    I Miss Reviews

    Ditto. I've bought nearly a hundred 3e products since the announcement of 4e.

    I Miss Reviews

    Better than nothing! I really miss reviews. As I purchase most of my rpgs sight unseen by ordering online (I have no FLGS) I depend on reviews and excerpts to make most of my buying decisions. Lately, that's not been so easy. I've been depending mostly on the recent "best of" 3e polls, but...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo shipping and customer service

    While I've only placed three or four direct orders with Paizo, I have found them to be slower than any other online rpg store in terms of shipping. Also, the packaging is often less than desirable. Although nothing has been badly damaged in my shipments, I can only assume it's because of pure...

    Today My Bookcase Collapsed Under the Weight of My RPGs

    This thread has my number. I, too, use the cheap Wal-Mart bookshelves, and they're all terribly overloaded. I did learn the shelf-flipping trick long ago, but I still fear a collapse at any time. I realize I should invest in a more expensive (sturdy) bookshelf, but I keep putting it off. Now...

    Bob Bledsaw, man behind Judges Guild and the wilderlands

    I never know quite what to say in moments such as these. The Wilderlands is more than a historical landmark in the history of gaming. It sits like Janus, looking both forward and back. It can be viewed as an homage to the early days of science-fiction and fantasy or as a model for the upcoming...

    Greyhawk: Druids of the Old Faith

    Yes, indeed. Missed it completely. Many thanks!

    An ancient civilization making a comeback... which race?

    As far as I know there isn't that much information on the Killoren outside of Races of the Wild. Personally, I think the book would have been greatly improved by giving more room to the Killoren and less to the Raptorans. The Killoren are living embodiments of nature. While their current aspect...

    An ancient civilization making a comeback... which race?

    Killoren (Races of the Wild, pp. 102-106)

    Which game is the most fun?

    While I haven't played any of these (and voted accordingly), I would choose Savage Worlds. It's the most appealing to me based on rules, settings and style.

    Name for a wizard's school

    Dragon #338 features several arcane academies with interesting backstories and names. Seems to me that one of them was set in a swamp, as well.

    Who's the god of dogs?

    I have that book. It describes Erion (Dog God, The Crowned Canine) as "a very tall, slender man covered with short, stiff hair." Erion is Neutral and his symbol is a Bone Crown. He's a loner whose howl curses his foes.

    D&D Logo: Opinions?

    I haven't seen it, either. Throw us ill-informed rabble a link, will ya? EDIT: Thank you. ;)

    Best Character For A New Player?

    Another vote for Vanilla, the Human Fighter. Grab your feats, spend you pathetic excuse for skill points, buy some gear and you're ready to go. Whatever you do, don't try and entice a new player who happens to be an art student by telling them about the Bard. It's definitely in the running for...

    YouTubing "Ulek"

    Delightful! Don't let this be your last. Though, I do agree a technological upgrade is in order.

    Adventure Recommendation (levels 11+)

    These are all good choices: DCC #4: Bloody Jack's Gold (10-12) DCC #12.5: Iron Crypt of the Heretics (11-13) Dragon #112 "Maure Castle" (12+) Or you might want to try DCC #21: Assault on Stormbringer Castle (12-14) and DCC #22: The Stormbringer Juggernaut (14-16) as they are directly linked.

    Castle Whiterock

    I placed an ordered for DCC #51.5 from Amazon on January 9, 2008. They sent out the other books I'd ordered on January 12, but I'm still waiting for them to ship the (other) Whiterock adventure. Shipping estimate: January 28-February 11.

    Castle Whiterock

    After getting such a deal on Castle Whiterock (to be fair it was priced at $60, but I had $35 in store credit I'd been trying to get rid of for months...so it only cost me $25 cash) and then being so impressed with the presentation of the product I almost felt I owed it to Goodman Games to show...

    Castle Whiterock

    Great thread so far. I recently picked up Castle Whiterock (new in shrinkwrap, even!) for $25.00...from a used book store. While I've only given the contents a cursory glance so far I've been very impressed with the entire package. Impressed enough to pick up several other DCCs (including #4...

    Vile Darkness as an official resource

    This is the first I've heard of the debate regarding The Book of Vile Darkness, but I agree with the answer given 100%. It's pretty much how I've dealt with good/neutral casters casting evil spells in the past. I do keep track of the evil spells cast, however, noting the level of the spell and...

    NPR Spot

    In my opinion, it's the only reason to own a radio. (At least here in the United States.) National Public Radio EDIT: A note to the creator of this thread. There is a feature on the NPR website that allows you to find information about a story you heard on the radio. You just fill out this...
