    Advice on what Kingdom of Kalamar setting material to pick up

    How much did you pay for shipping? I put two books in the shopping cart and it looked like it was going to charge me $10.

    The Terminator Paradox

    Awesome stuff. The OPs idea was great, and I think this is even better. BTW, the term for that is Ontological Paradox

    Warhammer RPG. Which Books?

    Aside from the core book, you need the Bestiary, and if you want to play a serious magic user you should get Realms of Sorcery. Sigmar's Heirs is good if you intend to play in the Empire.

    On Fantasy Names (Resurrected Rant)

    If he had just taken some pointers from this thread and changed the spelling a little to AAry'olha there wouldn't have been any problems

    On Fantasy Names (Resurrected Rant)

    Ugh, the apostrophe shotgun (scattering apostrophes randomly throughout a word) is one of my fantasy name pet peeves. A couple of others that annoy me are replacing the letter k with the letter q, and adding the letter h after random consonants for no reason other than to make the word look...

    Skills?

    Maybe the Flaw mechanic from Unearthed Arcana can ameliorate to some degree having skills advance on their own and PCs being good at skills their players don't want them to be good at?

    So will 4th edition REQUIRE an online subscription?

    Maybe you won't need more than one book/code if you have multiple players/characters who get online from the same physical location (i.e. you and your wife both at your house, your friend and his son at their house, etc).

    D&D vs Windows

    You missed ME. MAybe 3E was ME and 3.5 is XP

    Masters of Science Fiction, 2nd Episode.

    The story was by Howard Fast, who was actually blacklisted back in the day for being a communist, so maybe a little personal bias there? But that was pretty ridiculous for POTUS, certain death at the hands of the rest of the world or possible death at the hands of weird alien things? I'll...

    Your most treasured book? Why?

    A worn paperback copy of "In The Country Of Last Things" by Paul Auster my mom picked up in a grab bag at a used book store when I was a kid. I remember reading that book the year before we moved back east after dad had lost his job and finally gave up and moved us back "home". Sitting on my...

    How to get a world with polar seas

    Does it work for me? It provides justification for an endless supply of underground dungeon-dwelling monsters, tribes, civilizations, and mad wizards. Good stuff. Although like the poster above me, I'm not so sure about the equatorial rain.

    How to get a world with polar seas

    Yeah, I did want a hot equator, but man that is one awesome website. Thanks!

    How to get a world with polar seas

    That's sort of what I wanted though, a decent climate at the each pole with a vast mysterious desert wilderness between them.

    How to get a world with polar seas

    Meteor, eh? That could create the lower elevation at one of the poles, shift the orbit...and create a supernatural cataclysmic event for the superstitious natives to base their calendar on. Very nice.

    Looking for rules light

    I'll second Castles and Crusades. Character creation is astoundingly simple. Roll your six attributes, pick your primes (primary attributes), buy your equipment, apply and racial modifiers, and your done. 5-10 minutes and you're good to go. It doesn't have the vast array of options and...

    How to get a world with polar seas

    How would a world that was completely dry except for a large sea at each pole be formed? By my admitedly limited knowledge of how these things work, I would start with a frozen world covered in ice with the highest elevations at the equator gradually sloping downward to the poles. Cue solar...

    Down with Darkvision!

    Does it, though? Does a creature that can see you in total darkness see you any better because you have a light source? The SRD says "The presence of light does not spoil darkvision". I would extrapolate that it also doesn't improve darkvision. I would think the amount of light wouldn't make...

    Skill-based attacks.

    I hear a lot of D&D enthusiasts arguing that it wouldn't work because everyone would throw all their skill ranks into attack skills and ignore other non-combat skills. Which seems like an odd argument, since virtually every other non-D20 rpg out there has a skill-based combat system.

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    I doubt Office Depot would do it. I printed out a pdf on my own and brought it in to have them bind it, and they wouldn't even do that because it had a copyright notice.

    Who Else Thinks This Dude Is Hot?

    Kind of looks like Willow from Buffy.
