That's pretty weird. I have that address bookmarked and it totally sent me to a placeholder. I guess the internet is feeling unwell today.

Just saw this at rpg.net I checked the site and it is in fact an advertisement placeholder. I check that site at least a couple of times a week and I didn't know anything about this. Is greywulf or anyone else in the know able to make a comment?

Aha! Proof positive that the 4e camp is seeking to undermine 3.5 community. To give a person of such clear motivation power over a 3.5 discussion panel! I'm aghast. Nefarity! Conspiracy!! Shenanigans!!! Other words repeated frequently and loudly!!!! Good day. (;))

I think the OP is seeing something nefarious where it clearly does not exist. Pathfinder, True20, Conan, etc are all based on the 3.5 SRD. Pathfinder was conceived of well after the 3.5 revision and d20 Conan 2e and True20 Revised were released post 3.5 revision. I know for a fact that the Conan...

How about a half-fiend medusa, like the Gorgon sisters in Clash of the Titans?

Hear here. It just seems so arbitrary and capricious. Even if this is the first steps to WotC establishing their own on-line store the perceptions created in the community by such a grand, blundering maneuver can only alienate people. Nobody likes to be punished for something they didn't do. In...

It's disappointing that the leading company in the industry feels the need to punish its customers based on the actions of a few bad apples. There also seems to be no thought as to how this affects the intermediary providers, RPGNow and DrivethruRPG. Removing your product is one thing, failing...

Look here Main Page - A Wiki of Ice and Fire That's the best one I've seen. Constructing a canon of such a convoluted property is daunting. Good luck.

I see your point but must qualify myself by saying that realism wasn't a major factor for my own point. Again, I see your point but I also think that it views the subject with too narrow a lens. If class were used to designate what the character is good at as opposed to what they are supposed...

This is the meat of it right here. 4e's underlying unified systems would make a perfectly serviceable framework for a modern game. The trappings of D&D like race, class, and escalating magical power are easy enough to pare away or re-skin. If the game is designed from the floor up instead of...

Yes, you are correct. I think I just got to voting and noted that you didn't have Bone Hill, one of TSR's greatest modules ever. Not to be a prick but The Assassin's Knot without Bonehill is sort of like, oh I don't know, Needle.

You missed L1: Bone Hill and L2: The Assassin's Knot. Bone Hill is a great starting sandbox. There is so much to do in that module. It recommends a short level spread (2-4) but with a little alteration you can get the first 6 levels out of that one no problem. The Assassin's Knot is not as...

Holy Shizzt! The title said fan film and I figure it would be below The Gamers in quality. Boy was I wrong. Very well done. Above average choreography, good costuming, returning Aegis-fang, a class act all the way. I'd love to see more of this. PS Tell Hair and Make-up that a light mist of...

Not to labor the point but Great Cleave says, "This feat works like Cleave, except that blah, blah, blah... The point being it is a modification to an existing feat not a new feat with vastly different effects. Great Cleave + Whirlwind Attack = Dammit, I should've made this encounter bigger. I...

Here's somebody's interpretation through the lens of the Hyborian Age. Sprinkle with salt and/or Chaos as necessary.
