Oh, and I guess I do? Gimme a break. I rarely think about it, but neither have I forgotten. I'd like to see one hate-rant I have posted on this board (or any other) in the last 5 or 10 years on Lorraine Williams. What I just wrote above is by far the most I have ever written on the topic, and...

There is significantly more to it than that. First, think of your favorite RPG. You have purchased the core rules, and a few expansions, and you are looking forward to two major setting releases (the city of Ascalon and the City of Ys). Additionally, you just paid for a subscription to the...

There was a thread a while back on soldering vs pinning minis together. What was the concensus? Obviously pinning + superglue is the only option for plastic minis, but what about metal? Also, has anyone tried soldering plus pinning? Basically drilling etc as for a regular pinning, but using...

Thanks, I missed that. Its too bad you can't tell more about each entry. See the thing with this is...I already have planty of Cthulhu stuff, so I want to know if this is worth getting on its own merits. Now essentially what it presents is a bunch of strongly themed campaign level opponents...

Is there a list anywhere of the different entities in the Elder Evils book? WotC giving Kyuss as the example on their page was a very un-useful move; that is one dude I know plenty well from the AP. Any additional information would be appreciated.

This gets rather essay-like at the end, so beware. Cthulhu has changed minimally over the years. This is something I didn't appreciate until recently...being able to buy a 20 year old module and run it as is after a single read through. In the more than 2 decades since it was released, and...

This is something I have been thinking about for quite a while, and what I have concluded is this: Generally, the rules used in AD&D were created individually as situations arose, and the ruleset is essentially just a compilation of a bunch of different rules. I don't think complicated is...

Actually it was even better than that. A lot of combat options (like disarming with the spetum) were even easier, and FAR simpler than 3E. Instead of needing feats and extra rolls all you needed was: 1) Proficiency with a weapon 2) Single to hit roll Thats it. ...it was actually *simpler*...

So the first thing I can definitely use is a link to all of the Gygax threads on ENworld, as well as those on other sites I may not be aware of. Since I don't have a working search function here, and Google isn't co-operating with me, these links would be greatly appreciated. Next, someone...

What you are probably looking for are the Nomarchs, who were the administrators of the Nomes, which were essentially the bureaucratic disctricts of ancient Egypt. The were all servants of the Pharoah (lit. "great house" sort of equivalent of "the White House"). They were appointed by the...

Or is anyone working on one? Anyone know?

And with a single breath, all 4 of those rangers would be killed, whether they made their saves or not. Pretty much anyone who failed that save was instantly dead. 88 or 44 damage. And they can do that 2 more times in a row. Anyone who thinks an ancient red is a weak monster never fought...

The Enola Gay went with two additional bombers, but that was it, in terms of the whole route at least. By the time the Bombs were dropped, the US had total air dominance over Japan, and we had been flying sorties against the main islands for months...and they still refused to surrender. The...

Yuan-Ti Colonel, I have been curious about the Yuan-ti lately, and I was hoping you could shed some light on the origin and development of that group of creatures in D&D. WotC reserves it as their product identity...but I have been reading Howard since I was a lad and my dad gave me some...

Definitely valid points. But I wonder if this translates to success for 4E. Why couldn't DM's simply get the 4E SRD, or the core, and translate the changes back? Yeah, they have said conversion is not do-able. But what is it going to boil down to? Dropping monster ability scores, and with...

This is something I have begun to really wonder about. I am convinced a lot of 4E PHs will be sold, sure, at least the 2008 iteration. But beyond that I am wary of these predictions. One thing that seems not to taken into consideration are DMs specifically. Without a DM to run a game, there...

While these are fair points, it seems like there is one thing being lost in all this discussion about wizards in D&D. Wizards have low HPs, bad AC, and require lots of XP to level. Assuming a character was actually played (not just made up by some DM/designer with a DMPC fetish for mages)...

Excellent, found it, thanks. Its interesting seeing the two versions side by side. The dual/triple classing version makes more sense based on the narrative presented for how bards are trained in Celtic environs, and the basis for bards in Skalds of the Norse. You know, thats something I never...

Heh heh heh heh... "Splatbook" :] How appropriate for a character-killer game like Cthulhu. :lol: Seriously though, that is a strange definition of splatbook you got there. Most people would call it a Keeper's setting expansion/adventure combo or something. But yeah, I guess you could...
