    Girl DMs!

    I've never even played in a group that had a girl in it. Do you feel that girls have a different play style than guys? My group is pretty into hack and slash with the occasionally unexpected bit of role playing. I would guess that girls would be a bit more into the role playing aspect (which...

    Do you color in your books?

    I don't really color any of the pictures in my books but the adventures I run get quite marked up. I take tons of notes in the margins to help me keep track of what's happened, what I need to remember etc. It's extremely helpful. Generally I try not to mark up any of the other books with the...

    Favorite Wizard/Sorcerer/Arcane Magic Sourcebook?

    I can't believe nobody has mentioned Pocket Grimoire Arcana by Green Ronin! Why have only one book's worth of stuff when you can have the open gaming content from not only multiple works but multiple publishers! I find it quite helpful to have all my spells in one place! Also there is a...

    What crazy ideas have you tried that worked?

    hehe. Wow! That's way more out there than my idea! But I bet it was fun! I'm hoping in mine to do some travelling (through time) to do some cyberpunk type stuff as well as some 20s pulp action.

    What crazy ideas have you tried that worked?

    I am currently cooking up an idea to utilize some of the source books I've bought lately. I'm thinking of a kind of spycraft type game that revolves around time travel. Coming up with ideas for it got me curious and I was wondering what crazy/interesting/difficult/different ideas people had...

    To anyone who bought the EPIC LEVEL HANDBOOK

    I'm in the same boat. None of my players are anywhere near needing anything in this book. They are only 7th level. Me on the other hand, I'm a book junkie and I need to have it so I can read and enjoy and imagine! Any support groups for d20 book addiction? :D

    Anyone seen the book of challenges...

    Well I went to the store again today. So it seems that they did get some in but they sold out! No luck for me I guess! Has anyone bought a copy? What do you think of it? How does it compare to traps and treachery? Is it worth having both?

    How does Banewarrens compare?

    I'm curious if anyone has bought banewarrens yet? How does it compare with Monte's other adventures? Without any spoilers is it worth the 10$? I'm one of those folks that typically likes to get printed adventures mostly because when I'm running them I mark them up with my own notes (my god is...

    2nd vs 3E rules. Most difficult transition?

    One thing I'll say that I definitely DON'T miss is THAC0. What a pain that was! But I'll have to agree with everyone that AoO was a sticky point. Now it's not so bad though because it's generally understood and there are a lot of good explanations in various books/ web sites etc. Plus...

    Monster Manual 2

    Can't wait! I have to say, I can't wait for this book! I always love bringing out the beasties! Even if I only use a few of them, I love reading through them and dreaming of all the possibilities. Some of the monsters are just dang cool! My prediction is that the grell will make an...

    Thoughts on Shadowforce Archer?

    I went to the local gaming store yesterday and found it. There web site says it was released in April but it must have been late April if not just recently... If you dug the Spycraft book then you'll definitely dig this one!

    Thoughts on Shadowforce Archer?

    Online stuff could be interesting too... I'm also interested to see what they do with the online aspect of the product as well. It seems like it's geared towards having players contribute material from their home campaigns to the ongoing plot. I think this is a cool idea (if it ends up...

    Thoughts on Shadowforce Archer?

    I just picked up the new Spycraft campaign setting Shadowforce Archer and I'm very impressed with it so far. I've only gone through it very briefly but already I'm filled with nostalgia for the top secret games my older brother used to run. It seems to have a lot of "cool" factor to it. I was...

    [OT] RIP Layne Staley

    This sucks! Layne was one of my favorite singers and Alice in Chains is one of my favorite bands. You rock Layne! Rest in peace. Today is a sad day.

    Incorrect Physics in Call of Cthulhu!

    Any use of an equation in a rule is going to be far more unpopular than an technically incorrect rule using addition. Addition is easy. Equations take more time and impede forward progress in the game by that much more. The whole idea of rpg's is to abstract the "reality" of the gameworld...

    Review the Reviews

    Re: Re: And fleas have fleas, have fleas... All recursion needs a base case! A little nerdy humor (or is it! It's true if you want practical and useful recursion) for you. But more seriously maybe a system similar to what amazon implement would be helpful. A simple did you find this review...

    Got my Crystal Caste Combat Mat today!

    My group and I got a Chessex mat and it has served us VERY well. It isn't dual sided but we never use hex and I was told by the store clerk that the chessex mats erased more easily than the Crystal Caste mats. Can anyone confirm or deny? In either case we used to use a large dry-erase...

    Open Ended Choices for Players

    In my last campaign I used a larger campaign sized goal which the pc's worked to accomplish in addition to the many adventures that they would take on. As time went on more of the mystery would unfold, but also new questions would arrise. This usually kept the pc's headed in the right...
