Even when I was a kid I absolutely *hated* Speed Racer.

Well, Driddle, I can't answer your questions per se, but I am in agreement with your sentiment. I'd like to add, How many more monsters and monster races do we need - especially evil ones? How many more demons and devils, and undead? Now while I do admire the creativity and realize the need...

I guess I am in the minority here, but I truly enjoyed the first book (the original, not the re-writing I heard about). I am one of those that don't enjoy King all that much, but I like his style in this one. The Drawing of the Three really surprised me (in a good way) and even the Wastelands...

It has been 17 years since I played this under one of the best DMs I have ever encountered. Pharoah is burned into my memory especially the Maze and how my wizard ran for his life from those Minotaurs time and again. If there ever was a series that should be resurrected to 3.5 it is this one...

This is the kind of review I look for: straight and to the point. IMO, you gave enough detail to allow us to determine whether or not this is a PDF worth our time. This is especially true for DMs such as myself that really don't buy unless I can flip through what I am looking for. Far too...

Like arwyn, print products for me. I want to see it first which PDF's don't offer. I do like the idea of a modular setting where parties can visit and can come and go as they continue to adventure. This was the one thing that I absolutely loved about the old Judges Guild's City State of the...

Scarred Lands by far. The core classes are there but the world is sufficently bent to give a great flavor to an "otherness" feel. It provides new parameters that will challenge you as a DM and players alike. Great potential here! Check out Nightfall's thread on the Scarred Lands that runs on...

Like Menexenus, I too find myself having difficulty coming up with interesting 1st through 3rd level adventures. For me it much easier to create as the levels increase, though epic is something I have never tangled with before (and I am not sure if I want to). I also have to agree with arnwyn...

I second Crothian's postion. While it isn't cheating I can understand your player's position in that if you are going to invest in a character you want to start them out right from the beginning. The way I read it is that the "incompleteness" he voices is the gaining of levels without working...

As has been said many times, but I feel the need to express it also... THANK YOU!!! Greyhawk is still loved by many of us.

Wow! That sure brings back memories. I also think it shows that sometimes the black & white ink drawings are some of the best in the business.

A tentaclehead dinosaur... I swear they are pushing the envelope further and further.

GREYHAWK and SCARRED LANDS I voted for Greyhawk because the world is still so intriguing before the whole Out of the Ashes thing. It is the world I started in and we still campaign in. I mention Scarred Lands because I just discovered this not to long ago and it is so very different and...

Trollwad - I have been over to that sight and I, too, have been amazed at the number of participants there and how active the board is long after RttTEE was initially released. That says something about the quality of the product and maybe it points to some DMs out there that were wanting...

Good post, Olive. Okay, here is what I'd like to see. Hey, I can dream, can't I? :heh: As said, a 3.5 revision. That the Powers that Be would get a clue that Greyhawk is a very viable setting rather than just default. New modules. I don't know how well Monte Cook's RttTEE sold but when I...

You don't want comliness then don't use it. You want comliness then use it. I truly don't see what the problem is one way or the other. Splitting hairs galore! (of course some would say we are doing just that by separating looks from the rest of the charisma stat) I mean how many house...

Long before there was 2E we had a house rule for a "Comeliness" stat all the way back in the very early 80s. We even called it just that, comeliness. Like anything else, if it works for your campaign so be it. Roman, I concur with what you have stated about Charisma not being universal across...

I picked fighter because, IMO, at low levels having more than one "tank" that deals damage and death for a living is a good thing. However, ranger and monk come in close on its heals.

Perhaps my observation is way off course, but it seems to me that "role playing" isn't what he wants unless all his parameters and expectations are met. In other words, unless such and such occurs or is available as he wants it then he grumbles and pouts. One of my favorite characters ever...

Oh, I definitely make them roll a save because there has to be consequences for actions -- even if it is heroic. And sometimes heroic can = stupid. Besides, there are a lot of dead heros scattering the lands of many campaigns. Just my 2 cents worth...
