5/30/2002 Bob Richter: Fireballs

6/1/2002 Bob Richter: Swashbuckling...

6/1/2002 Bob Richter: The masculine flaw (and a tangent about magic)

6/4/2002 Bob Richter: Height, Weight, Wrestling.
You've already met Mallory, my Naked Pictish Archer (tm), and you know she's short. You also probably know just how unreasonably light she is. (an 80lb woman, no matter how…

6/4/2002 Bob Richter: Draw.
I must be missing something terribly important. Where is the Draw attribute used? it says "The rate at which...replenish his vagaries." Vagaries are depleted? I'm confused.

6/13/2002 Bob Richter: Why I'm additcted to tRoS.

8/13/2002 Bob Richter: On Priorities (and a friendlier priority table.)

10/5/2002 Bob Richter: Wizardry...
...so it's a D&D (3rd ed.) distinction, but somehow I don't think everyone who casts spells ought to have been born with magic in their blood. Are there going to…

12/14/2002 Bob Richter: Defensive Grappling.
