    D&D Cosmology: the old and the new. Where do you stand?

    In the past I've used the Great Wheel, but it never sat well with me. So in my new homebrew I've thrown the wheel out and am developing my own. As my homebrew is something that I'm building as needed much of it will remain a vague cloud. Right now I have two "solid" planes", Angraza - AKA the...

    Okay, D&D 3.5 grognards . . . are you *glad* your game is out of print?

    This got me to thinking and I have to say that there is something relaxing about the fact that there will be a severe reduction in 3.5 material - I know there may be 3rd parties out there that keep the flow at a trickle and that will be appreciated. I look back on my early years of D&D. At the...

    D&D 4E Is 4E winning you or losing you?

    I wasn't terribly thrilled about 4e and while some of the stuff coming out is intriguing, I remain a firm 3.5 supporter. I'll admit that I'll likely use things out of 4e - I particularly like the "campaign world" that they are hinting at - though it will all likely be converted (if needed) back...

    Edith Hamilton on D&D Settings

    I like "points of light" though I always seem to develop my campaigns in the "greco-roman" fashion.

    Old books used in the new game

    While I'm getting rid of most of my stuff (see what remains at the Ebay link in my sig), I couldn't bring myself to give up my old modules. I don't know if I'll ever use them again, but Keep on the Borderlands, A1-4 (slavers), Giants, Saltmarsh all have a special place in my heart.

    Do You Have A Campaign Website? Do You Use It?

    I have one for my current home brew, Vetus (see sig). It's really just in the starting stages, but I intend to make regular use of it as the world develops. I think the aspect that will get the most use is my campaign blog. The previous home brew, Terra Viejo, also has a home page (lovingly...

    How do you like deities that were once mortals?

    In my campaign I have 3 categories, Elder Gods, Gods and Incarnates. Mortals are never going to ascend to the Elder God and God states, that's just the way it is. My Incarnates aren't quite gods, but are more powerful than standard outer plane beings. Orcus, Grazzt and Demogorgon would fit...

    I have got a 3.5 game to run!

    I'm starting a 3.5 campaign tonight. In fact, it's going to be the first Adventure Path I've run - Age of Worms. 3.5 is far from dead, my campaigns are going to last well beyond the release of 4e.

    Subscribing to D&D Insider

    My thoughts exactly. In fact I pulled out all my 1e stuff and placed in on my gaming shelf, I think I may have to start reading through it just as a refresher. As for DI, I'm not subscribing, $120 a year is a bit steep for me - it isn't porn people ;) . I've got KQ, which I am quite happy...

    What's left of 3e that you want to buy?

    I think I'm done with WotC purchases, just picked up Dungeonscape & Complete Scoundrel. I want to pick up Iron Heroes and maybe the Iron Heroes Players Companion, I've got a huge chunk of money coming from Paizo, so I'll likely get those there. Beyond that I'm pretty much done filling out my...

    D&D 4E I'm NOT upset about 4E

    Amen Brother! I could care less about 4E, I'm not buying but that's my choice. I'm not particularly uspet about 4E, I knew it was coming and after seeing the 2008 WotC release schedule a few weeks back I suspected something was up. It's just business, and I'm not going to get upset about...

    Are you a 3.5e grognard? Post here!

    I shall be a Grognard. I may steal bits and pieces from 4E (SRD only), but I seriously doubt I'll lay out cash for it anytime soon. Besides, there is so much to choose from right now, why worry about upgrading. 3E brought us some great product & rules, True20 anyone. I'll think I'll be happy...

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    As it stands now, I will not likely be buying it. I've been slowly trying to ease off my WotC purchases for the past few months anyhow, now it looks like it's time to just cut the cord and go cold turkey. I have far too large of an investment in 3E to really have any desire to start over. As...

    Homebrewers: How Publishable is Your Brew?

    Thanks, it sort of evolved that way. I started throwing out ideas I have been wanting to implement into a homebrew and this is what happened. It immediately struck me as a "discovering a new world" sort of setting, very much like early colonial North & South America, in fact the Halflings of...

    Do You Use Different Languages In Your Campaign?

    I've always hated the idea of a "common" tongue and so I've done away with it in my homebrew. I've also adjusted the Speak Language skill as well, big thanks to a fellow player that came up with this. Admittedly I haven't playtested this yet, that's coming in the next campaign, but it seems to...

    Is WoTC even relevant to you anymore?

    I haven't purchased any mini's, though the dragons have sorely tempted me. As for anything else from WotC, I'm not terribly concerned with what they put out. I still pay attention to them, just in case they do come out with something that I may find interesting, but for the most part I've cut...

    Homebrewers: How Publishable is Your Brew?

    The previous homebrew, developed with TerraDave, was considerably more publishable than the homebrew I'm currently working on. I voted based on my current state, as I'm no longer developing on the previous world. Realistically it was probably ready to publish, if you are curious it's here -...
