Druids make a great choice for a party of fewer than 4 PCs, because they can occupy more than one niche. I'm running a campaign right now with 2 druids and a ranger, and I enjoy seeing how flexible the druids' roles are.

I think I saw that guy in the audience at an Allman Brothers concert in '77.

Second Life and d20srd.org for remote sessions. For face-to-face games, no computer aids whatsoever.

Sorry, I misread your initial post, but, yeah, that is one amazing site -- he actually sculpts the surface features of those globes by hand and paints them!

Topographically, there's nothing inherently farfetched about having seas at both poles. The problem is having temperate poles and a cold equator. It's really hard to see how a planet would be cold at the equator and hot at the poles, but here are some nearly-plausible scenarios, maybe just...

For us, in no particular order: - three players, with me as DM. - more often than not any magic item is available provided the community wealth level is appropriate - wide open choices on books and materials -- I trust my players - house rules: reroll 1s for PC hit dice and curing spells; drama...

In my campaign, the kuo-toa, the drow, and the duergar war unceasingly for mastery of the underdark. They are my big three subterranean bad-guy races. (Mindflayers live on the moon in my campaign). Sahuagin are like lizardfolk, too chaotic and ill-organized to be more than a local threat along a...

Northern Crown is late 17th century to late 18th century in flavor. My homebrew D&D game is more medieval.

Although that's certainly a big pig, I think forced perspective (making the boy seem closer to the pig than he really is) plays a major role in the "wow" factor for that photo. He's crouched several feet behind the pig, but look at it casually, and you'd think he was leaning on it. Still a big...

Still playing every other week with a friend who started gaming with me in November 1977. Two other guys from that era are geographically too remote for regular play but we get together on occasion.

Urden of Ten Thousand Rings (Treant with Druid levels, AL NG). The oldest sentient creature on earth, whose memory reaches back ten millennia. Urden appears as a gargantuan treant with gnarled skin showing the scars of many battles. He is the supreme sentinel of the living world, caring not only...

iron Kingdoms Planescape A few of my favorite RPG illustrators: Janet Aulisio (Space:1889, especially) Rebecca Guay (D&D 3.0) Tony DiTerlizzi (Planescape, MM 2e)

If only there were masses to appease! ;) The modules you speak of are old, not 3.5e compatible, and IIRC disagree with the published campaign setting on a number of points. I have no wish to release them or update them, but I can't stop people from distributing them among themselves. I...

Thanks for the chorus of support -- wow! I'll try to address a few of the questions raised by other posters in this thread. Orson Scott Card Alvin Maker series: check. J. Gregory Keyes: too late to really influence Northern Crown, but very compatible in spirit. Turtledove: haven't read it...

Southern NH used to be such a bastion for FLGSs. I'm still reeling from Wizard's Tower closing, sad to hear about another one.

Seconded, now that you mention it. I'd like to meet Crothian and JoeGKushner, both ENWorld heavyweights in my esteem. Whizbang Dustyboots, I'd like to share a beer with you sometime. Not to brag, but I have met Piratecat, and he's all that and a bag of chips. Col_Plahdoh did not disappoint...

I did some work towards a Jane Austen RPG a few years back: the five character attributes were Pride, Prejudice, Sense, Sensibility and Persuasion.

How about an alternate history colonial America with baroque-era science fiction and witchcraft? ;) But seriously... Just this morning, I was thinking how cool it would be to do a police procedural RPG, something like Homicide: Life on the Street or Law and Order. You know, a game where a PC...

Was the decision to cancel Dragon and Dungeon data-driven? If so, what data was used, and how was it collected? If it was not data-driven, what assumptions about how these magazines did or did not contribute to the strength of the brand influenced the decision?
