    Best High Level Anti-Night Elf adventure, any edition?

    I'm looking for a good climax for my 3.5 game. I have the Queen of the Spiders adventure from AD&D, as well as Expedition to the Demonweb Pits for 3.5 and City of the Spider Queen from 3.0. I've read big chunks of these, but I'm looking for experience from someone's who's played. If you know of...

    D&D memory stick clues?

    Oh my god it looks like a troll!!! I'm only exaggerating a very little bit. I love things that look like what they're supposed to, but drawn well. Rather than reinventing the wheel.

    Why D&D Should Be More Like WoW

    ... I find playing D&D pretty gratifying.

    Why D&D Should Be More Like WoW

    There are lots of players like this. Here's my response; Making a character is not playing the game. It's stuff you do outside the game. Now, many games make a lot of money because they deliberately engage the player outside the game. GW built their whole business on the fact that teenagers...

    Why D&D Should Be More Like WoW

    I posted this on my forums, which have, like, 10 users total. But they're almost all game developers of one stripe or another. My friend John responded with "D&D should not try and be more like WoW." Here's my reply; There are lots of ways in which D&D should be more like WoW. Though I don't...

    I'd bet it'll be like registering software, in which you enter your name and contact info a serial number when you register, allowing them to track stolen or hacked serials.

    Good Build for a 7th level Ranger?

    In the original post I said "let's presume race is human" because I didn't want to try and explain what he really was. :)

    Good Build for a 7th level Ranger?

    The character is a Brocc, a race unique to my setting. They're Small badger-men. This guy rides one of those six-legged Briar thigns from the MMII or III. Obviously not the 21HD version. :) So he's small, he's an archer, he rides his Animal Companion. Any suggestions? What does Swift Hunter do?

    Is there a skill-based Sorcerer?

    I'm looking for a base class that casts spells like a Sorcerer but gets more than 2 skills per level. Is there such a thing?

    Necromancer's City of Brass

    I am really looking forward to this. There's no reason Necromancer should be able to fulfill my own person vision of what the Fabled City of Brass should be like, but I can't wait to see something really meaty that I can sink my teeth into and customize to suit.

    DUNE: questions about a RPG game.

    You might have recalled that from the sentence following the one you quoted.

    DUNE: questions about a RPG game.

    There was never a d20 version. The version you're thinking of is the CODA version. The only published Dune RPG. Johnnype: The outline mentioned levels because it was, indeed, for the d20 version we were working on at the time. Alas, like so much, it never saw the light of day.

    Good Build for a 7th level Ranger?

    I know going all out in Ranger is unusual, but does anyone have any advice on what feats and gear are critical for a stealthy, tracky 2 weapon-fighting ranger at 7th level? Let's presume the race is human.

    I think that entry's just wishful thinking.

    Watchmen cast reported

    It could, but only by discarding all the stuff that made the US v USSR so critical to the story. As someone who, maybe like you, grew up in the 80s and read Watchmen as a teenager, it's hard for me to accurately describe to younger folks exactly how relevant Watchmen seemed. I grew up as part...

    Watchmen cast reported

    This is demonstrably untrue. Witness...every period piece ever produced by Hollywood. There was reportedly a lot of pressure from the studio to update it, but Snyder stuck to his guns and said no. He's also planning on filming all the Black Freighter stuff, even though he thinks it won't make...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    It's a good answer. It's interesting that your first response is the Conan movie(s). I presume that's because, over the years, people with affection for the movie ask you what you thought of it, expecting the answer to be positive. Certainly there's a lot to be disappointed in. I've noticed...

    Hexes are cool!

    Someone may have already explained this. One a square grid, the distance from the center of one square to the center of any adjacent square is not constant. The centers of the squares North, South, East, and West of you are closer to you than the squares to the Northeast. In other words, unlike...
