Nicely said! Agreed.

if you want Cthulhu, I highly recommend Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu Edition 5.61. But I know no one will listen....

My feelings exactly.

Brasil here. We have a fair-sized community here (hum, on second thought, community is too strong a word. Group is better), but I don't know how many are actually active in Internet forums.

For a 2nd-level spell, get Tasha's Hideous Laughter if you already haven't got it. It's probably the most effective 2nd-level spell ever, since it forces a will save to avoid being useless (and, almost inevitably, dead) for 1d3 rounds. When you get to choose a 3rd-level spell, take Fly. It's...

I'd say it's a Victory I Star Destroyer. Can't see the winglets in the picture, but they should be there. There will also be a Jedi Fighter that will look like a small Victory. Obi-Wan will fly one of those.

It stinks more than a boatload of dead rats. The Preview Edition is just a glorified Limewire. And not even so glorified if you just think a bit harder. The next best thing is Imesh V3.0. Version 2.0 stunk so bad they actually did a good job with V3.0. All that we have to do now is spread the...

Anything campaign-related. I have most 2E campaign settings, except for Spelljammer (sorry not to have it), and Greyhawk (even more sorry not to have it). The campaign material is just excellent for the most part, and the so-so parts can be easily altered to fit my style.. The monstrous...

What really interests me now...ok, what I always get interested in, are Campaign Settings. I just love them. They don't even have to come with any new rules. I just love to see fully developed geographies and histories for worlds I will never see in personal experience, but worlds i can think...

Let me barge in to say that GURPS Conan is VERY good for this. It's probably the best fantasy sourcebook for GURPS, and one of the best for any system.

I really can't decide between Dragonslayer or Dragonheart (Vermithrax or Draco, rather). I voted for Draco, mainly because of Connery's facial expressions on the Dragon. Gave it a much more INTELLIGENT look. But I am still awed by Vermithrax everytime I watch Dragonslayer.

There was a Mystic class at the D&D Rules Cyclopedia. What I meant by roots is the foundations upon which the game was built. That is to mean J.R.R. Tolkien and, through him, the various western european traditions. Monks were not allowed in the basic set. Then they were introduced (in the...

Oriental Adventures is out there for those who want to play oriental-style characters. So the option does exist. I think general D&D should stay with its roots.

You are right about this. D&D (and AD&D before it) do see more tampering than other RPGs. This is due, I believe, to the fact that D&D rules are more flexible in terms of how they can be bent or changed. Shadowrun, as an example, is hard to tamper with. Those piles of dice tend to clutter the...

This is only true during and after the inquisition. Before that, powers of an unusual sort were considered all too common and useful to be jumbled together in the sack of "devil pact" and then stoned. Seers were revered in most communities of the early middle-ages as wise men who could help...

Well, if I am posting here, it is for the sake of giving my opinion on the matter, not to agree or disagree with anyone else specifically. Anyway, your view IS the most common and appreciated, as demonstarted by the more than 75% of people who have voted "yes" in this poll. So I am certainly in...

Uh, you are confusing "freedom of interpretation" with "freedom of choice for character class". I do allow the first, but not the last. If a player wants to play an angst-ridden druid, whose only desire is to slay those who defile the forests, fine. If he wants to play a monk (cleric) who...

That's it. It's exactly what I meant. :)

Let's do it again. Clerics are not ABOUT gaining personal power. It is NOT their main vision and desire in life. They DO gain it, but it is rather incidental than devised. When they got out adventuring, they are not seeking the "ability to cast higher-level miracles (divine spells if you...

Let's go part by part here, as jack the Ripper would like to say. Spontaneous healing was one of the things that got you sanctified. Indeed, it was probably the only supernatural ability that was considered beneficial. Yeah, Christ did not live in the middle-ages, but he sure was the Paragon...
