Kender characters, and the people who play them.

As a cheapskate gamer, I was hoping once the DMG was released that a boxed (sleeved?) set would soon follow, one that might have a lower price than buying all 3 individually for $90+ on Amazon. (Yes, I was spoiled by getting my 4E boxed set for $65 on Amazon)

Game Empire in Pasadena.

Anyone watching Black Sails on Starz? I'm enjoying it. . .

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Colonel and his war buddy are playing toy soldiers in the beginning.

Greyhawk got me hooked back in the day, and Dragonlance was my goto setting as soon as it came out and to this day(for RPG only, not a fan of the novels.) I didn't pick a 3rd. No other settings captured my imagination like those 2 did.

So true. We always use Ral Partha leads as soon as we could afford them. before that, it was coins or paper. But it was a lot more free-form, and we never used a tape measure or compass like we did when we played Napoleonics. Accuracy just wasn't as necessary. My opinion is mini use in...

I agree with the OCD / anal retentive comment, but I would sure love to tear someone else's game up and sign my name to their board.

Is it? Edit: I'll just wait some more. . . Edit 2: Nope.

Have you taken a look at Hard Boiled Ideas: Armies yet? Its a great Battlesystem-type set of rules. It encompasses a lot of your ideas.

So, I just finished a pickup game at a FLGS and one of the players brought an 8th level Human Pacifist Healer. He was dealing out surge + 6d6 + Wis + Cha each healing word. One fighter got healed for surge + 42hp one time. DM & other at the table didn't question it as they'd all played together...

We do pillars (and other single square blocking terrain) a bit differently. Assuming the room isn't completely light absorbent, we just say the single square opposite the light source is in shadow. This makes tracking moving light sources much easier.

Well, you can start here. Cam did a conversion for DL2 also. This is all pre-DLCS so things changed. But this will work nicely until you can pickup the conversions. Didn't realize DoA jumped to $30. That's crazy. DoW is still available for half that and a seller on Amazon has DoS for $3! Either...
