It's because the "pH" characters turned out to be... Basic. That's a chemistry joke, y'all.

As other people have said, they do not get the bonus feat that humans receive. I've heard similar arguments, mostly from people who (understandably) confused "racial traits" (i.e. the various mechanics specific to each race, such as humans getting a bonus feat, dwarves getting a skill bonus to...

I'm mostly curious about how the new edition would interface with some of the alternative subsystems for economics and governance from issue #3 of the Axioms (affiliate link) supplement.

How compatible is ACKS II with the previous edition? Is there a conversion guide anywhere?

High heels definitely have a place in the game; according to Macho Women with Guns d20, they give female characters a +1 bonus to Charisma, albeit with a -5 foot penalty to speed and being unable to sprint. There are plenty of builds that can help with. Oh, and since Poe's Law is a thing:

If you have the urge to rage-post about how everyone who disagrees with you are haters, and you're going to get some sort of symbolic revenge on them by spending money on and evangelizing for the things you think those people wouldn't like, my advice is the following: Re-read this thread's...

No, I think @Crimson Longinus has a point even without art having mechanics.

This is making me nostalgic for the days when elves, dwarves, etc. were all known as "demihumans."

It also had a web enhancement that contained a surprisingly large amount of extra material, and it received an unexpectedly large 3.5 conversion PDF as well. You can find both at the Ghostwalk entry on the TSR Archive.

"A bit"?

Krisp summarizes the video as follows: Introduction and Commute Discussion The conversation opens with a light-hearted remark about the interview, indicating that the speakers are delighted to be back together. The ease of commuting from their location to Burbank is humorously contrasted with...

And it's live! :D I just pledged, and can't wait to see the final product! EDIT: The page looks good to me, though of course I jumped immediately to pledging rather than giving it a once-over. :P

The entire presumption that "if you portray something evil in your work of creative fiction, and don't issue a disclaimer about how you don't agree with it, then you're endorsing it" is an incredibly toxic idea that has inexplicably become the default presumption for a particularly vocal...

Have you ever been burned out on a game that you've never even played before, because of that one person who just won't shut up about how it's the greatest and most incredible thing ever invented, and does everything so much better than those other games, and is all-too-happy to provide you with...

I just finished reading Fritz Leiber's Swords and Deviltry, and came away suitably impressed. Notwithstanding the exceptionally short stories that I read last year, this was my first read-through of The Twain's exploits (though they're never called that in this book), despite being familiar...
