    Cube The explantion of "Cube" seems somewhat clumsy or off - or I simply do not understand what they meant. Can anyone explain to me what it means / how this is handled? Thanks

    Great new retro-clone - Fantastic Heroes & Witchery (free PDF)

    I have it (version 1.0). And it is well worth the money. Quality of the book seems pretty good, although I haven't done any rough handling as of yet. I currently do my first read-through - arrived at the plane's chapter. But I will possibly skip most of the 666 spells - this is too much for...

    I sometimes use minis and sometimes not. In general I use them for boss battles or if there is alarger number of opponents. I there is only a handful of pesky kobolds, i don't need minis.... So what should I choose as answer with this poll?

    Are adventures/modules more important than system?

    A good systems does not make bad adventures good and a good adventure is useless for a bad system that is no fun to play. so, both are equally important.

    PHB Length and Contents

    I would also prefer a smaller book, about 150 to 200 pages, but not with 50 pages of spells. I don't want about 1/3rd of the book to be filled with spells.

    The Awful and Dangerous Monster?

The problem with your suggesstion is, that many classical monsters aren't classical anymore because to make them scary again, you would...

    The Awful and Dangerous Monster?

    I would give monsters only a handful of special abilities that are outstanding and make an encounter memorable. Many monsters have so many special abilities that as a GM i cannot use them all or have to study for an hour before play thei stat blocks (including cross-referencing spells) to make...

    For all those not already in the know, there is some buzz about a DM-like game called Legend of Grimrock. For those having fond memories of Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder or Lands of Lore, this may become the successor we are all waiting for, so I thought I spread the word. More info at...
