A little off the path here, but on the subject of devils tempting folk on the traditional sin axis... I came across this art series a while ago, and it seems like it might be useful for this front. Marta Dahlig painted a gorgeous series of the [female] embodiments of the seven deadly sins...

You know, while most of the other reasons seem like enough on their own, I've heard this one thrown around a lot, and I really don't get it. Over the last four or five years, Dragon and Dungeon were consistently the cheapest magazines I purchased, by far. On average, any magazine I purchased...

Completely irrelevant, I'm playing a druid who took the Familiar feat (in whatever it's in, Complete Mage? Anyway,) and with half of a d8 for a high-con character, the familiar actually is quite sturdy. It can't, say, hurt anything, since it currently does 1d2-2 damage, but still. :)...

I haven't ran it quite that high, but I've done middling high with it a time or two. In general, it boosts the BAB on heavily multiclassed characters (which is pretty much a given), and has a more drastic effect on saving throws. They get significantly balanced out - characters have less weak...

Yeah, this was the one that struck me. I mean, yes - today's comic is sheer awesomeness. But I'm really wondering what makes Eugene a man who should be getting into LG paradise, even after the blood oath is fulfilled. And I'm eager to see that explored.

Didn't you a) co-author Tournaments, Fairs, and Taverns, and b) cover that in there? :p

Gotta admit, that one was one of the better M&Ms. I just don't get the urge to play them through once I've done it, whereas Heroes? I can go just shy of forever, I suspect.

If Charlemagne doesn't have it, I'm almost certain I do. I played through just a month or so ago, and I should have it still floating around since I never delete anything. :) (And I save - all games, not just FPS - like a gerbil on speed.)

It is worth tossing out that, if you're talking about Heroes of Might and Magic, that first world is very meaningful. The Heroes series is classic turn-based strategy, whereas just Might and Magic is the RPG series by the same company. Of the two, I've always preferred Heroes, and if you're...

I've gotten the uninspired "terrorism" references a handful of times, though I'm frankly more embarrassed by the fact that it's really bad teen-smarmy-pseudo-Latin. And, yet, I've been using it too long to really want to change it! :)

Yup! It's a great strip. And, as JediSoth said, his commentary is wonderfully interesting. Ironically, though, I keep forgetting to check Darths and Droids. :)

That's a really neat race, Kahuna.

I tend not to run modules unless they really wow me, so, personally, not a lot of experience with the horrid ones. That said, I have read many of them, because I do like to pick up modules to use as inspiration. Shadows of the Last War and Whispers of the Vampire Blade really are as bad as...

Perhaps it ends up going to the sort of "family paradise?" Though, honestly, it's too touching for me to want to overthink it much. :)

I'm just getting started with a very gritty, "you're mercenaries" E6 game, but if that didn't fly for some reason, I think I'd slide over genres a bit and run something using Monte's World of Darkness book - it looks like a lot of fun.

If you can, you may find the Sha'ir class in the Dragon Compendium to do much of what you're looking for - it models a trained, intelligent caster who calls spirits and has them retrieve the magic for him.

Another one for the list - Eberron introduced Shifter feats.

Gotcha. I'm starting up a slightly modified E6 campaign now, and since feats are so integral to that, I've spent a lot of time looking their direction lately. Similar reason, apparently, if a different end goal. :)

No problem. Kinda interesting... but I want to make very clear that if you don't share what you're doing with this information, I'm going to have to fling copious amounts of e-hate your direction. 'cause I'm very curious.

I actually don't think BoVD is - I know Exalted straddles the line pretty closely, but does fall into 3.5. But BoVD came quite a while first - I think it was written just before the switch. That said, I think it's probably a type worth mentioning, yes.
