    Would you buy a hardcopy Tome of Horrors 3.5?

    I felt that in general, the contributors of Tome of Horrors didn't understand the scope of the 3.5 conversion. Too many of them were reassignments of skills and feats when a serious overhaul of the creature was needed. AC and HP are too low in most cases.

    Who has picked up "Dragon: Monster Ecologies"?

    I spotted it in Barnes & Noble, but that was a couple of months ago and it was in the periodicals. I kind of doubt it's still there, since B&N uses a service to handle their periodicals that precludes any kind of inventory. It may have just been misshelved, though. Couldn't hurt to look!

    Wizards 2008 releases?

    Reclaiming the license on Dragon and Dungeon is exactly the opposite of selling off IP. If you followed the issue, you would know that the decision was made to strengthen WotC's Digital Initiative, which is in the works. Bob, look at the 5th post in this very thread. We have products up to...

    Wizards 2008 releases?

    I've heard this comparison several times and what you fail to take into account is that we knew 3E was coming out at least a full year before its arrival. The product lull some insist was there, and the apocalyptic product you mention did not come until well after we knew 3E was on its way...

    Farewell, my Friend

    I'm still in a good mood. The final issue promises to be great and I can't wait to see it.

    Sources for month/day names and inspiration

    My suggestion is not to do this. When we play in Eberron, FR or another setting with a setting calendar, we ignore it completely. It doesn't really add much but it does remove a common knowledge base we all take for granted. When you use a setting calendar, your players will be flipping through...

    I think we need a new DM

    He just needs some experience. A DM who knows what they're doing will get you to look in the cabin by saying you hear a crash of glass from the cabin, or the cabin door creaks open and a raven flies out, instead of actually telling you that you need to look in the cabin. The other things you...

    D&D quickstart rules

    I bought two just for the minis alone. The Deathknell blue dragon sells for at least $20 all by itself, all of those minis on the secondary market would run at least $50, plus another $15 for tiles and $5 for dice. I would highly recommend wasting your money on the basic set while it's still...

    Getting a full set is unreasonable

    Boil some water and dip the mini in for a few seconds. The plastic will soften and enable you to make minor adjustments like straightening weapons, correcting warped bases, and making the occasional limbo champion stand upright. It doesn't adversely affect the mini at all.

    Canadian Supplier of DDM Cases?

    Vesivus has never offered cases and if you click the link, you'll see they're closing thursday. :p

    Is Power Creep Real? If so, how do you fight it?

    I avoided Shackled City myself, but I've heard the same thing from many people regarding the difficulty and opportunities for TPK. However, Shackled City was published by Paizo in Dungeon Magazine. It is not a WotC adventure at all. WotC's adventures have also been this difficult since before...

    Would You Give Wizards Unlimited Lower Level Spells?

    I like it and I've had the same idea. I have a house rule that spellcasters can use any 1st-level spell they have prepared/know at will around 15th level, and every two levels that extends to another spell level. I do limit it a little bit by saying those at-will spells can't be used for...

    Stat yourself... Off topic?? dunno.

    When you guys find this thread in Shilsen's sig, are you noticing that it's now three years old? Have you noticed that essentially all of the replies are just people coming in to "stat" themselves and that no discussion is ever stimulated? These are things that I have noticed.

    Is Power Creep Real? If so, how do you fight it?

    Did you ever run Sunless Citadel? Forge of Fury? The odds are stacked against the PCs in a lot of WotC adventures. They are difficult and can result in a TPK. This is not new; the very first encounter in Sunless Citadel can kill the PCs. The fighter only hitting on a 20 is very unusual...

    Night Below Gallery Released

    The idea behind a lot of the Night Below monsters was to get some of the difficult to find classics back out there. The original otyugh was from Giants of Legend. I've only seen one place selling Giants of Legend packs, and they're $50 each. I was lucky enough to pay $8 for my original otyugh...

    Colorful characters at the inn

    I think you're missing the actual trick to this one. ;)

    What games should I have on my shelf?

    You know, I bought Apples to Apples while I was on a party game kick, because it comes so highly awarded and recommended. I should have done some research first because I didn't realize that the game is essentially random words written on cards which you match together to try and create...

    Night Below Gallery Released

    I knew what to expect from the spoiler pictures, but a couple of the humanoids are surprise favorites- the assassin and halfling tombseeker. Is this the set that's supposed to have new mount rules and/or interchangable riders? I thought that was going to be Desert of Desolation, but I notice...

    Iconic characters, statted out?

    Can we not say the name Mialee? I wouldn't want to breach copyright law by using Mialee to refer to Mialee if Mialee is product identity. I have to say it's a peculiar notion not to be able to say Mialee on a message board when talking about Mialee, but if Mialee is not allowed then I guess I...
