    Getting Your Comrade's Body from the Ocean Floor

    I'm not sure what spell you would use, but the pressure would kill both PCs at 2,000 feet. Maybe something that converts your body to an impervious substance, or maybe something that simply creates a protective shell around them.

    Has anyone tried Grim-n-Gritty Hit Point and Combat Rules, Version 4.0

    GnG Rules For those of you looking for them, the GnG 3.2 (last major free version) and Revised & Simplified versions are located here: http://www.grim-n-gritty.com/documents/index.cfm?type=general As a DM who's been running a GnG 3.2 campaign for two years, I can say that I really appreciate...

    Firefly - I just don't get it

    I think reveal had a very good original point - the show just isn't grabbing him like he thought it would. If I were in the same situation I would probably be asking the same question. Where the thread's gone awry is the opportunistic bashing that inevitably gets attached to conversations like...

    So did you like Stealth?

    Haven't seen it and likely won't (in theatres), but for those interested there's a hilarious review on JoBlo.com. Warning, the review basically gives out the entire plot of the movie. So consider it spoiler-laden. If you've already seen the film or don't plan to it's a good read...

    The New Glen Cook Book

    Excellent, thanks for the nudge to the Dread Empire series. I've been trying to track down the books at my local used book stores, but it looks like I'm going to have use Powell's or Half to get them. I was just going on faith that they would be as good as the Black Company.

    Terry Pratchett doesn't like JK Rowling

    I'm with JD on this - it's much ado about nothing. The Potter books are extremely well written, accessible and entertaining. If they're not your thing that's fine, but her novels stand up to the hype. I've read hundreds of fantasy novels - including the 'classics' - and Rowling's books...

    The New Glen Cook Book

    Loving it thus far... I had been wondering if anyone else had taken a look at it... I'm about 2/3 of the way through Tyranny of the Night right now, and am absolutely riveted. However, the first third of the book is difficult to get through. This is not like Glen's Black Company series, where...

    [OotS] "Stop oppressing my culture..."

    That's what I figured, just wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. I ready the first 150 in a day, so some detail may have been lost in the process.

    Player Ostracism: Advice Needed

    I'm hardly qualified to comment, but I think that honestly might be the best policy in this case. Let Spud know about the game (he'll find out anyway), let him know that he's not invited, and let him know why. I think it's lousy that people can't be upfront about how they feel about his...

    [OotS] "Stop oppressing my culture..."

    Got a good laugh out of that. I've read them all am still confused about the paladin, however. Who sent her?

    Every god in D&D...ever

    Okay, here's a quick demo at : http://www.grim-n-gritty.com/extras/godForm.cfm The interface is barebones, just select something from a drop box and hit Submit - you'll get all matches for that selection. You can combine selections, like "Goddess" and "Chaotic Evil" will give you all Chaotic...

    Every god in D&D...ever

    *chuckle* I prefer PHP for web pages, but CF is my primary language. This was all about speed and getting the data where I could play with it. I've sent an email your way, we can take all of this nerd talk off-board now ;)

    Every god in D&D...ever

    Cool! Clueless, I'll email you the steps I took and the code. I had to render the document down to an .rtf and do some whitespace cleanup, but everything else should be evident. I wrote it in ColdFusion so the logic is directly portable to PHP. If you could get permission to host and a RDBM...

    Every god in D&D...ever

    Database Version Heh, the first thing I did on Saturday morning is write a text file parser for the document and rip it into a relational database. I haven't had much time since to work on a decent search form, but if anyone is interested let me know. If that's the case I'll put it on a public...

    What monster should I use?

    Consider your options as whole categories - what would (or could) exist in a long dead city? Undead Constructs Squatters Scavengers Undead don't work for you, and that's cool. Honestly, populating every forgotten ruin with undead gets monotonous. Constructs could be a lot of fun - at 7th...

    Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

    *chuckle* Was this a TPK? Looks like a hell of an encounter.

    Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

    I saw the 'Interpreter' a couple of weeks ago and kinda liked it. One of the more poignant scenes was the reading of a sort of 'rolecall for the dead', naming the victims of a tragic civil war in fictional Mobotu and what killed them. Like "Tom Smith, shot to death", just on and on for hundreds...

    Erik Mona Has a Blog!

    Normally I would just ignore this thread for the red herring it is, but for god's sake man, you're accusing the poor guy of maliciously decieving you in attempt to... what? Trick you into thinking his political views are correct? There all manner of things a person could put in a personal blog...

    Erik Mona Has a Blog!

    Er... read the site. It's a blog like any other - a mix of personal views, industry esoterica and the like. It's quite clear that this is a personal site of Eric's, meant to inform people who are interested in his personal thoughts. A few posts about politics does not a soapbox make. I...
