I wished I'd snagged the BattleBox from FDP. That was just a dumb mistake on my part. I walked right by on my way out. Other than that, I think the other booths tagged my wallet pretty good. :p

Gah, I was running an AU game during the seminar, and since returning to hear about (& see the S&S catalog) the new Arcana Evolved release I'm about to have a disabling twitch attack. Even though I realize Monte and Mike kept said cat safely in the bag, I was bummed somewhat to have missed it...

just under the deadline ENWorld: SJ Real World: Shana I'm gonna have like 8 badges this year. I either need to stop going to GenCons or cut down on my Internet time. (Like either one of those things is going to happen).

a dragon's tactics Yep, thanks. Lingering terminology from the 3.0 dies hard. However, here's the excerpt from the 3.5 SRD on charge w/ only movement X 1: To me this precludes the use of that as a readied action. IMO. And I had the order sub-optimal. Snatch. BW. Auto-chomp. Fling. DM...

power snatch? This is a great thread, as my party will be facing a juvenile red saturday. When the Snatch occurs, could the dragon then do a full Power Attack for the automatic damage? That would add ALOT of pain before he tossed the carcass to the ground. I figure it does, thought I'd check...

bring on the changes These mags have both changed *ALOT* since my subscriptions started way back in the day. They are infinitely better. There have been a few issues of each title I thought weren't so great, but I've never regretted subbing to both of them, even during the lean years when I...

I started a campaign right after GenCon 2003. We played through Plague of Dreams by FDP, and are now neck-deep in Siege of Ebonring Keep by MEG. I have inserted 3-5 sessions of my own adventure ideas, mostly to bridge plot lines or explore tangents that the PC's went off on. We play 1-2 times a...

RE, thanks for the Crystal Ball update! I am a statblock stickler. I'm picky about it and have/love to reformat and reorganize the statblocks from whatever program I use. I look forward to seeing what CB has to offer. Since all my games are 3.5 now, I will have to wait for the update. Let us...

Who doesn't like secret handshakes? Nothing's better than an obvious demonstration to others nearby that they are not 'in the know' or 'elite'. :D As to Crystal Ball, looks like it also is waiting for 3.5 updates, I read on the boards where the author considered it a total rewrite. Looks...

Hey Mirth, here's my first post with my new ibook. So do we all get membership cards, secret handshakes, or what? :D anyone want to give their opinion on Crystal Ball? I currently use PCGen, but really like getting the monster statblocks to printout, especially throwing a class level or 2...

I'm using the Alchemist's Eyrie now, and Hasken's Manor, as well as Test of the Demonweb (nice side-trek). Monte's are good when you need a curveball to toss out there. They are short and some of the 3.0 ones need updating, but read them over and see.

Maybe it was this one? http://www.stanford.edu/~marke/npc.html

Thanks CCamfield. I knew it was in there somewhere. Now I'm off to go buy a new 3.5 phb, since I left mine at the con last weekend. :(

I fail to see how a victim hit by an unseen attacker could use a dex bonus. It would be the same as an invisible attacker, right? The interesting question to me in this thread is the next step: After the hidden rogue snipes the victim from his hiding place, how do you determine the next...

Ah, minions! :D I was using the longbow, throwing axe, rapier, longsword, or hand axe, in various combinations. For example, my 1st level fighter was always '2' to attack, even with a 10 strength regardless of weapon equipped. My compliments on this app; a specific-purpose app is incredibly...

Very usable, I like that part. But... Every character I made at 1st level has an extra +1 to their weapon attack bonus. Also, equipping ranged weapons just uses the same attack bonus as the melee ones, even though the Dex may be much higher than Str, or vice versa. Does everyone else's...

This is a fun thread. This list is in no order, and it doesn't mean I buy whatever these people write, sight unseen, but it does mean these 5 are my favorite designers. Their names evoke a favorable response from me, I connect their stuff with memorable gaming experiences. And it's also plain...

Tablesmith, the revised NPC Generator from Jamis Buck now Andargor, and PCGen are what I use most often (read: for basically every game). I like etools, but I'm waiting for the 3.5 datasets for my current games. I also like Campaign Suite, it's undergoing an xml conversion right now on its way...

Well, fear Brutorz Bill's creepy mind, say I. Jan 10. is an iffy call for me, but I'd like to finally get a chance to be Mutant(ed) and Mastermind(ed) at bolen's table if at all possible. How far are you from Memphis proper, alsih20? I forgot.

WOTC may be much more clever than I give them credit for, but my take on the e-Tools thing was more along the lines of 'let's find somebody capable to fix/support this tool, cause we can't do it and neither can Fluid." But LP may be right, and they actually hatched a canny plan to torpedo PCGen...
