Why is attacking from higher ground an advantage? Tynam's answer is very complete and informative. I'd just like to add that kicks are more powerful than punches. The guy on the table can't punch the guy on the floor, and the guy on the floor can't kick the guy on the table. But then tables are unstable, so it's not a simple case. |

Flat or flattish earth issues I recall speculation that there is a horizon because light, being an attribute of the sun god Yelm, is naturally attracted to the sky and so curves upwards, but this is only noticeable at great distances. Likewise Gold used to be the lightest of metals, but became heavy when the Sun God was slain in mythic times and descended to the underworld. Also the middle world is very small compared to the size of the sky dome, so although the sun is closer to the eastern lands in the morning than it is in the evening, this is a relatively small effect. |

What characterizes a “Modern” role playing game or gaming system? An interesting a perceptive answer, but there is a problem. If GURPS is an old-school game because it has a highly flexible system that can be used to run a wide variety of game styles, then since classic D&D and it's clones are optimised for a very specific game style and set of expected game situations then they are 'Modern' games by your definition. Hmmm. |

Best answer for people concerned about RPG activities being occult or dangerous? @Jmstar - Hmm, I obviously didn't signal clearly enough it was a joke. Totaly worth 2 points though. |
