    ENnies winners?

    M&M truly deserves what it got, I just feel a little sad for Spycraft 2.0. I think its an amazing game and should have gotten something :( oh well, I'll still play it :)

    D&D 4E Ryan Dancey on 4E

    I hope I didn't draw that quote too much out of context but it scares me! as a long time DM, speculations that the next edition will turn d&d into more of a miniatures combat game or CCG or anything that isn't real roleplaying scares the living s@*$ out of me. I guess the near future will tell...

    Worst Value for Money RPG Purchase

    I second Fiend Folio as the must useless monster collection of them all. I also kind of regret buying book of vile darkness, never used it and don't think I ever will lior

    Eric Noah's Info

    I want to take the "ostrich way" in this issue, I really prefer to put my head in the sand and ignore it. I like 3rd edition and the OGL market too much too try and ponder about 4th edition. Just thinking that perhaps in 3-4 years the whole market will be different is giving me the...

    Do you regret the fact that you don't get to game as much as you would like?

    Every few months I send my gaming group a list of the games I "really wanna play". Mostly though not a lot comes out of it, like you I'm newly wed. And between obligations to the wife, work and other hobbies its simply not possible to play Spycraft,Mutants&Masterminds,Arcana Evolved, Iron...

    Wizards stopped adding titles to DriveThruRPG?

    Sad and true, I would really like the opportunity to own the pdf's, especially of titles I own hardcovers of. Which makes me think, a lot of small publishers offer free pdf versions if you buy the print version (and a discount on the print ver. if you buy the pdf). Wizards won't go for that...

    Wizards stopped adding titles to DriveThruRPG?

    I was under the impression that DriveThruRpg and WotC reached an agreement to add nearly all the D&D titles to the store. I even remember that it was published that at least one title will be added every day. I looked now and saw there are only 19 titles there and I haven't seen a new title...

    Non-Core Class Survivor Spin-off: Pro-psionics or anti-psionics

    I love psionics and I can't explain why. During the 2nd edition days I had a player who loved psionics and always wanted to play one. He was horribly overpowered, and was a horrible power-gamer so I actually had nightmares about his character. But somehow the Expanded Psionics Handbook really...

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 15 (The Final 5)

    I do think psionics should be core and voted the Scout this time around. However, its not a strategic vote, I simply don't like him much. Even if the psionic classes don't make it all the way I'm still proud of them to make it to the final 5. Psion and Psy-Warrior, I salute you :cool:

    Non-Core Class Survivor: Round 10 - The Top Ten (predict the final 3)

    I say Psion, Psychic warrior and Warlock will make it to the end... maybe I'm dreaming, but I think there's a love for psionics in the heart of the good folks at ENWorld

    Which book(s) should I buy next?

    I voted Lord of Madness and Monsternomicon. Lords of madness is the best 'monster specific' book in my opinion, I've used it quite a lot in my campaign, much more than the draconomicon (and others of the series). The Monsternomicon is just a darn good monster book, almost each monster is...

    Orcish Resources

    I found Mongoose's Slayer's Guide to Orcs pretty good, here's a link to the review on enworld, and here's a link to DriveThruRPG where you can buy it if you want. Reality Deviant Publications (RDP) through Ronin Arts has a series of NPC Antagonists books, called 'A touch of evil'. Volume 1 is...

    Help me with my Research Paper: Survey #2B

    Perhaps its already been mentioned, but I think the profile of an ENWorlder is very different from the average role player. I think its a more mature community, lots of people from within the industry... If that's what you want great, otherwise you should take it into account.

    Sell me on creating new d20 fantasy PDFs . . .

    I know this is silly :) but I went and purchased a few ronin arts products at rpgnow, I think that's the best way to persuade you to continue. You're doing excellent work which I really admire and although I don't buy as much as I used to (too much stuff already) my satisfaction with your...

    Help me with my research paper: Survey #1

    When you think of the word "gamer," what words/phrases/images come to mind? geek, sci-fi/fantasy fan, junk food, book readers, english (most roleplayers in Israel I met have better english than non roleplayers) Do you believe there is a stereotype (or multiple stereotypes) of gamers? If so...

    And then suddenly...

    I think the 'suddenly' phenomenon is closely related to the 'furnitures come first' syndrome which I also suffer from. My players enter a room my description goes something like "The room is an oblong chamber roughly 80' on 30', in the corner you see an old armoire, 2 chairs with leather...

    And then suddenly...

    How many times during running a session do you find yourself saying "Suddenly!" or something along that vein? To me it happens way too often and I've been trying to consciously reduce the number. I'm trying to plan what I'm going to say a bit more and build tension more gradually. Somehow after...

    Need adventure for tomorrow night - 9th level, city based

    Hello community, I'm short on time (getting married in a few weeks) and I need to run a session for 2 players tomorrow night. Their characters are 9th level and currently in Sharn(Eberron). Can you recommend a good & short city-based module for these levels? preferably something I can buy as a...

    I just saw that you did and almost melted in my office chair from joy :) I didn't realize how much I've missed the reviews section
