What makes you say that?

I have it and I've put all the pieces together. It's not any good. I could tell you why if you want to know, but I think the fact that you can still find copies in book stores years later and WotC has said they won't do another one speaks to its popularity.

Yes. I've played with a lot of them. To get very involved in third party stuff, you have to be very interested in the mechanics and possibilities of the d20 system. This is true for any hobby. You don't go to see indy movies if you only go to the movies for two hours of popcorn and explosions...

I didn't hate Miko all that much. I remember when she was introduced, we (the readers) were frustrated because the story was taking a tangent and it felt like there was a railroading DM using Miko to lead the party by the nose. I didn't like the situation either, but I thought Miko was an...

No, not at all. The way it was done was just not very good. If he had points to make or just a simple refusal, I might have been rooting for Roy, but what he basically said was "You're totally a bitch". Pretty juvenile. It made me lose interest in the character.

I liked Roy up until a strip was dedicated to him telling off Miko. After that, he just became an ugly character and I didn't care when he died. Rich has managed to ruin every character except Durkon for me with his writing, and I suspect that's only because Durkon gets so little screen time.

With this option rangers have more feats than fighters until the highest levels. They don't need to meet the most demanding prerequisites for these feats, they have much better skills, and very nice abilities like favored enemy, evasion and hide in plain sight on top. I think it's a little much...

You click on any counter in the PDF and copy it, then paste it to Photoshop or MS Word or whatever you're using. It works almost exactly the same as it would if you were using Digital, and you save quite a lot of money. I bought Gold and Summoned Monsters together for about $10. Together it was...

This is misleading. What you're saying is that you don't need an art program, just a program that can act in the capacity of an art program. MS Paint comes free with Windows, and there are more sophisticated art programs out there for free, so the problem is really not that someone might not...

This is what I was saying, according to what I read, Digital does not have its own capacity to arrange counters into the exact page you want to print. You have to copy and grid the counters into another program yourself. And if you have the PDF copy, you can do this anyway because each counter...

I'd been considering Digital for a while and I had a difficult time finding the exact features of the program or whether it was simply a collection of PDFs on CD like the Dragon Archive. I finally read something to the nature of Digital not having the in-software capability of designing your own...

That's not actually true. In theory you can simply close your eyes to gain those benefits, and in practice closing your eyes does not make you immune to illusions. When someone asks to be blind they usually have a concept in mind that involves being better than a sighted person in another area-...

MM3 is an excellent book, I think the only flak it received was in response to the John Cooper review that brought to light quite a lot of (very small) errors. Fiend Folio was one of those 3.25 books, written during the revision process, and I wasn't a big fan of any particular monster. It...

Going down a mental list of what I would call my favorites, the first one in the poll would be Creature Collection 3. I couldn't possibly call all of them my favorites, since the second and especially the first one were really poor, mechanically. So I didn't vote.

Have you been to ddmspoilers.com to see the whole set? There are quite a few good monsters in the set, and many of them are even uncommons. The ratio of monsters to character-types is higher, I think, than it has been before. It looks like an excellent set to me.

I'm a little puzzled why you would think it's impossible. It is neither all that unusual in the real world nor physically improbable, unless you're talking about a lake with dry tributaries and two draining rivers. Rivers branch apart all the time and a lake is essentially a river that's become...

Which rivers don't make sense?

I picked one up when they came out, in 2002 maybe? The figures look like the characters they represent, but they aren't exactly Reaper quality sculpts. IIRC their faces are pretty much smooth pewter. The items are not the same scale at all, one of them is a ring you could practically wear yourself.

I'm afraid we have been bamboozled. This thread is five years old. Babies who were conceived in the day of this thread are already speaking their minds about having to take naps in preschool. The ugly truth is that nobody cares about obdurium anymore.

When I was running Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, the PCs fought the "boss" monster once and defeated it pretty easily. When they fought it a second time, it was much more difficult. There was some joking about how I'd spiced up the monster since it was too easy the first time, but in fact, the...
