    Best Value for Money RPG Purchase

    I agree totally. I'll add Dragon, too, since I often get ideas from there (although not as much as from Dungeon). Also, eTools has made my life so much easier.

    [Poll]Will you buy and use AV's BoEF?

    Of all the threads to resurrect... :confused:

    Single Best Sci-Fi Television Moment . . . EVAR!?

    YES! The last season of Angel was just fantastic! But my favorite episode features the Angel Muppet. :D

    Monster Manual IV - Good, Bad, or Indiferent?

    I think the MMIV is below average, but I don't think I hated it as much as other people did. I did find a few monsters I liked and sometimes I like the challenge of finding uses for crappy monsters in my game - the spawn of Tiamat might find themselves renamed and given a new background for this...

    Quick story

    Actually, it's kinda cool. Especially if she can play in only one session or only once in a great while. One of my pet peeves is figuring out how to deal with the character of a missing player. :)

    Was I overplaying the creatures abilities?

    I don't think this point can be stressed enough - if they had done that exact thing in the first round, there would be no discussion.

    Info from the WotC 2007 January to April Catalog

    yay! I really wish I could see what this looks like. As someone who runs a primarily urban campaign, it could either be really helpful or ...not so much.

    Which adventure was your first? Ever itch to play/DM it again?

    Mine was B2 Keep on the Borderland. I keep threatening to run it again. I have a feeling it could be done in such a way that the party wouldn't know what adventure it was until it was too late. :]

    Can you play the game wrong/incorrectly?

    Yeah, that would pretty much sum it up for me. :)

    I Just Discovered Hex on BBC America

    I really wanted to like this show, but I hate both the main character and the villain, and not in the way the writers intended. The main character has no personality and the villain spent three or four episodes doing nothing but standing around, not even talking or being menancing. I feel like...

    Music for the Schools of Magic

    Hey all, I subscribe to a weekly newsletter called Flavorpill that lists local happenings (I live in Chicago, but they have newsletters for other cities, too). Anyway, this week's email has this intriguing bit in it: "Final Fantasy perform the concept album Dungeons & Dragons fans have been...

    Augment agmented summoning

    This might be a little weenie - in one of the Books Eldritch of Might (I think), there is a feat similar to Augment Summmoning except the bonuses are unnamed. This might have been corrected in errata or updates to 3.5 and it might be something that will make the DM and/or other players angry, so...

    Does your setting have Magic Shops

    Both and then some. :) I have an organization called the Artificers Guild which will make items on commission (the campaign setting I'm using predates Eberron, so I might go back and update with that in mind). Other individuals will make items on commission as well. Sometime back I found a...

    Sell me on creating new d20 fantasy PDFs . . .

    Agreed. Phil, I'm a huge fan of your work. Coincidentally, I spent yesterday reorganizing my PDF collection in order to make a database to make searching easier (yeah, I'm a big nerd), and a large portion of those were written by you. I would hate not having any new books from you to look...

    The Golden Key: From the Casebook of Nigel Spenser (Updated 9/16)

    Well, that's D&D economics for you. The flavor of the setting might be a little different, but at the end of the day, it's still D&D. :D NO. Besides just being easier to use the decimal system, the older exchange rates brought back bad memories of 1st Edition currency. There are many things...

    [Hordes of the Abyss] Using, rather than changing

    I really like this idea. There's a lot of room to expand, to make and introduce new demonic princes and would-be princes. It also makes for interesting NPCs who are gathering power in order to invade and take over a demon lord's territory (especial for epic level campaigns). It also makes the...

    Ghost Elves

    YAY! :D Great minds and all that. ;) What do you plan on doing exactly?

    Ghost Elves

    I replaced the standard elf race with the ghost elf race in my setting; I think it makes them seem more "fey-like" to me, which was the intention. Plus it really messes with the players expectations. The "glows-in-the-dark" part, for example, came up in the last game as a plot point to a murder...

    Dread October's Dice-orcism

    Yes, yes, an annoying bump to get this back on the first page. Dread October deserves respect.

    Ringing the Cowbell - A D20 Question

    I was thinking that as well - out of curiosity, does anyone know if they will accept articles and/or adventures with non-Wizards OGL content? I can't recall seeing anything recently that wasn't printed in a WotC product first (I think before 3.5 they had some articles on Freeport, but I can't...
