I am running a pathfinder game for E8. So far, we are only in the first module, so no different from any other game, except that some of the feat choices folks are making are different than I have noticed in past games. I prefer E8 (with blocking a few spell choices) than E6. We will see how...

I am currently running what will eventually be an E8 Pathfinder game for my FLGS. Because all of the players basically chose +1 lvl adj races (or I modified a standard +0 by giving two Iron Heroes traits to make it the equivalent) [and I just simply ignored the lvl adj] and have 5 players...

First off, I make the aboleth masters of psionics, even more so than the mind-flayers. Since I run a VERY different homebrew, being a psuedo-post apocalyptic technomagic campaign, the aboleth of the current time are usually found in ruins in the deepest of the Taint Lands (think 1950's SF...

That is ok, as far as I can tell, I did not get an update email either, and I know I purchased this product from rpgnow. skippy The GM of The Cursed Earth Campaign

I am a gadgeteer at heart, and always played that sort in most kinds of games. Thus, while I am the GM in my current homebrew, and haven't had the chance to play in many years, my favorite regular party NPC is an artificer. This said, number one favorite thing is augment crystals. They are...

I have it also, so I will answer a few quick questions. About psionics, there really aren't any NEW items. Mostly what they did was collect a number of the items from the XPH and list them, BUT they also listed the ARCANE/DIVINE spells and feats needed to make them as normal magic items...

Malhavoc's When the Sky Falls has a few meterite spells that basically do this. I have a number of magic items that my players use for the same effect (both offensive and defensive). skippy GM of The Cursed Earth Campaign

Ari, When is your next class product coming out. EVERY single one of the recent ones have filled a need or a mechanic that I didn't even realize was a gaping hole in my homebrew. I think the assassin book mentioned a psychic knight or some such. I know WOTC has been keeping you busy, and...

Your GM needs to be VERY glad that I am NOT playing in his game. Then again, my characters tend to think outside the box in morally questionable ways anyway, thus why one GM made me always play characters with relatively rigid codes of honor, so he could better control my more chaotic streak...

This proves the fact that different people find different things useful in Dragon. ANY Greyhawk material is worse than useless to me. I would rather have those same pages filled with blatant video game ads, because the artwork might spark an idea or two with me. Forgotten Realms material is...

I run a rather unique homebrew which allows most everything from Dragon and WOTC sources, as long as I have at least a photocopy of the relavent pages (if I don't already also own the book). That said, I do NOT allow everything in the core books, as there are NO CLERICS in my game, of any sort...

Thanks for the quick response. I will be renewing my subscription tonight. I must admit that I really enjoy getting Dragon in the mail every month, especially weeks earlier than the bookstores! skippy The GM of the Cursed Earth Campaign

Attention Dragon Magazine Editors Eric and company, Amazon.com is running a special on magazine subscriptions this month (september), and I am thinking about going ahead and renewing my Dragon subscription (I must admit I am even thinking about adding a Dungeon subscription for the Savage Tide...

Gnomes are traders and bankers whose reach is found accross the entire world. But they are a dour and humorless race, who worship a singular god, dress in severe and dark styles, and basically act like Puritans. Naturally, they believe they are the chosen people, and, while they also believe...

4th Edition cannot come soon enough for me! The absolutely best thing that could happen to me and my homebrew campaign (and even my players) would be the introduction of 4th edition D&D, especially if it is mini-centric as expected. And why would I be doing a snoopy dance of glee when the...
