You know the first two are two different covers for the exact same book, right? In any case, I've got all the 3.5 ones, probably about two thirds of the 2E appendixes (totalling across both the binder and softcover formats) plus the Monstrous Manual, and the 3 first edition ones. Also a...

Sorry if the semi-necro bothers anyone, but there's a fairly obvious way to do this exact thing quite easily; use an image of a clock face as a template.

Here's the comment I just posted under that review: Intentionally or not, your review methodology is very tilted in Paizo's favour. You didn't expose these players to the difference that is perhaps most important to a real-world purchase decision - price. Your language can also be read as...

I think I mostly use PH, though it's not something I've ever given much thought until now. It may depend on whether it's being mentioned in the same breath as the DMG or not.

Even for D&D, not having Mystara - my favorite official D&D setting - listed is a bit of a problem. (Or the Known World - most people don't distinguish between the two, if you do or even were aware that some people do, you're pretty old-school!) Of the settings I'd be likeliest to use, only...

You're obviously at least somewhat old-school, so TSR's old Marvel Super Heroes game from the 80s sounds like the way to go. The rules are more or less complete in 16 pages, everything else is implementation details, and it's all based on one very visually appealing chart. (I say this as a DC...

Let's fill in or correct some wild magic table entries, from the larger scan: 05 - 06 A modron chosen and controlled by the DM appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, then disappears 1 minute later. 09 - 10 You cast magic missile as a 5th level spell. 17 - 18 You grow a long...

In Fantasy Infinity, I'm using something like this. In my system, there is a (fairly abstract, compared to 3rd and 4th generation D&D) "battle board" everyone is assumed to be sitting around anyway, though the playtest version is actually a magnetic whiteboard that tends to be propped up next to...

Based on my own inquiries, twelve for a boxed set is as crazy as two, just in the opposite direction. (My own inquiries concerned a boxed set in a generally Eurogamish style, though it was for an RPG, not a boardgame.) Of course, I was talking about significantly shorter print runs than WotC...

This looks fun, even though it seems only tangentially related to the thread. (As an aside, it seems to me this is a more useful exercise if you're planning on running 13th Age or The Pool than any flavour of D&D, though it might be somewhat useful for Next or for 1E with secondary skills.) In...

Even if they were to implement the basic suggestion of this thread - i.e. do several RPG lines instead of just D&D, using some of the resources that would otherwise go to D&D splatbooks - this is the single thing they are LEAST likely to do. They already have a medieval fantasy RPG that uses the...

Most if not all of the O.L.D. artwork was originally done for the War of the Burning Sky online game (that seems to have become vaporware). And I think some of the N.E.W. work has its origins in that space combat game Morrus did - I've definitely seen some of it before, anyway. Everything in the...

Surprised that you got such negative reactions to that earlier draft, HR. I for one would be interested in seeing it. Maybe those folks were conflating "useful as a handout in its own right" (which I readily concede the spell list part is) with "appropriate for a character sheet"? Or, my...

I think a character sheet should never, never, assume that every campaign uses all and only the default skills, spells, classes or feats. The spell list might be a useful handout in its own right but I don't think it's appropriate for a character sheet specifically. I'd rather have space to fill...

I'm not guessing here. My previous post is based on actual quotes from Chinese printers, and for much smaller volumes than WotC would be getting.

Well, of course they publish in the US, for certain senses of "publish". I assume you mean "print". And I'm pretty sure they do that in China, or some products in the US (or Canada) and some in China. But I can only assume the estimates for printing time I've seen in this thread ARE for...

The latest Order of the Stick is up. Basically more back-and-forth momentum shifting in the fight with Tarquin and friends.

"Different to" is British, and not universally accepted even there. "Different than" is US. Both, especially the latter, are generally considered fairly informal, with "different from" preferred in formal contexts on both sides of the Atlantic.

I used to sig ones I noticed a lot on other posts here. Some that I remember doing that with or at least being tempted to: Saying "loose" (the opposite of "tight") when you obviously mean "lose" (the opposite of "win" or "gain"). Just one of the many editing problems that made me stop trying to...

I'm not denying that it's the official story. I'm saying the official story probably isn't accurate, or at the very least, that to the extent that it is, that reflects poorly on WotC.
