I play in Old One's campaign. He rolls all combat rolls in the open and as a player I find that makes a huge difference in having a sense of needing to stand and fight or run off. We've gotten pretty banged up when we failed to fully research the enemy and on several occasions we've withdrawn...

We've been playing (I think we've had 3 or 4 sessions this year) since about April or May. Of course, Old One is WAY behind in write-ups.

Marauder X has a good point. Magic items are resources to be used and used up. Cut down on the number of non-charged or non-limited items while increasing situations where magical assistance is very helpful. This will encourage the party as a whole to push for the use of any items available...

Go to the local pharmacy and ask the clerk to help you find a bottle of Folate pills. They're folic acid. I take three pills a day myself for another ailment (cholesterol related). Green leafy vegetables also contain folic acid so that's why the one doctor recommended vegetarianism. Also...

The Entry Pack has 16 random figures, out of those listed, and some other materials in it. The list above is for those folks who plan to try and collect a complete set so they'll know what ones to chase.

I'd like to see a lot fewer "character" minis and more monster minis. I'm also wondering what they based their unique/rare decisions on. I would have thought gnolls would be rare instead of unique for example.

Here's something interesting ... I'm not going to debate whether the changes in 3.5 are bad or good, that's subjective and best left for each individual to decide. Instead I will merely point out that releasing 3.5 has once again split the market into two groups, those who play the older...

You could also let them discover a ring of stone skin or other magic item on the wizard they just slew and have the thing be crusted with diamond dust. Quandry, do they keep it and leave the PC dead, do they offer it as a sacrifice to bring the PC back ... ?

BRAVO! Big step in the right direction. Looks like they're trying to solve all of the things I was annoyed by, which to me means that when my renewal notice comes I'll be signing on again.

For me it was during high school in 1980/81. The members of the chess club (which I was part of) had all become good friends and were into board games, war games, etc, so it was only natural that after someone discovered a new game the rest would soon be introduced to it. One afternoon during...

I have a hard enough time keeping a campaign going and being creative if I run once in a blue moon! There's not likely going to be a way I could manage 3 full length sessions in a week. Of course if it was a simple dungeon crawl run for one hour each day during lunch then maybe ... Used to do...

I haven't played Dawn Patrol in years. I've been jonezing to play, but have no idea which storage box my copy is packed away in and would have to teach a whole new squadron of "pilots" how to play. Of course I'm also itching to play Speed Circuit ...

After reading those two reviews and already having been somewhat intrigued by the magic system info from Monte's design diary all I can say is ... MUST HAVE THIS BOOK NOW! :D

I've been thinking about some of the ways this might be solved and the one about passing multiple notes, frequently seems as good as any suggestion. Get the players used to receiving notes on all sorts of things. Instead of slowing game play down by writing all of them during play, try to have...

I think everyone here has missed the obvious clues in the early posts: "Will end world hunger and foster world peace" Obviously the game is Cinder: The Ashes, a game of playing the lonely, smoldering, lifeless, rocky remains of a scorched, dead earth after God brings down his final fiery wrath...

Back in 1988 I was sitting in the office of my then employer at 6am wishing TSR would produce a "pocket" version of the core rule books with plain covers, black and white, mostly text interiors. My reasoning at the time was as follows: These would be portable, and less likely to draw unwanted...

Where FLGS' and distributors should take their biggest issue with WOTC isn't as much holding the big chains to street dates, but in the amount they sell the books to the chains for. Too often I've seen the big chain and internet retailers selling the books for barely above or even at what it...

Congrats Joe, nice review. I'll be looking for the book. Also, when at GenCon look for some of the distributors. I know at least a couple will have booths there so go talk to them. Make sure to comp them a couple copies so they can see how good it is.

Go figure ... reference the map and not have it to refer to. :rolleyes: Thanks for the info!

I had to clean the soft drink off my monitor because of this one. :D
