    Dungeon Mag vs. Dragon Magazine

    Only get Dungeon if you are interested in pre-written adventures. Every Dungeon has a few other articles, but it is hardly worth buying it only for those if you don't want to use the adventures. Every Dungeon has a low-level, a mid-level and a high-level adventure (something like 1-6, 7-13...

    Order of the Stick #407!

    Damn! The page doesn't load for me. Edit: Okay, it took some tries and about 5 minutes on the last, but now I can see it. So simple, yet really good. But somehow I feel much more sorry (sorrier?) for Miko than for Shojo. There is a really sad look on Miko's face. Fallen paladin, okay...

    RIP - Eric's Grandma

    My own grandmother died two weeks ago, today is her burial. I can understand how you must feel now.

    Dear Hasbro: about those minis

    Actually I have read several times before, that the decision of what becomes a common, an uncommon, or a rare is at leass partially decided by the paint job of the figures. The more complicated it becomes (the more paint steps it has), the more likely it is to be an uncommon, or even a rare...

    A thing about d20 D&D I didn't like, and still don't know why it was done...

    You must be joking. Was there really a table like that? :)

    OotS #396

    It's almost two years since I last played D&D, and my rules knowledge is quickly declining, but can you even threaten someone with an improvised weapon (a door)?

    47,220. What is that?

    I would say that there is certainly also a "more internet - less reading" effect involved. I wonder whether the sales of RPG books in general have fallen so big in the last decade.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    No, it isn't in my copy. And I don't recognize some of the other pictures either. I'd say that the gallery includes pictures for stuff which was cut from the book.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    Again, I wrote about this earlier. :) This give you some benefits relating to the actual devil after which the spell is named. I think all of them run 1 round/level, and after they run out, the recipient is fatigued for one minute. Benefits form different investiture spells stack, but not those...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    I don't have the book here (I'm at work) but I'm sure there is no Mystra and I can't remmber any dead archdevil children.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    Damn, okay, if someone can tell me which monster is new (see the list of monsters I posted earlier), I'll write about it then.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    No, only things like Pearza is obsessed with magic and interested in Mephistopheles' hellfire or that Baalzephon is the only surviving founding member of the Dark Eight, all other are replacements or replacments of replacements of replacements... Since the Ancient Baatorians were completly left...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    Okay, I'll be out of town for three days, so I won't be able to post until then here.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    No, no, and no. But on layer 7 (Maladomini) there is a place called Offalion, which is a reconstruction of a city of the Material Planes, where devils learn the ways of men. There is also a city called Grenpoli on the same layer, where all sort of violence is forbidden, and where devils can meet...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    Kurtulmak, Tiamat, Hecate, and something called God Street in Dis, where apparently lots of minor LE gods house.

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    1. Actually the word "Heaven" is not used. 2. The realms of Set and Sekolah are mentioned, the first gets like three paragraphs, the second one and a half. (Seeing your reaction, I maybe should stop posting about the book, or WotC will sue me for destroying their sales :) More seriously, I...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    There is no "torture devil", just a pain devil also called excruciarch. It has no picture (only two of the devils in the monster section have no picture), but its description rules out it having a long thin nose. (A black spiked mask covers their faces, only showing their eyes.) About half a...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    Zariel is mentioned several times, a Geryion in the description of Stygia, and als the (now dead) Hag Countess for Malbolge. But the text never goes into detail (only when describing the death of the Hag Countess). Two cities on the layer Minauros are detailed: The Sinking City and Jangling...

    Fiendish Codex II next month--Any scoop/rumors/etc.?

    A total of 44 pages for the nine layers, on average 5 pages per layer. Not really much. Stygia is 5,25 pages.
