It could also be XL-1, Quest for the Heartstone, which also has an isometric map and a waterfall. More info here: http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/modpages/x.html Cover here: http://www.acaeum.com/ddindexes/modpages/modscans/xl1.html

I will be publishing Adventure Games Journal, a bi-monthly print magazine dedicated to role-playing games. The first issue will be all Castles & Crusades and Wilderlands of High Adventure, and that will remain the core focus of the magazine, i.e., at least half of every issue will be focused...

Well, I think the switchover to 4E would be the perfect time for a major showdown between the OotS and Xykon/Redcloak at a gate, if Rich can get out enough strips in that time. After all, if the Snarl gets loose for just a little bit, the gods would have to fix the damage done, and that would...

Umbrage was known in Order of the Phoenix for exceeding or breaking the rules whenever she wanted and for the most petty reasons while she was Inquisitor and acting Headmistress. It was she who abused her power and send the Dementors to Little Whinging. Perhaps it would appear that she was...

Evil with Law vs. Chaos and the Ministries Here's an example of how Evil works within the ministries and in regards to muggles, vis a vis Voldemort and the Death Eaters: Lawful Evil: A Lawful Evil Death Eater, while Voldemort is not active, will advocate anti-Muggle legislation. If it does not...

IMO: Harry Potter: Neutral Good. Likes things orderly, but not strict; willing to bend or even break the rules when necessary, but not without cause. Despises evil and all it stands for. Ron Weasely: Starts out Chaotic Good like Fred and George, ends the series Neutral Good thanks to...

Wow. One thing that has struck me with this thread is the number of respondents who mention spouse/kids/job as the factor holding back gaming time. It's an older group here than I thought... No wonder my memories of my golden days of gaming outnumber my good memories of gaming today. Back in...

Not nearly enough lately... :( Our group plays on Monday nights. If I'm lucky I get off work in time and get there ~6:00. As the afternoon Living Greyhawk game usually ends at the same time I get there, we all get together and grab a quick bite at a fast food joint down the street. So if we're...

Adventure Games Publishing will have XXXI, a Castles & Crusades compilation that includes the Tell Qa text from the Free RPG Day product, the complete Mycretian class for Castles & Crusades, and several other cool bits. XXXI is a limited-edition product; it is being released at Gen Con to...

Unfortunately, Origins was just not in our con budget this year. Gaming Report/Scrye shares a convention budget with several other magazines, so there has to be give and take every year, and this year we had to simply give, as we went the prior two years (though we did not have Gaming Report...

I would hold off judgment of Origins this year until we hear the returns from Gen Con, too. From what I've been hearing, it's not been a good year for big, national conventions, due to gas prices and rising costs of flights and hotels. That could be a major factor for all shows. Of course, with...

Thanks in part to interest drummed up by the fans, Aftermath has not, in fact, closed. So please, by all means, check it out and join in the discussions about Post Apocalypse games, movies, novels, and comics!

It all depends on the nature of your campaign. The original difference between "spirits" and "souls" in AD&D derived from a combination between the mythology of Tolkien's Middle Earth and elements of historical myths about faeries and elves. In Middle Earth, the "life essence" of elves and men...

Under the terms of a Price Flooring Agreement, should Wizards of the Coast decide to use one in its contracts, Borders would not be able to offer that 30% discount on D&D books, regardless of how it is construed as a discount or coupon or price club bonus or what have you. Doesn't matter how it...

Utterly incorrect. Wizards got out of the game retail business because it did not fit their business model. A portion of that was the level of support at which the retail stores were run made them unprofitable in the context of the business model for Wizards. It had nothing whatsoever to do with...

I have posted the tale of adventure and woe wrought by my players during my Free RPG Day demo on Gaming Report: http://www.gamingreport.com Please feel free to comment on your own Free RPG Day experiences there, as well.

Thalmin, How did the Tell Qa booklet go over? I haven't seen any commentary here on EN World, though I'd not expect much as it was for C&C and not d20...

Conan was Cimmerian, and as in Howard's myths the Cimmerians were the primary ancestors of the Celts and most specifically the Gaelic branch, a highlands Scots accent would be most appropriate. Note that Conan never loses his barbaric accent, no matter whether he be general or king. You can...

D'oh! Of course... I keep forgetting about it because I am not much of a fan of the later Thieves World books, and though it can be used throughout all the eras, it is really a more "modern" Sanctuary... I should note also that Green Ronin's new Pirate's Guide to Freeport book, the statless...

Yes indeed, both excellent classic village and town sources! N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God has a village in it, too. I should also have mentioned Carse, Tulan of the Isles, Jonril, and of course, Sanctuary, the classics from Midkemia/Chaosium, if you can find them. And the Cities...
