    Dwarf Wizard, how to play him?

    Go with an enchanter.... I'm currently running a Dwarven Smith who has sought out magic to create magical weapons and armor. He is Level 1 Fighter, Level 3 mage at this point. He has full rnaks in Weaponsmithy, and Armorer, and has focused on enchantment spells. Pat E

    Does anyone still play in Greyhawk?

    I am, We try to run about once a week, 5 party members, currently 3rd level, heck they probably have enough X.P. to train to 4th. About to Start the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, tweaked to fit a bit better with what my group knows about Greyhawk (i.e. no way in hell that Dwarves are...

    Size of Gaming Industry???

    Not a real RPG number, but it was reported in the thread about the price increase for the next release of D&D Miniatures that WotC has sold 4 million of the little plastic fellows... That is 500,000 units, at $10.00 a piece (full retail) they've generated $5,000,000 in Gross Revenue in about 5...

    Thieves' World/Lankhmar - why do you like them?

    Hmmm I've run some Lankhmar, but I haven't actually read the books. For me what Made Lankhmar so great was that the City Design done up by TSR was GOOD, it was SOLID! If I recall correctly, it was the first city detailed to any degree. Each part of the city with its own entry, the geomorphs...

    T1: Moathouse: Take your copy out and help!

    Thanks for all the Cheerleading... I'll certainly be posting pics when I'm done! Silveras: I've reread the description for that secret passage: ****Spoiler Warning***** The description in room 7 reads: "The Brigands are totally unaware of the secret door and staircase leading down to the...

    T1: Moathouse: Take your copy out and help!

    Hey all: I am about to try and build the Moathouse from T1 Village of Hommlet for my game group! I have been building terrain for about a year now with Plaster Blocks made from Castle Molds (www.hirstarts.com). I'm pretty excited about making the castle. I hope to bring it to conventions and...

    Hexes or squares?

    Squares! Any benefit in movement is more than made up for by the pain in the @ss of trying to map out the environment... Particularly if you start using 3d dungeons, such as you can make with Hirst arts... Taro Sarask Pat E

    Sunless Citadel Stage 1 completed

    LOL, yea, that's kind of true... Everyone has a different style though... as much as I love to play, my group doesn't get together very often... So far, I've been able to stay one step ahea do them. As for being faster, well, sure, using a battlemat is faster than any 3d option. The more...

    Sunless Citadel Stage 1 completed

    Scorch: Hope your visiting the Hirst Arts site, as there will be a ton of guidance there. I have bought 100 lbs of excalibur, and about 10 pounds of Plater of Paris. That has produced A wizards Tower, the Upper level of the Temple of Mishakyl from DL1, the Crypt level from DL1, PLUS fill up...

    First Drow, now Kuo-toa. Darn you FR!!

    I hear ya Aeolius... and I know exactly where your coming from... Now, are you ready for the next one? Ed Greenwood is writing up some new book for the Forgotten Realms... this on on serpents (see the "preview" on the EnWorld home page). Guess what! Yuan-Ti are about to get relocated too...

    Dungeon Adventure Path series in Greyhawk?

    Erik: Stick it in Greyhawk. Treat it like most of the First Edition Greyhawk Mod's and it will be fine for most generic campaigns. Forgotten Realms gets heaps of support.... Dungeon should cater to the generic setting... as Greyhawk is the Default D&D generic setting, it just seems to make...

    Advice on Opening a Game Store!

    Depending upon what your wife does you may want to rethink this. That is the plan that I always thought about when "I" dreamed your dream. But the local store here in Portsmouth NH has made it with a different Strat. Here, the owner continued to work, insuring that he was gainfully employed...

    D&D Miniatures - looking for stats

    Don't forget x10 Red Arrow, Black Shield... While not a mini's game, it was a wargame, with each "chit" being detailed (i.e. each 10th cavalry chit is made up on 100 light horse, 50 medium horse, and 25 mounted archers). Not perfect for skirmish rules, but certain GREAT for mass combat! I...

    Reviving Greyhawk: A letter-writing campaign.

    Hmmmm.... I am as big a Greyhawk fan as you fill find... I've tried FR, DL, DS, the old I.C.E. world, and just keep coming back. I haven't bothered with another CS in years. I like the fact that Greyhawk isn't fully detailed, yet there is much that "could" still be done. Baseline info on...

    [Dungeon] Which TSR Modules are "Classics"?

    I think we're all jumping to conclusions as to what Erik might have planned! But, heck, that's what I thought too! So: B10: Nights Dark Terror: A little of everything, and I absolutely love the fold out map for the first big encounter. It may have been published about 15 year to soon! This...

    Castle Greyhawk?

    I find it amusing to read such posts... So many people who now play D&D weren't even born when AD&D was first published, and there was talk in Dragon about the publishing of Castle Greyhawk.... I read on another board that EGG expected that Castle Greyhawk would get detailed out in EIGHT...

    What are my options for a ritual magic system?

    I've always been intrigued by Ritual Magic... Mostly from reading the Katherine Kurtz Deryni novels. There the Rituals are typically used to pull power from some of the participants to expand the power of the ritual leader... typically for the use of some form of Divination. I saw in Game...

    Mage Knight 3D Dungeons - Cool

    LOL... No doubt it's a good bit slower than clicking together the MageKnight 3d dungeons... BUT I can make anything I want with my molds! I'm currently working on the crypts from the Temple of Mishakil in DL1, and will be starting on the Moathouse from Hommlet in a few weeks. It does take...

    Mage Knight 3D Dungeons - Cool

    Well, they are less expensive than Dwarven forge, but they look a little cheap, don't they? Also, what would the cost be to have a full dungeon set up on your gaming table? If your interested in 3d Dungeons, I can't urge you strongly enough to go take a look at www.hirstarts.com Check out the...
