    Operation: Power Level Gary

    This is a fantastic idea! Unfortunately, I don't know how many other people I have to give xp before I can give Col Pladoh a second xp.

    Bob Salvatore on the various editions of D&D

    I liked the RA Salvatore thing quite a bit. I've only read a few of his books, and don't have a strong opinion on his work either way.

    3.X essential books

    As a player: I really liked the Complete book Series (though I never have read Complete Scoundrel or Complete Psion), and the PHB II. As a DM: DMG II, PHB II, Heroes of Battle, Heroes of Horror, Unearthed Arcana. I also have to chime in: I really like the Forgotten Realm Campaign Guide, just...

    How much $ per month do you spend on Gaming?

    After all the results have been tabulated, I'm still a bit surprised that my monthly expenditure is a bit on the high side, at least as far as EN world users go.

    Star Wars RPG v3.5 using online tools

    There is no legal way to get the pdf's anymore unfortunately. You can try ebay for supplements, I have seen good prices, and RPG Role Playing Books for Star Wars has some good prices, but no core rule book. I actually am thinking I was brilliant to buy 2 core rule books when it was still...

    Star Wars RPG v3.5 using online tools

    Shortened skill least, skill system much closer to 4e, no "dead" levels for all classes, better class balance, completely rebalanced force use, better starship system, etc At the same time, if RCR is what makes you happy, there's no need to go pay inflated prices for SWSE books. (Though if you...

    Question for players: how much reading is okay before a campaign?

    I'd say a page or 2, probably double spaced or frequent paragraphs.Especially if I don't know the game or setting. I usually get hooked on the concept of the game, not the write up.

    Why do you play RPGs?

    I agree with the sentiment that I don't drink, smoke or do any other recreational drugs, and really like complete detachment from reality for a little while. I really like immersion, and I really like being able to visualize a world. I also really like storytelling (I'm usually the GM in my...

    How many EN Worlders are within 100 miles of you?

    Oh, I agree completely. I am willing to drive for about maybe 30 minutes to my destination, which probably could include someone in Bellingham. Border guards would pitch a fit though. "You went across to spend time with some friends... What kind of friends? What did you do?" ...

    How much $ per month do you spend on Gaming?

    As the title states, how much do you spend (currently, say within the last year or so) on buying gaming products per month? Included are books, dice, pdf, mini's and anything else I have missed. I got curious about this after looking at the size of some people's collections, gaming books can be...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    Well... I believe that is probably colossal. Good chance of it anyhow, and I'm a statistician by profession. So out of curiosity, how much do you spend per month on gaming books?

    How many EN Worlders are within 100 miles of you?

    I wish there was a number with a total, I can't be bothered to count. Looks like 50-60? Within 100 miles is too big of a radius, I'm in Abbotstford BC, and I'm getting people from Victoria, which is 1hr drive+2hr ferry ride+1hr into town. And I get a bunch of folks from Bellingham and Seattle...

    Vanquisher Campaign

    Hey this looks neat. Thanks for sharing. Also, you need to fix the link to the angry dm site, it sends me somewhere weird.

    How big is your RPG collection?

    I think this thread makes it obvious that the RPG industry really makes its money on the collectors.

    How big is your RPG collection?

    I have approximately 140 books. Some of my Exalted and Ars Magica books are currently on loan. I have sold some of my Mage: The Ascension, Vampire: The Masquerade, Stargate: the RPG and my Exalted 1E collection. If I hadn't have sold those, I think my collection would be more on the order of 200...

    Best Practices for running single-player (or two-player) campaigns

    This just isn't a realistic attitude for many people, whether it is a serious scheduling conflicts with an existing group, or that no one games in your area in a (whatever) mile radius that makes gaming impossible. Please read the solo guide I posted. It was primarily written by fellows who...
