This is a fantastically funny thread. The Auld Grump is mostly right about poisons being mostly of the save vs. die variety in 1e modules. However, a notable exception is the (otherwise excellent) Saltmarsh series. More of the poisons were of the save or not very nice variety! Silly soft...

Since we know so little about 4e, its hard to really say whether I want to go with it. On the plus side, 4e seems to be trying to streamline the game (less 3e hypercomplexity and slowness, more od&d). 3e's complexity and horrid stat blocks above about 5th level made me not want to dm the game...

I'm feeling a bit flint-headed right now

definately wisdom. low self control when around females of any species

Basically, there are two ways to play C&C. First a "fast play" game with kids or friends stopping by when you are busy working all the time. Play by the book. Characters roll up quick, adventure and thats cool. If you get more time and interest, it is very easy to house rule. Its the same...

This whole thread seems out of whack. If you are reading this thread and want a prediction of whether you will like C&C read the following. I've played every edition of D&D (and C&C) as well as a host of other ancient games (star frontiers, top secret, gamma world, metamorphosis alpha) and I...

what sale What Green Ronin sale? What is dirt cheap? I went to the Green Ronin website and saw the Black Company for sale for $40 or so? Thanks in advance

Gary Gygax The UK writers including Don Turnbull. The fiend folio was a little glitchy but the modules were spectacular! Better in a number of respects than even the master, gygax himself. Ed Greenwood. I can't stand the Realms but his stuff on the Hells was magical. Monte Cook. 3e...

Does 'loose' mean 'lose'

I haven't seen anything in Dungeon or Dragon that is that original. Oh, lets redo Gygax's module from 20 years ago. Oh, lets get Sean Reynolds to do what the Paizo guys came up with (the deity pieces). Fire Archons? Wow, thats compelling. Dungeon and Dragon are now FREE and it isn't even...

You could just ramp their levels up by one. Thus, youd be a 2 man party of third level characters with a L1 npc in a L1 module, etc.

Oops I meant why dont you start Savage Tide while you put Age of Worms on hold? Seriously, though, compare the level at which The Whispering Cairn is written to the level at which Slaughtergarde is written.

I disagree. It is generally a bad module imho. There is one cool encounter with a spoiler below blind troll but I found the module be poorly written, painfully obvious, painfully linear, and not creative at all. I recommend any of the Paizo modules instead. Why dont you start the...

Hey Garnfellow, I am a fellow Patron of the Empire. How did you weave it together with Kingdom?

Below description of 'demiurge' is out of wikipedia. In what way do you see Bombadil and/or the mage of the valley as a demiurge if you use the word in that sense? If Oerth had the tripartite elder elemental gods who spun the universe out of chaos, then how does this much lesser (neutral)...

Can you elaborate a bit on how you envisioned the Mage of the Valley? What exactly do you mean by a demi-urge? A demi-god somehow tied to a specific geographic feature. For example, the river (godling) Skamander in the Iliad? How similar was he to Basiliv in your Gord novel? I found Basiliv...

It wasn't really to my taste overall and it didn't try very hard to adhere to the spirit of the original imho. I did like the new picture of Drelzna as well as the new gnome hamlet.

I'd bet there are more IT sophisticates reading this thread than MBA types but I'll throw this slightly broader analogy out there as well. D&D 4e is running the risk of being a Clayton Christiansen sort of an "overshoot." Christensen basically argues in books like The Innovator's Dilemna that...
