I hope that no one takes this article (and I realize that no one, up to this point, has done so) and interprets it as if the title is "You're not a real gamer until..." I am unlikely to ever be able to afford a bespoke gaming table, my groups and I have never really been into terrain or minis...

Drat; I had hoped that with some of the Mechanics going their separate ways a while back, that the property might be licensed out, at least. Do you know if that would still be a possibility, if someone were willing to take on the project (possibly one of the aforementioned Mechanics)?

Oh Yeah!!! (Insert Kool-Aid Man smashing through a wall here.) I have been hoping and wishing for The Forge to be completed for years! I hope they are able to publish Oathbound Seven in dead tree version (not Dragon Wing's problem, but still...) Now, if only someone could only convince the...

True; most subscription services (of which I have been party to several) give you no notice whatsoever before the items show up on your doorstep. Paizo's "we're going to ship issue X soon" e-mail is pure courtesy, and a golden opportunity (though I have never felt it necessary to use it) to...

My group has met about once a month for a few years now (I never realized what a pain it could be to get six 30-somethings with families in one place at the same time until I tried it), and it definitely works for us. What has already been said here certainly applies -- extra recap before...

QFT -- I may put this as my sig for a while. I have never understood the edition flame wars (or system flame wars, or what have you). We fall into a subset of a subset on the cultural map -- why fracture ourselves further?

Thanks much for the link, Treebore! I'll do exactly that -- :D

Thanks goodness for that -- as a player, I love the possibilities of the 3e ruleset, but GM'ing it tends to require more bookkeeping skill than I possess. My group is pretty flexible -- there isn't a single rules lawyer in our regular group of 7. Four of us have GM'd different systems at one...

I have been curious about Castles and Crusades for some time now, but there are a couple of questions I have before I make the plunge of a purchase. First of all, no matter where or how hard I look, I cannot seem to find the equivalent of a DMG for sale, only the PH and MM. Is the DMG material...

I hate when shows are cancelled without a wrap-up, goodbye, fare-thee-well, or whatever. My wife and I both enjoyed both of these shows, and I think the least they could have done was to wrap them up in some way. Especially with the writer's strike going the way it is, I can't imagine them...

Don't let The Horse and His Boy get you down -- it is easily the least of the entire series. Worth reading, if you are intent on going through the whole sequence, but by itself I had to plod through it.

Thanks for the recommendation -- I'm always on the lookout for new reads. Is Catton's work in print and available?

I don't have my 1e/2e books handy, but you're certainly right -- thanks for the correction. That's one reason I have struggled with 3e at times -- I don't have enough of a head for detail. Though at one time (before family, college and real life pushed all the important stuff out of my head) I...

Scanned the thread, and I don't think anyone has mentioned this -- between 1st and 2nd, the eliminated the weapon vs. armor table. Of course, since absolutely no one I played with ever used it in the first place, maybe it doesn't count. :D

Curiously enough, I am about halfway (350 pgs.) through the first volume of this myself. Does the quality of the writing stay at this level throughout? I was hesitant to begin these books - because of the length, I was afraid if they were dry, I wouldn't be able to stand it. But if the...
