Thanks for the quick replies. Especially in clarifying our misunderstandings with your initial (quick) response.

Very nice. I can't wait. The others are little expensive for "commons".

Cons: 1) They allow a save (except for orb of force, which has no secondary effect). 2) They are a touch attack, so you can miss. Usually when you need them the most. As such you also get cover, concealment, in combat, etc bonuses. 3) They are single target only. 4) They are only one energy...

I would like Friday, I may have a couple of others who would be interested as well. I will point them at this thread.

Where did the term "splat book" come from? I know that it references the player options books for classes in 3.x, but I can't recall where it got the "name".

I will be there. I may even have some Alea product to distribute. Not sure about that yet though.

Action points, Paladin Prestige class (UA), Psionics, and of course Alea products :) There are others but where does "variant" end?

Multi-hour wait. Last time I was there it was 3-4 hours if you got there early. Later that day the line was 2x as long.

I have waited in that line... Never again. You are looking at somewhere between 3-5 hours. Longer if you get there later int he day. We got there about 8 or 9am and we got a late lunch at the Con (~1pm). Mind you, this was the first year in Indy, so things were a little hectic, however this...

Yeah, still waiting on my order, but then I expected an "overwhelmed with shipments" delay.

It's what I ended up doing.

I have done the same research. There is nothing that really does what Visio does for free. You can download a "trial" 30 or 60 day copy of Visio from M$ directly. Inkscape is a vector program (where you get to create all of your own shapes and such before you begin you diagram) and Dia seems...

I would be happy to help out.

I have Undermountain, and wish I didn't. I have played in 2 Ravenloft games and if you can get by some of the insanity of the interior castle its not too bad. The areas leading up to the castle are good. There are sections of the castle proper that have made more than one party think that...

This is my main beef. I could handle the tiny maps, if this was a coherent adventure. If I had known that the book was not an adventure I would not have bought it. I haven't noticed anything about the encounters themselves that are boring or anything, just not put together like they should...

It gets worse from there. I picked it up expecting an "adventure" like Ravenloft or Demonweb Pits. Instead I got some "encounters" shoved into a create your own adventure. I already own the second edition version so this book was a waste of $35. The only thing I don't regret is that I...

Dragonlance stuff by Weis and Hickman or Deathgate Cycle by Weis and Hickman or the Darksword Trilogy by Weis/Hickman (can't rem which). I also second the E.E.Knight stuff. I have liked all of his works that I read. As weird as it sounds, Stephen King's "Eyes of the Dragon" is pure Fantasy...

There seem to be a large number of rolls that must be made and DCs that appear to change "sometimes". Each spell at each casting has a chance of its DC changing. That will cause problems for "most" games. There will be confusion; "accidentally" forgetting to alter the DC, using the wrong...

Those rules sound very interesting. How did the skill check balance having large numbers of spells castable at lower levels?

Happy Birthday.
