    [OT] What is the most "wasted" money spent on a gaming item.

    All my Dwarven Forge sets. I love 'em, my players have no patience for 'em.

    Is this a Liche? (Self-Mummification of the Shingon Buddhist Mummies)

    They're definitely Ravenloft Ancient Dead. :)

    Niche Products, Take 2

    For Ravenloft, we have Ask Azalin, a forum dedicated to answering gamers' questions about various rules and issues in our books, including errata issues. It's our equivalent of Sage Advice, and some of the issues readers have raised there have influenced later books.

    GW's Talisman: anyone played

    I spent many an evening playing Talisman (along with all its sundry expansions) with my college buddies back in '90 or so. White Wolf was truly the boardgame god back then. I even collected the miniatures for all the characters; come to think of it, I still have to paint about half a dozen of...

    Does WotC still own Ravenloft?

    Not necessarily true. As I recall, since WotC has licensed Ravenloft to S&SS, they consider the acceptability of converting old RL material to be S&SS's decision.

    "Contagious" Zombies?

    The cannibal zombie hasn't received a Monster Manual-style entry in 3E yet, but it is covered in Van Richten's Guide to the Walking Dead.

    Where did the MM Gorgon come from?

    Clip-and-pasting my answer from when it came up on Usenet: It was an Elizabethan fellow named Topsell, who in 1607 translated (adding his own commentary, of course) a Bestiary written by the 16th century Swiss naturalist Gesner. (The roots of Gesner's bestiary in turn go back to the 12th...

    Will d20 kill Dragonlance ?

    Re: Re: Re: Will d20 kill Dragonlance ? AD&D support for Dragonlance had ended years before SAGA and 5th Age rolled around.

    Alchemy...A list please...

    Van Richten's Arsenal also has a chapter on alchemy, including a list of fairly normal stuff and a system for "high alchemy," the mad-scientist, distilling people's souls and growing people in vats type stuff.

    [Miracles] anyone else annoyed?

    I thought Miracles was one of the best new series of the year. Naturally, it's now been cancelled.

    [TV] Boomtown

    I thought its first few episodes were utterly brilliant, but that since then the primary "hook" of the show -- the non-linear puzzle-like storytelling -- has increasingly become a non-issue. It's turning into yet another ensemble cop show, and a fairly melodramatic one at that.

    Tremors the Series

    Today I did indeed discover that the "poltergeist" episode was intended to be episode six of the six in the current lineup, and that it dealt with no less than three plotlines that have not yet been introduced. Switching gears, I thought tonight's shrieker episode was the best of the series so far.

    What is the "Best. Ravenloft module. Ever?"

    Some people apparently have connection problems accessing the site, but www.kargatane.com itself hasn't had any outages recently.

    Tremors the Series

    I'd bet my bottom dollar that the second episode aired wasn't the second episode produced; everything about that episode was SCREAMING that Christopher Lloyd's character and "mixmaster" had already been introduced. My guess: in whatever episode was being shown in the promo clips of Lloyd...

    ENNies 2003 Jugdge Application Discussion/Questions

    I'd like to see just one change in the ENNies this year: A full list of all products submitted to each category posted... well, anywhere. In other words, I'd like to be able to see which companies/products were actually in the running, and which ones sat out.
