I'll echo what Wil said, and add that I want flavor over crunch. I'm not a big fan of the obligatory feats and prestige classes. Not that I'm against them, necessarily, but we've already got more than we can use in a lifetime (although I find that substitution levels are pretty cool...). So if...

HP Lovecraft's collected stories. For the first time. CREEPY! That guy was quite a writer.

For a 2-PC game I'm probably going with: Cleric/Warmage (or UA Battle Sorcerer) Fighter/Rogue (or Scout)

By the RAW, can you be an LA+1 character with no class levels, thereby joining a "Starting at 1st level" game? You would take the +0 BAB, etc. and just use the racial abilities until you get 1000 XP and then take a class level. If not... why not?

I know you asked for PDFs, but if you can find any of the old AD&D Core Rules CD's, they have the books in RTF. On my to do list is "Go through all those RTFs and mine them for ideas, etc.", but somehow I never seem to get around to it.

jdrakeh, I agree with you there. I suppose Mac from CSI: NY is more like Grissom, too. (I watch WAY too much CSI) Can a LG character bend the rules? "I fully support the concept of law, and I follow the letter when possible, but I will break the law if the situation warrants it (and by...

While I don't agree he's Judge Dredd, I never said he was a paladin, either. I'm using the situation to try to clarify the "definition" of LG and paladins. I suppose the answer depends on whether you are LAWFUL good or lawful GOOD. I would argue that Caine's behavior is consistent with LG, and...

Monday's episode, relevant synopsis: One of Horatio's employees (Eric Delco) is accused of buying marijuana from a murder suspect. Internal Affairs begins an investigation. Eric has been buying marijuana, for his sister, who has cancer. He is with her when she smokes it, and so he comes up...

I voted Miko just to irritate everyone. She's so irritating that by some twisted logic she's my favorite.

Go to RPGNow and buy Seven Cities. For the life of me I can't remember the publisher (starts with an A, I think). I've been meaning to post a review of it, since there weren't any when I bought it. It has 7 cities of each size (Thorp to Large City, excludes Metropolis). Not exhaustively...

I have a plot question... The TriWizard tournament is for "eternal glory." They play up what a big deal it is. Then at the end of the movie it just whimpers away. Did Harry win? Did they cancel it b/c what's-his-name was killed? Where's the eternal glory? The whole ending of the movie was a...

I was thinking of this as well. Tangential question, though... how much different is the Psion in XPH compared to the original? Since I don't really do psionics, I never bought the new book.

I'm sure there's a thread for this already, but I didn't find it. When is the spell compendium coming out (Tome of Magic is the correct name, right?), and what's in it? I remember hearing that the PHB spells aren't reproduced. So what is? Is this basically a compilation of the Complete books...

I saw that Paizo has PDFs of D&D material on EN World News, and I browsed through the list of D&D modules on their site. Anyone know how good the scans are? And are any of them must-haves? The only one I remember was Castle Amber (X2 I think). We pretty much started with AD&D1 so I'm not...

Fighter Cleric Rogue (or Scout) Wizard (or Sorcerer) 5th Wheel: Marshall/Bard with insane high CHA Weird Party: Fighter, Buffing Wizard, Healer, Warmage x 2

I like the heroes to be competent, and usually super-competent. I actively dislike stories where the main characters stumble through, not knowing what they're doing, not able to "make it happen," or relying on others. Someone mentioned Modesitt... I especially like his heroes. They are super...

I lurk more than post, but I love EN World, and don't see it as overly whiny. The flame wars here are much more polite than what I see elsewhere. I like the "Eric's Grandma" rule and think it makes EN World a very friendly place. Even when we disagree with one another, for the most part I see it...

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason. --Jack Handy I never thought a Deep Thought by Jack Handy would ever approach relevance in a real conversation. Maybe it still hasn't... :)

Crimmor from Dragon a couple of issues back? (was that a port city?) Hardby is in a Dungeon MANY issues back... 112?

The Bible. But then that's 66 books. And I wouldn't call it fantasy, so I suppose it's off topic, as well. If you allow a series, The Drenai Saga by David Gemmell. If only a single book, The High King, by Lloyd Alexander (but then I'd want that whole series, too). I pick this because I read it...
