    3.5 Scoops Discussion

    What about trying specialist wizards in this manner? 1) By choosing to specialize in one school all spells of that school are cast at +2 DC. All other spells have a -1 DC penalty (-2 on 7 schools is a bit much); or 2) Specialize with one school (as above) but instead of having *forbidden...

    Upparoachable East - your questions answered

    I don't think Fyodor would be mentioned in an obscure manner, more like Wulfgar was in "The Silver Marches"---that is, I guess I'm asking if there's any NPC's mentioned in a substantial manner (in Wulfgar's case, he was included in a 'side bar' that took up 2/3 of a page). If they didn't include...

    Upparoachable East - your questions answered

    As for specific FR personalities, Fyodor of Rashemen (of the Starlight & Shadows trilogy) comes to mind. Some people have worked on a version but I have a sneaking suspicion that maybe he was included. Perhaps you can answer that one, thanks.

    Publisher Opinions of FFE Events?

    I think WotC handled it rather well. Let's hope this makes a profound impression upon FFE. I'd like to see their material improve to the point that it's worth my time to give them a chance when it comes to new products in the future.

    RPGNow sells classic TSR products!

    Auld, me bucko, RPGNow, as SVGames, is merely the distributor. the ones doing the scanning are/were people at Bastion Press. I've had dodgy downloads as well and it p****ed me off to no end because I'm the sort who buys as soon as it shows up on the site...I chalk it up to a scanner or two who...

    Mortality Radio # 30: Ed Stark interview available...

    Hmm... Sp Ambidexterity's gone for good or...?...I can still see where people may be ambidextrous without favoring TWF. but whataver works. Hmm, no changes for the paladin? No improvements in order to bring about a better progression? Tsk. :(

    Twin Peeks: Races of Faerun and Arms & Equipment Guide

    Hmm, why no derro? They'd make for a decent RoF web enhancement, at least.

    Eldest Sons: The Essential Guide to Elves

    That's a fair question. I'm probably being a stricter judge than I normally am, in the sense that a 3 to me = the product does what it's supposed to (without making any unforgivable blunders or omissions, etc.). If there were some aspects of the work that I found sub-par or distracting, but it...

It's part of the OGL Interlink series that both PC and Green Ronin Publishing have contributed to. Eldest Sons was originally slated for...

    Well...have you acquired "Way of the Witch" yet? I'd like to hear how it fares against this one.

    Plot and Poison

    Plot & Poison is the latest in the OGL Interlink series of 20 race books, which is handled jointly by Green Ronin Publishing and Paradigm Concepts (GRP publishes theirs as "Races of Renown" while Paridigm's is called "Races of legend"). Plot & Poison was written by Matthew Sernett (an...

    [OT] Giant bird spotted off Alaska

    It isn't beyond the realm of possibility for an unknown species to exist. What does everyone expect, some animal to flap in at the nearest bilogy conference and screech/squawk/parrot "I exist, I exist!"...? Scientists are expected to be skeptical, but they haven't been everywhere. They haven't...

    Funny Email From a Publisher re. Reviews

    Hmm, reviewers get to keep the copies? Dang. When I used to do occasional reviews (years and years ago) they'd send a book and I'd have to send it back afterwards. :( Anyhow...perhaps the reaction from others will give Avalanche reason to reflect on how they think things are vs. the way it...

    Is buy.com honoring it's $14 price for ELH?

    I'm glad, mine's already shipped so maybe I'll get it by Monday or Tuesday. Truly, as interesting as the book was in the store there's no way I would've purchased it at the retail price. It's too bad, but at the same time I buy enough from them without a discount. I'm not made of cash, if so I...

    The Silver Marches

    The Silver Marches is the first regional accessory to be published for the Forgotten Realms since the FRCS came out. It may also be the last to use this particular format, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Silver Marches is a 160-page softcover book, written by Ed greenwood and Jason Carl. The...

    Why the ELH didn't do it for me...

    I'm purchasing the book, but the one thing I keep hearing--and which bothers me--is that multi-classed characters don't get a fair shake. In essence, that they're mush for whatever EL character, monster or trap they come across. Am I hearing it incorrectly?

    [OT] If I read the term "crunchy bits" one more time...

    In deference to Conan O' Brian, let's just refer to it as 'krunky' (as in "Those krunky books cost em a lotta dollars!"). Oh well, carry on. :)

    Is buy.com honoring it's $14 price for ELH?

    Let's see, I rechecked and now it says the ELH ships in 24-48 hours. Also, I notice they have what's called a "Price mistake of the Day." Something's priced ridiculously low until the alotted amount sells out....Oh, wait, Someone said they pre-ordered it just as cheaply months ago. That can't be...
