I have been told - via the radio - that it's supposed to be Warren Beaty. Oh well.

My first character - the first I can remember at any rate - was a half elven F/MU called Celebdraug - it was Tolkenien elvish for Silver Wolf. I was really inspired by the demonstration character from the original Red Box (with the Erol Otus cover) - Morgan Ironwolf.

*from the sidelines* "Mirthcard! Mirthcard! He's our boy! If he can't do it no one....will!" Careful, there's a pun!;) Congratulations and well done to all finalists. See you next season.:)

Background: I've read maybe twelve to fifteen FR novels, including lots of Drizz't. I've done a little playing in the Realms (2e) and just generally kept my ear to the ground. Dislike: The rhetoric: like most settings, FR has its fanatical supporters. That's fine. However, I really object to...

Some gems from Australian Rules Football: "You can count Plugger's kicks on on one hand. He's had six!" "He had a fantastic debut here last week and an even better one today!"

My drow are very similar to what FR claims drow are like - ie. constantly ambitious, conniving and backstabbing. What this means in practice is that they tend to border on paranoid schizophrenia as a matter of course. Just about any drow that can get free of this fractured mind-set (say through...

My local library has the entire SnarfQuest saga in a single trade paperback. I finally got to finish the whole thing last year (15 - 20 years later). :)

It's not the system it's the players That being said, I think there is a particular breed of DnD player who Tracey Hickman (in that article) described as "forensic dungeoneers". The kinds of people who make Artax and Yeagar of Nodwick fame seem positively altruistic. It seems that EofN plays...

I guess bushfires are nothing new to anyone living in Australia, but I've got to say the footage of the firestorm on tv is like nothing I've ever seen. And now the media is trying to whip up a blame storm, because it's easier to report news in the modern era when there's a villain to blame. To...

One of the female players in my game wants to play a dwarf next for her next character, inspired by Gimli in TTT. She's even been explicit in saying that she wants her (female) dwarf to have a beard. However, this is a Shadow of the Spider Moon campaign, where all dwarves shave their heads and...

This may be a little too soon, but everyone in Canberra, watch over the next 6 - 12 months. Those tens of thousands of hectares of burnt out bush will be green again. The bush's relationship with fire is nothing short of miraculous. Humanity's relationship is more problematic. To all those who...

It's all in here baby! *taps head lightly so that hollow sound is not too loud* This was a real challenge and great fun actually. I write fanfic during my breaks at work (and often during my work at work:rolleyes: ) and I had to take the whole day's writing for this one. If you like this then...

A life in jars “Jars? Pottery jars? Bloody pottery jars!? Is this your master plan, old fool?” The pasha was clearly worn thin by the bitter siege, for his patience and insight were usually deeper. Alchemist Ibn Sagui cringed at his master’s shouting, frightened that, in his rage, Pasha Araoud...

*he bobs; he weaves* Bring on the alternate's match, a little "sidebet" to the main attraction, huh?

The ship was spotted by Aust. coast guard plane a week previously. It's likely that it was fishing illegally in Australian territorial waters - it happens a lot in that part of the world. Perhaps the crew abandoned ship rather than face jail sentences, confiscation of boat and catch plus...

Test of the Demonweb IV The earthquake didn’t last very long, but when it had passed my body was battered and broken and I was very nearly at death’s door. Moaning and peering through the dust, I realised that the darkness that had been blinding my progress had gone with the earthquake. With...

Alright! I guess I'll have to drop in at your website now - the depth and richness of your cultural setting is really top notch. Please continue to post, I'm hooked already.:cool:

At various times in various countries it has been illegal for anyone other than a noble to ride a horse. In the Roman empire it was illegal for anyone other than the Emperor to wear the colour purple. In many medieval countries church law could be enforced by secular courts of law. (the film...

Test of the Demonweb III “I hear something!” cried Tellara. “I hear it too!” cried Mark. “Coming from near the statue.” The whole company turned to face the statue in the middle of the chamber, with Mark and Tellara taking the flanks, aiming bow and crossbow in turn. As we scanned the area it...
