My take on the matter is that too many people have the (negative) view that paladins are supposed to be either arrogrant or the Dudley Do-Right type. So, when they choose to play a paladin they push that as their character's defiing aspect. This also ties into the notion of Lawful Good as being...

There will be plenty of interesting/revamped PrC's, I'm betting... The wu jen, elemental savant, war mage, true necromancer, , pale master...Hmm, what else?

Good luck to Gary and his goal of a complete recovery. Also, may the C&C project he's involved with manage to get completed on-time. (Considering I just got a practically new copy of the 1e AD&D Player's Handbook in the mail, can't help but wish him well with anything that has an old-school game...

Companies like Amazon.com, buy.com, etc. can afford to keep costs lower since A) they buy in larger quantities and B) people manage to get around local sales tax by ordering out-of-state (in the US) or out-of-country altogether (e.g., Europe). Depending on the country, sales tax and import...

Pillsbury Dough Golem? Wasn't that in the (irrevocably awful) Castle Greyhawk accessory? Greyhawk Ruins itself wasn't bad, although I'm definitely more interested in seeing something authentic by gary & Rob.

I bought it last year, liked it, but after a while I realized I wouldn't use most of the classes, etc...The problem for me was that most of the core AU classes looked better as prestige classes. Not knocking the concept, just saying that there will be less utility for someone who plans on...

Woohoo, muchos thankos! *thumbs up*

If there's one thing I'd like to see in a LotN: Vamps collected HC, it would be to see each vampire type in MM format with the stats from the table directly underneath, not in the back of the book as it is in the softcover. *nod* Either way, will keep a look-out for new products in the months...

I have a soft spot for Erol Otus and his work,starting with the Basic and Expert D&D sets (pre-Elmore editions). I once wrote and asked about 'em but he said they disappeared sometimed during TSR's existence (I'm paraphrasing). This, along with collecting the classics, is the next best thing.

Here's a non-zombie question for the blokes at Bottled Imp Games: Will we ever see a hardcover comprising the better parts of LotN: Vampires, etc.? Not that it wasn't all great, but I imagine a revised hardcover with tighter text and general streamlining would be nice to have. :)

The player's Guide to Faerun is a 192-page hardcover from WotC that just hit the shelves Friday (in the States anyway, apparently gamers in Germany recieved their copies earlier). Written by Rich baker, travis Stout, and James Wyatt, PGtF was written in order to update previous FR material (both...

Well I did it, turned the AU witch into an 'umbrella' prestige class called the Witch Lord, comprising the six types (wood witch, sea witch, etc.)...dropped the BAB to put it in line with Mongoose's and changed references to a Wisdom modifier to Charisma instead (since Mongoose's core version...

I kinda took a look and here's what the (3.5'd) BoHM says: "This book is a new edition of the previously published version of The Book of Hallowed Might. In this edition, we have updated the material to conform to the v. 3.5 revision of the core rules, corrected a few typos, included some...

Pre-painted mini's are a great idea for freeing time up for people building armies. Some of this, however, is a bit much. For what it's worth, FRP Games is allowing for pre-ordering of specific mini's as well as selling the leftover mini's. The cost for pre-ordering rare minis are a bit up...

I wouldn't quite say the AU witch lacks true witch flavor. It does have 'the Sight', which seems witchy enough. And there are a few other bits to it... Perhaps the best thing to do would be to use the MP witch as the 'core witch' but split the 'prestige witch' into six 15-level themed witch...

Hello there, been reorganizing the pile of stuff I'd call my campaign, right down to lists of acceptable prestige classes and core classes. While I'm still pondering whether to use some of the core classes as PrC's (such as the prestige bard and paladin in Unearthed Arcana ), my chief quandry...

Well, wasn't that fun. I was halfway through this review of Unearthed Arcana when a tiny multi-colored square appeared in the upper left part of the screen, then POOF--no more screen. Oh well, back to square one. *sigh* Unearthed Arcana (a 224-page hardcover by Wizards of teh Coast) is out and...

A number of mechanics are pulled from other WotC products, including the Wheel of Time, Call of Cthullu(sp?), as well as some OGL bits (The 3-level racial paragons are pretty much the OGL race levels posted by Monte Cook on his site, plus a few new ones for drow and half-orcs). Sources are...

Pretty good review. I wound up ordering UA because of the alternative way of handling XP advancement, but some of these other variants have me interested as well.

Perhaps you could expand your review? It would be helpful to hear more detail, more specifics.
