    Will anyone else be glad when Star Wars is finally over?

    I'm glad this current set of movies is about done, because they were just bad, non-entertaining movies (I say this without seeing RoTS yet, so I'm talking I & II and projecting onto III). With Spider-man, X-Men, LOTR, heck even Harry Potter there are great examples of current, highly...

    Limiting magic item creation without XP.

    I use the system as written, though I allow all players to put XP into the creation (as per a magic item in one of Monte Cook's Book of Eldritch Might tomes). The biggest problem is that they can't create magic items and adventure at the same time, which lowers the fun scale. However, at...

    Mutants of Masterminds intimidation

    I'd suggest just playing it, with the understanding that EVERYONE is learning, even the infallible GM. After a few sessions a lot of questions will be raised and you'll go find the answers and be more confident. Before playing though, I'd suggest: * Creating a number of characters/villains...

    Diplomacy

    I allow it for social maneuvering and also before a fight, if the PCs or the NPCs care to talk. I would also allow it when a PC is captured or helpless--where the NPC/Intelligent monster doesn't feel like they are in mortal danger. I do not allow it to be used during a pitched battle if the...

    Would you spend $100 for a monster book?

    I have no plans on getting it, though I'm happy to have my mind changed after seeing the product. At 1000 pages I'm interested in how the thing will hold up, given that my first printing of Conan is just begging to fall apart and it is only 350 pages.

    Any other hobbies cause you to lose players?

    Have never lost a real player (real meaning someone who stuck around for more than a few sessions and obviously enjoyed it) to another hobby. Losses have been related to work, school, relationships, or that they got booted. We did lose one person to D&D though, after playing with us a couple...

    What's the best way to handle PC hit points/hit dice?

    Max hit points at 1st level. Fixed average hit points every other level (round down on even, round up on odd). No rolling, no questions, and no "fun reduction" was found.

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    I trust them . . . I trust them enough to care so much about their characters that given a moment where death is nearly guaranteed that they would be taken by an overwhelming need to fudge a roll in order to allow their alter ego to cling to life.

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    Thanks for the information. I tried the options but it really isn't what I want. This did give me a text file. It was basically unformatted, looked terrible, and was not easy to read, so I didn't print it. Using the Edit->Preferences I turned off the large graphics. It gave me big grey...

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    I do want to say I appreciate the publishers/authors who post and respond on this site (and others). Even if I don't like what they say all the time, it's better than ignoring your audience and customers.

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    I don't know you from Caine, though I do own a few of your products. And from the quality of those I think you, at minimum, exceed the current holder's qualifications.

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    I'm not in the business, I'm just a consumer, so I don't know how hard it is to make the multiple formats. All I really want to do is buy, download, print without having to alter the PDF to make sure my ink cost doesn't go through the roof. I have other PDFs from publishers that put out...

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    Thanks for the responses. I did send email to gms[AT]adamantentertainment[DOT]com on 3/20/2005 and marketing[AT]adamantentertainment[DOT]com 4/14/2005, if that helps sort through the spam folder. I only have the reader, no luck in turning off graphics. I can cut/paste, which I do when I want...

    Adamant Entertainment PDF Products

    I bought Hot Pursuit, Posthuman, and Netspace from Adamant as PDFs and all three are solid products, but the use of graphics and border shading is way to heavy for me to want to print them--and I do want to print them, I don't play with a laptop. I've written to Adamant twice about the...

    What do your players do with thier dead foes?

    Leave them to rot until they reach upper levels. At higher levels, where the foes are usually very powerful and have friends that can ressurect, they take those likely to be rezzed and reduce them to ashes and mix it with a hundred other sets of ashes. If a body part is needed for the spell...

    Favorite Dungeon Modules

    I can't remember the name of the module but it was something like Kingdom of the Ghouls. I could look it up my old Dungeons but I don't have that issue any longer, we played it so hard the spine broke.

    What was the first monster you killed in D&D?

    Large Spider in a bedroom (I believe) in Module U1 - The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. Playing Sandwell the Ranger (a borrowed character from my DM's brother).

    [Jan] What are you playing?

    Silent Storm for the PC. Turn based tactical shooter based in WWII that you can get for about $15 or less new now. Like the Jagged Alliance games. Yes, I'm old.

    An Idea about Dungeon Magazine

    I like Dungeon for default D&D and have subscribed for years. I prefer the format they are using now, with mostly standard setting adventures and a few pages of How-To. I liked Poly fine, but it got in the way of Dungeon and I'm not sad to see the format changed. I wouldn't buy another...

    Big FFG Sale -- I went on a spree!

    Great sale of some fine books. For 11 books with shipping cost it came out to $6.20/book. Not to bad for quality new.
