I'm most likely starting a new game tomorrow night, using one of the retro-clones (not that rule set matters for this topic). On a lark I decided to name the three characters I rolled up after video games from my youth. I decided to throw some alliteration into the mix with the first two...

I've been on a Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser/ Dying Earth reading binge since February. Waiting on the 5th F&GM, and I've only 100pgs left in Cugel's Saga. I'm managed to find a copy of Vance's Lyonesse Bk 1, and I'm debating if I should start before finishing up the last Dying Earth book, but I...

I'm wondering how the evolution of ballistic weapons would come about in a world filled with magic, something along the lines of Eberron, where magic has supplemented technology. I'm brewing up a setting for personal use, and I'm going to be taking a lot out of Eberron, but I'm wondering what...

Drothgery, you're a Saint (or a Demon Prince, take your pick). I probably should have thought of checking the actual, official website, huh. I swear I'm not really this stupid.

I just purchased the over expensive Keep on the Shadowfall. It looks nifty, and it will determine if I am going to buy the regular rule books. My only problem is with the pre-gens. I looking for more human-o-centric ones. Or even other classes, like Ranger or Warlock. Does anybody know where I...

Nobody started one yet? I started Elric; The Stealer of Souls (Chronicles of the Last Emperor of Melnibone: Volume 1). I tried reading some Elric back when White Wolf was reprinting them under their Borealis imprint. I hated it. I'm a bit more aware of Elric's historical significance in...

How is that there "Northwest of Earth"? I have it on my wish list, but I can never seem to actually buy the thing. I want to support Planet Stories, but I'm always kind of so-so on the pulps.

Maps And Legends by Michael Chabon, which, incidentally, has the greatest dust jacket I've ever come across. It's non-fiction collecting his essays and what not from various sources. I'm enjoying it, although it's far from essential. Still, that dust jacket is a work of art. I finished the...

I read these in Junior/High School, along with the "Twins" trilogy. There was a point in time when I Loved these novels. I still think, with a complete re-writing of the first one, that they would make excellent live action movies (curse you, Dragonlance animated film!). I used to re-read them...

This is the greatest game theme I've ever come across.

Let me ask all you Erickson readers a question: Do you need to read these books in order? Is it a full fledged series, or is it more episodic? Can you start with any one of them, or do you need to read "Gardens of the Moon" (or whatever it's called) first. Because I couldn't get through that...

Make it so! And as your so making it, let us know how it's going. This is something I wanted to do waaaaaaay back in the 2e days, although I only thought about it for a week or so. I especially like the idea of giving the PC's professions. Also, if a new world is something you're looking for...

Could someone elaborate on this? I just plunked down $70 bucks for the game. Is it at all enjoyable without these rule fixes? Me and my friends and pretty new to boardgaming (we've been playing Axis & Allies the past two months) and I really wanted something not so repetitive, but something...

Thanks Jdvn1. You're a scholar and a gentlebeing. A perfect example of what I mean when I say how helpful the Enworlder's are.

You're right, I should have posted this in Meta. How silly of me :o I just wanted to know if anybody has played Twilight Imperium, Game of Thrones, or War of the Ring boardgames, and what the general consensus of them were. I should probably go to Fantasy Flight's website and see if they have...
