    First Purchase?

    As PDFs? None. As print, there are quite a few of Dark Sun, Spelljammer, Planescape, and Eberron items, as well as plenty of missed FR stuff, and a few BECMI and "Return" items. I would vacuum that up.

    how Epic do you like it?

    I like the full range of standard levels in d20, 1-20. 21+ is epic. Most individuals never reach epic status. Heck, most never reach 20.

    Knights of Badassdom

    I just watched the trailer and I'm going to have to agree.

    Borders Bankruptcy Liquidation

    That has been the case at our local Border's for for a long time now, back to around 2007 at least. Border's, it is sad to say, has been going downhill for years, since around 2000, right after the tech bubble burst. They've been reducing shelf-space and inventory, replacing their plentiful...

    Your favourite TV show and why?

    A favorite TV show? Current? Uhhhh, hmmm. Current TV is a vast wasteland for the limited channels I can watch. I guess a local PBS station's running of WWII in Color recently has been by far my favorite program. I'm a fan of WWII history, though. As for past, I'll have to go with Nova. (I...

    Borders Bankruptcy Liquidation

    Too bad there isn't a Border's around here anymore. Ours closed months ago.

    Do you take gaming awards seriously?

    I recall that the first edition of Ars Magica won an award, and from that I decided to pick it up, though I only found it by the time the second edition was printed. So yes, awards have influenced my decision-making for purchases.

    When to throw Nish?

    It is a neologism. When your first topic posted (the one from a couple of weeks ago), the title was clear and I clicked into it to read more. When I read the first post I was stumped. I realized you were replacing the word initiative with nish, but I could not figure out why. I thought nish...

    Whining & Complaining

    <high-pitched nasal twang>The world just has to work the way I want it and anyone who says anything else is bad!</high-pitched nasal twang> How I hate that attitude. Good riddance. A denial of reality type. Also good riddance.

    Whining & Complaining

    I was going to do a point-by-point response, but by the time I got to the end of your list, it just would have been too long. I'll shorten it up to say that I have seen many similar complaints. The most common is totally ridiculous complaints about the lack of one specific race or about...

    Palladium books?

    AR was a concept almost exclusively used for SDC armor. I believe if the d20 roll was over the AR, damage bypassed armor. Don't hold me to that exact mechanic quote, I haven't paid attention to AR in quite some time and am too lazy to start pulling out books at this hour. MDC armor typically...

    When to throw Nish?

    I was kinda wondering about that myself. I'm not sure what I am missing, as both topics were in the "general" forum: EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine > General RPG Forums > General RPG Discussion: When to throw Nish? EN World: Your Daily RPG Magazine > General RPG Forums > General RPG...

    Palladium books?

    Coincidentally, you picked up some of the better books. England has a wonky take on the Arthur myth that I did not appreciate, and Africa is a bit iffy (it's metaplot is world-shaking and if you don't use it, there isn't anything else), but the rest is pretty good.

    Scifi science question

    The force of pressure in a gas giant's atmosphere at any altitude is the result of the planet's total gravitational field exerted across it's entire atmosphere. Coming along in a ship, diving down into the atmosphere of the gas giant, and putting up a localized gravitational exception to...

    Eberron inconsistencies

    The wearing of the symbols and signs of the religion and the paladin's order, which would be blasphemy (not to mention spiritually dangerous) and illegal for others. Paladins probably take quite a dim view of others displaying their heraldry. While there would be those who would impersonate...

    Eberron inconsistencies

    It's contradicted later on. But this is the Eberron Inconsistencies topic. :D Woot! How is being big inconsistent? The game is about big giant vistas, vast possibilities, a big wide world out there of mystery and adventure. In a world where paladins are real, their abilities would be accepted...

    In Defense of the Theory of Dissociated Mechanics

    Before right now, I had never heard of this. This if fundamentally incorrect. No house-ruling is required. The author just wants to in order to create an explainable power-milieu association. There is a difference. The author then covers that exact thing, stating that you don't have to...

    Eberron inconsistencies

    There would be mass-rape and atrocities back then. The PTSD effects would be greatly magnified, I would think. I wonder if anyone has made a serious study of the matter. Did soldiers returning from the Civil War have all the same issues that soldiers returning from today's wars do, or was it...
