    Creation of an "Other Games" Forum?

    Other boards also talk about d20, including most of the games in the "d20 Modern, d20 System & OGL Games". Are they redundant, or is this one? Heck, there's a D&D rules forum here which is redundant compared to the one on the WotC site, right? 2WS-Steve is right in that if ENWorld is going to...

    Best Demon Fighting Adventure

    Necromancer Games has a book called "Demons and Devils" that has three short adventures, and one of those is for level 9. A number of quality reviews and links to external reviews of this product can be found on the ENWorld review page, if you want to learn more. -Clint

    "Greying" up the Greyhawk Gods

    You guys are making me feel weird. I ran a Greyhawk game for two years, and this is exactly how the gods were played--forceful personalities that don't really get along and push conflicting worldviews on people. The followers' strong belief and unpredictable interactions were great fun, and one...

    New WotC Web Site Look

    Too bad their product page ("products") still stinks to high heaven. They still don't have a page that lists all D&D books for the current edition. -Clint

    Caracassonne vs. Settlers of Catan?

    Really enjoyed both of these games, too. Simply: Carcassone is milder on strategy and faster on gameplay than Settlers, but check out boardgamegeek for detailed analysis. Settlers has a small problem of runaway losers, though. The game is moderately long, but by halfway into it (when the...

    Good online site to buy hardback RPG books?

    I remember my first impression being negative. Seeing your link here, I checked again. Thirty second impression: On the front page, there is no way to discover shipping policies, return policies, etc. Frustrating. Normally, I would have left the site then. Then I looked around the site...

    Umm... subscribed threads go buh-bye?

    Mine are gone, too (of course). I had many threads that I was saving for a rainy GM day. Ah well. -Clint

    What other games besides D&D do you play?

    Spycraft, about twice a month. We might follow up this game (whenever it ends) with some Stargate SG1. No learning curve! :) -Clint

    Greg Costikyan on Origins

    Oof. That's not very fair, Nicole. How do you get from: ...to this: From what I could see, Costikyan thought the performance was lousy. He had virtually nothing to say about Turnbull (my quote was everything that Costikyan said about him). You're really reaching when you imply that his dislike...

    Dancey and Tweet on growing the hobby

    Remember, a product like this would not be aimed at you. You're already in, and these are gateway products. In my experience, these products would be useful for adults who wouldn't consider D&D and also would categorically pass on any product that has the words: "For ages X and up" on it, like...

    The game I play in just dies... and it turns out it's my fault.

    Hi. It sounds like you're going through a tough time, and I wish you the best. Everyone here has been giving good advice, and they're all correct, and StalkingBlue in particular has great advice. I do have two more thoughts to relate, based on what you said. 1) Never expect the kindness of...

    How big are your house rule changes?

    Spycraft probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but I play a "second generation d20 variants". :) -Clint

    Font for FR Web Enhancements?

    Ok, then I have a challenge for you. :) What is the font used for the title (and internal section headings) of the Spycraft books? Not the actual Spycraft logo, but the font used for the book's title. (For example: at www.spycraftrpg.com, it's on the first book cover that says "Agency") It's...

    Woe is Me! Shadowforce Archer Cancelled!

    You have two different thoughts running here. 1) The 60s is a campaign book with everything you need to run the popular espionage genres related to that period. This includes appropriate gear and espionage tactics of the time, new agent options and Agencies for the agents to be tied to, and tons...

    Woe is Me! Shadowforce Archer Cancelled!

    AEG is putting out more books for the core line, specifically on how to easily make your own campaign. Agency is showing up in stores right now, Mastermind follows soon after, and then Freelancers later this year. They also have a couple of military-organization books for later in the year, U.S...

    Penumbra Fantasy Bestiary or Monsternomicon?

    I vote for the Penumbra book. It is everything that I want a monster tome to be. The Monsternomicon, while also excellent, was a little too steampunkish for me and never saw use in the game. -Clint

    Did a FLGS introduce you to the hobby?

    Toys R Us. Far enough removed from a FLGS that I checked 'other'. After that, I got into the hobby via Waldenbooks. I only learned about FLGSs many years later (in college), and even have yet to be impressed by one. -Clint

    Anybody have Masterscreen Quad from Citizen Games

    I've seen this in the store and thought it was awesome. However, I'm running a Spycraft game now, so I wanted something I could customize the contents of. Like some superspy goodness. :) -Clint

    Thanks. "Stands up to abuse" is just what I wanted to hear. :) -Clint
