Casey, you asked in passing about how to underline in a webpost. The HTML tags for underlining are <u> and </u>, <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_u.asp" rel="nofollow">as described here</a>. However, it's considered bad form to underline in a web document unless you have to, because most browsers automatically present a link as being underlined, so most people have learned to interpret "underlined" as "a link," and can get annoyed if there isn't actually a link there. They might even decide your page is broken somehow. Bolding, as you've done, and italics are both entirely acceptable ways to indicate a book title.wolfwalkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939619747304945835.post-72794493837626609672009-11-05T15:25:11.852-05:002009-11-05T15:25:11.852-05:00I think you guys are right, it is the Rosenberg se...I think you guys are right, it is the Rosenberg series. I went to check out the omnibus on Amazon, and there's a shot of the cover of the original "The Sleeping Dragon", and that stirs some old memories. <br /><br />Now I just have to snag a copy, and get down to reading again after all these years.<br /><br />Less than 24 hours, and it's already tracked down. Isn't the internet great? Thanks for the help guys!<br /><br />CaseyCaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583096053655162834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939619747304945835.post-15020592889716123952009-11-05T13:44:39.392-05:002009-11-05T13:44:39.392-05:00Been a long time since I read the Rosenberg series...Been a long time since I read the Rosenberg series but if I remember correctly one of the characters was in a wheel chair in the real world and was a dwarf in the D&D world I think one of the characters, a thief, dies very quickly when he is caught stealing but I am not sure.At the end of the first book the wizard loses his powers but he is an engineer and in subsequent books stars introducing technology into the world.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939619747304945835.post-7185825616901926092009-11-05T12:53:10.749-05:002009-11-05T12:53:10.749-05:00I seem to vaguely remember the same, now that you&...I seem to vaguely remember the same, now that you've mentioned it. But I can't remember any more details. I've read some of Rosengerg's books, but only the SF ones, not any fantasy.<br /><br />If you find out, let us know. I'm curious now too!Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939619747304945835.post-77021435433226586782009-11-05T11:45:44.954-05:002009-11-05T11:45:44.954-05:00There was the Guardians of the Flame series by Joe...There was the Guardians of the Flame series by Joel Rosenberg that was similar but not exactly what you are describing.<br />Here is a link to an Omnibus of the first 3 books in the series.<br />http://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Flame-Novels-Raen/dp/0743435893/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_8Bennoreply@blogger.com
