    D&D Insider: Losing your toys

    Can I loan or resell the books on my Kindle? What happens if I drop my Kindle? A Kindle is *much* more likely to be stolen over a book. What happens if the Kindle format goes out of style? I can loan or resell my books forever. If I drop one I dust it off and move on. I've never had a book...

    d20 BESM: Everstone Companion

    In some ways the setting makes me think of the bastard child of Earthdawn and Jorune with a little Lovecraft tossed in. And as you point out, it is all about the Big Magic. There doesn't seem to be an air of worshiping at the Altar of Balance in the game. I mean it has some but not as...

    D&D Insider: Losing your toys

    If I pay money for something I want it actually be *mine*. Which is why the Kindle is such a failure in my mind. As is the DDI. I don't want to 'rent' something that I may well use years or even decades after a gaming system has been abandoned by its creators.

    Top Ten Reasons I Love 3E

    What I love about 3.5 is the versatility. With the SRD/OGL you can push the rules in so many directions and still have a similar core mechanic. Look at M&M, the best supers game ever written. Or any of the OGL books, especially the Steampunk book. I'm currently reading Everstone and I am loving...

    d20 BESM: Everstone Companion

    I'm still working my way through Everstone, doing a cover-to-cover read. So far I'm loving it. One thing that struck me is that the classes make me think of the CA Warlock. Which is a good thing. I consider the Warlock to be what the Sorcerer *should* have been. A nice tight, limited list of...

    Killing Deities

    You can't kill Gods in my campaigns. The fact that D&D deities even have actual stats is absurd. They are GODS. Want to get rid of a god? Undermine his/her church. But the God themselves can't be killed by a mortal. And gods don't just let anyone join their ranks.

    My first thought was, "They're elves?"

    d20 BESM: Everstone Companion

    I just picked up a hardcover copy of this book last weekend for $5. So far I have been very impressed. Impressed enough to order a copy of BESM D20 as well. The customizable classes are great. And I like their take on races, with the hit die being tied to the race rather than the class. Highly...

    How much money do plan on purchasing 4E/GSL products this year?

    Zero, zip, nada. I'm sticking with 3.5 and plan to pick up Pathfinder after the final launch in August.

    How much money do plan on purchasing 3E/OGL products this year?

    The economy has kicked my butt. I wanted to vote $500+, there is easily enough stuff out there that I want. But I am likely to spend less than $100 this year. I am bummed.

    Highest level you've played

    In 1E I played a Ranger from 1st level to 26th. Took me six years to pull it off. I have his portrait on my office wall today.

    See, 4E is harming the gaming community...

    6 months later: impressions of 4e

    Six months out I still don't consider 4E to be D&D. Ask again at any future date and I'm still not going to think it's D&D.

    Indispensable and Valuable Non-Fiction Sources

    As a GM, one of the most useful books I have in my collection is -Pocket Ref- by Thomas J. Glover. It can be found in most hardware stores. Invaluable. I keep a copy on my desk and one at work. I've lost count of how many times it helped me during a game.

    Tell Me About M&M

    Best supers genre system ever. And the supplements are solid and entertaining.

    Changeover Poll

    Except that the 3E fans were quite correct about 2E and the 4E fans are totally wrong about 3.5. 3.5 is the last edition of D&D.
