    Gencon OZ... anyone going?

    Very late notice but it looks like there's now one space available for that OD&D game. If you want something to do today at around 1pm and can register for it (not sure how on-the-day registration works) then please come along!

    Against the Giants picture gallery is up!

    Incredibly, this is worse than the last set. I do like the bugbear lancebreaker, though. And the fire effect looks good.

    Gencon OZ... anyone going?

    Having lived in Brissie all my life I still consider it something of a country town, at least when compared to Sydney (or "Australia's Answer to New York" as we like to call it). Much more laid back and, well, country-ish, is Brizvegas. Oh, sure ... it tries hard to be all hip and trendy but...

    You know 4th edition has succeeded when...

    Shemeska is right on the money here. I've played and occasionally even DMed games where the players were so engrossed that no-one remembered (or bothered) to ask for XP. Not one of those systems was 4e. In fact, prepare yourself for a shock here, but most of those games were 3.5e! Insanity...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Publishing Hires Sean K Reynolds

    Greyhawk maps

    I've been collecting your maps for some time, Anna. They are gorgeous -- you have some amazing talent!

    Gencon OZ... anyone going?

    I'll be there (living in Brissie I have no excuse!). I'm running an OD&D game Saturday arvo. I agree that I've been a bit ... concerned about the organisation of GenCon Oz but it is the very first one so they need to be cut a fair bit of slack. Really looking forward to it. :D

    Which version of D&D or D&D-like will you be playing by the end of 2008 ?

    3.5, Pathfinder, OD&D and BD&D for us.

    Obviously my sense of humour isn't as sophisticated as others ... I found this strip most chuckle-worthy. :D

    Fluff: Paizo vs 4e Monster Manual

    While I am investing in Paizo's Golarian setting my players won't be journeying in it any time soon. That makes not one iota's difference to how very useful the Classic Monsters Revisited book is to me in the current setting I'm running (Greyhawk).

    Fluff: Paizo vs 4e Monster Manual

    Ah, a man after my own heart! And, coincidentally, I just ordered Denizens of Avadnu from Paizo only a few days ago. Very much look forward to reading it.

    Fluff: Paizo vs 4e Monster Manual

    There are some rules sidebars here and there (and monster stats using the excellent Paizo stat block format with tactics and the like). The vast majority of the book is taken up with some of the most interesting and provocative monster ecology write-ups I've ever read. If you're only...

    Fluff: Paizo vs 4e Monster Manual

    My latest Paizo orders are starting to arrive, one of which was this wonderful book. I can't put it down. I .... wait! What was that creaking noise outside?

    Nostalgic for basic D&D or AD&D?

    For the last 12 months or so we've been mad-keen on OD&D(1974) and bD&D. We still have our regular 3.5 game running as well. The OD&D and bD&D games have been pure, unadulterated fun. Quick and deadly, just the way we like it. And they're both bliss to DM.

    OD&D at GenCon Oz

    Just a heads up for all you grognards, young and old alike, that I'll be DMing a session of Original D&D at Gencon Oz. You can see the session details here.

    d20 Monsters to OD&D/BD&D

    Thanks for this, jdrakeh. I was really looking forward to seeing this in Fight On! -- I'm sorry that it won't make it in.

    New FREE Netbook - CDD#4 Encounters

    This is awesome! My OD&D and BD&D games thank you, Kellri. :cool:

    possibly looking for a new system - need recommendations!

    OD&D meets all of your requirements except for the Action Points (though you could argue that it negates the need for Action Points by its very nature). I love 3.5 but find OD&D revitalising.

    D&D 3E/3.5 How has the 4e announcement helped your 3.5 stash?

    An acquaintance of mine is moving to 4E so he had about a dozen 3.5 books that he wanted to off-load. I thanked him and told him that it was highly likely that I probably owned all the ones he had anyway, such is my library, but I was obliged to take a look anyway. Much to my surprise I walked...
