My god, you're right. Me and my nine players (from two different groups) are the only players on earth who have not stumbled over, nor have any problems with, the current 3.5 grappling rules. :confused: I am sorry, I am a bad, sarcastic man. But you've got folks here looking quizzically...

I didn't read a thing I liked so far. So I'm very pessimistic. Actually, how do I feel "right now"? Kinda like it's a bad dream or just a non-entity. I'll plow through the next few years very happy with the game I'm playing. 4e what? -DM Jeff

I already ran Chimes for my 6th level party a wee back. As it turns out in about three hours I'm starting them on the sequel! *wrings hands in delight* And since they are now 8th-9th level I've had to do some "upping" for this excursion into Mr. Logue's paradise as well. :) However, that...

"Rules Compendium is aimed at those who want a concise rules reference for 3E. It’s intended for people who might continue a 3E campaign until or even after 4E comes out. Those people deserve a book that’ll be authoritative and help lighten the load at a game session." That's really classy...

"The standard adventurer's kit costs 15 gp and includes a backpack, a belt pouch, a bedroll, flint & steel, two sunrods, ten days worth of trail rations, 50 feet of hempen rope, and a waterskin (the bedroll is free as part of the package deal)." -DM Jeff

OK, well, so I really can't beleive I brought this up here, on boards I respect. I had actually repressed my own memories surrounding the subject or the strong opinions of folks regarding this very unpleasant yet tiny black mark on our hobby history. Again, thanks everyone for steering me in...

THAT's right, that sounds familiar now. Oofah. Thanks folks for the proper steering! :) As chance would have it (I must have swamp on the karma) I was running randomly over my D&D collection, and decided Secrets of the Alubelok Coast for the Kingdoms of Kalamar had sat there for too long, and...

You're right, I found them, thank you. Also did a bit of searching on Google and discovered a lot of weirdness surrounding this book. I don't know how I missed it, apparently the book is nearly 2 years old and I never heard anything before this? The author's comments on places like Amazon give...

OK, I'm reading this promotional stuff about this giant d20 book on FRP Games called Dreadmire. Does anyone have this or can comment on it or the author? There's a lot of names on there claiming it to be great, but I don't recognize any of them...

An old favorite of mine was also the TSR promotional tape for the Dragonstrike boardgame that oddly mimicked D&D play for the mentally challanged. I still whip that out now and then to watch my player's eyes and ears bleed. Hey, in case anyone is interested, here it is...

Thanks for the info, I like having the updated version of this. And kudos to Goodman for keeping it updated. -DM Jeff

That's great! I love the retro stuff. Here's some really funny lines from some WotC promotional tape recently...seems they haven't got any better with time! "Ze game will remain da same!" "I grapple the troll"...and the look of terror on the DM's face as he can't comphrehend the reason for the...

Wow. Old thread. I thought I invented the "last sentence of the spell" phrase that I've used to haze two of my players for years. Yes, two, out of oh, 20 or so. So I don't think of it as a problem, more as a feature for folks who seem too impatient to read through their spells so they know...

Thanks for keeping up with this, great stuff! Yes, EoE did a lot of crunching and tweaking. There's some notes on giving alternate favored classes for some creatures and others were some mystry combo of NPC levels combined with racial modifiers. Quite interesting. -DM Jeff

To the original poster, yes indeed I get you, and wrote something similar here about a month back. It's a good feeling to dig real deep into my 3.5 library and see it in play! -DM Jeff

Here's the thoughts from a 3.5 grognard... * The book is a great swan song for my Forgotten Realms. I'll use it as a source of inspiration for adventure hooks for years to come, and just ignore the last entry on the last quarter-page. :) * With regard to that question above, the books hints...

Ed Greenwood says: "I am hard at work on future Realms goodies now, and am acutely aware of the Border Kingdoms and the unpublished city of Teziir and other things too long neglected." And because I'm too tired to go searching through every Candlekeep post and whatnot, does anyone know what he...

>>>"Is 4E winning you or losing you?" It lost me at "hello". Because I don't care if it's great or not, the 3.5 game I've been running for five years is fun, fresh and exciting as day one and my players and I haven't even scratched the full potential of the game yet. -DM Jeff

Scan, resize and print...wow, and I thought I was the only one! I'll agree with this, as one who also does this work, and likes it! -DM Jeff
