The Dragon Lance Article summary: 1) It is called Dragon Lance: Bozak Draconian Characters (p42). 2) It is by Jamie Chambers. 3) It is two pages chock full of text. 4) it details Bozaks as player characters etc. 5) it has a side bar about the origins of Dragonlance. There is also an...

Neither... it isn't that I dislike them. They both have their merits. But to better fit my game: I houseruled up my own. I also did a racial levels conversion of the Athas races. My players don't like anything with ECL. I hope the soon to be released rules by Dave Noonan do the use racial...

Didn't see anyone post info about the Al-Qadim section: 1) it is called al-qadim: the return of the sha'ir 2) it is on page 78 and it is about 4+ full pages of text 3) it has a discussion of the origin of the Al-Qadim setting 4) it has fairly complete rules for 3E sha'ir including: 1st...

Paizo is working on a Dark Sun 3.5 update (it doesn't have a date). On page 6 of the January 2004 issue is says Dave Noonan is working on it (Dragon and Dungeon articles forthcoming). -E They are also working on an OA 3.5 update with James Wyatt the author of OA.

Go open source. Especially for online only graphics (or stuff out of a digi-cam) or other not for CMYK printer stuff: The Gimp http://www.gimp.org Free, powerful, cross-platform, amazing. -E

I think there is some balkanization of the RPG industry. I think that 3.5E causes some factionalization of the D20 consumer audience. There was a certain uniting or banding together of RPG players when 3E came out. It attracted new players, won back some old players, and probably converted...

Rent "Bride with White Hair"! or borrow it from your local Hong Kong action movie affecionado. It is a Hong Kong action movie that has a BBEG who is a siamese twin (male and female or maybe bi-sexual). It is kind of a strange action movie (especially if you are only used to American action...

I'll be a dissenter, like Psion: While I love the Fiend Folio because it is well made, has nice art and many quality creatures, it also has a higher average level than the MM I and concentrates on many planar creatures (which may or may not be okay with your campaign). I'm not sure which one...

I hope psionics HB revised uses racial levels (a la Monte Cook) for the Thri-Kreen and Half-Giants. I just finished a conversion of the Athas races for my home game using racial levels (my players hate playing anything with ECL). I'd like to see the new revised material either way though. I...

The zombies from the game... They are not painted. The quality of the box that I have is all over the place (mostly average or worse say compared to mage knight plastic figures), they compare directly with green plastic army men if you ask me. They seem to be slightly smaller than 1" = 5'...

Funny, I am working up a conversion also. I use the Athas.org stuff as a starting point (and I'm considering submitting mine to their project when I'm done). But, you might not like mine: 1) I've never read the books, but I'm using my collection of DS game materials 2) I definitely...

Looks like I need to get dragons crown. I don't have the original (too bad), but I can get the pdf, then maybe pick up the original some time when I see it used. Thanks very much for all the advice and comments. I'm surprised there are/were that many Dark Sun players. I remember Freedom, but...

I'm looking for a little help with Dark Sun's adventures. I looked at svgames list of PDF products, but I'm having a little problem getting a grip on the adventures available for Dark Sun. I have Freedom, Road to Urik, Arcane Shadows, and Asticlian Gambit. Each of the modules can be played...

When I'm stuck for a name or a detail I use one of two methods: 1) XP as bait. I'll give a few XP (depends on level- at low levels 10-25 at high maybe 100-500) for any names or interesting details the players come up with so I don't have to. Of course these details have to meet GM approval...

I think 2 reasons: the target audience is smaller than D&D in practice (maybe not in idea though) the boards are slower right now in most forums for what ever reason (I'm slower because work is busier). I'm actually not looking forward to any supplement for d20M... just trying to refine my...

My players loved the low level lethality. The first reason was, they got guns. The second is they are the types that like to restart at first level often. They like the 1-5th level survival fest in D&D so the D20 Modern low levels really appeal. Besides they really freak when they make 3rd...

I understand the economics of the 3rd Edition MM and d20 Menace Manual. They were not sold at or below cost, the volume of 3E PHB, MM, DMG sold is sooo much higher than Modern they can afford to sell them at lower cost. Costs of production go down (or are spread out over a higher number of...

Having been to the Zone in Pasadena, just ask around. Or cruise in some time, hang out and see what people are playing. I'm sure you can get in on some games there in the back room. That is a FLGS!!! -E BTW. Sorry to hear about your divorce. Hope everything turns out okay.

http://www.animated-movies.net/AtlantisTheLostEmpire.html Still don't see the Mike Mignola thing, but sure enough on that page it says he did some character design for it. I still wouldn't call the film in his style. I mean comparing Hellboy to Atlantis: the Lost Empire stills I've seen on...

You are having problems finding Hellboy because it is http://www.hellboy.com/ and it is by Mike Mignola. I think you may be mixing up Frank Miller (another fine comic author) and Mike Mignola. If you search on google.com for Mike Mignola you'll find plenty of Hellboy stuff. The other...
