Target has a line called KD Basics, and they used to make 5-shelf bookcases for $30 that were just perfect -- and for the price, they looked pretty nice. They were a bit narrower than most build-your-own 5-shelf cases, maybe 28 inches, and after several years with every shelf full of (mostly)...

Setting books: - Eberron - DragonMech Non-setting books, D&D: - Monsters of the Mind - DMG II - Divine and the Defeated Non-D&D ;): - The Burning Wheel (both books) - GURPS Warehouse 23 - GURPS Discworld - GURPS Transhuman Space - Aberrant (I can only vouch for the d10 version) - Paranoia -...

Sure, I don't mind it -- and sometimes it can be fun. I do like knowing what the author was thinking when they wrote the book, so I always read introductions, forewords and afterwords. :) That said, if the book is full of typos and it's poorly-executed overall, saying how cool the ideas are in...

I've only got the warrior monk, but he rocks. He sits on top of my bulletin board at work, with his bag of bits handy in case I decide to swap out his parts. ;) I've got my eye on the dragon and the big robot, perhaps at this year's GenCon. :)

Plush Cthulhus. ;)

Phil, I re-emailed you my submission when you mentioned being caught up on 6/5, and haven't heard back from you yet (my follow-up email went out 6/9). The message would have been from haiiro(at)gmail(dot)com. Let me know. :) Edit: Response received -- thank you, Philip! :)

Magic of Faerun has a fair amount of magic items, some of which are pretty cool. Apart from the DMG, I can't think of another WotC book that has more magic items in it than this one. There are quite a lot of magic items in Relics & Rituals I (from Sword & Sorcery), but -- significantly, at...

Nope. Very rarely, actually. I know I read the 3.0 PHB in full, and I think I read the 3.0 DMG in full -- but I wouldn't swear to it. ;) In the past couple of years, I think I've only read a few books all the way through: the Eberron CS, and three for DragonMech (the CS, Shardsfall Quest and...

I'm not wild about seeing material I already have collected (in some cases, perhaps for a third time -- 3.0 class books --> 3.5 class books --> hypthetical PHB II), but this idea I like. If I'd had to guess what was going to be in the DMG II, it wouldn't have been what actually turned out to be...

I thought I smelled donuts -- any Boston cremes left? Welcome to the boards, Jerome. This is a great place. :)

Absolutely! I'd held off because I wasn't running or playing D&D when they came out, so I'll happily wait for a slipcased set later this year. :)

It wound up in Arcana Unearthed (and subsequently, I'd assume, in Arcana Evolved). I'm pretty sure it's Tumble check result vs. attack roll (not just BAB roll), but I don't have my book to check. (There's also some sort of limitation on the distance, but I can't remember that one at all! ;))...

I took this approach with my last game, along with two other tactics: having a big group (5-7 players, usually 6), which meant that one or two could be absent and we could still play; and playing once a month. Backgrounds were shared at the outset, so everyone was able to play someone else's...

WotC lists it as just "July 2005." Amazon has it as July 6, 2005 -- of course, that's the same date they had for the DMG II, which came out Friday... ;)

That's all of them, I believe. ;) As for the rest of likuidice's original question, there are no new spells or other abilities -- except for the aforementioned teamwork abilities, which are very cool. There's also an extension of those abilities, companion spirits, which allows the party access...

I used to play Ultima Online, and (briefly) Everquest, and I considered my monthly fee money well spent. I agree with those who've said that the fee goes towards the maintenance of servers, etc. In all the years I've been gaming, I've either been the GM or had friends who were happy to run a...

Psion covered the first part of your question -- and as for the second, there are no PrCs in the book.

I don't have it with me to check the specifics, but Malhavoc Press's Book of Hallowed Might (the first one) had some alt.paladin ideas in it. They were based on paladins of different good alignments, but the ideas seemed pretty portable. Might be worth a look. :)

Agreed! :) And having now read the bulk of chapter one, as well as bits and pieces of the rest of the book, I've learned several things -- and filed away some useful tools for future consideration. This is a neat book, better than I expected when I bought it. :)

Whether you did it right or not depends on what level the familiar's master is. So...what level is (s)he? ;)
