Zenodotus of Ephesus · Jul 12, 2005

From the review said:
Like all gaming communities, the table-top community is filled to the brim with nit-picking critics.

"Nit-picking" should be one word.

Funny, but actually incorrect. The OED amusingly has nitpick as a noun, nit-pick as a verb. The reason I know this is a long and sad story I won't bother telling, heh.

Actually the hyphen is fine. IIRC, that is the British way of spelling it.

Cheers!

I have been in two different bookstores waffling over whether to buy this book.... I think it's one of those things where some irrational part of my brain is saying "If you buy it, you'll be happy!" Thing is ... I don't need it. Even in the scheme of D&D books being a luxury item, I don't need it. But ... I'm still thinking about getting it. Weird!

"Sequel to the DMG"

<snerk>

Man, but the character development... just wasn't as good in the sequel. Finished up the cliffhanger in the first one, though.

I went through this today. I decided against it in favor of a Dungeon Crawl Classic and the Adult Swim Meatwad Aqua Teen Hunger Force plushie.

Now, Meatwad watches down upon me, inspiring me to greatness!

I went ahead and got it. I figured I had the new Green Ronin Advanced Gamemasters Guide so might as well get the Wizards on too. It seems okay, some good things in it and some things I already knew.
