I want to re-iterate a point Elder-Basilisk made in his (lengthy) post, but in my own words. One act does not a person's alignment define... it is possible for good people to do evil acts, and vice versa. However, a paladin is held to a higher standard than simply maintaining a lawful good...

No. Again, you're using a straw man here. "Mean" is not the same as "Evil" (with a capital E, referring to a person whose alignment in an absolute morality sense is Evil). Hurting, oppressing, and killing others is "mean" under most senses of the word "mean" I am familiar with that do not...

True on all points. I wasn't trying to say, "publishers aren't following the 'spirit of the OGL'" or condemn those that don't. I was simply making an observation (that, objectively, most publishers don't gain much, if anything, with a tight designation) and making a speculative guess as to why...

No. There are many publishers who BELIEVE you should protect those things, and BELIEVE that their work is really valuable, and who are somewhat paranoid of someone else coming along, taking their content, and undercutting them... But looking at things realistically (at least, my opinion of...

Masterwork Anthology from Fantasy Flight Games - $5 for the breadth and range of material this hits is a great value, and I almost never see it talked about (maybe because it is an anthology with little selections from other books that do/did get talked about). And this'll sound weird, from an...

You're looking for "overland movement." Not sure of the DMG reference (you can probably use the index) but here's the SRD Reference/link: http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/v35/CarryingandExploration.rtf A journey of 1,000 miles by foot for a human (assuming walking and no terrain difficulty...

Posting one value? Probably protected by "Fair Use." BTW, a general rule of thumb (that I use when caught without my books), an NPC's wealth in gp is about 90% of the total XP required to achieve the character's next level (a 9th-level character has to have at least 55,000 XP to get to 10th...

As opposed to Heaven, where the cooks are Italian, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and it's all run by the Swiss? ;) I dunno - I like heavy food so maybe heaven is where the cooks are German, the police are French (variant of the "communist russia" joke...

To put the above in perspective, I decided to crank off the numbers for a city of 250 million (the approximate US population). Per capita gp on hand? A mere 13.8 gp. Total cash on hand? 3.4 billion gp. Single item limit? 340 million gp. Total chickens? 17.2 billion. (Consequences: under...

Oddly enough, it came about because I was working on figuring out how to determine salary demands for fictional basketball players in a sim league I was working in... I discovered that using (log n)/(log 4) keeps things from "blowing up" too quickly (to borrow a term I got from my math teachers...

The following link might be of interest: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=377430#post377430 FWIW, I agree that the rules are very broken. I proposed an alternative set of economic rules in The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art...

Yes. I remember MAG. My list (all mentioned already, but what the heck...) Master Tools HoHF: Gnomes Bard's Gate

I'm in (S.T. Cooley Publishing). Let me know when we get close to opening this puppy.

Good guess. :) Here's the little product blurby thing... As the blurb mentions, it's kind of a combo plate - a city sourcebook with an adventure thrown in... because it's an event-based adventure (i.e., relies on "things happening" rather than moving from room-to-room like a dungeon crawl)...

Hey everyone, it's that time again - GM's Day is March 4th and in honor of this, S.T. Cooley Publishing is having a sale. This year, we're having a "1d8-1" sale; each of our products corresponds to an amount you can obtain with a roll of the die. Here's what we've got for you this year...

Hey! That's my FLGS (I live about two miles away)! Haven't used them for long-distance shipping, but they're nice people, pretty knowledgeable, and one of the largest and longest-tenured FLGS's in the area. Most of their store is devoted to miniature-building (RPG stuff, while near the front...

Dang... ya beat me to the punch. Juiblex != Jubilex; since the D&D version has always been Juiblex, I believe Jubilex should be free and clear. But IANAL, TINLA. --The Sigil

Wrote a very long post, but here's the only part I think is worth injecting into the discussion at the moment: And that's why I deliberately avoided it, because you're drawing up a Strawman with it. You're mixing the "lawful/chaotic" axis with the "good/evil" axis here. Due process is on the...
