uses a mixture of cash, reputation, and looted prizes. Essentially, cash is used for day to day stuff and reputation is used for castles, armies, and magic items. Disclaimer: I'm still reading the book and this is from a...

Skill checks are d20 + bonus vs DC or opposed roll. The default is static DCs, but there are rules for sliding DCs. The clases aren't generic ala d20 Modern, but they are very flexible in what you can do with any given one. As for rewards, the game structure rewards the party far more for...

An English teacher who hates the Bard. Will wonders never cease? How sexist it is or isn't is impossible to determine without more information. The most likely reason for a man to structure the phrase in that way has nothing to do with sexism and everything to do with the relative strength and...

But are those words really on the same place on the insult scale? And who using them? What is the context and the subtext? A woman calling another woman a bitch in a friendly matter is a completely different thing from a man calling her one in anger. Reversed, me calling one of my old college...

You're looking at the wrong end. Derogatory phrase describing women tend to be harsher not because of any inherent value in the words (words don't have any inherent offensiveness). They are harsher because culturally it is more acceptable to insult a man then to offend a lady. The difference is...

This is the problem with a lot of the academic efforts on addressing sexism or racism or whatever -ism. Rather then addressing the legal, cultural, and societal issues and that lead to both de jure and de facto sexism, it spends it's time twiddling around with 'discriminatory language' or...

Another option for mounting is pressboard (really heavy cardboard). Depending on where you work, you should be able to salvage lots of it by looking for blue, green, or brown heavy covered classification folders. Failing that, pressboard folders and dividers are cheap at office supply stores...

I'm in a 3.5 game with all sources, subject to DM approval. I was in a second game, but had to drop due to a scheduling conflict with the restart of an old game that my presence was required at. I'm also running a SpyCraft2.0 Stargate game which sadly prevents me from joining the Pathfinder game...

Some were never returned by the Secret Service...

Well, two that came to me: Every time someone looks the cat, roll a die. Odd it's dead at the moment, even it's alive. Whenever one specific person (preferably the PC, but no neccessarily the owner) is alone with cat, it stands up, produces a cane and top hat (or whatever) and does a song and...

1d4+1 18-20/x4 isn't broken. A +1 Keen Light Pick in the hands of a fighter with Improved Critical (Light Pick) and the 3.0 stacking will do 5.6 points of damage a round, assuming 100% threat confirmation. The 17-20 you list, which would require some other character option, or something like a...

Untrue. Rant: If Keen and Improved Critical Don't Stack, The Terrorists Will Have Won

Yet you are advocating a world were nothing happens unless the player characters initiate it. These happen every day in the real world and careful studies have shown that's been the case for a long, long time. In the last fantasy game I ran there might be one noteworthy bizarre event a month...

Yes.

While there are circumstances where what I said is true, I concede that as a general statement it is incorrect under common law. My rhetorical point is still valid since failure to act can rise (or perhaps sink) to the level of a crime, and that inaction is still a choice.

Regarding the binding, I obviously haven't seen the Pathfinder book, but the second version of the Spycraft 2.0 Second Printing is about the same page count and uses this type (or at least similar) of binding and it's great. Lies flat, durable, not cracking or anything. I wish more RPG books...

And all of that suddenly stops once the world starts. That makes absolutely no sense. Once the PCs enter the game everyone else stops acting and going about their business until the players walk close enough to them? It just doesn't make any sense. The real world is not as static is you claim...
