Just wondering if anyone has been able to get ahold of "Torn Asunder" yet, from Bastion. It is a set of optional rules you can use for critical hits and fumbles. Anyone?

Denny Unger over at WorldWorks has just released his Castles and Keeps interior set. For those of you looking to spice up your next castle seige or just want to build pretty cool looking rooms, have a look... http://www.worldworksgames.com/castlekeeps.html

Anyone have an update on when the winning entry of WOTC's campaign design contest will be released? It's been a little while now, hasn't it?

One of the games I picked up at Games Plus this past week was "Pendragon", along with the "Boy King" campaign. Could any of you tell me your experiences with playing this game. Is it DM friendly? Do the combats go smoothly? Does it make for a good mini-campaign? Any input is appreciated ahead...

I was at a seminar in Chicago this week, and before I went I had asked a few people to give me some good game stores in the Chi-town area. Regrettably, Chicago does not seem to have that many. However, to a person, everyone said that I needed to check out "Games Plus" in Mount Prospect - about a...

I apologize if this has been asked before, but do any of you know why the second attack doesn't appear on the finished character sheet? My wife has a fighter with a +6/+1 BAB, and after Strength and Feats it should be +11/+6. Only the +11 is appearing on her sheet. Not the end of the world, but...

I have a D&D campaign that has been going strong for many a year. One of my friends likes to spice things up, which I welcome. He wants to do things like run up a wall, flip in the air, and land in front of some shmuck - basically shocking and aweing the guy. I love that stuff, because it...

I picked up the adventure "Befallen" for my normal D&D campaign. It is actually an adventure for the Everquest line from S&S. Not bad, actually - I've only skimmed it. But it got me to thinking, how many of you have actually played the Everquest RPG? I know it has a mana system for magic, and...

I found a VERY cool company called WorldWorks recently. They produce a line of cardstock dungeon, castle and village products, with more on the way. I bought the castle set a few weeks ago and it is sweeeet. In fact, I just used it in our game this past week - having our PC's relieve a seige of...

Over the recent past I've heard given, as a weakness in Martin's "A Song of Ice & Fire" series, the fact that there are no true heroes or people to root for. I think it's time to set the record straight, as it were, on that issue. I'm going to give my list of "good guys" from the series, and...

What are your feelings on this. Apparently the May issue of Dragon is going to be devoted to Martin's ASoI&F series. It's nice to see that it will be getting roleplaying treatment, and D20 to boot, yet I was hoping for an entire sourcebook with support. I imagine it'll be similar to the...

I have visited the "Ring of Ice and Fire" boards, dedicated to Martin's series, and I've noticed a common theme. Many of the members over there simply DESPISE the character of Stannis Baratheon. Absolutely hate him. They immediately point out that he was willing to sacrafice his own blood - his...

While I am convolescing at home, I picked up the Elric! game from Chaosium. I was just wondering what your experiences were with this game. It uses the BRP system that Call of Cthulu uses, so it would seem pretty easy for players to pick up and DM's to manage. Does it effectively capture the...

Got back on Tuesday, actually, from my spinal fusion surgery. As I predicted, my doctor thought my back was a mess when he opened me up. Found another disc going the way of the disintegrated one. Still, surgery looked good to him and only time will tell. But actually I feel fairly good. I'm in...

Gotta get my back cut-on bright and early tomorrow morning. I have a collapsed vertebrae that is grinding against another one. There is virtually no disc left between the two. So they are going to fuse the two vertebrae together with a bone graft. Fairly routine they tell me, but I'll be in the...

I've been reading the book of vile darkness, and came upon the Demon Lords and the Abyss. Several times it says the layers are infinite. Am I the only one who doesn't share that view? Somewhere along the way, I thought that someone had the Abyss at 666 layers. I subscribe to that theory rather...

I have run a Birthright campaign, on and off, since its release in 1995. The timeline has been advanced 30 years in that time (now 581 mr), to accomodate 3 "generations" of Birthright characters. In my campaign, the Empire has been reformed under the banner of one of my 1st generation player's...

I was looking for a good adventure to take my group through, when, perusing my library of adventures, I came upon "Speaker in Dreams". I remembered getting it when it first came out, but assumed that the reason I couldn't use it back then was because my players were not the right level. Wrong...

Just after I started cruising this site, coming up on 2 years now, there was a really funny thread started by Sir B________ (I can't remember the rest of his name! :( ). It was one of the most enjoyable threads I've ever seen here. Stories about crybaby munchkins getting slapped and then bawling...
