Geez. The Weymouth store has so many copies of some books that if the pile fell on you, you would be seriously injured. Same deal for the location on the Hanover/Pembroke line. I don't know why the didn't spread the joy around to the other locations. Sorry if I inspired any wild-goose chases...

Wow- sorry! The Weymouth Store and Hanover location both had them, so I thought it was all locations. Sorry! --Z

They had all of those titles. --Z

Forgive me if this has already been posted. Building #19, a chain of retail clearance shops here in the Boston area has come into a seemingly endless supply of 3.5/3.o books in perfect condition, and is selling them for 8 or 9 bucks. Titles include: Sandstorm Frostburn Leather-bound DM"s...

Well said as always. I agree that Gleemax is trying way to hard. Please get your eyecandy out of my D&D content. One thing i hadn't thought of until I read it here- if my entire group subscribes to the DI, will we all get copies of Dungeon? Isn't that DM only content? --Z

My cannibal cult uses a human jawbone as a holy symbol. --Z

Our game last night, a 3.5 conversion of Palace of the Silver Princess: 4th level team of 5 pc's and one npc rest after combat w/various bad guys, then set out, encounter evil hexblade and his 8 decanter goblin minions, fight for 14 rounds, one PC gets croaked, rest are pretty beat up and...

As I see it 3.5 illusions suffer from the following: 1. Interaction is too weakly defined. Frank the DM had a good list as to what counted in another thread, but Wizards has never stepped up to the plate and said exactly what it takes to get you a will save against an illusion. 2. Use of...

The charismatic hero from D20 modern has some similar abilities, and it's worked fine for us in our games. I'm looking forward to the warlord being more in that kind of spirit than the bard's abilities. --Z

But isn't the real question of a cleric being torn between using his spells for healing or for kicking ass based just as much upon on possible actions being limited per round as # of spells per day? Even if a cleric can heal all day, it still may be what he ends up doing all day because he's the...

There's always a 'least satisfying and/or useful' action you can take. If before it was (for wizards) using their crossbow, now ( it sounds like) it will become throwing an acid splash every round. Unless the idea that it's a spell that is having almost no effect on the encounter somehow...

Way # 34. Player: "I trip the orc!" DM: "I don't think you can do that with a spear." Player: "Why not? I hold it with one hand and trip him with the other!" DM: "Let me check with DDI Tech Support. (turns to laptop and begins clicking links) All right, current wait is 36 combat rounds."...

What I've noticed since 4e was announced: 1. I've never played or ran a 3.5 game over 7th level. I thought there would be more time... 2. That 'Castle Amber' refit I started back in 3.0 but haven't run since it's for an 8th-10th level group? Third time's the charm.... --Z

I don't see how this makes it easier to adjudicate them. When does the viewer get to make his will save? How many does he get? If my illusionist does an illusion of a tree, does the target get a will save as soon as he sees the tree, or does he have to study it, try to touch it, etc? If he...

The original Mortal Kombat has so much going for it! -Goro was a practical effect- no CGI there! -Radien gives the best slow-clap in cinema at the conclusion of the dining-room brawl -and as for the writing, get this: All of the major characters are introduced (and there are a bunch of them)...

I know what you mean. I've spent hours putting together a couple of concepts a few different ways to try and get all the effectiveness from them I can without losing too much of the flavor i want. I once tried to make a brawler that wasn't a monk because I wanted a chaotic guy but it just didn't...

The trouble with most ambushes is that with every person you are hiding you have another chance to be spotted. The best way around this would be to have one villain in the group who is very good at hiding and spotting cover the approach while the rest of the ambushers take positions over a ridge...

Very nice! Thank you, Solarious! --Z

Any suggestions as to where I can quickly grab a statted and spelled mid-level (7+) warlock as an NPC? Maybe someone has posted one in the Rogue's Gallery or somewhere else? A link would be appreciated! Thanks! --Z

Wow... that's just... Wow. From a strictly game-related POV, I wonder how the 'PC's' are going to react to all this going on outside of their influence. I understand that it's not entirely right to compare OOtS to a actual game, but there are precedents, so I'll go ahead and do so. If it were...
