Heroes of Arabia, Heroes of the Orient, Heroes of Africa, Heroes of the New World. When I saw it mentioned that Oriental Adventures was considered an entry in the "Genre" supplement line, I really got to hoping for a 3.5 udate to OA, as well as installments for other cultures not typically...

Why not give a unique (as in truly unique, only one) monster or other villain DR _/Diamond? I haven't done such a thing myself, but I love the DR rules, they give monsters some cool flavor. If you have a player interested in having diamond tipped arrows, or just want to introduce them to your...

Cas Oops, there I go shooting my mouth off again. So, if it isn't a closely guarded secret, what does tha C.A. stand for? Or should I keep mentally calling him Clark Ashton Suleiman whenever I see his byline;) Anyway, I got this last night. Great work Ari and Co.! From what I have read so...

I'm the DM who causes all these problems, and so, I apologise. My players must have a good score of 3E characters each, and each character gets used for a few sessions each. I am a campaign nut/killer. In my defense, several campaigns have ended as the mix of players I have changes pretty...

The demigod CAS. . . Hmmm, I suppose Klarkash-ton was already used by Lovecraft, leaving Cas for the name of this demigod. I could be wrong. Anyway, what really has got me excited about this book is all the times Clark Ashton Smith is mentioned by the writers of the book. CAS is my favorite...

I think it must be the overexposure. I myself don't have a problem with drow, and I attribute that to the fact that over 20 or so years of gaming they have never really been used in any games I have participated in. On top of that, I'm not into the Realms, so haven't really been on the Driz'zt...

Complete Encounter: Dark Elf Sanctum Paizo Publishing By: Mike Mearls, Wayne Reynolds, Christopher West, Neil McKenzie and Stephen Radney-McFarland $15.95 Compleat Encounter: Dark Elf Sanctum is the first product of Paizo's new GameMastery line, intended to facilitate play for harried GM's...

Thanks Crothian and Truth Seeker, I appreciate the help! edit: About Paizo's site being down, that seems to happen fairly regularly, but for brief periods. It will usually come back up after a few minutes.

Sorry, http://paizo.com/store/paizo/byProductType/roleplayingProducts/gameMasteryLine/compleatEncounters/v5748btpy7fir I'm afraid I don't know how to do the snazzy links. Thanks again.

Having read some more, I see I was mistaken. The four maps constitute a single adventure (although each part could easily be separated from the others). It seems to be a pretty good, albeit standard, adventure for dealing with Drow and other underdark badguys. It is definitely for the...

Hi, I would like to post a review of Paizo's "Compleat Encounter: Dark Elf Sanctum" in the reviews section. Would someone be so kind as to add it to the database? Oh, and while you're at it, could you correct the spelling of Paizo (from Piazo)? Thanks a bunch! -Carl

I grabbed it yesterday. It looks fairly interesting. In fact I was more impressed with the poster maps than I expected to be. I haven't read much of the content, but it looks like there are short adventures for each of the maps. There is definitely more there than just stat blocks, however...

Funny, I read that article, turned and picked up the book I had been reading, and there, on the very page in front of me was the word "Libram". I happened to be reading Jack Vance's "Eyes of the Overworld" and had just gotten to chapter six, wherein a wizard has been captured by rat-men and was...

Wow, several posts while I was typing. Steel-wind, great idea with the DVD. Hell, brilliant idea. I have to agree that the barrier of "learning to play via and established group" is one of the big problems that D&D needs to beat. I think the DVD does that. I also think the old red box did...

I have to agree with two earlier suggestions, a cartoon and new entry level products. Once upon a time I would have thought putting a D&D cartoon on cartoon network next to Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon was blasphemous and unnecessary. Now, I don't know if the Pokemon cartoon was popular because of the...

I have a copy on order at my FLGS. My main reasons for buying this are, in no particular order: Metal Minis. I started painting minis just after Chainmail died, turns out I love it (after avoiding painting for almost 20 years in this hobby). A single encounter. I love the idea of something I...

I recommend it. I have been DMing for a couple of decades, and while it may not have told me a lot of new stuff, it reminded me of a lot of important things. Things I may never have bothered thinking about consciously (like gamer types and other "social aspect" issues). The stuff like mob...

No mention of Dragonfist. That makes me sad.

Monster Geographica D'oh! How could I forget these! I will have to have my FLGS order them for me. I have loved the magical society books, and I think it is a great idea to have Fiery Dragon do counter sets for these books. Thanks for the reminder MR. Browning!

I would guess, knowing what we know about product-development lead-times at WotC, that the first three environment books were the test (being the most identifiable and commonly used "exotic" environments). If those three did sell well, I have a feeling we will see more, but it may not be until...
