Like others have said, it all depends on what you want to do with the campaign. Personally, I say avoid any of the splatbooks (Complete this, Quintessential that). IMO, they add little except for confusion and DM headaches. For me, I put my money into monster books (Tome of Horrors 1 and 2...

Against the Giants... definitely.

I recently finished a Scarred Lands campaign and had a lot of fun DMing that. Although I'm running a homebrew world now, if I was to pick up a new setting, it would buy The Wilderlands by Necromancer Games...

My thoughts exactly. Has the original poster even posted here again? Probably not, and who could blame him. Not only did people jump all over his simple comment, one guy corrected his grammar. What a great way to welcome him to the boards. And people wonder why the messageboards here get a...

Does no one else find it strange that Jack Black is this movie?

This goes for me as well. I used to have a subscription to Dungeon back in the day. I cancelled for the simple reason that there was no way I could run all the adventures I was getting, so I couldn't justify buying it anymore. However, I have to say, I couldn't resist this "revisit" and will...

Yep, if I wanted a non-D&D d20 system, I would go with Grim Tales.... which came be used for past, present, or future settings.

Yep, same here. You know a module has affected players whenever the dungeon's name, Rappan Athuk, is mentioned and they shudder.

Monster Manual 2 Dungeoneer's Survival Guide Player's Option: Combat and Tactics

When I DMed back in high school, I admit I fudged die rolls a decent bit. There were very few PC deaths. However, I no longer do that. Although we had great times back then, I think it would have been even better if the threat of PC death was more apparent. I am now older and wiser. :cool...

While I was aware when WotC bought TSR, I really hadn't noticed the lack of product. My college gaming group was quite happy with what we had (basically, we used 2nd edition rules with 1st edition adventures). I do remember thinking that WotC buying TSR was a good thing, but I too didn't know...

Me too, I should say. I don't think that WotC is the anti-christ. I think their web site is pretty cool and full of goodies. I like the OGL/d20 stuff. (Although you can put me in the "3.5 was unnecessary and a disappointment" camp.) The problem is that WotC themselves has not produced much...

Not to hurt anyone's feelings here, but I vote NO on any kind of story hour in EN World Journal. I think the mag's strength is that it is pure, meaty, gaming material. Please don't change the format!

I believe it is the one about the Frost Giant's Daughter. And the woman question is, well, the Frost's Giant's Daughter. Try this book The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian: Book One -...

I currently DM a fairly large group. One thing that seems to help (for me at least) is to have a set, regular game date. For example, we play the first Saturday of every month. That allievates a lot of "I didn't know we were playing" stuff. Plus, we have a fairly strict policy... we are going...

I think it's kind of odd to debate which author is "better." Really, it's all a matter of taste. Personally, I enjoyed both. The ironic thing is, though, when I started reading JRRT, I thought, "Wow, he could do without some of these details" and when I started reading REH, I thought "Wow, he...

Well, I bought the Starter set for my nephew for this past Christmas and he loved it. He actually put down his Gameboy to play,a rare event. He's about 10 years old and I'd say it was a good fit for him since he has never played anything like that (well, he has played the Baldur's Gate computer...

Edge of Infinity Tome of Horrors II Conan RPG

Well, my story hour is on another site, but please feel free to check it my Rappan Athuk / Scarred Lands Campaign: http://pub123.ezboard.com/fnecromancergamesfrm13.showMessage?topicID=27.topic

I'll jump in say that CC1 and CC2 are quite good and could be used for any setting, not just Scarred Lands. The Tome of Horrors is also quite good and have plenty devils and demons.
