    Amazon Canada Where did you see the link on Amazon.ca? I can't seem to find it on the Canadian site.

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    Great job, and a suggestion May I suggest that you provide either in the next verison of the pdf, or as a separate download, a list of all the SRD spells indicating which ones are rotes, restricted and ritual? This would be of great help when writing up a character, and providing a nice, clean...

    Stalker0's Guide to Anti-Grind

    In my game, if you beat a minion's AC by 4+, it's killed. If you beat it by 1-3, it's bloodied. Two hits kills any minion.

    WotC Spring 2009 Catalog

    I seem to recall Spell Decks being sold for 2nd edition ADnD. Does this make 2nd edition Magic as well?

    "Syndrome" Syndrome: or the Fallacy of "Special"

    The Moral of the Incredibles ...is don't wear capes. Which seems to be in line with the 4E art direction. Hence, the movie is a true inspiration for DnD.

    Richard Baker on Orcus and Deity Slaying

    Of course you could kill them - why else would you bother with stats? Then again, if you were hardcore 1E, you would just kill Thor with a Push spell.

    Points of Light approach to setting

    War=POL A sustained conflict can generate a POL setting, even when governments theoretically exist. The most dramatic would be a post-apocalyptic setting - think after the magic ritual nukes are used (such as the Rain of Colourless fire in Greyhawk).But it doesn't even have to be that serious...

    Touch of Madness

    I think it's a typo (aka, a brainfart). The rest of the adventure refers to a "Rastaphon". "Radagast" is only referred to once.

    Dungeons of Dread Preview 3: Templates

    Heavy armor movement rates? The Deathknight has a move of 5 squares (25'), while the vampire has a move of 6 squares (30'). Maybe heavy armor only slows you down 5'/round in the new rules.

    D&D 4E FR 4E SPOILER - Grand Histoy of the Realms info

    To me the whole things very Wagnerian - maybe we can look forward to a FR opera! Anything that makes the deities less of "your ex-adventuring buddies who hit max level" to grander, more remote beings gets my approval.

    Talent Trees & D&D

    I prefer the idea of prestige talents - join the organization, keep your own class and get access to a bunch of new substitute class options.

    Calculating XP for a 21st level character

    As we approach the end of our Age of Worms capaign, some of the players are hitting 21st level. I understand the rules for calculating XP for monsters with a CR of 21+, but I can't figure out the formula when PCs are level 21+. The table in the DMG only goes to 20. For instance, if 4 21st level...

    Gothic 1 and 2: Anyone Play them?

    I played both Gothic I and II and found them to be amongst the best RPGs I ever played (up there with Fallout, BG 2, and Planescape Torment). The controls take some getting use to, and the beginnings are HARD. Combat feels clumsy, but you start completely unskilled. Once you get some levels...

    Sons of Gruumsh (spoiler alert)

    My group ambushed an orc patrol outside the fortress and dressed up in the gear. Only one spoke Orcish so he was forced to do most of the talking. He taught each other character a number of pre-selected phrases (2+Int bonus) that they had to write down in advance. Comedy gold. (The wyvern was...

    Deluxe Gaming Products - Lessons from Ptolus

    Having totally destroyed by copy of City of the Spider Queen through frequent flipping (maps on 1 page, monsters on another, and the enocounter text on a third), I totally prefer the idea of separate books for maps, monsters and module text. (I actually prefer mosnter stat blocks listed inline...

    Help an 7th level Rogue Archer

    There's a real obvious thing you can do - hide first, and snipe. From the SRD: Sniping: If you’ve already successfully hidden at least 10 feet from your target, you can make one ranged attack, then immediately hide again. You take a –20 penalty on your Hide check to conceal yourself after the...
