    Magic Item Price Reductions wi. Craft Item?

    My group, being entirely composed of DMs and rules lawyers, haven't exploited that, and one guy can practically quote pages. You may be thinking of the sidebar about adding restrictions to magic items to reduce their cost. Or maybe the Magical Artisan feat which only applies to items you...

    Guys playing girls (chime in, ladies)

    I got 14% male, and a lovely (not really) picture of either a guy or a very square-jawed woman in an orange skirt suit. I'm definitely female, and among one of the girliest girls I know. I mean, I'd rather be bleeding to death than utterly lonely forever... To keep this somewhat on topic, my...

    Bastion Gen Con News

    I must be the only person in the world who genuinely enjoys that. :confused: My intolerance for stupidity still applies, but my extended gaming family (those who game with the people I game with, and occasionally once more removed) has little of the blatant "my first level character killed...

    Your favorite place to buy individual miniatures

    Thanks. This is why I ask here rather than just Googling. :)

    Your favorite place to buy individual miniatures

    I can google easily enough, true, but I'm looking for sites that people here have had good experiences with. Google would have a hard time telling me that. I've been burned too many times on internet transactions to just google for a shop.

    Your favorite place to buy individual miniatures

    You see, I'm buying a birthday present for my DM, who is absolutely addicted to miniatures. I've never paid much attention to them, so I don't know where to buy them. I'd ask someone in my group, but the only person who knows about them is... the DM, and I'd rather not tip him off. So if...

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    Oh my, yes. A guy named Brother Bill came to our Sunday school class and preached about how D&D was EEEEEEVIL. He was so full of himself. Another guy in the class (in my gaming group) was standing next to me and we were having a hard time not laughing at Bill. My friend's little sister was...

    Steam and Steel - A Guide to Fantasy Steamworks - extra teaser posted 4/27/04

    Gottabuyottabuygottabuygotta... I left my credit card at home, and the library closes before I could get there and back. Looks like tomorrow then. *sigh* Hope this one shoots up the charts at RPGNow!

    Kaiser's Bazaar Books "D" and up release dates?

    No real information, just a post I don't have a clue. I just wanted to say that I am a big fan of "collections of stuff" (Aurora's Whole Realm's Catalogue, anyone?), and will buy every single one of these that comes out as long as they're on RPGnow.

    Where you live: Gamer Paradise or Gamer Wasteland?

    Wasteland, definitely. No game books at any store in my city, the next city over I haven't been able to find any either (but I'm sure they exist). In Tokyo, I found the V:tM revised corebook in Japanese, and my friend said he'd found the D&D 3.0 books, but... No gamers that I've found. My...

    Well, ones that jump out at me include Play Style/DMing Style, Monsters & Monster Tactics (BADD as major subcategory), Worldbuilding/Dungeoncraft (Adventure Building as a subcategory?), House Rules, Character Design/Tweaking, Group Dynamics (with Problem Players as a major subgroup), Fluffy...

    GM Hold Music

    Oh, I love it. I'm using this the next game I run. "GMing is thirsty work."

    Exchanging Class Abilities - Paladin

    Sounds like a decent idea. Thanks. :) If I were to play this character, the campaign it would be in is a very highly optimized style, so if I were to give something up, I would be compromising the character's survival beyond where her luck can carry her. The DM agrees, so that is why I was...

    Why don't you post reviews?

    Let's Hear It For Apathy! Most of the books and PDFs I find myself buying don't make enough of an impression on me for me to spend my time on reviewing them. This may be due to the glutted market, or my increasing apathy toward the hobby.

    Exchanging Class Abilities - Paladin

    I'm not really looking for a "farmerboy" character. I'm just customizing the base class, mostly looking for a mountless paladin class, and how that would be balanced.
