3.5/Pathfinder for me. I haven't had any major issues with Pathfinder so far and it will allow our group to continue using the big stack of books we have already.

catsclaw227, I think the same thing can be said of later 3.5 classes as well. Our group right now consists of a cleric, warblade, swordsage and knight. A friend was in for the weekend and wanted to play. He built a Pathfinder fighter and he did not outshine the others. In fact I think he was...

Monte gives more information about his involvement on his blog here. I think it will be good. Having another experienced set of eyes looking at it should be a good thing.

I'm in the 'don't know if I will' camp. I'm fairly open to the idea of 4e but just have so much 3.5 material that I still want to use. The players in my group feel the same way. They have a lot of character ideas they haven't had a chance to play yet. And I have this nagging suspicion that if I...

Reaper's Gale by Steven Erikson (Malazan series #7). I hate starting a series before its complete. I'm halfway through and know it will be another three years before I'm finished. Loving the series though. Dragon mag #359. Just a few pages in. I still can't believe this is the last issue (print...

For me - no thanks. I just am not interested in digital files for a few reasons: *My sad old computer is nowhere near the table. *I'm bad at keeping up with backing up the files on my 'puter and have had a HD failure and files lost before. *The Big One: Reading the Content - I don't want to...

I've had both a cat (current pet) and a dog (childhood pet). Generally I prefer cats because of their independence (smarts?). My cat doesn't go on counters or tables, and his litter box is cleaned regularly. Any odors in my house most likely belong to me. I'm not a big fan of the constant...

Thieves World and Black Company (Green Ronin). They did a very good job bringing these series to RPG life.

Gnomes and half-elves with half-orcs as a close runner up. They just really do nothing for me. None of my group has ever played a gnome or half-elf, and there have only been a few half-orcs here and there. And Quartz I agree with you - my group is playing in Thieves World (human only) right now...

Yes, always. I've offered up the chair but no takers in my group.

Rerolls for our group are for hp. Max hp at 1st, greater than half the die at 2nd and 3rd, with one reroll of hp between lvls 1-10 and one between 11-20. Player must take the 2nd roll. Its not much - just a little to make up for the occasional '1'.

Another vote for Thieves World and Black Company here. I think Thieves World is coming out with a packaged set of the three or four books or may have already done so. If you've seen Black Company and liked it you should like TW.

I'm playing a dagger wielder right now. Two levels of fighter, three or four rogue (haven't got this far yet), then back and forth in Invisible Blade and Master Thrower and finish up with rogue levels to 20th. Right now he's not the strongest, but those two prestige classes will definitely help...

Thieves World Freeport City of Greyhawk

I'm reading the players guide right now too. For #1 a few that come to mind would be the Master Thrower and _?_ (dagger specialty - forget the name) from Complete Warrior I think (very Shadowspawn), but there are lots of others too. Magic using ones would have to be converted. For #2, how...
