TSR put out a winterland sourcebook years ago (but after the WSG). I can't remember what it was called but it had a frost giant on the cover and I think it had frost or ice in the name.

They'd be much better off advertising in video game magazines or in game rental stores. That's D&D's competition and that's where they should be targetting their efforts. Plus, they should play up the imagination angle to parents who are growing increasingly tired of having their kids sitting...

Somehow I don't think the writers of the PH (or any of the rulebooks, for that matter) had precise rules of written english in mind when they were writing the stuff. Could harm kill in previous editions? I don't remember. If it could, then let the 3.5 version. If not, then don't. We're not...

I believe the FBI has jurisdiction in any case that involves a federal investigation (i.e. federal charges). In terms of the original post, the FBI would simply have to provide some kind of evidence that they are investigating the person on federal charges (heck, they could probably bluff their...

Yah! Hopefully next week they'll do a US English to Canadian English translation! :p

Back in 2E, I really hated hallucinatory terrain. I remember a druid casting it in an underground setting and all the baddies failed their saves. So I had a bunch of monsters who had never seen trees running around bumping into them, trying to climb them, not being able to see the PCs, etc. It...

Has anyone used them? How did it work out?

I don't think you can equate low-magic campaigns with low-level limits. You can have 20th-lvl characters in a low magic world. Magic items are irrelevant. Seems like you have a beef against low-magic item campaigns. I'm interested in playing to 20th-lvl simply b/c our group has never done it...

And you know what, you probably don't wanna know how the randomization is done. I'm no expert but I wouldn't be surprised if a certain batch of a specific mini was produced and put out in one shot and if you don't find that batch of product, you'll never get that one specific mini (unless you...

Back in the 80s I remember watching a Geraldo episode where some woman was crying about how the dice would "talk" to her and try to get her to do evil things. The best part was when she said she threw the dice in the fire and they screamed in evil, maniacal laughter! Man, that was one of the...

Not gunna happen. Why create pocketbooks when you can produce full-size books with higher profit margins? The name of the game isn't making books cheaper for players; it's maximizing profits. And pocketbooks aren't exactly popular. I've never seen anyone own one.

Maybe there's a whole colony breeding in his basement. Maybe the eggsack is hatching right now. Or maybe it's one of Lolth's avatars. Sweet dreams...

WotC needs to do an explanation series on grappling, just like they did for sneak attacks. They should give step-by-step examples of a variety of monsters and situations. For example, can a dragon grapple with its wings?

Sacrificing someone with a scythe!?! What, are you gunna be standing on the alter? I think it would be comedic (to say the least) watching the evil cult leader trying to slash someone lying on an alter 3-4 feet off the ground with a scythe (unless he's filleting the guy from toe to head like a...

I see no problem with giving the player what he wants (in this situation). I would IMC. If he wants to blow all his feats on hp, fine - it's his character. Let him pick and choose from the hp feats he has now and the Improved Toughness feat (maybe he'll drop one of the old feats and add IT)...

I think randomized packs of minis is an easy way for WotC to get out of having to predict which minis will be popular and which won't. They just have to dump them all together and then buyers have to go to a secondary market to get what they really want. Originally, I was somewhat interested in...

I agree with Caliban. I think Improved Toughness was a way to do away with having to take multiple feats to gain hp.

And real estate could be REALLY cheap in, say, the Abyss or the Hells. Of course, you'd have make your tower much more defensible. Come to think of it, the Ethereal Plane might be really good. IIRC, teleportation spells "touch" the ethereal (or was it astal?) so it would be a good fit. Also, the...

I think you need to ask yourself some tough questions. For instance, how much do your players really want to play? It's been my experience that players that can't be bothered to buy the most basic of books (i.e. the PH) aren't that dedicated to the game. Also, are your players just cheap...

My point is that joe average consumer who flips through both books and finds them equally interesting will be more likely to buy the one with the "nicer" cover.
