    Martial arts-help me pick one or two

    I will join the chorus and say that its all about the instructor. The best martial art is the one you enjoy. Ignore the endless arguments about "Martial art X is WAY better than martial art Z!" Go with something you enjoy and, if you're lucky enough to find a good instructor, chances are you'll...

    Whole lotta lurkin' goin' on

    I've been a semi-lurker since this place first started. I only post when I have something to say.

    Call of Cthulhu d20 Preservation Society

    That's too bad that Nocturnum isn't that good. Where can I find the above mentioned scenarios? I didn't have much luck when I searched for them. The only scenario on Drivethrurpg.com that I could find was Shadows of Yog-Sothoth. Is that any good?

    Call of Cthulhu d20 Preservation Society

    I love d20 Coc. I've just aquired a copy of Nocturnum (is this any good?) and I'm thinking of running it sometime in the near future. I'm tempted to tinker with the rules, but I try to keep to a policy of avoiding house rules until I've actually played a few sessions of a particular rules set...

    Do You Follow Links in Sigs?

    All the time. Its a seriously great way to find cool stuff. Then again, I'm a big fan of cool stuff.

    I just noticed that a celebrity posts on these forums... or did I?

    I'm Andrew Branstad. Seriously.

    D&D Downloads worth burning to CD

    I'm currently working on putting all the various PDFs and useful files I've collected over the years onto a CD-ROM. 700 MB is a LOT of space, and I'd like to fill it up as best I can. Please give me your suggestions as to cool, must have stuff I should burn to my CD. Examples include favorite...

    Medieval Town Size

    Actual medieval towns were in fact very densly populated. According the the Magic Medieval Society book linked above (which is really a must have, go buy the thing!) a large town (which is where your population 2000 falls in the DMG) in the real world had a population density somewhere around...

    Helping out The Mad Irishman

    I sent a very small donation his way. I hope it adds up.

    [SWD20] Why can't I play a Battle Droid?

    I'm probably totally off base here, but I just assumed that the control ship basically powered the droids and had the means to control them when needed, but they were otherwise independent. This would explain the need for commanders, why they react to outside stimuli, why they talk to each...

    Encouraging folks to do more reviews

    I'm very interested in writing reviews, I just have a hard time finding / making the time to do it right. I have one review to my credit, but its no longer in the system because the product got updated (and thus my review was rendered meaningless). That said, I have two reviews in progress. The...

    The Tarrasque

    How did Freedom of Movement make the fight go easily? Am I missing something?

    Throwing People

    For what its worth, as a student of the martial arts, I'm most likely to attempt to grapple you in some way to at least tie up your hands before I try to sweep you. I don't think a tripping technique from a grapple necessarily would result in both attacker and defender going down.

    Sundering Too Easy

    3,000gp is well within the reach of all but the lowest level PCs. Why wouldn't every PC who actually planned to sunder get an adamantine weapon? In my opinion, its foolish to examine the PC that might try for a sunder on rare occasions (when trying to destroy the evil intelligent sword that...

    Sundering Too Easy

    Please feel free to point me to threads where this has already been dicussed. Does it seem to anyone else that sundering is far too easy? With an adamantine weapon (ignores hardness less than 20), and Improved Sunder, all I have to do is beat my opponent's attack roll once to have a very solid...

    Is Your Setting Pretty Much Earth?

    Don't bet on it man, its pretty flat here in Iowa. :p I'm interested in your world ideas. I recall a thread a while back about using different rules of physics in D&D. In a nutshell, how does incorporating Aristotelian physics change D&D? Where can I go to get a readable (to a layman)...

    Your Favorite Skill

    Really? Do you get actual game utility out of them (as in, you make cool stuff) or do you just take satisfaction from throwing some skill points in a non-combat skill that gives your PC some flavor?
