I've been a delegate since January 2005, and I've enjoyed it very much. It's a great way to meet new people, some of who end up as new gaming buddies, and WOTC is incredibly generous with the swag. Being a Delegate does take a moderate investment of time and energy, but nothing too extreme is...

Check out the Invisible Blade and Master Thrower prestige classes in Complete Warrior. You can build a very, very effective two-weapon knife fighter using Rogue (and, like you said, a couple of Ranger levels) and going into these PrCs.

In the Shackled City campaign I'm currently playing in my character has evolved through roleplaying from being a very stereotypical axe-wielding half-orc barbarian to being a brawler who prefers unarmed combat ang grappling. I'm working on getting him into the Reaping Mauler prestige class...

The book review column. I discovered better than a third of my favorite authors through those reviews.

Bargle needs to appear on the business end of my axe... Seriously, I hate that guy. He killed the hot cleric and got away.

Be ready for the unexpected. If I was one of your players and I knew a Big Bad fight was coming up in an environment like that, we (the party) would be doing some very serious brainstorming trying to work out a plan to get the bad guy out of the Quietude and onto more favorable ground. Not sure...

I really like this idea, and plan to steal it next time I'm running a campaign. It's useful mechanically, and very flavorful.

My group's current campaign is wrapping up within the next few sessions, and we'll be starting the Shackled City campaign next. I'd appreciate spoiler-free advice from those of you who've played through it as to whether or not a Druid (planned emphasis on summoning and Wildshape) would be a...

Wonder Woman; Leia is a cool character but Diana is just better.

The DVDs I don't really care about. A Feast for Crows, though...I have a copy reserved at the nearest bookstore and the next two days set at work as my days off that week. It will be me, pizza, and GRRM goodness after four years of waiting.

Any of Heather Alexander's folk / fantasy stuff, especially March of Cambredth. Best "Inspire Courage" song ever. The old Welsh song Men of Harlech, memorably featured in Zulu. It's horribly stereotypical and all, but I always think of Elvish and half-elvish bardic music sounding a lot like...

1. Conan 2. Batman 3. Sherlock Holmes 4. Ellen Ripley 5. Robin Hood 6. Luke Skywalker 7. Buffy Summers 8. Spider-Man 9. Indiana Jones 10. Superman 11. Don Quixote 12. John Sheridan 13. King Arthur 14. Samwise Gamgee 15. Atticus Finch 16. Bond...James Bond.

I've made a fairly large amount of their dungeon terrain, and I'm currently working on some village stuff. It is all very, very nice. My printer isn't terribly good but it still handles Worldworks stuff well; it does use a lot of ink, though.

When I'm running a fairly "standard" campaign I start off allowing characters, feats, races and spells from the PHB, the "complete" series, the "Races" series and (with the understanding that I'll veto anything that I don't think fits in) other WOTC published stuff. Notable exceptions include...

Thanks for the information, y'all. Hurricane Dennis did a number on my hovel so I'm going to be moving to Auburn a lot sooner than I'd expected - like within the next two weeks. It's good to know that I'll be able to find a gaming group.

Someone was dumb enough to attack...Nolin's...funeral??? I look forward to seeing the painful beating that was no doubt administered.

Hmm... George R. R. Martin (fantasy author) Spider Robinson (science fiction author) Pete Seeger (folk singer) Warren Ellis (comic book writer) Jolly Blackburn (Knights of the Dinner Table) Mick Foley (professional wrestler / author) Harper Lee (author) Grant Morrison (comic book writer) Elsie...

To echo what others have said: Get a lawyer. Today. Trust no church that involves prophetesses and large amounts of other people's money. I call shenanigans. Unless there's something else involved, go for custody of your daughter. I'd go for "custody" of the current living arrangements...

I'm a huge fan of the John Carter novels, and this really doesn't bother me at all. The Civil War background was a minor (although interesting) part of the character's background; his background as a fighting man could be established just as well by making him a veteran of some more recent war...

I can't believe I missed mentioning this earlier; SiP is truly wonderful. If I had to pick a single favorite TPB ever it would be Batman Year One, but the "I Dream of You" volume of SiP would be a very close second. The rest of 'em rock too.
