    Do you want gnomes in the first phb?

    Gnomes should be brought in more as true cousins of the dwarves. Very little in D&D highlights that. And with that being said, gnomes can go either way in the 4ePHB. With the bard class likely being left for a future supplement book (possibly even as a PrC, hopefully), they can go back to being...

    Designers: Say Yes to Bards! Save the Class

    Yes, bards as a PrC! I liked it like that in 1E, and frankly by making bards a PrC in 4e (almost as shown in Unearthed Arcana) would be a step up...

    Clerics & Druids: musings

    I'd just as soon get rid of d4's altogether and give most spellcasters d6 bu that's another thread altogether.

    DMG 2: yay or nay

    Ha, sounds like me. When in doubt, don't buy.

    Clerics & Druids: musings

    Hmm I wouldn't mind the loss of heavy armor, that would make the fighter look a little better in the process. Clerics don't necessarily need it anyway (IMHO), if they want to go 'templar' they could take a level of Fighter or join a prestige class with that flavor. No harm there. But giving...

    ECL Races, EVER worth it?

    That's something closer to what I'd want to do in most cases, including certain templates. I'm not a fan of going through monster levels before getting to take class levels.

    Best FR Paperback Novel?

    Elaine Cunningham's good, although the Magehound trilogy wasn't my cup of tea. Richard Baker's good, so is Mel Odom. Salvatore still has his moments, although the continuing effort to de-superfy Drizzt (while laudable) doesn't do much for me. I don't worship at the Altar of Ed but he's also had...

    Have you been published? Share your experiences here.

    Got a few written during 1e/2e (mostly elven and cleric-related), then laid off a long time. But if you notice an article on wizardly feats, oh, sometime in the late Fall (#325?), then it could be mine. :)

    Any decent Sac/Fair Oaks area RPG stores?

    had to ask, I moved down here 2 months ago and the last time I tried an address found online I found no such store...Of course, if I was bright I would've tried calling first. :P Truly, I'm looking for a decent store that hopefully stays open till 7. Perhaps with a decent comic selection?

    Subscribers receiving Dungeon 111?

    Still waiting for mine.

    D&D Urban Legends: I new this guy who...

    I did a paper on this in college. James Dallas Egbert III was a young genius type who operated on a level that even his teachers had trouble comprehending. Gaming was his only real way to connect with other people. As far as personal D&D stories go, I remember my gamer friend coming to school...

    Should I subscribe to DUNGEON?

    Pros: you subscribe you're getting the issues at discount and they'll be delivered so you don't have to trot down to the store. Cons: Your copy can arrive later than the same issue delivered to stores (at least it has been lately), also Mr. Fat-Fingered Mailman can mess things up by bending...

    Warduke mini?

    Nice idea, although they may compare numbers of old-timers vs. newcomers and wonder how many will get misty-eyed enough to make the purchase. Then again, if they make 'em well enough others may want 'em.

    Another "second-guess the paladin" thread

    There's a difference between harsh (but fair) and cruel, just as there's a difference between bad and worse. The hired thugs got off easy, with no permanent debilitating effects. there was no cruelty involved on your character's part. Personally I think the others in your group are suffering...

    Map Folio I Contents

    What can I say, I like maps on shiny paper for under $10. :) Yep, you can buy dice, an adventure accessory...or a map folio. Ahh the joy of choice. Typically, we buy something because of its utility. For those who have laser printers (or can whip up maps on CC in a jiff), this wouldn't be...

    Map Folio I Contents

    Umm, gee, let's see.... A) You don't have to pay for new ink cartridges for your printer because ~viola~ they're already printed out in the Map Folio I. (Printing in color will use 'em up, although I've done some in grayscale.) B) Beats making your own maps on graph paper (or even using...

    Why aren't paladins liked?

    Which is why it's a good idea to tie paladins to various L/G orders within a campaign setting. Heraldic (sp?) devices linked to such orders go a long way towards eliminating confusion.

    Why aren't paladins liked?

    Or a Clr 2/Ftr 3. In any case I prefer the prestige paladin and wouldn't mind seeing the blackguard as a 15-level Prc.

    Complete Arcane

    Complete Stealth, Complete Covert, Complete Adventurer (unlikely but hey...)...Complete Rogue? Too easy, I suppose, except that it balances nicely against Complete Warrior (in the same way Complete Arcane does against Complete Divine). It would be the only book of the four to use a class name...
