Same here. For some reason I always pronouced it as Wee-bleks :o

I remember the Yeth Hound from Planescape in 2e, in the Planescape MC Appendix, although it may have been around before that. 3e originals I know of for certain are the Yrthak and Tojanida. The Gray Render may be new to 3e.

GenCon 2007.

Yep, Will Hindmarch, the line develepor for Vampire: The Requiem has given confirmation of this over at RPGnet. Hopefully Monte will be along at some point to taunt and tease everyone. I recall his evasive teasing in the run up to BoVD, so I can imagine how it'll get with something of this...

Hit points? No. Spell levels? Yep, I've run my games with spell levels (and magical enhancement bonuses) as a quantifiable quality in game for years. It just makes sense that the characters would be aware of the varying degrees of spell/item power, especially when they can only access certain...

It's always baffled me that some folks can see vampires as anything other than vicious, inhuman monsters. What part of undead blood sucking predator is actually sexy? Give me Christopher Lee's portrayal of Dracula any day...more like an animalistic 'thing' that happens to look like a person...

I voted for the Realms, because that's the setting that has always been D&D to me. I came into the hobby in 92, and after a formative year in Mystara, I discovered FR. Fell in love with it straight off the bat, and it's been my favourite ever since. Also, I think it helps to have a default...

That's one heck of a gap though isn't it? Heck, half my group use the term 'White Wolfer' as an insult :eek: Still, who knows what we'll see. All we need now is Rifts D20 :p

I've just had a swift roam around the net to see if I can scrounge up any info, even started a thread on RPGnet to see if anyone has anything...no real confirmation yet outside of the WW lj. However, I have had time to ponder, and I'm thinking this could be a very good thing for the industry...

Ok, this is officially surprising. It's also something that I'm pretty conflicted about...do I react with my usual contempt for White Wolf and the WoD? Or with my usual fanboy love of Monte's work? Gaahhh...can't focus...mind splintering...

Reminds me of City of the Living Dead, where the old priest commits suicide...thereby opening the gates of Hell and unleashing zombies. Ooohh...there's a thought. Those buggers could teleport all over the place, now that would make things nasty in D&D eh?

You know, I really do wish that Wizards would do non-random minis. I dropped a couple of hundred pounds on the random ones when we finally (last year) decided to start using them in the game, and ended up with a complete mish-mash of stuff. Now I'm selling them off on e-bay so I can pick up the...

I've found that a really good adventure can also be used more than once, whether as a whole or simply by mining encounters, villains and magic out of them or even as simple inspiration. Over the years I've run Night of the Walking Dead, House of Strahd, Fighter's Challenge (all 2e) and Crucible...

Well said on the rulebooks front. I've not bought anything since Magic of Incarnum, and have no intention of paying out for any of the Complete x splatbooks after seeing Complete Divine (which one of my players bought). More adventures is always good though.

Here. I was a little surprised to see a dearth of talk about these upcoming adventures, but I've been away from the boards for a looooonng time :) Anyway, I'm pretty psyched to see these coming up, especially Expedition the Demonweb Pits and the new Forgotten Realms trilogy. Apparently the...

Versus rocks! I like the idea of a world where there are 666 portals to the 'Other Side', and any of them can be the source of zombie nastiness. BTW, the same guy made a film called Wolf Zero if I recall...Japanese rock group V. zombies. Well worth checking out.

Best thing to do here is simply let her know that you're not having as much fun as you'd hoped. Try and come up with three things you DO like about her game, and three that you DON'T. Explain this to her, and be sure to explain that you don't want to stop gaming with her or the others, just...

I'm a big fan of Kult, own both 1st and 2nd edition (I never saw a need to fork out for 3rd). I got into it during my White Wolf WoD phase in college, when I decided that the overly "gothy" angst ridden World of Darkness just wasn't what I wanted out of a horror game. Kult however, gave me...

My personal choice? Don't make the overland chase the focus of the adventure. I'm much more of an 'Indiana Jones' DM when it comes to that kind of thing...call for a tracking roll or two (and then only if you want there to be a chance of the PCs not catching up) then cut to the...

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this one. I can see where you're coming from, but it only works with the assumption that everyone enjoys both running and playing the game. Personally, I'm happy to be the one running D&D 100% of the time. I'm not sure why, I just tend to have much less...
