Pariah Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I once gave my chemistry students a problem on a test. It involved aliens who metabolize ammonia the way humans metabolize water, so their temperature scale was based on the freezing and boiling points of ammonia. They had to convert several Earth temperatures from °C into this other unit, °A. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Probably, no. When this was brought up in previous years the answer given was that JKR wouldn’t allow HP to be adapted to an RPG as she was dismissive of RPGs. If this is indeed true, why would JKR write one in the setting? Answer, she wouldn’t. (see tribble, I can play nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
