I don't find that hilarious. Human is not just some race, it's what you already are. This is about the question how fantastic you want your fantasy to be. I'm fine if a player just wants to play him- or herself in an exotic environment with exotic tools of trade. If that's what makes them have...

For me, the horse has definitely left the barn. I would still play it if a good friend absolutely wanted to, but that's a social aspect and has not much to do with the game itself. I actually like many of the changes 4e brought to D&D, changes that tackled problems I saw myself. As soon as I...

You know, gaming is mostly about having fun. It doesn't really matter what the reasons are why gamers play one game or the other, and I don't see why this is "unfortunate" or "silly", as long as they have fun with what they are doing. Even though I see the situation of people who stop gaming...

Well, I guess that's why Grimstaff mentioned the "first 10 pages". I would say the first two stories, "Turjan of Miir" and "Mazirian the Magician" are the most influential. These are the early stories that leave out the demon and ioun stone stuff. But I agree with the power level. D&D's...

This is very good news. I will definitely have a look at the Pathfinder RPG at this price point.

I will also go with the Gloranthan gods. Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, but most of the others have some cool twists, as well. The old Cult Compendium comprises a wealth of great ideas (maybe, the new one too, but I haven't read that one).

Well, the blurb says "six level 1 adventures", so that point should be clear. You can see the adventure titles in the preview.

My last workplace did the same. This was not a contractually fixed bonus, but our boss just officially announced that we got the time off as compensation for overtime. This happened every year. I don't see any damages here. As everyone did more or less the same, there really wasn't much you...

Hmm, I really liked the Planescape material. Such a unique atmosphere, and I also liked the art of the series. It was truly a time of wonderful stories. Nevertheless, I never liked the Great Wheel cosmology. Too symmetric. Quite a few weird, but lastly uninteresting places. Other parts looked...

Well, in a certain sense, an RPG is software, and your brain is the squishy hardware ;). Anyway, I usually give a product a year before I give up on the thought it might ever be released. If it still comes out on a later date, I will be positively surprised. Some books managed to be years late...

I have the Toolbox in print. Highly recommended :)!

It's already on my amazon shopping list :). I heard it's very derivative, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. I don't think so. The chapters are somewhat rearranged in order to combine both pdf's in a sensible way, but the contents is the same. It's just a print version for those people...

That's the one I'm looking forward to most. I still haven't bought the Golarion book, so even if it's not a new product, it looks like it will be one for me :).

Too many. I'm not completely sure about how many of my 3.x books are actually from the 3.5 era. It's clear that I bought less and less WotC 3.5 books in the late years, because I didn't really like them anymore. On the other hand, they published more, so the 3.5 years have some kind of...

No, I didn't. I read through the PHB when I got the opportunity, but it didn't really grab me. I would give it a try if someone else were the DM, but no takers yet. My lack of enthusiasm might play a role in this ;). I still like SWSE though.

Except for the name (the origin of that has been mentioned), I'd say that Dragonborn have their origin in good old Dragonlance.

That's right, it doesn't fit the table on a plane very well. On the other hand, it has enough oompfh to slap it over your neighbor's head. I'd call it a wash ;).

I think the sweet spot of netbooks is the 10(.2)" screen. That's big enough for most reading if you are past your thirties, and the Asus 6-cell battery gives you at least 5 hours of operating time. Highly recommended :).

Tact-Tiles are not produced anymore, because the company had worked with a local manufacturer that subsequently noticed that their cost assumption for what they could produce the tiles was much too low (the quality tolerance was very low, because the tiles have to intersect). I love mine :).

I just assume that there's a "not" missing. In a certain sense, CRPGs made me realize how ridiculous the assumption of medium creatures fighting gargantuan or colossal monsters is. It should be more like bee stings to the monster.
