    A literary question for Mr. Darlage

    I know this will sound silly maybe, but if I had an idea for a short story based in REH's Hyborian age, using a hero crafted by myself in Howard's world, where could I go to try to have it published? And more relevantly, what legal matters should I be aware of? I would like to give this a...

    WHAT DO YOU DO?

    Hey, thank you very much for the well wishes Bregales. And at this time I am really unsure as to what direction I am going to go academically; In fact the only sure thing is that I enjoy writing and am interested in reading and learning to write better. Hopefully, there will be "exploratory"...

    Blatantly "newbie" question: Skill points

    Hmm, looks good to me too. Thanks everybody, that example in the book was (and is still) confusing. But I like the way you broke it down. Cheers!

    WHAT DO YOU DO?

    Hooah! I'm a soldier at the moment; a truck driver for the US army. Very soon, I will be going back to school on my GI bill in San diego. I'll be studying English Literature among other things.

    Blatantly "newbie" question: Skill points

    I must be doing something HORRIBLY wrong

    Hey everybody, sorry for the belated reply. Thank you all for the posts...they really helped. Just kinda blew my mind they were so hard to find (at first). Well, when I get back I'll have to start a new mini's collection and try (again! for like the 500th time!) to paint at least ONE decent...

    Question: Hyboria's Fiercest

    This question is reguarding Cimmerian's of the Barbarian class. A quote of page 12, the first sentance of the first paragraph, states: "According to Queen of the Black Coast by Howard, the Fighting-Madness feat is a racial trait of the Cimmerians." Does this mean that all Cimmerians now...

    I must be doing something HORRIBLY wrong

    I know I have taken a rather long "hiatus" from gaming in general, to the tune of around 5 years or so.... ....but what's going on with miniatures these days??? Painted plastic ones? Tons of box sets for wargaming but diminishing amounts for table-top gaming or just plain painting? Ral...
