    I found this while rummaging through forums and the idea is an interesting one worth considering. http://www.d20haven.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=58

    Where's the Bard?

    I'm coming to the party a little late, but I'm wondering why the Bard isn't one of the Core Classes fpr 4E listed? They have been jack-of-all-trades types, and as such helped to define the other Core Classes by showing what they are not. So I'm wondering where the Bard is going to be in the 4E...

    Tell Me Your Best DM Dirty Tricks...

    My Sunday night DnD group is flagging a bit with the season and they've voted me to take over as DM once we're done clearing out a dungeon. They've also bragged about how there is nothing a DM can come up with that can be sent against them that they cannot handle (it should be noted that these...

    Extradimensional Space in an Extradimensional Space, What Happens?

    The spell Rope Trick has a note at the end of it which states that it is dangerous to create and extradimensional space inside of another extradimensional space, but it does not say what happens or why. The rules for mixing a nondimensional space and an extradimensional space are pretty clear...

    Dead Gods - As A Resource

    So I'm daydreaming at work, and I came up with this: If there are Dead Gods floating around in the Astral Plane in the DnD cosmology, then why can't these floating statues be mined and smelted into magic items? Or even broken apart by stonecutters and used for building a stronghold? Wouldn't...

    RPG Illegal File Sharing Hurts the Hobby

    I ran across an excellent article by Andrew Bernstein of Polymancer magazine about illegal file sharing and its effects on the RPG industry. Its worth a read. http://www.polymancerstudios.com/index_files/Page3251_w12_part1.htm

    Artificially Gestated Humans and STL Colony Ships

    I got in my old copies of 2001 Nights last night and one story had an idea that struck a chord in me, Night 4: Posterity . The story is about a Slower-Than-Light colony effort where the colonists were frozen spermatozoa and egg that were combined in an artificial uterus and birthed/decanted...

    Tennessee Travellers

    I've been thinking and wanted to see if anyone near Knoxville, Tennessee want to get together for no other reason than to get together a bunch of Traveller fans.

    Spells of Mass Destruction

    I'm gonna ask for a little help, here. I'm looking for the most devastating area effect direct damage-causing spells known to 3.x Dungeons & Dragons. I want the magical equivalent of nuclear bombs, nerve gas, and germ warfare. What spells would you fine folks suggest for this kind of mayhem...

    D&D 4E Why 4E?

    I keep seeing it mentioned that the 4th edition of DnD is going to come out Real Soon Now and muck everything up. Why does anyone think that 4E is going to happen? Has there been a press release about it from WotC?

    I just ran into these free PDFs of Terminator: Future Fate and Aliens: Game Over by Michael Tresca while surfing the web. Both are for d20 Modern and both seem really cool. Does anyone have any experience playing with these rules?

    What Would You Like To see In a d20 Modern or d20 System Supplement or Adventure?

    I'm just curious, here. There is a lot of talk about what is good and what is bad in published adventures and supplements, but I haven't seen a lot of attempts to ask the people what they want to see. So here it is. (Note: This is a slightly changed version of a similar post in order to get...

    Confessions of a FLGS Seasonal Temp

    I took a part-time seasonal temp job at the FLGS for a change of pace and a refreshing break from my usual line of work. I looked upon it as a vacation. Even looked upon it as a way to learn more about the games market from a retail standpoint. These are my observations from working in a FLGS...
