Frequently Asked Questions

Are your "Generators" available for download to run on my computer?

No, the "generators" were built to live on the web. they are server-side scripts, and do not run as a stand-alone program. Perhaps in the future they may be made to run as a stand-alone program, but for now I am concentrating on improving FlatEarth.com!

Are you associated with the Flat Earth Society?

No, we are not associated with that esteemed organization. To find out more about the Flat Earth Society, point your browser to http://www.tdolby.com.

Are you associated with Flat Earth Productions?

No, Flat Earth Productions is the computer special effects company that does the wonderful work in shows such as 'Xena Warrior Princess' and 'Hercules'. To my knowledge, Flat Earth Productions does not have a web site.

Who the heck are you guys?

Flat Earth Games is a group of role playing game players and developers. We have all been playing games for a LONG time, and have a lot of experience with all types of role playing games. This web site is primarily the result of the efforts of Darin Lenderink, Flat Earth Games' "WebWizard".

What are role playing games?

Role playing games are essentially interactive storytelling, goverened by a set of rules and guided by a game master, acting as a sort of 'director'. For more information on role playing games, see our Parent's Page.

What do you mean by "fantasy" role playing games?

The genre of fantasy is generally based on medieval history and the legends of King Arthur. It is a setting of valiant knights, evil dragons, and mysterious wizards. Many other authors have contributed to the genre of fantasy, most notably J.R.R. Tolkein (Lord of the Rings). Others include Michael Moorcock (Elric and others), Fritz Leiber (Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser), Robert E. Howard (Conan), and many, many others.

What games do this site deal with?

Our group generally plays Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (TSR Hobbies), however we have played using several other game systems. On this site, I will be dealing with any role playing game system that is set in a fantasy setting. However, since we play AD&D most you will find more information on this system than the others.

Why do I get JavaScript errors on some of the pages?

In order to provide interactivity, I have used the JavaScript language on many of these pages. I have tested primarily using Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02, and this or newer would be the best to use with these pages. However, any JavaScript enabled browser should work. Netscape 2.x in particular had many problems with their implementation of JavaScript, and I cannot get around this. The only solution would be to upgrade. Sorry.
