I suppose it depends on the company, but personally I wouldn't recommend a job consisting almost entirely of an extended overtime grind to a self-professed slacker. ;) --Impeesa--

I know this is going back a ways, but I wanted to add something to this.. Discover magazine has article summaries online, from 1992 up to the current issue, and subscribers can search and read full articles (including diagrams, etc). It's pretty cool. I've used it before, and that's not even...

Cool, hope you find it interesting. :) You'll notice the stat blocks use a lot of material from earlier Warcraft books - if you're curious about what any of it does, shoot me an email and I can fill you in. --Impeesa--

The salient divine ability, Alter Reality. :P I kid, I kid... Actually, the one I was wishing for all through my exams over the last few weeks here was some sort of always-on Hypercognition. Hmm.. --Impeesa--

Nifty. :) *throws puppy into furnace* --Impeesa--

Hm.. it's been a while since I've actually used my only really developed homebrew.. let's see here.. There's the Plains of Glass, a desert that was scorched and fused during the obligatory worldwide cataclysm sometime during the last campaign I ran. The Sea of the Void, the epicenter of the...

I think another word you're looking for is 'granularity' - the level of precision. For example, White Wolf's games have a very low granularity - the entire spectrum of human capability is basically rated from 0-5 dots. At the other end is Rolemaster, which uses a system similar in concept to d20...

The ancients are some sort of powerful spirits of nature. Think Princess Mononoke, although most of them can take other forms. Elune (moon goddess, at CR 92 there) is the only true godly being in the Warcraft world. The Titans are a pantheon of powerful beings who give life to whole worlds...

They're a bit odd, actually. There aren't too many of them. There are a couple new 8th/9th level spells, focused on the summoning of Infernals (demonic constructs, for those not familiar with newer Warcraft lore), and then a selection of 12th level spells. These are mostly intended for the...

So I picked up Warcraft: Shadows & Light today. I think some of you might like it - it's filled with NPCs and greater beings of rather impressive power. It also has the Eternal template, a CR +7/LA +13 alternative to the non-ogc (at the time of the writing) template from D&Dg, and 36 new epic...

Heh, me too. It's the only place I visit over there nowadays. :) --Impeesa--

Apparently we're the only ones. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned Magic in the title. ;) Thinking more on my incoherent ramble there, I realized I have done the same thing with non-combat challenges in the past - stonewalling clever solutions past roleplaying or thinking (puzzle) challenges that...

There's an interesting article up on the official Magic site tonight. They have sort of a puzzle theme going on this week, and Mark Gottlieb is apparently something of a puzzle fiend. The article itself is a good read, particularly if you like using a lot of puzzles in your game (duh). One...

http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ There's one that (I'm guessing) won't turn down games of any sort. :) --Impeesa--

Mmmm... half-illithid. You know what's cool? Half-illithid gold dragons. Those whisker-tentacle thingies always look so harmless, the players will never see it coming. And already being grappled in a bite makes it easy to attach tentacles. :D Also, Greater Doppelganger is indeed in Monsters of...

Actual conversation, paraphrased because I don't recall the details: Guy I played Rolemaster with: (plays RPGs) Guy from his workplace or something: (slightly hushed) So, I, uh.. hear you guys play with those RPGs.. where can you do that around here? GIPRW: Oh, just Saturday evenings at my...

Fourth year student at the University of Northern British Columbia, looking to graduate next year with a double major in physics and computer science. Maybe a minor in math, it depends how much more I can cram into my last year. I would mention my career goals to help give a better idea of my...

Hehe. I was talking to a friend about that a while back, when we were looking at some of the funny spam one of us was getting. One of them had the line "be ten times the man you used to be." This got us thinking - if the average guy measures up at 6" (plus or minus a bit, depending on who you...

Show them the line in the MM where it says "Advancement: By character class." Tell them that if they're going to complain about the rules, they could at least get them right. :) --Impeesa--

The beginning and the end, baby. After stopping in 500 years from now to pick up the necessary shielding and sensor equipment, to make the most of my trip. ;) Setting design, lightning round! Ok, time travel exists, but to avoid paradox you really can't talk to anyone important. Thus, it's...
