We absolutely take trade-ins on certain items. 3.5 books are something the store needs. As to the mark-up: we looked at what they were selling for online and chose what we thought was a reasonable price. It's a little ridiculous but that seems to be where the market is right now.

PHBs available I feel really inappropriate doing this but people have been asking. Sentry Box Main Page in Calgary got 6 or 7 Player's Handbooks in last week. I think they are ~$60 canadian for the near mint ones. We also got at least one of the starter sets with the softcover PH which is...

In general, what do you folks prefer: 1. Collaborating with the GM before the campaign starts so that you have a clear idea of what the campaign is going to beabout and how your character fits into the campaign. OR 2. Making characters in something of a vacuum and not really knowing what the...

Thanks all! That's awesome stuff. I'd planned to start with them as mortals and awaken as part of the story, 4/5ths of the players are unfamiliar with Mage and so I'd planned for the learning of magic to be both an in character and out of character thing. I really appreciate the advice.

Hello all, I'm going to be running a casual game for some people at work and was leaning towards basing it in Mage: The Awakening. Does anyone have any advice on running NWoD in general and/or Mage in particular? Pitfalls to avoid or things to be aware of? Thanks!

I've been doing research stuff for a campaign and since I've been watching Supernatural I was thinking about salt and its effects as a protective element, a symbol of purity or as a weapon against the supernatural. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for though. Why does salt harm faeries...

There's no errata for Hunter, I'm 99% certain that I got the character creation right, I double checked the Hunter template. My guess is that they all have some bonus XP it just bugs me that it doesn't seem to be a set number. It violates my sense of order, as an added bonus annoyance there is...

Hello all, My group is going to be doing a halloween one shot and the storyteller decided to go with the H:tV quickstart. We have six players though so I have to make a character. I was looking over the quickstart characters trying to avoid excessive overlap in concept. Thing is all of the...

The Spellfire thing was more as an example of things we carry that we really really don't need and will never sell. We have over 3000 boosters of the old Middle Earth CCG.

I work in a Gaming store and this is not an advertisement so I won't say which. Our owner has a habit of buying any used items he is offered and so we stockpile old stuff. We just received 2000+ boosters of Spellfire 1st edition and 200 copies of June 1982 Dragon. We have a ton of this sort of...

One option for this sort of problem is to make the party much larger but only have some of them adventure at any time so that players can switch characters or make new characters while maintaining a bit more continuity. For example: We were the Crimson Reds, feared adventuring company. We had...

A second for Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell, Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series has him dealing with fey quite a bit. If you are over 18 you might find some inspiration in Laurell K Hamilton's Merry Gentry series.

I always found it weird how little interest I had in the realms. I started in second edition and picked up tons of the boxed sets. Lots of Planescape, Lots of Dark Sun, Birthright, Dragonlance, Al-Qadim. I even bought a pile of spelljammer. Strangely I never was interested in FR. I have two...

I like Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition. If you like six-eight hour games of galactic domination. Ricochet robots is a great one which plays un unlimited number of people in zero minutes to an hour. Betrayal is the most successfuly game I've ever brought to a table. Hey Merric, I like your...

I'll be coming back here in a few months asking how to get into ASL but for now I have people who would actually play one of the Borg games with me. Thanks for the advice Merric!

I should have tried wiki. That was silly of me, thank you Wicht.

How old is the RPGA? I was rereading my Star Frontiers books and there is an ad at the back for the RPGA dated 1983. How far back does it go?

I am thinking of picking up one of his battle games (possibly all of them eventually). I think I'd prefer to pick one and grab some of its expansions rather then buy several different games. I'm thinking of picking up Command and Colors, then eventually Battlelore and very eventually Memoir...

The other thing that has been cool is how different minions are based on the environment. The party that I DM for is terrified of minions because when they first encountered them it was in large open spaces with difficult terrain. Kobold minions with javelins are terrifyingly vicious under those...

The group I recently joined has a rogue, ranger, wizard and cleric. Before I showed up they were having all sorts of trouble keeping people up and fighting. Their ranger kept getting beaten to heck by monsters because she was trying to be a defender. I joined as a paladin and nobody has gone...
