Dungeon #294 There are two great articles in Dragon #294 discussing this very topic. They are called Words to Live by: Using Catchphrases to Distinguish Your PC and Adding Insult to Injury: Wisecracks Are No Joking Matter by Robin D. Laws. The former has dozens of lists of catchphrases by class...

That is my exact sentiment. I certainly will not run an exclusive Eberron campaign - nor will I run a part-Eberron game. I will, however, browse the material and poach what I like and disregard the rest. I like to have various setting books on my shelves for that very reason - to get a slice of...

Just a Dick This is slightly off-topic, but I think it fits in here. Our group has a player (I didn't bring him, another guy introduced him to our LG group) that is an uncooperative jerk in real life. And, he plays his characters exactly the way he is - a dick. He does not really role play at...

My Three Cauldron from Dungeon magazine (issues 97, 98, 102, 104, 107, 109 & 111): It is a v.3.5 city for the contemporary D&D player and DM. It is very well developed, IMO. It has maps, a social structure, dungeons and compelling good guys and bad guys. Many of the city's key places and...

It Was Fun The AD&D and AD&D 2nd Ed. days were fun for me. But, I don't miss them. I have enjoyed the evolution and changes made to the D&D game over the years and I have found fun in each edition of D&D. I do play v.3.5 currently, especially as an RPGA member (Living Greyhawk GM and player). I...

Good Job, Keith I am excited about and support the pending cahnges at Dungeon and Dragon magazines this summer. I think the staff at Paizo have done a great job at keeping the magazines afloat and I appreciate their effort in doing so. I have liked all of the recent changes, tweaks and...

It Depends It depends on quality and publisher, when I buy .pdf files. For example, I think that the terrible scans of old TSR items available at SVGames is priced right. Those scans are not worth more than the $4.95 Sean selss them for. But, that's not his fault and those are hard copy items...

Where's Mine? Man, I hope my Dungeon Magazine shows up soon. I'm getting discouraged seeing everyone elses show ing up. :(

What He Said I have a campaign world that I am very happy with, and there is no compelling reason for me to switch. I am familiar with my campaign setting, and I don't have any inclination to learn a new one - it's bad enough keeping up with rule/edition changes. :heh:

Cool Thread Hey, all. Cool thread. It's good to see a variety of products (Tome of Horrors, Monsters of Faerun, etc.). I use the v.3.5 Monster Manual almost exclusively, in most gaming applications. I used each of the following once: v.3.0 Monster Manual II (for the Dread Knight); v.3.0...

Some Crossover Is Nice I like a small degree of crossover from setting to setting. With the d20 system, I think the capacity of crossover is a non-issue. The rules will always mesh - it will be the theme, atmosphere and flavor that will set a setting apart from others. Monte Cook's Arcana...

I switched to v.3.5 immediatley and never looked back. I have followed the same principle since 1st Ed. AD&D days - when 2nd Ed. AD&D came out, I switched that very day, etc., etc. I don't retain any nostalgic feelings for prior editions. Mostly, I like to see the game evolve and try new changes...

I think the poll (at the time of my vote and post, 64% spent more on books) reflects an accurate, while unscientific, assessment of purchasing decisions. I have spent $36 on D&D Miniatures and ten times that amount on just v.3.x books. But, I only use Miniatures for table-top game play. I do not...

I have never ran a homebrew game in 15 years of D&D gaming. I have always used commercially published adventures, throughout all of the years. First, I don't have the creative streak required to imagine a compelling adventure. I can admit that, and will never assume I have that flair for fantasy...

I Don't Use Alignment We don't use alignment rules in our campaign, and we never have - not in 15 years of D&D gaming. Alignment has never been a pressing issue for us, so we have divested our games of its application. But, I do understand why there are aliagnment rules. And, I definitely...

Yes Yes, I am going to get the Expanded Psionics Handbook, for sure. A friend of mine played a Psion using the v.3.0 book, and it was a pretty cool character with unique and interesting abilities. I did not invest in the v.3.0 book back then because I knew the v.3.5 rules were coming and read...

I'm Sticking With Dungeon/Polyhedron I am an avid reader and devoted fan of Dungeon magazine. Sure, as a singular v.3.5 Ed. D&D DM and Player, I don't use material from the Polyhedron side. But, I don't mind it being there, not one bit. I am glad the publishers take the space and time to...

Get Well Soon Get well soon, Mr. Gygax. I'm glad your family is there for you - family is the best, and there is nothing else I'd rather be surrounded with than family during times of crisis or incident. But, we are all still pulling for you, too.
