I left a link to them in my first post. You can check out their "what's new" link to be sure they have the latest stuff, or just give them a call. And it's Mt. Prospect, and NOT Mt. Pleasant, just to clarify. They have directions to them on their website.

Not all stores support that kind of trading because of the space it would require, and I don't blame them. If WotC doesn't offer a way to let me choose what I want to buy, I'm not going to support their new line. Too bad. I'm sure it might even be a fun game.

Grrrrr! Having to buy a random assortment just sucks no matter how you slice it.

Another vote for Games Plus , especially for their exceptional selection of minis, which includes the much praised Confrontation figures from Rackham, as well as EVERYTHING from Reaper. They also carry Vallejo paints and brushes. And, an entire corner of their store is devoted to Games...

cultural differences? They wouldn't use money for one. They value individuals based on what they are capable of doing, so athletics or contests might be very important for those seeking to gain status and rank. That means their king might be the most athletic individual of their society...

I loved the map of Cauldron, and am already using it in my campaign. I only printed out the one page from the website last week, but they'll be in for a surprise when I bring the fold-out map this week! My campaign is extremely flexible, in that I keep a logbook of ideas and have only three...

Anybody seen a modern lacrosse stick? It's a hockey stick with a small "net" at the end of it. I can see them as perfect for throwing round-shaped grenade weapons and such...hmmmm. No, it's not really a staff sling either. Those things wouldn't have any real range. Wait'll my players see my...

I can throw playing cards. Hard enough to bleed a target! Me and a friend from high school used to hang out at his grandparents' house after school and spend a good 2 hours working up a sweat throwing cards at each other. Our hands would shake after all that--but it probably had something to...

Sometimes on the news when you hear that Palestinian kids are throwing rocks at soldiers, they are often using slings. The weapons can be EXTREMELY accurate, and are just as viable now as they were in ancient times. Nobody I know would volunteer to get hit by one at full force. With a good...

I think a warning from an anonymous telepath might be okay. Even if it is just a few words like, "they're coming for you. Run!" And 30 seconds later the mind flayers are on them. Too blunt? If there were more time, maybe have somebody else from the party (not the psion) become a puppet and...

There are a lot of zen koans that you might be interested in as well. Although taking a shortcut to get the answer will defeat the purpose of them, I'm sure you can find some interesting ones on the internet with a simple search engine. You know, "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" That...

I think judge dredd said it best, "I AM the LAW!" One finds order in everything that the universe is. A place is without laws only when one fails to have the proper perspective of the universe in which they exist. As the universe is reflected everywhere within itself, one needs only to...

i've never been so glad to unsubscribe...from a thread that is. Everybody play nice and go read a magazine or something. :)

Elmore, Parkinson, and Clydewell were all good with women :) Bring'em back, I say! The current portrait-style of covers doesn't inspire me at all. The succubus included. So, is the new trend to immitate covers like Cosmo? Or are we gonna go back to the good stuff and have covers that can...

I have a player in my group that is also in need of a PHB, mostly because he is a wizard and doesn't know what all his spells can do. After informing him of the new books, he seems more than willing to buy my old PHB. Since I'm buying the new ones anyway, I'm giving him half off and selling it...

I'm not offended. I just think it lacks taste. They could do much better if they were going for sexy IMO. :D

For the short version, see my sig. ----------------------------------------- And, now, the long version: Well, all people become desensitized when repeatedly exposed to just about anything. That includes extreme violence and pornography, which, when combined, create a whole lot of issues for...

Sex sells. Everything from blue jeans to ice cream, to, yes, say it with me, Dragon Magazine. Shame on them for preying on our weakness! Thank god that they aren't running the magazine covers for Pokemon!

Here's an alternative cost: instead of lowering the level of the person that is raised from the dead, lower the level of the cleric casting the spell. Now that the price to pay comes from the cleric, the decision will weigh much more heavily, and more realistically, on his shoulders. If you...

Yeah, I'm in agreement with all the responses so far. Now I just have a little more ammo to shoot down my player's ego :) He got kinda pouty after I told him no three different ways. He will still think I'm being unfair (or just dense), but thems the breaks.
