Well, I didn't give specific examples about those 4 products I had mentioned (namely Deites & Demigods, Book of Challenges, ELH, and Stronghold Builder's Guidebook) because the only one I've actually purchased was the ELH. Just looking at Deites & Demigods, I immediately saw that I would never...

First of all, I unabashedly voted yes. But really, it depends on your definition of "mismanagement." It's always been obvious to me why they did this; brand new creatures in the books (rather than re-hashed old ones) means you actually have to buy the book to know what the stats are of a...

Re: Coolest Sword That's the one I voted for too. Although I forgot its name. :p

Dude.... Tiamat. TIAMAT! Although I was close to voting for Orcus.

Well I think you have to be someone who reads the boards regularly, but hardly ever, if ever at all, post anything. For example, sometimes I can't get to the boards for maybe a week at a time, but everytime I'm at the boards I do post something, usually. And I don't consider myself a lurker...

I just have one question: Why in the world don't you and the other players find someone else to DM? I have a pet peeve with jerkish and controlling DM's, I think there are far too many of them, and they are never the good ones.

Count me in; I'll be buying it for sure. I don't think the spells in R&R 1 are broken; some might go just a tad bit overboard (acid spittle comes to mind), but they are in no way worse than the spells in the splatbooks. I allow them all, for the most part. I agree that most of the art for...

The reason why my group prefers point-buy is because we don't really get to start up new games that often, so when we do, it helps tremendously if we can have our characters developed beforehand, so we can just get started right away, after describing our characters to each other. The other...

Nice! I think a product like that is long overdue. Also, I have no idea how far along you are or what contracts you may have signed, but I would think such a product would be perfect for PDF format; lower overhead, lower cost, more sales, etc... Can't wait to get my hands on it. :)

If it contained any NPC's, I know I wouldn't be interested. I mean come on, if you need a generic NPC, check the DMG, and if you have something specific in mind, make one. In fact, if it was at all "crunchy" I'd probably pass. You know that 'table' in the DMG called "101 adventure ideas?" I...

Wow, I'm sorry, but if my boss saw me doing that at work, I'm pretty sure he'd know I was a slacker. :p

Wow, I was actually going to express my surprise that diplomacy hadn't gotten more votes. I mean, every time you interact with an NPC you don't know, that's diplomacy. We use it quite often, IMC.

I have a large bastard sword, scabbard, and a big sword-holding belt for it (actually, the belt is meant to hold a large rapier, and so the sword hangs at an agle, which I like). I have every intention of adding to my collection. I need a light one-hander, and probably a warhammer as well.

Well, yeah, my FLGS has equal room betwixt WotC stuff and Palladium stuff. And if you added in the d20 stuff there'd be more of that. But still, I guess I just wish Kevin Siembieda would give in and convert his material to d20... otherwise I predict it will die out. I mean, how many new...

(mildly hijackitive) I prefer most d20 stuff over WotC stuff, because I think the qulity outshines WotC in almost every area, at least IME with the good publishers. And yes, that includes rules balance, cover art, interior art, idea relevance, and idea value. Speaking of visibility, does...

I hear ya brother. I live in a different city than the people I game with (although we haven't managed to play in months because they all work evening shifts at bars/restaurants)... so when I am free to drive down on the weekends, guess what: everyone's at work, as usual. So I have a few...

Here's an idea. If it bothers you (as a DM) so much that a super-high-level-evil-badguy-type could just swoop in and destroy his enemies (presumably the PC's or some other character central to the plot) then simply don't have the PC's go up against such powerful foes. That's what I do, and so...

Interesting viewpoint. I'm having the opposite dillemma. The last campaign I was in kind of got hijacked by another guy who wanted to DM. I got to DM for one evening, and I simply loved it; everyone agreed I was a great storyteller and did a great job... so great, in fact, that now the most...

Flexor, I totally agree with you on this one. That's the main reason why I think the whole "feat" craze of 3e is overblown. In other words, feats make the game unneccisarily complicated, IMHO. Options are great, but even a very simple feat like dodge can make huge combat scenarios a major...

I voted for SL. However, my real opinion is simply that it doesn't matter. What's the difference? Any good DM worth her/his salt is going to turn a published setting into some kind of homebrew anyway. Whether they just use the maps, the maps and locations, or the whole shebang, it seems like...
