Well, I think I have seen a few references to "floating rocks". And there are some lands suffering from mystical plagues, similar to the Wastelands of Earthdawn.

I've still haven't read very far through it. But I did notice that it has sky pirates, which can only be a plus.

This is not, in fact, how I play it all. Sure, they will likely hear of the deeds of powerful NPCs - but normally long after the fact, as a sense of general history. The PCs will be too busy with their own problems close at hand to worry what a powerful NPC does a long way off. Of course...

EDIT: Double post.

I've elaborated on my thoughts and posted lengthy blog entries here and here.

Could he really? Could he figure out why the goblins are being aggressive, where they come from, and find out all their secret hiding places in an hour? Or is it more likely that he will only get rid of the really obvious threats, since he doesn't have the time to do an in-depth investigation...

All of these cost time - time he doesn't necessarily have. "I've heard some reports of a goblin tribe in the province of Asfalah attacking local farms. Look into it, discover the causes, and put a stop to it if possible. If it's just a minor population boom, you should be able to handle it. If...

How common are demon invasions in your world that that would be a frequent concern? And frankly, once a demon invasion occurs, fighting it back will be a major administrative effort. After all, someone has to organize the multiple groups fighting it, just as a general has to organize an army to...

Here's my suggestion: Portray them as overworked managers. Real world corporate executives, government leaders, and other rich and powerful people have time schedules just crowded with appointments. Their most limited resource is their time (which is why these people tend to have their private...

Buying the Wii and all the adapters I needed put a major dent in my budget. I'll wait a few months before I buy Wii Fit as well.

I tried the "Fitness" sub-program for the first time today. I got a "48" "fitness age"... Oh, and I think I'm gradually understanding the rules of baseball...

But in all of these cases, you have to buy a bunch of supplements to use them. And in any comparison between 3.5 and 4E, comparing the core rules is the only thing that makes sense IMO - because the core rules are the only thing that's even available for 4E. And I dislike having to buy up to...

The last day for submissions for the August Contest is tomorrow. So if anyone wants to win a $25 gift certificate for the ENWorld Online Store/RPGNow, you should probably hurry... ;)

The legality of this is rather unclear - some court decisions have stated that internet-capable PCs do not count. I listen to public radio stations frequently, and do not mind paying my fees for that. But after all the harassing letters I'm getting from the GEZ, I refuse to budge by paying for...

Since the d20 Wiki doesn't run under the OGL/d20 License either (it uses all sorts of D&D supplements), this won't be an issue - it falls under the fan site policy.

I remembered two other things I don't like about 4E: - There's no good way of playing creatures significantly more powerful than the human norm. I mean, it's not as if Level Adjustment in 3.5 worked very well, but at least you could play a lich or vampire. - There's no separate grouping of...

Dragon skin. It's so... smooth on one's own skin.

I'm beginning to have second thoughts about that as my setup is becoming more and more expensive. Still, I do have a rather nice 22" monitor, and if I bought a television I would have to start paying GEZ fees for it - and not paying them has become a point of pride with me after all the letters...

I'm currently running an Exalted game, so I'd like to chime in on that. First of all, Exalted (at least, Solar Exalted) are much, much more powerful). In Exalted, you can have a power as a starting character that allows you to parry a mountain thrown at you, and I've not seen anything like that...

Actually, I did both. And I specifically invited debate.
