    Splatbooks to Beware of?

    I recently ordered far more D&D 3.5 books than I needed to get my campaign up and going, and now have the Complete Warrior/Arcane/Divine/Adventurer books. Anyways, are there any prestige classes/feats/abilities in any of those I should beware of getting abused? Would I regret allowing new core...

    Mounted Combat and Horses

    I've got a few questions I'd like cleared up. In 3.5, I'm a little confused as to how reach and being mounted on a horse works. Unlike 3.0, you are considered to occupy the entire space of your horse now. Does this mean that lances stick out 10' in front of the horse now? If so, when you charge...

    How are spiked chains carried?

    Yeah, but that's Jackie Chan. He can, and HAS fought with his own clothing as a viable weapon. D&D players are sadly, mere mortals. :)

    Searching for a fighting style

    How do you cleave with a spear? Oh, wait, Shishkabob. Ouch.

    "Quality Standards" in the d20 System Guide

    So what does this mean for the Chaosium dual stat BRP/D20 Call of Cthulhu modules? Do they have a seperate license for those, or will they have to make some changes, considering how 'obscene' the sex or violence can be in some CoC modules? Also, does this mean any future re-prints of Rappan...

    PCs Running away when they should

    All the times as a PC, in which I've ran from a combat or encounter, the other players called me a coward, and resorted to name-calling. If I really played anymore, I'd know how I dealt with it nowadays.

    Spiked Chain Miniature

    Enfin! Reaper has come through. http://www.reapermini.com/fantasy/greens.php Too bad about the Sabretooth sideburns though.

    [OT] What's on YOUR Winamp playlist?

    Well, I put together a bunch of music to use as background for a D&D session I finally got to run this past week, but the computer I was going to play the stuff on wasn't hooked up. :( Anyways, the music was ripped from a variety of video games, such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Castlevania...

    Would you hold it against a book if...

    I'd be hypocritical about it. While I rather enjoy the anime/manga style of artwork, when I see it in a non-japanese made product, I subliminally think it's trying to be all cool and hip, even if it's not, and get a bad first impression before even opening it. At least I'm honest. :p

    My tiny wish for 3.5

    I hope they give giants a larger facing. It's hard to find any good giant miniatures that take up the tiny 5' square they're supposed to occupy nowadays. :p

    When did Orcus die?

    Here's Necromancer Games' History of Orcus they did. May answer it in there. http://www.necromancergames.com/pdf/HistoryOfOrcus.pdf

    [OT] Soul Calibur 2

    Pulled this off The Magic Box, a usually pretty reliable source for game news. Apparently Soul Calibur 2 for the PS2, GC, and XBox will have Heihachi, Link, and Spawn respectively as exclusive new characters. How's that for wacky?

    Grimtooth's Traps

    I know Necromancer games is putting out a new edition of this for I assume 3E, but I saw a bunch of the originals sitting at a local used bookstore for $4.95 each. Is this a good price for them? They had most of the first several volumes, and the dungeon one as well.

    Psionics?

    Remembering some older threads recommending using ITCK to beef up Psionics some and make it more balanced, I picked it up the other day in preparation for a game I plan on running. Now that I have it, I'm wondering what all in there it is that people were really recommending? I'm not seeing too...

    Go Alice in Wonderland on your PCs

    I work at Toys 'R' Us, and one of the items we have on our little display stands near the checkout lanes, is itty-bitty decks of playing cards (complete with two jokers of different colors). They measure approximately 1.5 x 2.25 inches, and if paired with something like the plastic stands for...

    [OT] What are Fantasy Card Collecting games

    Legend of the Five Rings is huge here in Evansville, Indiana. It's the CCG of choice, it seems. The players have gone through trying all the others, and they always go back to L5R. Magic is something everybody has a deck for, but never really plays anymore.

    [OT] CD to MP3

    Go to r3mix.net and they have instructions for setting up EAC (Exact Audio Copy) with LAME. Both are free, and most excellent for ripping CD's to MP3 format. Lame is often considered among the top encoders quality-wise.

    How has gaming helped you?

    It hasn't. I know plenty of people have been helped by gaming, but it simply hasn't bettered my life in any real way. I'm probably alone in that, though.

    Do you like anime?

    Myself, I swear by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Ruined most other anime for me, since I can't find anything in quite the same vein to follow-up with.
