Wargame rules do not necessarily have anything to do with reality. A Roman Legion had a dog company, fighting dogs were a part of a medieval knight's equipment. The Conquistadors made extensive use of armored attack dogs as well.

Considering that the side saying this hurts stores has no evidence to support it, and the other side has the statements regarding the volume of ebook versus paper sales and the example of Baen Books who gives massive amounts of their catalog away for free as ebooks and sells the same ebooks at...

No character in a TSR/WotC published novel, novella, short story, module, source book, or other source can be a Mary Sue. No matter how much you dislike them. None of these works are fan fiction, so it is impossible for any character in them to be a Mary Sue.

Yes. Guns. The classical and medieval world both fielded large formations of war trained dogs in armor.

I'd define a rules exploit as something that doesn't make sense until you spend five minutes explaining the math and rules that allow and still seems it shouldn't work that way in the game system.

Then the third? The events covered in the Scro module series. It's been a long time. But none of them were world changing cataclysms. Spelljammer was just too big for that, really. Luckily the novels never were turned into modules though.

There was the Second (Third?) Inhuman War and the Vodynai(?) incident. Both of which were adventure series which lead to some mention of them and their stuff in War Captain's Companion and a few other places, but they didn't really lead to any major changes in Spelljammer. All they really caused...

Yes. You can lift the XP reward philosophy from Spycraft 2.0, for instance. The players get XP for the first (or first group) of an antagonist NPC the players interact with and overcome (kill, knock out, bypass, whatever) per 'mission' (DM adjudication required). The lion's share of XP however...

Well, I' recommend giving Spycraft 2.0 a look. It is d20, but it's not really like D&D or d20 Modern. Point by point: 1. About 65/35 average, Combat to RP. We like RP and can get in to it but need our combat and action. Combat's a big part, and it's set up to give non-combat type characters...

It's just a game, I should really just relax.

Actually, my first thoughts related the tendency to avoid declaration issues by putting all the open stuff in one set of chapters and all the closed stuff in another resulting in larger books due to the increased textual and layout demands and occasionally having crunch content in different...

And frozen pizzas, cheeseburgers, kebabs, Cadbury eggs, haggis, and anything else that can't defend itself. ;)

It's also the only place I know of where they will batter and deep fry everything.

Personally I found the 2.0 classes work much better, partly because they don't pidgeon-hole you as much.

It happened a good bit actually. The druid, for instance. The Duke for another. People didn't listen to them because they were powerful or because they were the chosen of the Gods, they followed them out of respect and admiration. That's actually part of the point of the novel. Elizabeth Moon...

I more or less agree with this, which is a large part of why I allow the alternate Paladins in UA. Paladins of CG, CE, and LE make certain amount of sense. One of the most fun my game's had involved a Paladin of Freedom (CG) with issues with authority. :)

I own all the hard copy books and have been running a game, first in SC1.5 (the SG-1 RPG) and SC2.0. The books are very well done. The good news (sort of, anyway) is that AEG put the core book and one of the source books up on DrivetThruRPG. It's only sort of good nes because they're mediocre...

I can typically only find clothes worth wearing and suitable for work in specialty shops, which sometimes have comparable tag prices, but almost never have the sales that their 'normal' size stores have. The major problem isn't my waist, but my waist and height combined. Normal stores around...

I'm similar, over 350lbs, around 6'3" with a 33" inseam and wear a 13 EE shoe. All my clothes cost more. Sometimes a lot more. I don't complain that it's unfair. When you buy a Mac you're choosing to pay more for a boutique machine with more limited hardware and software options. This is true...

Only deters those who would deter themselves. I'd rate this more on the "Show Hasbro we're doing something aggressive about this." category.
