I had just started my new job, sitting at my desk when a coworker said a plane flew into the WTC. I tried checking out the news online but the news outlets were overloaded with traffic so I couldn't get any info. I checked the ENWorld forums and followed the events right here. The information...

Hey guys, I think I know just the thing for you. Have you tried Living Greyhawk (LG)? Minneapolis has some pretty active groups of players, and the local region (the Shield Lands) is based in Minneapolis/St. Paul. That is, the triad members or organizers live here. Here is a link to the...

A hottly contested topic the ability adjustment is. I take the use of terms such as "as normal for advancing mosters" and "remember an animal companion gains x,x and x... for gaining additional Hit Dice..." <to paraphrase> to mean that they are kindly reminding the druid that animals get stuff...

Do-gooder. ;)

NATURAL SPELL!!! I don't know what you mean by it isn't as good in 3.0, it is still the best darned feat a druid can have. Yeah, I have been waiting for access to Natural Spell in a living campaign for about a year, missed it at 6th, and certainly can't wait to take it at 9th when it...

I brushed into the ENWORLD all-stars last year at Gen Con as they were hijacking PCat to run their CoC table (otherwise he would have been OUR JUDGE!!!). But they didn't really have time to talk to the lurkers, they were all too cozy in eachothers company to be bothered with outsiders. Oh...

I agree Living Greyhawk isn't the answer for the lack of a source book, but I think it is the reason why there isn't one for precisely one of the reasons you mention. There are many disparate groups driving the world right now. I offered LG as a starting place to look for campaign material...

Yeah, what he said! Thanks, that was a bit more what I was after but I failed to be quite so to the point.

Living Greyhawk Gazetteer is a wonderful source book, but more encyclopedic than sourcebookish. You won't find stats for NPCs, but you will get very detailed write-ups on each country, government, geographic region descriptions, and good historical information. I think one of the problems with...

Very different campaigns: Forgotten Realms: NPCs are super heroic, powerful, and overblown. I get the feeling it was designed in such a way as to keep power gaming PCs feeling like small fish. In fact I remember a mercenary band description that specifically stated it could be used to...

I have been a subscriber for about 12 years, and I have been disappointed with Dragon for a good long time. The layout, fonts, and even screaming tabloid covers don't bother me, it is a lack of content. Sure, I was disgruntled when KotDT disappeared (I realize there was a dispute of which I...
