Name the freakin' world and continent for one! I remember playing in one friends homebrew and while the group was plane-hopping, we ran across someone from Toril. All right, fine. She begins talking about her world, and Toril, and at that point, I begin talking about where our group comes from...

More or less what Nightfall said. It does depend on the party, to a degree, for one, obviously. Other than that, Stalker Ratmen seem to get along fairly well in god-worshipping lands, though they tend to stick to the outskirts. They often offer their services to the highest bidder, whoever...

Well, there's two ways you can look at what monster book gets used the most. If you only use one monster out of a monster book, but that monster is the campaigns equivalent to orcs, then that book arguably sees a lot of use (even if you eventually just print out the pages you need so as to...

With rides and limited sponging ability. I'm generally broke as all get out, and don't drive, so my players generally take care of my transportation (we don't play at my home, either), and though food and drink isn't always taken care of, when it is, it's nearly never from my own pocket due to...

Keep in mind the Power Word, Blind, is an Enchanment spell in 3.5, and quite possibly one of the evokers restricted schools.

The Termana hardcover has information on the charduni; however, I didn't find it to be so great, personally. The book is worthwhile, however. Then there's the Faithful and the Forsaken...the charduni stuff in there is good. More or less. However, one of the strongest points running throughout...

Or, heck, one of the best sources of inspiration for paladins out there, Arthurian myth. Just finished up "The Once and Future King," myself all of about an hour ago. Little geek that I am I was all throughout it giving a mental checklist of "probably a fighter," or "probably a paladin,"...

Monks. Simple as that. They stick out like a sore thumb in an assumed psuedo-European game setting; plate mail, long swords, elves, dwarves and...sai-wielding, karate-chopping monks? It may not be so bad were they restricted just to the core rule books, which are supposed to be generic, but...

If there's one thing that should be ignored, it's the flavor text of the Mystic Theurge; it's essentially just a dual-spellcasting class balance fix, to a degree. If that's the only problem, well, there you have that - consider the flavor text just filler for everything else. The Mystic...

My professors have repeatedly told me to simplify my writing, and even when I think I have, I still wind up getting comments on my word choice. As it is, having gone through some of the role-playing stuff I've written up (none of it published, though come to think of it, what little I have I...

I normally don't preorder anything, anyway; I'm of the opinion that it does too much to support bad products, and unless there's a limited supply of whatever available, or there's some kind of bargain for grabbing it early, I'm patient enough to wait until I have some clue as to what I'll be...

Gah! Dr. Katz reference! One that I often use at that... I'm huggin' ya, but I'm hittin' ya! Either that, or that's not the reference you made, and you're just thinkin' I'm crazy right now. Hehe.

I'd want to be with my friends, anyway. Not to get too touchy with things here, but I'm fairly certain I was gaming within less than week after the 9/11 attacks. Of course, it really depends on how long it takes for things to get here, and what can really be done about it all, but, assuming...

That doesn't surprise me, actually; I think a lot of people foolishly buy bad books on the basis of "Well, gee, it can't be that bad, can it? I'll pick it up and see..." And while a great book may get roughly about the same amount of press as a bad one, I'd say that books that only hit the...

In general, I don't let my NPCs do anything I wouldn't let my PCs. In general. I do break the rules, so to speak, and often enough, don't tell my PCs that I have, but generally, if similar circumstances crop up, I'll do the same for the PCs as I have my NPCs. So if an NPC sorcerer uses a spell...

Arcana Unearthed seems a safe bet; it may have just sold exceptionally well initially, but it still had that first good go. Beyond that, I'm tempted to say the first Relics and Rituals was a big seller. To my knowledge, it was really one of the first spell supplements to hit the market, and...

Well, these days most of the messageboards I frequent are d20 related, and my friends play D&D, soo...no, I don't see much of the d20 hate. However, I can see where some people are coming from, from time to time - Call of Cthulhu being one of them, where I don't really think that the d20...

Just to throw in due to your comment on not wanting to look like you're ragging on the book, it's typically better to put the bad stuff first, and then the good stuff, when you don't want people to have a poor opinion of something. The last thing people read or hear is typically going to be what...

You just tried pimping upwards of eight books when a minimum of accessories was asked for. I fail to follow where that's better. Anyway, Dreaded Beast, the Ghelspad Hardcover gives you a place to play, the Creature Collection the different monsters to help set that place apart from the...

Bare minimum, you could arguably just go with the Creature Collection Revised (even if you're playing a normal 3rd edition game, it's still a generally superior book, and probably would need less fixing to make it fit with 3rd edition than the 3rd edition Creature Collection needs general fixes)...
