I have a bunch of plastic hair clips shaped like butterflies, in a variety of mostly metallic colors. They clip onto the head of a D&D mini very nicely. I originally got them to represent stirges & their attachment to hapless PCs, but we've been using them for marks as well.

QFT. Lots of the stuff in the AD&D DMG recommended reading list is either straightforward post-apocalyptic SF (Hiero's Journey, Sign of the Labrys) or fantasy-looking stuff that reveals itself be SF (Changeling World aka Empire of the East, World of Tiers, the Witch World books). How about...

Yeah, that's cool because it spans multiple periods! Gee, I sure do love Wikipedia. Still haven't come up with any fantasy archetypes (although Canticle and Hiero's Journey certainly feel like fantasy). Maybe there's a great vein of post-apocalyptic fantasy novels waiting to be written?

Inspired by some of what y'all are reading, I did a search for Night Shade Books at the NY public library and turned up all kinds of goodness - I quickly maxed out my 15 allowable inter-library loans. I'm particularly psyched about Liz Williams' Detective Chen books and the Manly Wade Wellman...

I've been thinking about fantasy apocalypses - world-changing cataclysms of any variety, from Greyhawk's Rain of Colorless Fire (which seems to fit the traditional Cold War model of two warring empires destroying one another, and most of civilization, in a big bang) to the Forgotten Realm's...

Yeah, the spells you gain per level, as well as the number of feats and class features you get, can differ between classes in older editions. Still, it's barely noticeable that at a given level a cleric has a few more or less daily uses of their Xth-level spells than a wizard. It's the rate in...

I reckon you mean things that advance at different rates between classes in 3E, like BAB and saves - although it'd be pretty cool if you had been championing a return to OD&D-style differences in XP required to advance a level. :D Does the ability to do exceptional stuff outside of combat...

Our group is looking for new players! We started gaming together in October of 2005; we generally meet every Wednesday, but are flexible to accomodate everyone's schedules. Our current party is 15th level: - a half-elven ranger/wormhunter, famed for his phenomenal tracking ability and lethal...

Our Age of Worms campaign is looking for new players! We started gaming together in October of 2005; we traditionally meet every Wednesday in the neighborhood of Broadway and 105th. Our current group, some of whom were recruited from EN World, are playing: - a half-elven ranger/wormhunter...

Nope, we'd be starting next week (Oct. 26 I think) at the soonest. Email sent!

A new weekly campaign is starting up & looking for players! GAME INFO: D&D 3.5 rules, beginning with 1st level characters built using 28 points & the SRD. The campaign will be set in Greyhawk & will draw from the Age of Worms adventures in Dragon. The plan is to meet every Wednesday night in...
