I like the gnome-titans in HackMaster. They're small size but with a Str bonus... the background is that they were gnomes which were bred for combat and war... and are much like the Spartans... Small can be powerful and strong (ie: the chimps argument).

I haven't run more than a few sessions myself so far, but what I found really interesting is that the players really "shapped" the game for me, as GM. Now, I'm sure a big part of it is how I ran it, but given that there are so many things that can be done, I left it somewhat to the players what...

For me it would either be the Frostbrand or the Sunblade...

Ooops... you're right. Wrong book. Thought you meant the updated campaign setting

It's a bit of a distance from you, but I know Imperial Outpost on Thunderbird (just west of the I-17) has games sometimes, and might have people that run games further east.

Well, as an owner of both I hope I can answer that. For the campaign sourcebook material itself, there is not a LOT new... mostly talk about how to fit in many of the 4e elements into the game (like the new races) and a few changes on NPC listings to include new classes. There is a section...

Ahhh... but it does... for very large values of 2... ;)

I seem to remember quite a few from the Campaign Setting book (3e) which this is an updated version of, but I'll need to go back and confirm for sure. I remember though thinking it was more like what the old 1e Forgotten Realms books were like... lots of flavour and ideas but leaving the...

See Mark P's post above... looks like they added just that!

Well, I can't answer for Kenzer, but I can give my opinion as someone who's played/run a bunch of the Kalamar modules. I too find that modules are a great way to get a feel for the setting. That being said, modules by nature are pretty crunch heavy... that being said, I've been very...

My personal opinion is that it depends on your style. If you like the idea of the setting and just want a wealth of background info to draw on, it can work really well. Given the details on different "human races" and politics and languages, it's really great. I love the idea that there are...

Well, when I first got the Kalamar Campaign book for 3e years ago I was excited, but quickly became bored with it due to it's style... after a while though I really got into the setting (more to do with the other source books). When I went back to my campaign setting book I realized it's one of...

Beat me to it!!! :)

Isn't the rule for minions though that they can only be damaged if "hit"? If so, then if an attack roll is not made... they can't die from it. I haven't read all the rules, but I think that the excerpt covered that...

For me, I liked a lot of things about 3.X and have played it for many years now. Over the last year I've gotten more and more nostalgic for older editions though. (Hence why I'm transitioning to Hackmaster). I liked the "power range" going from 1 - 12 rather than 1 -30 (at least the way we...

For me, I'd have him become an NPC. If you wanted to you could have him "slip off" from the rest of the group, abandoning them and leaving for the surface on his own.. (to which you figure out if he'd make it or not...) but leave the other players a person sort. In similar situations I usually...

I don't have it in front of me, but also there's talk about the colonies from other lands which are there. That can add lots of roleplaying intrigue as well. IIRC there is also info on the gnolls who other races which roam the plains and jungles as well as some very interesting details on some...

Just wish they'd post at a site I could see from work... of course, my work is probably happy they're blocking these sites and keeping me from just reading them all day... :p

I personally like this style. I don't like a setting where only high level NPCs/Characters can make a difference. I like a more "low powered" setting to begin with where everyone can make a difference. Besides, why not let them be that last snowflake that decides which side of the peak the...

I think a pointy hat should be required to cast spells!!!!!!!
