    Rich Baker posts Lost Empires of Faerun Contents pages

    This is COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC but... So, you have Necro/Wilerlands/Blackmoor across the ocean from Forgotten Realms/Grayhawk...with the continent of Ansalon to the south (maybe you got Taladas floating around somewhere too?). Isn't that a bit much. Too many similar cultures on various...

    [Nov] What are you reading?

    Tanith Lee! Have you ever read the Flat Earth Series? Night's Master; Death's Master, Delusion's Master, Delerium's Mistress...and there's a fifth one called Night's Sorceries, which I still have to find. The second and fourth ones are my favorites, with the third being more of a bridge than...

    Redo 2: Select the ONE non d20 game you would play?

    Am I the only person on these boards who loved the Cyberpunk 2020 Rules...Before the R.Talsorian rules mixed with the Hero systems to become the d10 systems (I think, anyway). Cyberpunk campaigns were the only ones we played that lasted for a long time (the longest one being a bit over 2...

    [Nov] What are you reading?

    Oh, definetly finish the Sarantium Mosiac. I love the ending to that one. I highly recommand Kay's latest one, "Last Light of The Sun" (I'm pretty sure). As much as I love Tigana (and all his other books..well except for the last two Fionavar Tapestry titles), I think this one is my favorite of his.

    Whats the worst you've ever read? Scifi/Fanstasy

    Yeah. Before I realized that he sucked so hard, I got one of his paperbacks at a used book store. It was part one of a two parter. The story is this...some dwarves want to go back to the Moria rip off (whatever he called it) and kill all the orcs and goblins and whatnot inside and make it safe...

    Most Unusual or Outrageous Character or NPC Names

    yeah, I got some: Blaster, A dwarven fighter Edgar Wong Po, a human monk Ferd o' the wild frontier...I think I was inspired by Ren O' The Blades from FR oh man, these aren't even funny.

    It's not the heat, it's the butter.

    I've finally figured out why 3rd edition bugs me

    I understand what your getting at Sebastian. While I stopped playing 2E years and years before 3e, and I do think that 3e is a much better GAME, I do miss that certain feel that 2e gave me for so long, it was a little more...inspiring?

    [Nov] What are you reading?

    I'm in the middle of Alastair Reynolds "Revelation Space" and although I'm not a big SF fan (Dune and Simmons Hyperion & Endymion Books are pretty much it...oh and Octavia Butler) I'm really enjoying this. I hope Chasm and Redemption Ark are as good. I've been trying to get through Henry Millers...

    New to the Hyborian Age: Where to start?

    Thanks Lurker, those are exactly the sites I was thinking of.

    New to the Hyborian Age: Where to start?

    A bunch of other people have written Conan stories (Robert Jordan among them), but most failed to capture the feel of the early Howard stories. I believe Dark Horse is making a new Conan comic book. Marvel made one for the longest time, several actually: Conan the Barbarian, Savage Sword of...

    New to the Hyborian Age: Where to start?

    Robert E. Howard's "The Coming Of Conan The Cimmerian" It's only a year or so old, in quality paperback and pretty cheap...$14.95 SRP. It's the original Conan stories in sequence of them being published. It's true classic Sword & Sorcery and it's great. ISBN #0-345-46151-7

    Erik Mona on the Future of Dragon Magazine

    I think it's a great idea! Not just for Greyhawk though...

    Setting Secrets to be Revealed

    How dare you mock the glorious Pea Ice-Cream. FOOLS!! Sibeyrs Jammers do seem pretty cool. I always wanted to do a psionic powered spacejammer campaign, with psionics replacing spellcasting as the norm, but I would love to see your version.

    Alien races?

    I also recommend Fading Suns. The Ur races are some of my favorite alien races I've encountered from any source. Don't laugh, but have you checked out Rifts:Atlantis?. Ignore the rules, because they are awful, but some of the races in it are pretty neat. You could tone down the Splugorth from...

    I just bought Trinity D20 and City State of the Invincible Overlord any questions?

    OK. Does Aeon...er...Trinity d20 play anything like the WW version? Power wise and everything. Is it a new system or is it based on the XPH? Does it have Career type classes or is it based off of d20 Modern? Is it anywhere near as neat as as the WW version and are there any plans on WW (is it...

    Solomon Kane

    The Savage Sword Of Soloman Kane! I remember snagging my dad's issues of the magazine sized "Savage Sword Of Conan the Barbarian" from Marvel and being taken away from this world with it. That mag more than anything else fueled my early day's of D&D. Nothing better for a boy going through his...

    Good Sources for creating a Post-Apocalyptic World?

    What kind of post-apocalyptic world are you looking for? Mad Maxish or a few hundred years after the fact? I've only skimmed the new edition of Gamma World, and it does look pretty neat. I've only played one edition; it was an AD@D analog (with THAC instead of THACO) and my group had a lot of...

    A simplified D&D? Aren't you all forgetting something...

    AD@D 2e broke my RPG playing Cherry. We played and played and played that damn thing. We played home brews, we played FR (the 1e boxed set). We started to get bored with it...but wait, what's this...Spelljammer...hmm. That lasted a very short while, but It was pretty neat and we did have a lot...

    Steven Eriksons Malazan series

    I dislike R.A. Salvatore. I have yet to read any of Gene Wolfe, but after looking through some of his books and after all the good things I've read about him on ENWorld, I plan on giving him a go. I may be the only one, but I started the Gardens of the Moon after I received a preview...
