    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    I have it... but it's behind the new revelations of the R.A. Salvatore Books (Gauntlegrym and more)... and these books are not very new you know). And... besides... the new Campaign Guide was mostly "game-tech"-like... a book dealing with the ordinary life and paths beyond the obvious (like the...

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    For someone who "understands" my frustration you do slap me a lot in your post above. Besides.. I AM one of the Realms fans who dislike the spellplaque nonsens. But... it is official and the upcomming novels and supplements (and all the other stuff) will have to deal with it. And I do like to...

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    Well... okay... we are simply on different sides here I'm afraid. For me... if he wants to show his own version of the Realms he should do that in articles in the Dragon magazine and not go for a official supplement. I just expected something I can use in actual Realm-Campaings... and I need...

    D&D 5E What Wizards can do to make D&D Next successful.

    Really, really true... you know what... I just started to like 4.0 and now... well... it's almost over now with that edition or what? I liked the 4.0 concept with the seperation of the rounds in Standard, Move and Minor.... I like the swapping thing... you know, you can change your...

    D&D 5E What Wizards can do to make D&D Next successful.

    I would like new material like the outstanding box-sets back in the ol' days of D&D gaming... really folks, we need new maps on the "New realms" for example... after the spellplaque had hit Faerun... very much has changed, right? Even the landscape needs some support for detailing what's going...

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    I was just in my local Roleplay-Shop and had my hands on this supplement. Well, I must say, I do not like it. IMO it misses a section detaling the "New Realms" after the spellplaque... the really new realms as it represents itself now, say after the new books of R.A.Salvatore and such...

    Class Question - who can use which magic item

    Hello to all gamers out there, although I'm not at all new to DND I'm somehow puzzled by the way DND 3.0 and 3.5 handles the classes (Fighter,Thief etc.) regarding who can use which magic item. I remember how 2nd. Edition did restrict the classes for the usage of magic items. For example the...

    Steves Spell-Sheets - Update ?

    Hello to all Gamers out there, my last post is almost a year out (had to do many other things), but I'm back now to the action. Gosh, how I'm missing an update to Steves Wonderful Spellsheets. I heard somewhere that other third parties had taken over the update of the sheets because never...

    Is anyone out there terrified of demons/devils IRL?

    I'm very easily scared. I do believe rather in bad and good spirits than in the typical demon/angel pattern. Hm.. I'm a religious person, I think, due to my daily prayers in particular to my guardian angel (I strongly believe in guardian angels). However, in my younger years (around 8-12) I...

    [FR] Waterdeep in Ashes

    Economic Diseaster would follow Gosh!! Waterdeep down through an anti-magic Juggernaut of Epic Size! This is like the Russians conquer the US with a hundred-thousand battle tank! I have no qualms about that Waterdeep is brought down by an army force. At the end it is your campaign and you do...

    [OT] My mother passed away this morning

    My condolences... My mother died back in Summer 1998 one day before her 65 birthday. She died because of uterine carcinoma. Although I'm myself a medical professional at work I could do nothing to save her. I knew that I couldn't because of my experience and I accepted that long before my...

    [3.5] Enormous number of changes - some make me wonder why...

    Question on Entangle I know I'll step into dangerous ground here... but in one of my low-level campaign there is a caster which often make use of the "Entangle" Spell. I found "Entangle" as a first level spell much to powerful (that's the "dangerous ground" I mentioned before). The saving...

    Review of Monte's 3.5 Review...

    In Europe the 3.5 edition just came out (some days ago I believe). Well... to be honest... I will not buy the books. The changes are minor IMO. Yeah it's good on one side but bad on the other, too. While it is good that it is compatible and you do not have to learn thousand new rules the...

    Top Secret / SI

    Hello to all, does anyone still play the TOP SECRET /SI game. IMO it is the most "realistic" game ever created (as far realism can go in a RPG). And to just squish that realism I decided to take that game into the realm of Fantasy. I'm also playing heavily DND 3rd (maybe I'm something like a...

    PCGen sellout

    I'm not sure why there will be two programms basicly doing the same: E-Tools AND PCGen are IMO doing the same thing while I like PCGen a lot more (maybe because I used it before E-Tools had come out). There is my second problem. I bought E-Tools and I'm using PCGen. What are my options here...

    PCgen to start charging for Data?!

    I would pay Hm, first time I noticed the post and the content I were glad to hear that WOTc had finnaly come to senses and let PCGen Team-Member do the stuff for them. I have ever felt somehow guilty to use all the free-stuff of PCGen while the PCGen people doing all the hard work for free...
