Mods: not sure if this is the right location for this post, so feel free to move it as required... Greetings, Any members of the Planewalker.com site around here? I know the site suffered some sort of DB crash earlier this year, but they appear to be back up and running, but, the site won't...

Interesting, I never recall reading anything about that in any of the original books.

Well, I can't say for sure, as I couldn't be bothered to buy more books, but I've heard different. As an example, I read someone saying how the rules for vehicular travel (beyond horses..) are in the Adventurers Vault, or something else...

I have to disagree. As I said, all that was needed was, at most, 3 books. Of course yes, they still followed up with publications, but all of them were either modules, or 'supplements'. It was meant to have the negative connotation. If people like to look at WOTC as a resource for content...

Funny how there's a new 'rule book' (sic) every 3 months now....

Definitely the Golden Age. In either OD&D or AD&D, all you needed was 3 books [max]. As noted in the original DMG: the printed rules are guidelines, if there isn't a rule for your situation, make it up. Besides that, the published modules rocked, stressing story and encounter, and weren't...

Hey Outlaw, Just wanted to thank you for the work. I ran a pre-3E Dark Sun campaign for 2 years before it morphed into a Planescape one that went on for 4 more years. Having this 4E conversion material is brilliant. If I had a better handle on 4E (which is testing me...), I'd be better able to...

Firstly, despite everything that will follow, I do think that I do get a good ROI for the money I've spent on gaming books. Now, that being said..... I have no problems paying $40 for a core book [CAN $], as long as the content is rich, and complete. Thus, my complaint. My comment here is...

Aaah. Softening. I get it. Thanks.

Well, I've seen the term used all over these forums, and I've yet to figure it out so.... What does "nerf" mean??

Ah, now that is cool stuff. And sensible. Thanks for that Shroomy. And where did you discover this info?

Thanks for that. Yes, I've been perusing it as of late. Tons of good work there. cheers

I'm sure that, as far as game mechanics goes, it's fine. As has been said here, when it comes to the fantastical, what 'should be', is ultimately arbitrary. My concern however, was more about the cosmological architecture itself, and its contingent consequences. If a demon is elemental and a...

Unless one has just begun playing D&D, we all come with some preconceived notions. Each of us have our own experience with the game. Mine happens to be such that elements of a system (even a fantastical one) should make sense. I agree with you however, concerning who decides what 'should be'...

Feel free to make a point. All they require is a realm, not an entire plane. You missed the entire point. Clearly, demons and devils are related. It doesn't make sense therefore, for the two to have diametrically opposed 'sources'..
