A while back, someone had started an issue-by-issue thread discussing the contents of every Dragon from #1 forward, with commentary on various interesting things. It covered the first 2-3 years, just when things were getting good... the thread got lost forever in that forum crash :( Suddenly I...

Remember that John Cooper review when he caught all that errata? And what was the name of that internet phenomenon... you know, the one that revolved around an unintentionally funny phrase... and it was parodied over and over again with videos and Photoshop jobs and t-shirts, until it was run...

I'll add Cyclops to the list of real-world monsters. Yeah, there are a fair number of core giants already, but still, cyclops is pretty iconic as mythological giants go.

The Book Of Exalted Deeds has a Joy domain and a deity to go with it: Chaav, the Smiling God.

Fields Of Blood does have rules for some of this stuff, but they're tied to the book's unit-scale system so you would need to do a bit of conversion if not using the system. It has a little bit on tunnelling under enemy fortifications. You make a roll once per week and it's a very dangerous...

To answer the post's original question: yes, the wagging finger was utilized. They explained that perhaps it was just as well, since every movie that week got 2 thumbs up and a review of The Fog may have broken that. :p

Good creatures in the monster books could enter into the game to help the PCs by being called upon, or to defend something sacred, or something like that. Many demons/devils have highly specialized functions, what about more celestials serving very specific roles visiting the Material Plane...

OK, so I have all these fiends in various gaming books (both official and third-party), we have the ongoing popular write-ups on unique fiends in Dragon, and there's going to be even more on planar evil guys next year as this board has been discussing lately. Do you feel that non-evil planar...

This is a review of a complimentary copy. Mechamancy: The Clockwork Magic is a 54-page PDF by EN Publishing, written by Robert Sullivan for use with 3.5 Edition. The product has a full set of bookmarks as well as a linked-up Table Of Contents. Layout is clean and neat with no border adornment...

Mostly regarding Henry's post: wasn't there an early column or two in Gygax's "Sorcerer's Scroll" for Dragon in which he outlined the books that were going to comprise what we now know as 1e? I seem to recall he wrote there would be FOUR books total, with D&DG being one of them, and that they...

If we take S'mon's idea and start with a low end of 10% for metropolis and add 2% of able-bodied population per decrease in center size, it would look like this with some rounding: Thorpe (24%) - 2100 Hamlet (22%) - 3650 Village (20%) - 6000 Small Town (18%) - 8900 Large Town (16%) - 15,000...

This probably belongs in the off-topic forum where it would also stay on that front page a bit longer. Don't know a lot about jazz but I know The Red Guitar (http://theredguitar.com) is new and that Melissa Stylianou (http://www.melissastylianou.com/) was nice when I met her while working on a...

Mongoose's venerable line of Encyclopedia Arcane magic supplements began in 2001 and ended, for now, in mid-2004, one year after D&D's revision from the 3.0 to 3.5 rules. With the earlier books in the line becoming hard to find and not up to date with 3.5, Mongoose has released a compilation...

Encyclopeda Arcane: Compendium by Mongoose, if you please. Planning to post a review.

Bumpity bump. Well now, it's June and I still have not yet located a copy of this revised printing anywhere in Ontario, Canada even after personal browsing of stores in two different towns, and placing a phone call to a third. I've been on the hunt for that "October 2004" additional listing on...

Bob Seger last turned up on the newest 3 Doors Down album, but hasn't toured in years because he says he hasn't felt physically up for the long grind that touring requires. If we are going to count solo artists, Sammy Hagar, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper and Ronnie James Dio are all still out there.

Aerosmith - Joe Perry released a solo album recently but Aerosmith is still together. Cheap Trick - most recent album of new material was 2003 and they're still touring. Journey - still around, no longer with Steve Perry though. KISS - are not touring this year but aren't officially broken up...

1. Empire Strikes Back. It's just so dark and cold and... haunting. All that snow and swamp. On the bad guy side there are AT walkers, Boba Fett, and Vader taking charge with no Tarkin or Emperor in the way. On the good guy side the characters from the first film get fleshed out and the...

edit: beaten to the punch.

Could anyone with Unearthed Arcana say if and how Spell Points from Chapter Two are handled differently in this product?
