    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Magnificent race by Tyler Hamilton on Alpe d'Huez, the man is truly inspirational. If only he could get up on the bike which would enable him to TRULY attack. Hope he heals fast enough to secure himself a place on the podium - he deserves it... -Zarrock

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Re: Re: Re: US Postal win team time trial! You would have been right if Hamilton hadn't suffered his injury. Even with it, he rides like a giant on wheels, now we'll just have to see if his body has can cope with the strains of the mountains. -Zarrock

    Do you allow feats/PrCs from Dragon or non WotC products

    I allow most things - especially from Dragon (I have great trust in Monte Cook's Class Act PrCs for instance) - my only demand is that players show me the class or feat in question and let me review/change it as necessary. If I deem it unfit that's the end of it. Everyone is happy with this...

    Say NO to 3.5

    Well, for anyone wanting an estimate of the "willingness" to purchase the new edition, I have som rough figures from Aarhus, Denmark. The city has a population of 275.000 (of which 50.000 study at universities or similar). The 3.0 PHB sold between 200-300 copies The FLGS owner has set up the...

    [3.5] In-game explanations for the revision

    Well, I'm rounding off my RttToEE campaign and starting fresh with a Dragonstar campaign so explaining the changes is no problem for me and I've already told my players that we will henceforth use the 3,5 rules (even though I'll probably use the BoHM sorcerer and a combination of the BoHM and...

    So what price are you paying for your 3.5E books?

    My FLGS sells the package of all three for 800 Danish kroner (the usual price here would be 900 Danish kroner). Divide that by 6 or 7 (I'm not aware of the current rate) and you've got the price in USD. -Zarrock

    Kitchen sink review of 3.5 PHB

    Great review and it told me exactly what I wanted to hear :-) -Zarrock

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Looks like he's out - catastrophic for CSC: one year's planning thrown out the window. Tragic for Hamilton - he looked focused and ready to ride a good race. Uh, and about the French riders since Hinault. I think Jalabert (one of the most winning riders of all times) and Virenque (who ruled...

    Dragonstar

    It's a great setting and there is a very good mailinglist at Yahoo dedicated to discussing Dragonstar. I'm starting my campaign up soon after having finished my RttToEE campaign. I'll be using the TV Structure article from Dragon 293 as a basis for the campaign and it looks very, very promising...

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Yeah, I think so. I'm not a heavy fan of Riis's team myself but I hope they'll do well (not the same without JaJa though). Interest in bicycling has been fading a bit here after the retirement of the Golden Generation of the Nineties with Bjarne Riis, Rolf Sørensen, Bo Hamburger and Jesper...

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Yeah, I find myself watching it (not with the same gusto as soccer but still), even though I usually only watch the time trials and the mountain etapes where the big boys start doing their thing. It's quite popular in Denmark, though.... -Zarrock

    Are you a killer DM?

    I've been running RttToEE for the last 6 months and whacked up 9 kills in that period (and more "times dying" than anyone cares to remember). And they still have the three main obstacles before them... -Zarrock

    What setting would you recommend?

    This is the official site: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/midnight.html and this a great fansite dedicated to the setting: http://www.againsttheshadow.org/index.php AFAIK (having only read the reviews and checked the previews), there are quite a few rules twitches but nothing should...

    whats the best class for RttToEE

    Yeah - it does go some way. In many campaigns though - especially with strongly good-aligned groups it can only take you that far (and eventually confrontation with the Temples is almost inevitable - especially given their strongly chaotic and insane natures). ***spoilers**** My...

    whats the best class for RttToEE

    You'll desperately need the following in the module: One or two all and out damage/hp machines (fighters, barbarians, maxed-out archers). Optimally you'll have a melee fighter and an archer (Order of the Bow Initiates are stunning in this adventure with their ability to fire their bow while in...

    RttToEE too easy

    I concur with the majority of the posters here - RttToEE is hard enough as soon as you reach the CRM. We've had 6 PC deaths so far. Lately I did shift to the Boosted Encounters (you can find a link to those on Monte Cook's boards) since I put in to many random encounters early on and the...

    Andy Collins talks about the Revised Druid

    Re: Re: Andy Collins talks about the Revised Druid Would you care to elaborate? Even with more offensive spells the druid and the cleric are hardly carboncopies of each other. I have a feeling a lot of the new spells will be geared toward boosting the druid for his animal form attacks (like...

    DM wants to abandon RttToEE...(spoilers) - long

    Well it boosting RttToEE with MORE encounters can really kill the adventure fast. I've been running a tight schedule RttToEE campaign since february (we have to finish it by late June). The adventure was pretty balanced between mystery, intrigue and fighting until the CRM (though there's been...

    E-Tools and MS SQL Server

    Re: Re: E-Tools and MS SQL Server Alright thanks :). I'll look into that (I may now opt to reinstall Access - even though I loathe its clumsiness). -Zarrock
