WOW those maps are awesome man. Keep up the good work. Darius

Taichi and Bagua The hard styles always end (after years of training in them) teaching some of the soft style priciples at later stages. Soft styles are like a needle inside cotton. They look soft but are actually harder to train in at first (for americans anyway) due to our fast lifestyle...

Greyhawk thread I just read what was posted in the last few days....I understand why it was closed. I must appologize, for in some small way I guess I started that argument on that thread. Gary I am glad to see you consider your body of work great. I agree it is impressive and you are...

Yes traditional schools in chinese arts do teach some form of weapon if it is part of their tradition. There are over 2000 distinct styles of martial arts in china. Tai-Chi for example only teaches weapons after you have been in it for a period of 3 years or If you have shown a 'certain'...

Hung gar ---is more of a softer style than MT. MT will get you in shape if you are not in shape...actually any martial art will do that. Please specify what you mean by effective or let me know what you mean by "hands on" approach to training. Does this mean sparring? Or That the teacher...

JeffB Here here .....i agree the more material we have to pull from the better. Darius

Wing Chun has these weapons: "Bot" Jam Doh Long Pole - Taught to Leung Yee Tai and Wong Wa Boh and is essentailly the Shaolin long pole techniques. it si actually called the "Look Deem Boon" (6 and a half point pole) Yes the Shaolin teach 18weapons and 74 styles to their practicioners at the...

To martial art or not to martial art I have been a martial artist for about 20+yrs and I must say that #1 Picking the correct teacher is essential to success in your art. It is not the end all be all for getting in the door to the closed door schools however. That requires skill and a good...

A famous magician once told me the best way for him to hide his tricks was to publish it because everyone would want to buy the book then it would just sit on the shelf and be forgotten. Many magicians are fooled badly by things they have sitting in books on their book shelves. My point is...

I did not imply that all the fans are rabid at all.... That is why I left it somewhat ambiguous because those that are big fans of Greyhawk know who they are. I merely enjoy the setting and will taylor it to my liking regardless of what is published. As a DM I have that option. My players also...

There is tech support for Grip? lol They are really bad about that i agree. Darius

Not to make a long post this time. My Greyhawk is different from your Greyhawk which is different from Gary's Greyhawk...which is different from ....ect.... Thanks for the input guys..... I agree that ANY campaign world is what you make of it. Nobody I know uses everything published for an...

Grip Vs IRC I use Grip to run a weekly online game. I like grip because it allows me to prepare ahead of time and I don't have to type in room descriptions on the fly as much. The player software is a free download but IGM costs about $20 if you can find it in closeout at the Hobby shop near...

http://www.castleblackmoor.com/ This is daves site and he explains very well the hisotry being a history buff himself.......you can also goto: www.gygax.com and ask the man himself...or if you can find Rob Kuntz ask him. Now as to your points (i guess i am not going to get any sleep tonight now...

I lived and did not memorize it ......but then i am currently tired. Mystera was named in the cartoon and later became the basis for the basic world. this was about 1979 or 1980. forgotten Realms was making the rounds about the same time and yes I rememebr that Mystera was a rehash of Blackmoor...

Mysteria ?? old ?? Mysteria is reletivly new .....not very old really. Blackmoor was the first world... Greyhawk was the second world created for D&D and was the basis for TSR as a business (modules all set there at the begining) Forgotten Realms was third or fourth there was the basic D&D...

About the Kurtz thing I have editied the post and put in the correct name...too much magic practice today (i am a close-up, sleight of hand artist) Gary Kurtz is a friend and all around awesome magician. any way....Fourdecks what the heck do you mean man? Allot of good information about...

Replying here instead of there ... I think it is a noble idea....however, I think Rob Kuntz would be the one to approach to do it with EGG consulting to get it right. I also know that might be undoable for Kenzer right now so my next best choice would be to contact the people who ran the...

I am game for a meet up there I have already pre regestered for Origins 2003...was also thinking of running a game or two while i am there. I know I will play in at least two. Darius

Just a suggestion... Try to modify something that is already out that has nothing to do with lich's. Kinda like 1000yrs ago it was as the module presented it. Rainbow Mage would work nicely this way and so would the old Tiegel Mannor (judges guild and had great maps). Are you looking ot make...
