I never read the thing, so no, I didn't pick up on that. :) Was it especially useful against springboks? Cheers, Cam

To say nothing of the joy of being kicked in the head by a giant moa. Back when I was just a poor game store manager in Auckland, I dreamed of writing an AD&D module incorporating all the coolest bits of Maori legend and folklore and having hapless outsiders (the PCs) deal with taniwha and...

Are you sure? Because the D&D Experience cleric was human, so you may be seeing more cleric powers than other clerics get because this is a half-elf. Cheers, Cam

Some of you poor frakkers out there in the fleet don't get outfitted by the military. And even when the Cylons aren't picking us off one by one, you've got the greedy, amoral, or just plain crazy people nearby to keep you watching your back. If you need a way to defend yourself or get your...

I think that's a very sensible assumption to make. Cheers, Cam

Most of that is 20+ years ago. :) The novels are ongoing (I wrote one myself!), and don't have much to do with the game products. In fact, the game products usually reflect what's been happening in the novels, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on what your POV is. At any...

Really? You didn't see anything intriguing in all of the adventures, modules, sourcebooks, and accessories we published for 3.5? All told, I think Sovereign Press/Margaret Weis Productions produced more content for Dragonlance than any prior edition of the setting. Cheers, Cam

It's about as much a conversion guide for gamers to the LDS Church as D&D is a conversion guide for gamers to Satanism. Don't be ridiculous. Cheers, Cam

For them as might have use for some smuggling advice, allow us to present a man who goes by the name of "Twice-Pipe." Find out what makes him tick and listen to what he has to say. It might as not mean getting to keep a cargo you otherwise have to dump in the Black 'fore that Alliance patrol...

This may make you the Barney or the Obelix of Editing. Best wishes on your career aspirations, in any case. You may be entirely wrong when it comes to justiciars, but you're at least no idiot. :) Cheers, Cam

It's possible you fell in the potion as a baby, in which case, it no longer has any effect. Cheers, Cam

I cleverly did not mention that she used to teach at the university level until we moved last year. She did that for eight years. But that's OK, you had no way of knowing that before you launched into your damning counter-anecdote. :) Cheers, Cam

Plenty of really smart people have done really dumb things before. I think your statistical jiggery-pokery is flawed. :) The shorter word isn't more widely used for the correct use of the real word. As you say, somebody made up a new word, and that's the one that's been bandied about in...

No offense taken, don't worry. It's only the Internets! ;) Cheers, Cam

17 years isn't really "decades." Now you're just stretching things to make your argument sound better. ;) I don't deny that Justicar is a word used in Vampire (prior to the recent revision) or, for that matter, that it's used in other places. However, I'm still pretty damn sure it's spelled...

You troublemaker, you. Cheers, Cam

I'm not denying that language changes at all. That's misinterpreting my position. What I'm saying is that, in this instance, people are claiming that it's OK to spell and/or pronounce this word incorrectly for no good reason other than "White Wolf did it" or "I always did before." In this...

King Arthur Pendragon (my favorite RPG) or any of MWP's Cortex System games (including Serenity, Battlestar Galactica, Supernatural, Demon Hunters, or a homebrew campaign using the upcoming Cortex Core Rulebook). Cheers, Cam

I think the onus is on you to prove that it shouldn't, to be honest. It's the same word. Why would you pronounce it differently? Because it doesn't sound bad-ass enough? Cheers, Cam

Yeah. It's one of the problems of having so much information available online—you can get the mistakes lumped in with the rest. My wife, who teaches at middle school and high school level, is getting really tired of kids using Wikipedia articles that haven't been properly vetted, or who use a...
