    Good day, gentlemen. Has anyone noticed a striking change in Dragon magazine?

    When I moved recently I went through my collection of Dragon, issue 53 and up. While many of the articles brought back fond memories of gaming sessions, the quality and selection of content suddenly seemed less fabulous than I remembered it. Though to relate to Zogg's critique I'd have to...

    times they are a changen....

    Likewise, just because one person is a "role" gamer and is 30 and another is a powergamer and is 17 doesn't mean that those pesky young whipper-snappers are all power gamers. I am making an overall assesment looking at the people *I* have gamed with over the years, and I see no corellation...

    times they are a changen....

    Personally I play with a lot of old and new players alike, and I'd be hard pressed to see any significant differences in attitudes today as opposed to 1979. There have always been and always will be those who enjoy the game more from a "powergaming" perspective, and that's fine with me. I don't...

    [eTools] Adding feat with AC bonus?

    What Cergorach said. The helpfile doesn't take direct Access editing into account, and most effects are achievable by going that route. There just doesn't seem to be any way to associate a new mod type with an existing parameter such as AC.

    Anyone else moving away from D20?

    My group and me still think D20 is the best system out there all-round, and apart from forays into systems such as Hackmaster once in a blue moon we're sticking with it.

    [eTools] Adding feat with AC bonus?

    I had expected there to be an existing ModArmorClass. I've been trying to tie into AddACBonus or BonusACDodge, but with no luck so far.

    [eTools] Adding feat with AC bonus?

    Unfortunately it doesn't. Keep in mind that I'm adding the ModArmorClass field myself, and there doesn't seem to be any way to associate the entry with the actual AC.

    [eTools] Adding feat with AC bonus?

    I'm trying to add a feat to eTools (editing the db directly in Access) that gives a +1 bonus to AC. This is where I'm at: 1. Added an entry "ModArmorClass" to the table "lookup Feat Bonus Type" 2. Added the feat itself to the table "info Feat" 3. Added an entry to the table "info Feat...

    Good Spouses

    My wife has accompanied me to GenCon for the past four years. This is our only "going away" vacation of the year, and she has never been into gaming. She never complains, no matter how many slots I sign up for or what redundant gaming gear and books I buy. The first couple of years I constantly...

    Book of the Righteous

    Essentially, the Holy Warrior is based on the standard paladin class where most special powers have been stripped out into domain powers specific to each particular faith. Holy warriors use the same attack and saving throw progressions as paladins. They also receive spells like the standard...

    Book of the Righteous

    Furn - no there is no reference sheet. The third appendix might fit the bill - it describes each faith briefly in terms of: Name of the Faith Religious Name Clergy Name Proper address and introduction for priests of various level Holy Warrior Name Proper address and introduction for holy...

Explains who all the gods are and where they came from. Chapters 3-7 describes the...

    Something is very wrong here...

    It looks like the problem might be with WotC. The Epic Level Handbook and the Book of Challenges, both of which are to be published in June, have identical ISBNs. Since the price and author info on Amazon corresponds to the latter book, I anticipate that's what they would send out when June...

    How far do you travel to game?

    I travel from Seattle, WA to Norway twice a year to play. We've had the same group going for more than 12 years now, with pretty much the same PCs. Sure wish I had a local game in addition to this, though! :D So what's a few thousand miles between friends?

    Things you DID like about the Fellowship of the Ring.

    I liked the fact that after reading the trilogy annually for the past twenty years, I walked out of the movie theatre thinking "How could anyone have done it better?".
