I will be running demos of Castles & Crusades at Chimera Hobbies in Appleton, Wisconsin, from 10:00 to 5:00. Characters will be provided, and you can jump in at any time. Chimera Hobbies 700 W Wisconsin Ave Appleton, WI 54914 (920) 735-1201

To run a Dies the Fire style campaign, you really don't need d20 Modern, as all the "Modern" is gone. Magic is not (yet, apparently) a major active force... no one goes around casting spells, though something seems to happen from time to time whenever a wiccan is involved, especially the...

The Player's Guide was released at Gen Con, IIRC. The 256-page Campaign Setting book was released June 1, according to the Dragonlance website (which, until MWP gets their complete site going, is essentially the MWP site apparently). Here's the blurb from the webstore page for the Campaign...

Going from my Castlemourn Player's Guide, Castlemourn is: 1) A complete setting, in a vein similar to FR and GH. It is a bit smaller, at least what is initially being produced, at least the map in the PG is ~16" by 10" at 100 miles per inch, or 1,600 miles by 1,000 miles, say from Waterdeep in...

What happened here is what we classic players call "PC's Lost Track of the Action." Note in #461 that it appears that the PC's have been arguing all this time, since they got away from the archers in #455. This is typical when the leader of the party is down and out, and you have a party that...

Well, as far as stupid or boring names go, all place names derive from something common and perhaps boring, and eventually seem to be stupid many generations later. "New York," for example, is of course derived from "York" in England. "York" is purportedly derived from "Eboracum," which in turn...

Actually, it's hardly original to Chronicles. Robert E. Howard had a similar escarpment in the Hyborian Realms, the Kothian Escarpment, which ran for a thousand miles or more between Koth and Shem. It figured prominently in the story "Black Colossus," during which Conan and his army must defend...

Dang, I missed that at the show... of course, every time I was at the PSI booth I was either checking out Battlestar Galactica or talking with the guys from Valley Games about the new Titan... Kinda close to what I figured it would be, though without the High Fantasy. Sounds like high...

Hmmm... Looking at the ruins of the modern world, and mixing that with the fact that it is apparently d20 Fantasy and not modern, and adding in the whole Time of Judgment/Gehenna/Apocalypse/Ascension concept, I'm going out on a limb to say that the setting will probably be a post-Magical...

Oh, back in the day during the "Awesome Campaign" (late Middle School era, 1E core three only) our party had, all told: Baba Yaga's Hut (complete with a magical, talking plate that could make any food if you could describe it; it spoke with a terrible French accent, though); Most of the Teeth...

The classic Chaotic Evil "paladin" is, of course, the Anti-Paladin. Long ago I also heard the term "Neferin" applied to anti-paladins... or maybe it was "Nefarian" or "Nepheran." There were the eight other paladin types in "A Plethora of Paladins" by Christopher Wood in Dragon #106. In BECMI...

In other words, how would the demihuman and humanoid cultures evolve, vis a vis human cultures, when the various demihuman and humanoid "core" races (esp. dwarves, elves, gnomes, halflings, kobolds, goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, bugbears, gnolls, ogres, and giants) are found, more or less equally...

Steve, The GAMA Trade Show is all about face time with the retailers. Whatever media you use to contact them today... Comics & Games Retailer, Game Trade Magazine, Gamebuyer, ICv2... all are secondary market contacts at best. Necessary, far more than many will admit, but secondary nonetheless...

There really weren't any big announcements this year. It was a rather quiet, workaday show. The Dragon/Dungeon/Dragonlance announcements hit just before the show, and there was a little buzz about those, but it was subdued. Green Ronin's announcement about A Song of Ice and Fire was the big...

Well, at GTS I spoke with Steve and Chris and decided that I would be at the LGGC this year, come hell or high water. I've missed every LGGC thanks to deadlines, and it looked like things were wide open for me this year... Well, of course, when I get back to work from the show I find out that...

In the era where a man-/dwarf-/whatever-made dungeon was occupied originally, chamber pots would likely have been used in most rooms, then the room furthest along the flow of an underground river would have been the dumping point, taking the effluence away quickly. Criminals and lower-caste folk...

Odds are that divine potions are made in the same magical fonts as holy water, which would mean that they are made on or near the central altar/idol of the temple, or perhaps a side altar/idol with its own font... At least, that's the way it used to be done in 1E and 2E, and there's no real...

This thread is worthless without some good OOTS... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0126.html

His statement is a perfect excuse for technically proficient writers who cannot themselves create, but would rather steal and then mock other people's works while enabling their characters (usually far more competent analogues of the author) to wallow in solipsistic delusions of grandeur. Those...
