I'm coming up dry here. I'm working on a character concept. He's High Elven, and a minor noble. Can anyone point me to translations of a 'baron'? I can't seem to find anything. It seems that most people either think that baron works or the elves don't have such ranks. I just want a good...

Ok, so everyone here in the states is sure to be aware of how much MORE winter weather we've gotten than usual. I'm sure some parts of the states haven't, but at least here in the midwest, it's been pretty bad. A few weeks ago, my wife was scraping the ice off her windshield, when her scraper...

Hey everyone, I know this is short notice, but I though some of you here might be interested in this. The folks over at the Alternity.net forums are putting together their annual gameday to spread interest in Alternity. Tomorrow night (or today depending on your time zone...) will be a hosted...

Ok, I'm in the mood to share a story here. A month or two back, we were playing an Iron Heroes game set in Ravenloft. So I decide to go to my FLGS and see if they have a copy of the revised edition so I don't have to keep stealing my DM's copy and cross-referencing the 'net for the changes...

Happy New Year everybody, hope your respective winter holidays went well for you all. A new year, a new month, and now for the new books... I have whittled my pile of reads down, having finished the traveller stuff, and having gotten through the Silhouette Core rules as well. So now I'm...

Well, since its the middle of December and no one else seems willing to start it, I'll do it again this month. After jumping form book to book, I'm back to Jack Whyte, reading 'The Eagle's Brood.' Book 3 of the Camulod chronicles. Caius is dead, Varrus is old, and now Merlyn is telling the...

So we were talking earlier today, and my wife asks me if I recall a book she read. She thinks it was one of my books, but it doesn't sound like anything I've read. For the record, if it turns out we're looking for a movie, that's okay too (sounds like a movie to me). She says that the...

I'm putting together an online campaign for a few friends of mine, and I'm drawing a blank. Basically, The church is feeding everybody this story about a prophecy about to come true, and as a result, the common folk believe that the world is about to end. This is spawning a mass exodus through...

I guess I'll start up this month's thread. I'm still thirsting for astrophysics info, so I'm on to 'The Elegant Universe' by Brian Greene. Its less simple than Hawking's books, but yet still written for people who don't come from a mathematics background. I'm really beginning to understand...

I hate goblins. I hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em! I'm playing a 4th level beguiler/1st level fighter. I dipped into fighter because we are short a player, and I'm not as able in a fight to stand back and use my spells as often. Sometimes I have to get in and mix it up, and my attack bonus was...

All right, I'm calling on all of my geek friends and guru's here. I know I've seen tonites guest somewhere, but my imdb-fu has failed. It's driving me up the wall, who is he? He's playing the scientist who was working on cellular regeneration. Help!

Greetings all. With apologies to everyone who hoped that I would return and continue telling of Ghostsea, I've been trying to get back into the habit of writing. The last regular writing I did was back in December-January, around the time I stopped posting Ghostsea stories. I had just...

We've been short players for a while now, so I decided to see if my eight year old (eight and a half!), named Luke, might be up to joining in once in a while. Every game session, he prefers to spend time in the game room with us anyway. So over the past few weeks I've been telling him how the...

We're looking for one or two people who wouldn't mind the drive to Herrin, Il (my house). You have to be at least in your twenties, and we don't allow smoking or drinking. If you think you might be able and interested, email me at tolenmar at yahoo dot com. UPDATE: We have whittled our...

Does anyone know of a place where the modrons are updated to 3.5, including level adjustments? I have a player whose expressed interest in playing a rogue modron, and I asked him to wait until I could review the problem. If someone has already gone to the trouble, it would make my job easier.

Are there any good supplements that give us fantasy style cyberware? I have a player in a fantasy game who wants to become a cyborg of some sort and I told him I'd look into it. I looked into Etherscope, it has some cybernaughtics, but is based more on the modern rulesset, and I'm feeling too...

You really think I'm going to tell you? Go check it out.

I'm DMing a game, and I want to make this encounter possible for them, but not too easy. Suppose we're in a land of practically nil magic items. You cant go down to the corner market and ask them for a +3 Flame Tongue. Now, we're going to be fighting a Troll. We also have a bucket of pitch...

I've been working on learning this technique, and Im not terribly fond of the results I've gottn so far. Most likely, it just means I need more practice at it. But I got to thinking. How many people here use that technique? Why? Why not?

Ok, so a couple months back I posted pics of some of my miniature work. I more or less got shredded there. You guys really knocked me off my peg and made me realize that I had a lot of work to do to make my miniatures truly presentable. Thank You. I have improved many times over, learning...
