    Art in the Revised Monster Manual that you'd like to see redone

    I find most of the art uninspiring, with a few exceptions such as the following: Achaierai, Chimera, Couatl, Kuo Toa, Owlbear, and Worg. But this has been said many times before and I doubt they will change much of the art, if any, between now and then.

    Thinking Outside the Box

    Sure, "mixing" things up can be fun. But I get so upset when I see or hear someone describe a traditional-themed setting as "bland" or "conventional". No, it depends on how you run it!!! :mad: If your focus is on general characteristics (the overall race, etc) rather than specific...

    [OT] Which team will win Super Bowl XXXVII?

    I'm surprised how long this OT poll is still standing. Have the rules changed on this or this is just Superbowl Day leniency? :p

    What is your best product? (Publisher Challenge)

    When you come up with a shopping list, please post! I'm also looking to buy a good batch of d20 products, so I am curious to know what you pick. ;)

    Thinking Outside the Box

    I just wanted to say that I did not intend the previous post specifically towards the starter of the thread. I am not trying to offend anyone in particular. My post was meant towards the OVERALL trend. Primitive, degenerate mind flayers? Sure, why not. But if that's the case all the time...

    Thinking Outside the Box

    Actually, I'm pretty tired of everyone trying to screw around with the original intentions of creators. Cannibalistic halflings and kind-hearted dark elves are fine once in a while, but when everyone is doing, then it becomes the norm. I don't find it terribly creative either. In fact, I find...

    Should a "specialist" wizard be demoted?

    Personally, I don't really like the way the wizard or sorcerer classes are set up. It doesn't seem necessary to have specializations and prohibited schools and their relationships don't even make sense to me. Instead, I'd rather see spell-casters broken down into very specific classes that can...

    [Dragon] Stop it with the fiction

    I don't really mind the fiction, if it is good. I think there is always room for fiction as long as it isn't too long. I mean after all, I didn't buy a book but a magazine. What I don't understand is why they don't put the content for Dragon and Dungeon together. It seems that with so many...

    IS Gary Gygax's World Builder Hardcover any good?

    Wow! Three hundred bucks, eh? Good for you! Do you mind sharing with us your shopping list, just out of curiousity? :)

    [OT] I'm Going To Enlist In The Navy

    From what I hear, a lot of people in the armed forces play D&D, which I find quite surprising and yet it kind of makes sense, too. This may be a good opportunity for you if you get a lot of time to play D&D, get paid, and know that you're doing a service for the country. I wouldn't go to Iraq if...

    [Dungeon] Dungeon/Polyhedron Goes Monthly

    I'd like to subscribe, but I'm not really familiar/interested in the Polyhedron section of the magazine. I would definitely subscribe if Dragon and Dungeon were combined. I think it makes more sense and I'd be willing to pay $7.99 (newstand) an issue for such a publication.

    Civilization the Board Game.

    Yep, I saw the game demo at Gen Con and I just took another look at the huge box it comes in at the store this weekend. It had hardly any description on the back so it's difficult to say. But I've played every version of the computer game series and it is great. It's obviously different as I...

    D&D and D20 at Walmart?!?

    I would also like to add, however, that big chainstores can bring in new customers that otherwise wouldn't have known about the products. For example, I think I bought my first copy of the Monster Manual at a store like this when I was very young, which I am very grateful for. I had no idea what...

    D&D and D20 at Walmart?!?

    Has anyone seen that episode of the big chain store taking over the propane gas business in "King of the Hill" on Fox? It is a cartoon show about a family living in a small town in Texas and all the stupid things that happen to them. A lot of the characters are pretty moronic and yet complex...

    Mapping Examples

    Thanks! What other options are there if you want to create professional-looking maps? I mean the kind you see in d20 products.

    Mapping Examples

    How good is Campaign Cartographer? Where can I get a copy? Also, how easy is it to use? I already have Dungeon Designer and it's very nice, but it seems a lot of people use Campaign Cartographer and it looks more like what you see in published products. Thanks.

    Fantasy Names

    I read a lot of history books, especially about the Middle Ages, and adjust them to my own liking. Simply changing a letter here or there can help create a unique name.

    [OT] I am engaged!!

    Wow, very cool! Congratulations and good luck to you! Be sure to post some pics from the ceremony! I guess with two guys getting married, you don't need separate bachelor parties. You can share the same stripper, right? Lol.

    Lich's Abode?

    There was an adventure from Role Aids called "Lich Lords". It details the lair of a group of liches who worked together, but also competed against each other, too.

    Why is the Scarred Lands Setting so popular?
