I love the idea of Alternate PHBs. I think AU/AE is great, and would love to see other alt PHBs from other designers (Steve Kenson, Robert Schwalb, Robin Laws, et al.) I also tend to think of books like the XPH or Magic of Incarnum as WotC's alt PHBs. They provide new races, classes and...

Thanks for the response. After posting I stumbled across the Acaeum's Judge's Guild page. Man, were those guys ever prolific!

Did Judges guild produce any materials for OD&D or "classic" (basic/expert) D&D, or only for 1e AD&D? If they did make modules for OD&D, what were they? Just curious.

Actually, if you check out the official Dune website (dunenovels.com iirc), the Herbert estate does not itself own the rights to Dune as far as RPGs go. The production company that made the miniseries holds those rights. I'm not sure at what point they acquired those rights, but blame for no...

I just want to say, great ad campaign for the mini. Any Spinal Tap reference is good in my book.

CL =Cloth binding. In the years I managed a bookstore HC was used pretty predominantly, CL not so much. It seemed a small nit to pick.

Odysseus. I have written several papers on him in undergrad and grad school. Fascinating. I also find Odin to be a very rich character. As far as monsters, hmm, tough one. I like the roc and genies from the Arabian Nights. And anything that is a "spawn of Typhon" is generally pretty cool...

Sadly, nothing. So I ordered Denizens of Avadnu for myself!

Wow, thanks for the notice! I am planning on ordering Denizens from InnerCircle on Monday, so this makes a great comapnion. Thanks InnerCircle!

Happy Life Day all you Wookiees!

Dave and Luke, thanks for dropping in to share some insight into what Burning Wheel is all about. I have been kinda curious about it, having read about it here and there online, but haven't had the opportunity to peruse a hard-copy. You have piqued my interest sufficiently that I will be...

I would say Oriental Adventures - a whole pile of new directions to take things in. Manual of the Planes Monster Manual II Shaman's Handbook from Green Ronin is pretty solid. The Book of the Righteous from Green Ronin The various Books of Might from Malhavoc Press Seafarer's Hanbook from...

Red Box! I myself think that something more like an actual role-playing game is necessary. In fact I think that the current Basic game is too much like a board game if anything. If the idea is to get young people to become "real gamers", they need a "real rpg". By that I mean there needs...

Hi, I'm looking for a group in the area of Geneva (although I am willing to drive a ways) to join. I prefer D&D 3.X, but am interested in and willing to try just about any other system or genre of game. I am an experienced gamer (~20 years) and GM, mature with a good sense of humor. What I am...

I chose "not after 15th level", but that mostly has to do with my group. It is the only group I have played 3e or 3.5e with, so I assume there are people who I could DM a higher level game for more comfortably. My main problem has been that most of my players prefer higher level games, but...

Many years ago while playing WEG's Star Wars, one of the players had to make a check for something, and had about 15 d6s to roll. He rolled 14 "1s" and 1 "6", on the wild die. Which he promptly rerolled for a "1" The rest of the night was spent discussing whether the governement or the devil...

Me too! Me too! Thanks for pointing this out, Hal. This is the coolest idea. My user name is Sleepy Voiced (so as to avoid confusion among, um, myself). Good luck folks!

I have to agree that a bard can play a significant role in the Banewarrens (especially when dealing with various factions- figuring out their agendas, and getting them on your side). However, it sounds like what you are describing is a good old fashioned paladin from the PHB. Charismatic...

I have to attribute most of my college education to D&D. In HS I was playing both a classical Greek game and an Al-Qadim game. When it came time to pick a major I chose classical languages, as the bit of the ancient world I researched for D&D was fascinating. I also took as many classes on...
