Or... 1. Print page(s) from PHB PDF, in color 2. Cut out power 3. Tape to 3x5 card Works great, already color coded.

Just a bit more of my 2 cents. (Standard Disclaimer - These are my Opinions. Any resemblence to facts is purely co-incidental) First, since it was, until recently, a favorite topic here, BW is not Rules-Lite, by any stretch. ;) Second, it's a great read, even if you never intend to run it...

If memory serves, Necromancer Games modules, at least Rappan Athuk, has this. Each encounter has a Tactics entry. Very cool. :cool:

Since you mentioned that, I have to mention my alternate ;) Marry a gamer. Don't have kids :D (Just kibitzing!)

My only problem was the choice of rather combative words: "Essentially, all I see here is DMs who are so full of themselves that they believe they never make mistakes or that their players are too dumb to notice the mistakes." While some have been miffed by my responses, really I have only...

I don't think the point was really memory, per se. But yes, considering the man probably met and talked with literally hundreds of people between those times, that's impressive. I think it more has to do with "active slots". This one might cause some arguments, but I think it is very true...

Can't be me, he's in Chicago. But I hear he's bound for New Orleans.

Yep! ;)

Aw, is diaglo-chan still peeved? (pats on head) So, from my swearing at the end of my post, that means that I feel that I am the son of god and died for everyone's sins? What color is the sky in your world? But your sentence structure would lead one to believe that you said I said Gygax was...

Please do. I personally have much more respect for Arneson. But I'm glad I picked up a fan.

Wow. I mean, wow. I don't really know where to begin. You know, I'm just going to let the above statement stand on its own. There's nothing I can point out that your statement doesn't already do. Anything more would be armchair psychology. Wow. :\

I would point out that the age and year the DM started gaming will have a lot to do with the above question, as in the early years there were not too many published worlds available besides Greyhawk and Blackmoor, and that was only if you were lucky enough to start with or have access to the...

1913 - Famed science fiction writer H.G. Wells published "Little Wars", widely acknowledged as the first set of miniature wargames rules. Oops, that's not funny - it's true... :uhoh: :lol:

But it doesn't matter to me what you do. I choose to support my FLGS for the shelfish reason I want them to be around. Me, not you. I could give half a... what you want. I'm not trying to get YOU to do it. I just don't want other people telling me it's stupid for me to do so. Simple, really.

First, my GM philosophy: I welcome any "style" of play to my table. If you play because you liked the Diablo computer game, and want to kill stuff, cool. If you never want to drop out of character, and want to have an in-depth conversation with the innkeeper, welcome. If you are somewhere in...
