Hey, I live there too! I actually ran a campaign using a map of the fingerlakes for a brief period a few years back. Basically I just used the terrain and some of the area's more inspiring oddities (white deer between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, mines under Cayuga lake, Vineyards -a relatively...

On an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 someone refers to Joel Hodgson as "our Sleepy Voiced Narrator". I love that show, and I have been described as sleepy voiced as well, so there you have it.

I just checked out the video over on gamingreport (http://gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=22048&mode=thread&order=0) of the D&D sneak peek seminar. Well, I didn't really watch it, just fast forwarded to the end to see the images for later in 2007. One of the images looks very much like...

I'll add a vote for WEG's Star Wars, although I think it was fairly popular by most non-D&D standards. I also really enjoyed Tunnels and Trolls, although only for the solo adventures. Never did get to play a group game.

Wow, very enlightening thread. I never really knew what the difference between OD&D and Basic D&D was. This thread has inspired me to go back to my B/X D&D stuff, and I am really excited by the possibility of running the old game again. I love my 3.X, but I am starting to see the old D&D as a...

Definately non-essential. For a while I simply banned them from my 3.x games. I just preferred the "different species" angle. However, my players just really seemed to like the half-races. Out of five players I almost always had at least one half-orc and two half-elves. Should I get a...

I wish Monte all the best in his future endeavors, but this announcecment still makes me sad. I love Malhavoc stuff, I guess this just gives me the opportunity to catch up with the few releases I've missed.

Total Monte Haul.

Happy Birthday Gary! Thanks for giving us the gift of a great game!

OOh, ooh, let me add my voice to the "hated the cover" group. When I saw it in the WotC catalog I assumed it was a mock-up, and we'd get something much cooler when the book appeared in stores. Boy was I wrong.

I was pretty underwhelmed. A lot of the new monsters seemed to have redundant concepts (I could be wrong, but that was my impression - especially the undead). I was looking forward to the return of ecology and society sections, but the actual execution was disappointing. I think too much...

There is the theosophic (I think) underground world of Agarttha. The idea is that the true rulers of the world live there, it stretches out under the entirety of the globe. I think the capital city is Shamballah. I don't really know much about this concept and the mythology behind it, I just...

Thanks for the break-down Cam. That should be sufficient for my needs.

Oh well. Thanks anyways, guess I'll just stick with the Favored Soul!

I remember once upon a time the Mystic class from the Dragonlance Campaign Setting was previewed on some website. For the life of me I can't seem to find it. Anyone happen to know where that was at?

I'm pretty certain that image is in the 2nd edition (non-revised) D6 book. For online images I would recommend going to the various Star Wars computer game sites and checking out their concept art galleries. I have gotten quite a few good,original, images from them.

I also just want to mention a thanks to Mike for keeping us in the conversation and engaging us in the R&D experience. This is a great thread to read, and has great points both pro and con for this issue.

I don't really think this is a nostalgia issue. My first response when reading the new rust monster was not, "that's not the rust monster I grew up with!", but rather, "oh great, more record keeping." Do we really need to tack on more bonuses and penalties on the fly like this? If there is a...

Thanks for responding BadElf. What exactly do the responsibilities of a delegate consist of?

Just curious if there are any WotC delegates on these boards. If so, what has your experience been like? Are the perks worth the time and energy put into it?
