Greatsword or greataxe. No subtlety there, I must admit. Secondary (occasionally primary) weapon is usually a warhammer. Always good for pummelling opponents into stupidity (and/or mush). Hulk smash! (I WANT to be a roleplayer, but overcoming the munchkin tendency is so difficult...

Shadowlight, It's been years since I read the Thomas Covenant books (and then I only read the first trilogy), but I definitely enjoyed them. If I had time to read anymore, they'd be high up on my list of books to re-read. The novels do require a bit of adjustment if you're primarily used to...

Shadowlight, Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen that yet. It's been forever since I read the novels, but I was most interested to see that Monte's giants are based less on traditional D&D giants and more on those appearing in Steven R. Donaldson's "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant." Cool. :D

I've got to agree with those who feel 3 years for a (fairly minor?) revision of such widely discussed, debated, and dissected rules seems pretty reasonable. Then again, I only bought my original copies of the core books 4 months ago, and I still intend to grab at least the revised PHB as soon...

Has anyone tried out the "Holy Warrior" core class from Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous? I just purchased the book an hour ago, so I can't speak for it too much. However, based on a cursory glance and the numerous glowing reviews here on EN World, I think this might be just the "paladin...

Thanks, Jester. I appreciate the help.

Hey everybody. Hope you can forgive a fairly basic topic. I'm a long-time Dungeon Master (ranging all the way back to the old Basic D&D set and first-edition AD&D), but I just finished running my first adventure under the third-edition rules. It was a generally successful mission, and now...

When my campaign gets rolling, Liber Bestarius is going to see a LOT of use. I really like some of the new races, so it would have to be my first choice. Monsternomicon is pretty cool, though. I don't see myself using Tome of Horrors as much as some other DMs, but of course, I only just...

Speaking as someone with no vested interest in S&S (I've never even submitted a spell or monster to them): I suppose it's a tricky line to walk when revising earlier books. If the new version does indeed prove to have updated stats, revised artwork, new racial info, and (according to at least...

I'm more or less a "not-that-rich" myself. If my local store didn't have this decent sale coming up, I might not buy the old version. My collection still lacks quite a large number of other books that would be just as worthwhile! I just skimmed the S&S boards again, and for those who care, it...

To answer the question about a free download for the new material, the answer appears to be "no." There's been a lot of discussion about that over on the Sword & Sorcery boards, and the official answer from the company seems to be that there is too much revised and new material to make it...

Just in the past few days I ordered and received my copy of Eden Studios' "Liber Bestarius," and it might be a good resource. The book contains several new races that look fairly interesting. The reptilian Skresh, the powerful-yet-goblin-sized Zug (nothing like a stronger variant of an old...

My best guess on a location was the Danvers State Hospital in Massachusetts, a fairly well-known former asylum and setting of the recent (and not half bad) David Caruso horror film "Session 9." However, in looking at a few photos I pulled up online just now, I don't think that's right. Still...

Nightfall, Thanks much. That was exactly the sort of info I needed. Of course, being a completist, I'm now forced to buy both books. And I still need the deities book, and Hollowfaust, and Burok Torn, and CCs I and II, and... Ouch. My wallet hurts... :)

Greetings. Hope everyone won't mind a newbie popping in to ask a question. I just playing third edition D&D in the last 2 months, so I have a lot of catching up to do, and this board has been a great place for lurking and learning! (I'd played earlier D&D/AD&D editions for years before too...
