    Anyone gotten the new Dragon Mag yet?

    I don't know if the answer to your question is answered in another thread, but I'll give you my take on the current issue. The DM's Screen is decent. I'd rather not have the pictures of the miniatures that are due out in the fall along the bottom, and it's a shame they don't have a table with...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Why be a Fighter? (3.5)

    I'd say Throw Anything would cover that. ;)

    Put a caption to this Pic ![OT,Gencon,Humor]

    Eric: You can't see it, because of the shirt and tie, but I have the chest prosthetic used by Ricardo Montalban, in The Wrath of Khan, under this shirt! Morrus: (From where I'm standing, you could have used a prosthetic for your backside...) ;)

    Why hasn't anyone mentioned this yet? (3.5)

    Re: Re: Re: Why hasn't anyone mentioned this yet? (3.5) Well, to me it's a bit of a grey area based on the wording in the Hydra's info... it says "A hydra's Combat Reflexes feat allows it to use all its heads for attacks of opportunity." Where I think there's ambiguity (and this is the same...

    [OT] Old Bloom County!! (big)

    A couple of my favorite BC strips have to be where Opus is having the nightmares about the McPenguin burgers and the kid behind the counter, in response to Opus asking if they're planning on selling them any time soon, says, "McNope, but McMaybe McLater." The other one is with Binkley and the...

    Miniatures Handbook?

    I couldn't help but notice that the picture in Dragon 310 looks an awful lot like the recent revamp that GW did to their Warhammer Fantasy Army Books... That's not to say that the Miniatures Game is nothing but a copy of WH, I'm just guessing they're trying to get sales purely on a subliminal...

    [3.5/3.0] Collaborative Effort: Collection of Round-by-Round Monster Tactics

    I also think this could be helpful and fun! :) And to try to avoid making this just a "me too!!!" type of reply, let me put forward another facet of this that could be explored and written up: tactics for "weak" monsters to use against "tough" parties, i.e. some round-by-round tactics to make a...

    The New Character Sheet

    I've been partial to Ema's character sheet (after I discovered it existed, that is ;)) and I'm hoping she'll put out one that's just as good for the 3.5 update :) Her page is: http://www.emass-web.com/

    (DRAGON) 3.5 DM screen = very nice

    One of the LGS (not necessarily my FLGS ;)) said they expected to receive them this Friday. Don't know if that'll be true for every store, but it might at least give some idea to people :)

    {OT} What's up with the depressing OT topics lately?

    The other thing to look at, as well, is that people tend to be a little more open with their thoughts and feelings when they have the anonymous medium of message boards at their disposal. Yes, there are good and bad versions of this. The aforementioned "downer" topics are the good results of...

    [OT] My mother passed away this morning

    My condolences to you. As with all the others who have voiced it, and the numerous others who haven't, my thoughts are with you.

    Heroquest on Ebay/Where can I get Hard Plastic Minis?

    My apologies if this is completely contrary to what you're looking for, but Games Workshop has multipart plastics for just about every one of their armies. Yeah, a box of them runs 30 USD, but you're usually getting between 16 and 20 miniatures. The nice thing is that you can customize the...

    righty tightey, lefty loosey

    If you find the perfect place to make camp for the night, keep going for another hour. (I remember a module in the days of 1E where it literally said 'you find the perfect place to camp'. And during the night you get ambushed ;))

    [Poll] Who DOESN'T use minis?

    In our group it varies based on the mood of the DM. We've all been playing for a very long time, and we've all also had a lot of experience doing more free-form stuff, so we can just visualize it in our heads and then the DM corrects if someone doesn't something that he feels can't be done. In...

    Epic Level Feats: I meet the pre-reqs, why can't I take it?

    IIRC, it states that stat prereqs are the base stat, not the stat modified by items... so you're a bit short on the Dex since the bonus from the gloves doesn't count ;)

    What does Nerf(ed) mean?

    I remember the term "nerfed" being used in the same way back about 13 years ago when I was heavily into MUDs. I've seen it went its way back into things over the last few years, though ;)

    Pbp?

    And just to prove Mark right, I'll post the one that I frequent the most: http://www.storycrafter.com Covers a nice wide range of games using strict rules systems (D20-based ones included) to completely free-form.

    So, did you win?

    I've found that sports analogies work quite well as an answer ;) "It's kind of like football [or insert your favorite sport], you might win or lose from week to week, or even come out on top for the season... but there's always another season." As for other strange questions I've been asked by...
