LOL, that's good enough. :lol: ~Qualidar~

I'll throw my vote in for software (that works on the Mac, btw), and for Arabian Adventures and Kara-Tur hardcovers. ~Qualidar~

I like this a lot (I'd keep weapon spec as is, though). ~Qualidar~

I would think that most people do feel that way, which is why current modules get made the way they do. ~Qualidar~

You can't throw out the entire railroading portion, and then say: "except for the railroading, there is no railroading." That's a ridiculous statement. There were definitely heavy railroad adventures in the late 1e/2e era (and the worst & most numerous were in 2e), but to say the "majority" of...

:lol: That came perilously close to a "spit water on the keyboard" incident. I play less during the holidays, but not a whole lot less. What's really going to throw a wrench into the works are the iminent delievery dates for two of my four weekly players' wives: one next week, then another the...

:lol: :lol: That's great! :lol: :lol: ~Qualidar~

I think you're mistaken on what most people mean when they say "railroading". ~Qualidar~

Agreed, but I thought the OP was looking for non-asian fantasy. ~Qualidar~

Well, The Hound specified "fantasy" anime in his first post, so I was trying to think of ones that stuck to the D&D tropes, so I left off all the good stuff. :p Wild and Wacky. :) ~Q~

I wouldn't really consider that fantasy, though, as it's too asian. If that's included, I'd include Ninja Scroll and Legend of the Dog Warriors. Those three are sorts of awesome. :D ~Qualidar~

Well, to be fair, it was probably one of his first 3.0 battles. ~Q~

I don't think I've seen a fantasy inspired one that's even passable. Is there a smiley for "Despise beyond all rational thought"? God, I hate the Lodos war. I can't think of an actual anime that I think is worse. Well, you're not setting the bar very high there, are you? :p I do think both...

I still don't understand the whole vibe. Are you in a college game club, or something? Why are there so many people? Do you (collectively) feel you're all played out the standard way of playing and are looking to spice things up, or is this all you've known? ~Qualidar~

OK, I was probably a bit harsher than I intended, above. My laziness comment was in reaction to my reading that the reason for gimping PC choices was due to a desire to keep the DM's workload down, and not to create additional challenges. If the point is adding challenge, then I guess the...

I think I would just avoid playing in these games. 3d6 down the line? "expansion slots"? starting all new characters at 1st level?!? Is this even fun? It seems way too litigious to me. We're playing GAMES, here, people. What are you adding here but red tape? It seems like the choice between...

You know, I don't think I've ever seen you misspell a word in that line. Do you actually just cut and paste it? :p As to the original question; I think the change happened because as time went on the company got a better idea of what worked, and what people wanted. The pendulum swung too far...

There aren't any swarms in the Hamunapra box set (and none detailed in the rules, either :p ). Sandstorm has Death Scarab Swarms (CR 7) and Scorpion Swarms (CR5). ~Qualidar~

No: 4 color is 4 color. You get the whole rainbow. That was just his style. The fact that there were so many b&w illustrations would have been due to cost, though. ~Qualidar~ (Graphic Designer)

Nice series. :) Watch out for all the loot in Gates of Firestorm Peak. That damn Axe +3 that lets you Heal 3/day was a killer. The only reason I left all the loot in was this was going to be the finale for that campaign, but we ended up running them for another 10 levels and 1.5 editions...
