Try signing up to the Irish gaming mailing list - www.yahoogroups.com/groups/igaming There's also www.irishgaming.com and www.gameeire.com for forums and news posts. There are two active game shops in Dublin that I can recall - the Fourth Dimension and Sub City. Plus, we have great cons.

I started GMing one D&D game again after spending far too long playing WoW. Suddenly, I found myself looking to the rogue to do the most damage (and to use 'stealth' as a verb), and the plot involved collecting four elemental spheres contained within half-elemental rapto-, er dinosaurs on an island.

While I work for Mongoose, and am therefore far from unbiased, my PPH has stood up to a daily regimen of a) being jammed into a bag b) having a heavy laptop pushed on top of it c) being consulted hastily and at random in various coffee shops d) occasionally being thrown against walls as well...

Jeremy, I've no problem with you pointing out that the Massive Damage sidebar was missing* at every possible opportunity, but the above's simply untrue. The classes, supernatural abiltiies, gming advice and settings chapters are entirely original to the book. The core mechanics (skills, feats...

Wow. That's very close to the basic concept of my Infernum game (out soon from Mongoose). I must grab that book...

It's not the ones I got, but the one I got away that haunts me. Back when I just started gaming, a bookstore in town had a load of the old MERP supplements - Minas Tirith, Mines of Moria, Towers of the Teeth...all great stuff, and they were priced for next to nothing as the shop didn't...

Working for Mongoose will build up your resume something fierce. Listing books I had a significant part in: Hogshead: Nobilis: Game of Powers FFG: Steam and Sorcery, Blue Planet: Natural Selection AEG: Relics, Wilds, Guilds Mongoose (deep breath): SG: Titans, Quint Halfling, Book of Dragons...

OGL Wild West is based on the d20 Modern ruleset, but it's OGL and therefore standalone - everything you need is in the book. It revises character generation and abilities by adding loads of new talent trees based on your occupation, a Luck ability to give PCs an edge, and it redoes the Combat...

In Sharn City Watch, half the PCs have just completed Shadow of the Vampire's Blade rather efficiently (web the airship to the tower, storm it, and beat up the vampire even when they're all exhausted from an earlier fight with him and he's fresh and fast-healed), while the rest are investigating...

Classic Play: the Book of the Sea (Mongoose) has a load of stuff on underwater adventuring, magic and creatures. (I wrote it, so if you've any questions or want to know how it would cover problems in your campaign, ask away :-)).

Monster Encyclopedia is all new, never-before-seen monsters...

The PCs are working for the University of Aundair in the Eberron setting. They're on board the university airship Crown of Wisdom, working for deranged gnomish Professor Cuttlevale (think the Professor from Futurama), and have flown up to the Frostfell north of Khorvaire. 'Oh my', says...

I stole 'valence' too, although I vaguely recall it's not original to Sep.

There's a Master of Hounds PrC in the Quintessential Halfling.

Crom Dubh: CROM Dhuv. Pooka: FOOK-a. Grogoch: Gro-gOCH (like loch). Merrows isn't a Gaelic word, afaik. I'm open to correction on the above.

Shameless Plug: I wrote a chapter of Quintessential Paladin II which gives the tools for designing a code. Basically, the code is divided into about a dozen different sections (Conduct in battle. Lying, Dealing with Prisoners, Honouring the Gods etc), and you pick a rating in each section. The...

Traitor's Manual doesn't have any new secret societies, but does have lots of new splinter groups and sub-factions. Really, having a limited number of secret society possibilities makes you _more_ paranoid - 'did he protect that bot because he's a Corpore Metal member...' and so on...

Sharn: City of Towers. I'm running a city watch game set there, which is tricky without the book.

Freaky thing with tentacles that doesn't come from another plane. Magic mutant.

When I was playtesting The Book of the Sea, I said to the players 'I'll run any sort of campaign you want, as long as it's naval.' They decided on...the dread Pixie Pirates. Five 7th level pixies and a shrunken paladin, armed with a pounch of magical ship-shrinking dust and a thirst for...
