The pictures were larger when I uploaded them. Check out the album in my profile at this link: EN World: D&D / RPG News & Reviews - countgray's Album: Bucket of Dragons - How to Train Your Dragon - Picture If the picture still appears small then click on the picture for a larger size, click the...

Pictures as requested! I took some pictures of the dragon minis and figured out how to upload them. Check 'em out! By the way, the tub has a sticker on it that says "Wal-mart Exclusive" so I am afraid the only place you can find them easily is in a Wal-mart.

I picked up a "Bucket of Dragons" from Walmart tonight. This is the coolest thing ever! It is a tub of miniatures from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" with 30 plastic minis in it including at least six different human viking characters and 5 different types of dragons from the movie. Each...

I use clear plastic shoe boxes for all my plastic mins. You can usually get them for about 99 cents at various places. The Container store has some slightly nicer ones with clear plastic tops for only slightly more. I recommend these highly. They stack well, you can see what's inside. They hold...

So I bought my Orcus just yesterday at Wonko's here in Austin. Then a couple of Mormons stopped by today wanting to share with me their message. As a nice guy that is open-minded, likes to talk to people and hates to say no to anyone, I invited them in and offered them a glass of water. There...

We both agree that castles were never designed to defend against dragons in the real world. That was in fact my very point. ;) We disagree that the idea that castles should be "dragon proof" is flawed. Tell that to the lord who wants to protect his daughter and the local population that has...

The original poster may have a point. I saw an interview with James Cameron where he said something veiled and cryptic that there is a reason that the Navi look similar to humans, one that will be revealed in the sequels.

p.s. here is a direct link to the web enhancement if you want a taste of what's in the book: http://dragonwing.net/downloads/e-faeries.zip Also the addendum, errata & FAQ is pretty neat too: http://dragonwing.net/downloads/Faeries_errata.pdf

Faeries by Bryon Wischstadt I gotta ditto the Faeries recommendation. I know the OP didn't ask about it but Faeries was my favorite Bastion Press book. It had a slew of fantastic info about the realm of Faerie and tons of interesting lore and mechanics for running a campaign set there or using...

Sadly, the Pegasus brand has become genericized, and now applies to all avian equines. Pegasus tried to enforce his trademark in Pegasus v. Gygax 1979, but lost on appeal to the 3rd circuit. While there may have been only one Pegasus, there are now many, many pegasi. Well, for the purposes of...

Well, castles (and other types of fortifications) have always been an expensive proposition, and both rich people and governments have bankrolled them for centuries, millennia even. I think that innovative defenders would gradually come up with techniques for defending against these new...

Set, I like your thinking and that is exactly the point I was trying to make and the innovations I was trying to elicit. My point is not that castles are useless or set decorations for a game, but that in a fantasy world they would have to adapt and look somewhat different to the way we...

Do traditional castles make sense as defensive structures in a fantasy world of dragons and spells? Our images of fantasy worlds are rife with castles, but the more I think about, the less they seem like impenetrable fortresses in a world with dragons, gryphon-riders, and spells. Traditional...
