People with books think they are soooooo frickin' coooool. I hate people with books.

>>I ordered from Amazon on June 9th, and I've had the same problems with shipping date(which was apprarently last week, and the books were supposed to arrive two days ago). Well, I messaged Customer Service, and though I haven't gotten a response yet...my books have changed from "Processed" to...

Although I think WotC are being greedy and mercenary to release this quasi-revision psuedo-new-edition so early in the product cycle, you simply cannot help but notice that they are putting out some physically GORGEOUS, nearly decadent hardbacks. Think about it: If ten years ago they'd told...

I haven't read that, but yeah, that's the mindset. And for all those people complaining about undue costs and such-- these prestige classes have been designed from day one as splat-book filler. In the future, there will be a different prestige class for specializing in every single weapon...

One problem with the D&D mindset -- although it's not necessarily implicit in D&D -- is the idea that unless you have a different "character class" than another dude, you don't have different roles or different characters. And that's dumb. There can be a lot of differences in personality. And...

I don't see the need to create "new" (actually, not new, just rehash) character classes every time they create a new setting. One of these days, I'd like to see them just say, "Look, all characters are third level fighters. They can choose their three feats from either the D&D PH or from the...

Oh, man. You know, when you mentioned it, I almost bought from buy.com. But the back-order thing bothered me. And I'd already ordered from Amazon. Now I have orders in to both Amazon and Walmart, and of course I'm planning to cancel one as soon as one ships; and I'm wishing I could just...

Part of the promise, I thought, of the Open Game d20 movement, was that we could stop writing new rules for every damn variant game and just use the basic D&D or d20 Modern rules. And yet every time I open Polyhedron, I'm looking at a new rewrite of the PH.

"It reminds me of a discussion of how the Call of Cthulhu rulebooks provide adventures so you can "see how to use" it, whereas without the example of how to map the genre to an RPG adventure, such an oddball genre would probably get read and sit on the shelf significantly more." Exactly. Look...

I mean, you could do a serious sort of one-shot about Vikings (both a game and splatbook about Viking culture, etc.); you could follow that up with a funny one-shot about modern college students being catapulted back into the Age of the Dinosaurs (although there'd be furry monkey-men there...

Thundershot, When did you order? It was recently, was it not? Were the books listed as in stock when you ordered? I'd love to order from them, but they're listed as "On order" (i.e., awaiting delivery from the printers), and they can't tell me when they'll get in new books.

Roncer, Thanks. Maybe I will. By the way, I guess I missed a simple word to describe the sort of "Beer and Pretzels" game that Dungeon hasn't done for a while: The One Shot. God, I love one-shots. Instead of trying to do full new RPG's every three months, break them up with fun, dumb...

I'd like to see, for an example, a Horror Survival minigame, using the D&D rules. In this game, everyone plays a teenager; it's Halloween (of course), and all the kids are sneaking into the local six-flags type park after midnight. (Friends of them who work there are letting them in without...

Erik, I've got some complaints and some suggestions about the Dungeon/Poly magazine. First of all, I used to LOVE the minigames. I didn't used to buy dragon, and I didn't buy Dungeon for the dungeons; I bought only for the mingame. I'd flip through the dungeons, but it was the minigame I was...

Chris, How quickly does buy.com usually ship things out? I've already got these puppies ordered at Amazon, and I don't want to lose my place in the queue... unless, that is, buy.com is pretty quick about delivering books. Then I'd sure like to cancel Amazon and get them from buy.com!
