    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    I wouldn't say it quite qualifies for tinfoil hat. I don't know about wanting it to be true. I would like to see Wizards do well. My reasoning for saying that is when they told retailers you can do 3.5 or 4 not both. As incidental evidence I know that two bookstore chains have had poor sales...

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    I seem to be a bit late in learning this. I got word when LPJ they were having a sale. I already own everything from Wizards (and TSR) from 1st through 3.5 in dead tree form. I was starting to collect the pdf from RPGnow. I have only a couple hundred dollars in Wizards products, which I now...

    Buying Skills with XP advice

    Has anyone formulated rules for buying additional skill points. I have players that would be willing to pay gp and xp for a couple more skill points. I don't think this would be unbalancing since they will be sacrificing XP. I was thinking in general the higher the skill level the higher the...

    FR Where is New Waterdeep

    Thought someone here could answer this question. I have the Waterdeep supliment from Wizards. In it I have seen references of "New Waterdeep". I have not kept up with FR in a while. Where is "New Waterdeep" and if anyone can point me to a source I would appreciate it. Thanks Vsper

    Charming: Do they remember?

    Charming I also think this depends on the situation. If it is a small town and johnny the extremely ugly town mage seems to have his way with all the girls in town for a couple of days each,then they find him disqusting, people are going to catch on. Actually I think anytime people start acting...

    (Mongoose) Book of Immortals - Out Now!

    Other oldies The gold box set is cool. Another interesting and hard source to find is the first book by Wizards called "Primal Order", published in 1990. Very good book if you can find it. A friend of mine has it. Its rather ironic since it handles immortality so well and now it seems Wizards...

    Feats, Skills Magic Items & Wishes

    I am interested in others opinions. Some magic items provide feats, but so far I have not seen a clear and fair system for saying this feat should cost this much and another cost a different price. Does anyone have a good system? Next I have in the past allowed characters to wish for a feat...

    Giving more feats ?

    I Wish....for feats This is kinda a side note to the feats idea. I had a wizard in my campaign who asked can I wish for a feat. I thought abou it, you can wish for higher stats, bring back the dead, just about anything else ...so yes. He was all excited as he said I will trade a level (20000xp)...
