    Elven Flatulence

    Well yeah, I know what Beano is. You said you had one word for it, though. What is it? ;) --Impeesa--

    Elven Flatulence

    Well don't just leave us hanging, what is it? ;) --Impeesa--

    Races Series Collection??

    I'm surprised. They obviously thought the core book set sold well enough to try it with a supplement line.... and their first choice was Races Of rather than The Complete Complete? ;) --Impeesa--

    Things that make you go hmmm.

    Dogs are nimble athletes. Cats favor overwhelming force when they hunt, they just have a racial bonus to hide and move silently. That's my theory, at least. ;) --Impeesa--

    The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

    For the love of god, man - you're going to keep seeing things to improve and add until you die of old age. Finish what you have and save the rest for the Revised & Expanded Immortals Handbook. ;) --Impeesa--

    A Little Help with High Level PC Backstories

    They're all powerful heroes who've done a variety of adventuring and questing over many years? ;) --Impeesa--

    Attacking Squirrels in DnD

    You're thinking too much. Observe the squirrel: he runs 5-10 feet, looks around like he's afraid of snipers, then repeats. All day. Clearly, he's taking a move action every round and using his remaining standard action to ready an action: run like crap if anything bigger than a gnat closes to...

    Calculus of complex numbers textbook?

    Depends on your definition. Wiles proved it, yes, but using terribly complex mathematical techniques that came into use long after Fermat's time. The jury is still out as to whether Fermat's 'marvellous proof' even exists, and if it does, what it is. --Impeesa--

    When a player returns ...

    How long, game-time, has he been "off-camera?" Perhaps he organized a little expedition to recover his gear with some other allies after leaving the party. --Impeesa--

    How did guns change medieval societies?

    Well for starters, the annual number of shootings started to rise sharply, causing parents to call for a ban on Paganini's music (he totally made a deal with the devil). Okay, seriously... I suspect you'd be wrong there. Early muskets were like shooting a single pellet out of a modern...

    Monster Hit Dice

    Monsters also have all kinds of nifty "class abilities" to go with those hit dice, from breath weapons to regeneration, and so on. --Impeesa--

    "Games are neither art nor media." - Censorship push

    I don't see the fuss. Stodgy authority figures are well within their rights to decide what is art and what is not. And it's certainly the retailer's responsibility to control sales of the things that most threaten our youth. --Impeesa--

    Challenge Vader

    Heehee. I tried the same thing. He asked a variety of appropriate questions, like "Does it go in other things?", but never quite got there. Not too long before he gave up, he asked if it tasted good fried. :\ --Impeesa--

    Are there any D&D modules created soley for the sake of comedy?

    The sequels were mentioned, but Orc and Pie wasn't? :( --Impeesa--

    D&D Race Survivor -- FINAL ROUND

    I once had a dwarf who, after many months un-named, was given an ultimatum: no xp until I gave him a name. I proposed Nhonayem McIronhammerfireyforgebeardaxe. It didn't fly. Would he get more than one keg to sit on? :D --Impeesa--

    Great Constitution [Epic] Benefit: None, really. But you did fight that one monster that one time. That was pretty cool. Special: You certainly are. --Impeesa--

    Word Count?

    If you were able to log into my university's computer science department network, and then finger me, you would see a short listing of info: my real name, when I last logged in, whether I have any unread mail, and my .plan file containing the complete comedies of Shakespeare. I'm still waiting...

    Learn something new.

    Less obvious: You can indeed extinguish liquid fires with a firehose if you have what are often referred to as "mad skillz." I've seen someone demonstrate by putting out a large 'pan' full of burning diesel fuel (normally the pans are used for fire extinguisher training). He put the hose on a...

    What would your theme song be?

    My theme song, eh? That's a good question... probably Mike Oldfield's Amarok. Those who pay attention find depth and variety, the less intelligent write it off as weird and scary (and we don't miss 'em ;)). Is there a chance you have an mp3 that's been mangled after one too many passes through...

    A Realization (maybe an epiphany?) about D&D

    Two comments: 1) The original rules were for a totally new type of game. They were good, but far from perfect. Since nobody had ever done a game anything like that before, some rewriting and clarification was necessary to streamline the game and make it more playable as it matured. At the same...
