How would a world that was completely dry except for a large sea at each pole be formed? By my admitedly limited knowledge of how these things work, I would start with a frozen world covered in ice with the highest elevations at the equator gradually sloping downward to the poles. Cue solar...

This may seem like a strange request, but I'm looking for commercially published D&D/D20 Fantasy settings (preferably not pdf only, but I'll consider anything) that never really caught on, settings that few people have heard of or know much about. Basically, I'm looking for something where...

Talking about this. Has anyone played or at least owned/read this? Is it any good? Is it actually compatible with classic D&D in any of its incarnations (BX, BECMI, RC)? How do the classes balance against regular D&D classes? Are there any reviews anywhere? I looked around but most of what I...

The following quote from a thread on Dragonsfoot: There was a paperback novel-size version of Mentzer D&D? Does anyone know anything about this? I would love to get my hands on such a creature. Is it pretty much the same as the regular version?

What are the differences between these versions of BD&D? Were there any significant rule changes?

Question about the new DVD box set of the old D&D cartoon series. This may seem like it belongs in media lounge, but I'm actually curious about the D&D/RPG book that comes with it, so I think this qualifies as General RPG. From what I could tell from the box, the 30-page book contains the...

On the commercial for the video game Gears of War. I know the song, it's an old Tears For Fears song called Mad World, but that ain't Tears For Fears. Who does this version, and where can I get it?

I've always found the D&D magic system tedious, so I've never played magic users and consequently I don't know much about specific spells. I was looking at the Arcane Mark spell, and I couldn't figure out what the point was. So you can put your personal rune on something, so what? How does...

Anyone had a chance to play this? Is there a decent story to it? Are there engaging parts of the game that don't involve fighting, or is it just a hack and slash romp*? *Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

I'm going back to college this spring to finish my Bachelor's, and I'm trying to find sources of financial aid other than loans-grants, scholarships, etc. My google-fu is weak though. When I try to find anything, all the student financial aid websites I'm finding are a lot like adult...

I just got a nice new coffee table. Not 24 hours after setting it up, the cat jumps up and lays down on it. Not wanting her on there, I shooed her off. She scrambled away, causing a nice long scratch as she did so. It's just one long scratch, doesn't really look that deep. Is there any good...

I'm looking for some different settings, just for kicks. None of the standard D&D settings* like Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms. Share your favorite lesser known non-WotC settings. Vanilla fantasy is fine (actually my favorite), just want something new. Even a website only setting is ok...

I traded in some old xbox games at Gamestop and have a gift card worth about $40 now, and I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to waste it, because I have a hard time shelling out that much money at once (I'm a cheapskate), and now I have an excuse. I'm looking for new or upcoming PC...

I own it! Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith. Bought it off ebay for a mere $25. Now I can bask in the weird daemonic glow of the last continent of earth. For those of you who don't know who he is, take one part HP Lovecraft and one part Robert Howard, mix well and serve. They were in fact all...

Can anyone recommend some card-based dungeon crawl games, like the old Cardmaster Adventure Design Deck for AD&D? I have only recently become aware of these, and I am intrigued. They seem like a good idea for a pick-up game.

In standard Oblivion, NPC enemies (and the equipment they carry) level up with you. I've seen several mods that change this so that even at higher levels bandits still wear fur and leather and carry iron weapons, and so that you might still meet low-level enemies at high levels (after all, imps...
