    Scarred Lands: Serpent Amphora Cycle

    Doesn't SA start with a carnival? You could get the PCs in the general vicinity by having them enter events. Have the player suggest what events they'd like to see -- and which their PCs would be good at. Then add **betting**. Much fun to watch a player enter an event and have the rest of the...

    I guess we need to rally around...

    Voted, but I don't think these voting thingies really mean anything. The last time I voted, I checked out the "Number one" site, and it had somehthing like a fraction of of the number of registered users as EnWorld. I just checked Valhalla and here's what I found: The most members online...

    3E art and age

    The art's great, but I'm only neutral, b/c 3e art, like much of RPG art, "just sits there". If any of you play Paranoia, you have an idea of what art can really do for an RPG. Likewise, if you read The Duelist or Top Deck, they've used art to add some humor to the text, and sometimes the...

    Dr Seuss Competition - Discussion

    Chronosome's (sp) "Oh the monsters you'll slay" is hilarious. Interesting thing is that "Zor" sounds both D&D **and** Dr. Seuss-ish. Will read the rest later. Anyone going to do a "Green Eggs and Ham" about someone who's biased against D&D? (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Are you going to buy the Revised rulebooks?

    Yes, but I'm one of those "new" players you've always heard about. (: Started with the white box, sorta stopped after the 2e core books. Was sorta peeved when the 3e books went from $20 to $30, and a revised book ought to reel me in. Definitely the PHB, maybe the others. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    [RttToEE]Does anyone ever wonder...

    One word: Banewarrens. (: Okay, it's actually called "The Banewarrens", and it's also by Monte Cook. But it's one of the best adventures (it bills itself as a "mega-adventure") I've read in a **long** time. Wrap up your copy of Return, give it away to the cousin you've always cared less about...

    [WOTC] January to May 2003 Release Schedule

    Re: More demons and devils? < g > That's almost what they said when the original Fiend Folio came out. (: Xvarts and Flumphs, anyone? (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Best d20 Gifts for Christmas! (:

    I helped write a "best gifts" column for a site, but we didnt' have a category for RPGs. Add your recommended games! (: * The Banewarrens: $18. Sword and Sorcery / Malhavoc Press. By Monte Cook. For 4th-10th levels. Return to Temple of Elemental Evil, move over. Monte Cook (do we really need to...

    I ain't buying a thing from WotC...

    Hmmm.... Profits??? Network theory be darned (: the whole point of the OGL license was for third-party developers to put out the low-profit products, while Hasbro put out the high-profit products. It's a win all around. You gain the best d20 products out there (and, from this old timer's...

    [WOTC] Revised Corebooks for July confirmed with info

    Well, I'm happy. I started D&D since the "white box", stopped playing around college, but became interested again only a few months ago. I wasn't happy, either, when the $20 books went up to $30 (so bought the EQ RPG), and these revisions **will** get me to part with my money. On more of a...

    Everquest Players Handbook

    I picked up the EQ RPG because it was a bigger book (: A few other differences: * EQ RPG characters require more experience to go up levels, but are more powerful than their D&D counterparts. (Just love them +4 and +6 racial modifiers!) * EQ combat mechanics aren't written as well as PHB, nor...

    EQ MM: Where'd all these hit points come from?

    Just picked up the EQ Monster Manual, and boy this is fun. Plenty of sorta-like-D&D critters to spring on the know-it-all players. (: However, not familiar with the online game, I noticed a good number of the creatures have **MANY** hit points. We're talking fifty, one hundred, two-fifty, that...

    About the RPGA

    I **could** be b/c the DMs have to run a particular written module, and I know I couldn't be an RPGA DM b/c I **cannot** play a module that was assigned to me. I have a few hundred adventures, and would run less than 20 of them. That's less than one percent. I'll just run my own adventures...

    Publishing Modules

    Another thought: Modules disguised as GM aids. Modules don't have to be the standard adventure. I'd like to see a book of encounters. The official 3e demo adventure actually does this very well, showing off lumbering undead vs. cowardly kobolds. TSR's Book of Lairs sorta did this, but implied...

    Publishing Modules

    Glut, glut, glut. However, a roleplay-heavy adventure is a rarity -- not to mentions GMs and players who know **how** to roleplay. How about a d20 product that gives suggestions and tips about roleplaying first, and a module second? Pick up a copy of Orcfest for an idea of how a teaching...

    [PR] EN World Print Magazine to be Published by Goodman Games

    Re: Re: Re: [PR] EN World Print Magazine to be Published by Goodman Games Personally, I'd like to see fewer glory projects (campaign settings, new classes, new magic items, new monsters, adventures) and less crunchy bits. They're already glutting the market and I don't buy them. I would like...

    Manifesto of the powergamer (rant), part I

    Better a powergamer than a munchkin or rules lawyer! (Or are munchkins and rules lawyers prestige classes for powergamers...) Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Where can I PAY for some decent artwork?

    Then there's always Larry Elmore's clip art package. I **suspect** Citizen Games used it for their "1000 Faces" interior art. Another thought is to contact d20 companies whose products are similar to yours and have good art and see if they can help. I understand that not all art made for a...

    Rpg's and miniatures

    Minis. Yum. I'm looking forward to the Chessex 1.5" battlemat, since I also play MageKnight. Not only are MK miniatures pre-painted, but they're light and don't need the sponge holders like metals do. Pity there's no MK d20 supplement, so the minis would match the adventures better. Cedric...
