Ah! Well that's good, then. Looks like I just need to read a little further--I'm admittedly still pretty early in the book, and may have been premature with my complaints.

I'm reading through the adventure now, not sure if I'll ever get to run it, though I hope to. But one I think I would've really liked to see is something like this for most locations or events or random encounters. For the most part the various NPCs the players meet as slaves have been largely...

The Realms' problem, in my mind, ties directly to its age, the number of novels that have been written in it and the world being changed time and time again with updated new meta plots. For example, I would love to play a Star Wars RPG set either right before or after the original trilogy, but...

I've only played a handful of RPGA adventures, but I liked the Fate of Camp 15 a lot. It had some good chances for roleplaying and a couple amusing characters. I felt DALE 1-7 Arts was awful, but it may have been the DM. It seemed like it had good RP encounters, but the DM I played with just...

I would have to say 4th edition. And close behind that, probably Basic D&D/Rules Cyclopedia D&D/Whatever you want to call it. They're both easy to run, easy to play and fun. If I want a long, drawn out and story-driven game with lots of glorious combat as well as character interaction, I'll...

I am excited for any possible 4e CRPGs. It would be like a dream come true. That is, if they do it right. I would love a plot heavy, turn based 4e game set in the Nentir Vale or something. If they made that, and it was good, I could just die happy. Even without that, it looks like the...

I don't know how I feel about this. Mainly I'll be let down if I can't be a rat catcher. And if career isn't random. I mean, doesn't that change the point of the game to some extent? It looks like it might be fun, but they seem to be taking a serious board game route. That may be cool, I don't...

"Legends claim that the world was once nothing but ocean, and the sea-dwelling peoples were the kings and rulers of all that was. They worshiped lost, submarine gods known as the Circle of Klaset. The priests of Klaset knew of Raishea even then, and kept her captive at the sea floor, drawing her...

Thanks for all of the advice and resources. I think I'll definitely get the bestiary, and probably Sigmar's Heirs, too. I really wish I could find the game master's kit for cheap, since there are so many tables I would like to have at the ready. I'll hit up my local game store tomorrow when...

I got the second edition book. I figured it wasn't that much more expensive, and the number of supplements kind of pushed me over the edge. I've book looking over the game, and I'm pretty excited to play. I'll probably get my group to run it sometime this upcoming week. Thanks for the advice!

My local game store has the 1st edition of the game for fifteen dollars. Should I buy it? Or should I shell out another 15 bucks for a copy of the second edition?

As a poor college student, I like the idea of the cheap softcover books a lot. A whole lot, in fact. I will definitely be sure to pick those up from time to time when I want a new D&D fix but lack 30-40 dollars to throw down.

I've never read any Conan stories, but I was looking through a comic book adaptation (maybe not the best representation), and I stopped when he was about to rape some frost lady. No offence to anybody, but, in most situations, a protagonist who's a potential rapist isn't something I'm into. All...

I have looked, and have yet to ever see a book by Vance in my local bookstores. Even the used books stores, including the one that is essentially a pile of hundreds of obscure, ancient books (including tons of old Science Fiction, fantasy and various pulps), don't have it. They don't carry any...
