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.
