    What DnD book should I get next?

    Underdark is definitely a good buy, one of the more enjoyable reads I have had for a long time and some neat critters and good advice on subterranean adventures. I've used quite a few times. The expanded Psionics Handbook is what I consider a "must" IF you have a psionics heavy campaign (as I...

    Vampire The Masquerade D20?

    D20 has shown that it is easily flexible enough to accommodate very different kinds of play. You need look no further than the VP/WP system of D20 Star Wars or the hit point system of CoC d20 to find an example of instantly lethal hit point systems (to me CoC d20 was the ultimate test of the...

    Best NonWOTC Campaign setting?

    Well if you want a setting a bit different (space-fantasy) I'd recommend Dragonstar. Only backside is that the setting has not had the support it merits from FFG. Dawnforge I haven't picked up but it seems very exciting. And you may reconsider your non-WotC stance and go for Dragon 319 and...

    Expanded Psionics: Buying?

    Definitely, I love 3E psionics, and this book has me really excited and will see much use in my campaign (fits even better in Dragonstar than in standard D&D to my mind). -Zarrock

    Starship Combat - best rules you have seen

    The rules for starship combat in the Starfarer's Handbook by FFG are quite precise and while the tend to bug down the game a bit they are not over-the-top complex. If you are interested in really quick-and-dirty rules they are definitely not for you but if you want fairly precise depictions of...

    Tell Me About Dragonstar

    The Starfarer's Handbook and Guide to the Galaxy are both great books (especially the former which to my mind is one of the very best d20 books made so far). I don't have any experience with the other products and cannot advise you one them. My greatest enjoyment with the universe has come from...

    non-PHB core classes which ones are good? which ones are bad?

    Personally I find the Mystic core class from Dragonlance to be widely applicable - it works well in any setting and provides the game with an innate divine caster useful in many campaigns. -Zarrock

    I thought Midnight was great...

    I read the previews for Dawnforge on the FFG and I have to say it looks intriguing: wonderful artwork and what seems to be a very well-executed concept. I'll seriously consider buying this. -Zarrock

    Point me to ... Dragonlance 'mystic' class online?

    I think there may have been a general description of the Mystic as a preview on either Wizard's or Sovereign Stones' website, you may want to go there and do a search... -Zarrock

    You've all converted me...

    I really think it should be a sin to mention FFG settings without mentioning Dragonstar - so say after me: D-R-A-G-O-N-S-T-A-R. DRAGONSTAR! :D Indoctrination over, now go buy the Starfarer's Handbook if you don't already own it... -Zarrock

    Top Twenty Print Products

    I only own Legions of Hell, Manual of the Planes, Starfarer's Handbook and Call of Cthulhu D20 but these are all top-notch products. Personally it pleases me to see the Starfarer's Handbook on this list, it's a very special product to me. A list such as this doesn't really tell that much...

    What campaign setting do you use?

    Dragonstar and FR In 3E I've only played FR and Dragonstar. The first years after the new edition were spend with FR, after which I started my Dragonstar campaign when the old FR finished. It's the best and most vibrant setting I've ever DMed and all my players agree. Long live Dragonstar, now...

    Anything wrong with just playing D&D?

    I completely agree and I played regularly in the original CoC system for many years - CoC d20 is a pearl. I've also tried my luck with Vampire, Cyberpunk, VP, WEG Star Wars (which was quite fun), and - sigh - Rifts (nice world - horrible rules), but nothing ever compared to D&D for me. The new...

    WotC and D&D

    I'm quite happy with what they are doing. They've put out some absolute winners and only very few complete blunders. The 3,5 books are great, FRCS, Lords of Darkness, Magic of Faerûn, Races of Faerûn, Oriental Adventures and Manual of the Planes are all cream of the crop. I'm disappointed that...

    How many simultaneous games are you involved in?

    I'm just running a Dragonstar campaign for some friends and before that I ran RttToEE for the same group. I rarely find time for more than one game which is a bit sad as I'd like the opportunity to be a player once in a while but what... I've also been dying to try out my CoC d20 book but...

    "Dark" elves, a pseudo-biological explanation.

    Illytheri is almost the correct spelling I think. Interesting that Lolth was called Megwandir in the FR her name while she was still Seldarine was Araushnee and she was the consort of Corellon. Since she was cursed and transformed into a demon its safe to assume that her worshippers were too...

    The Roleplaying Artform, prelude

    I am interested in seeing how this turns out. I may not necessarily have much time to contribute - but feel free to start the thought stream. I loved the many articles in the older Dragon Mags. that dealt with different storytelling techniques. -Zarrock
