    New Core Rulebooks Every Year - A Mistake

    I think it would be a good idea. The main 3 core books have their brand identity. It's much stronger to release a book with new races, spells, and classes related goods in the strongest brand name. PHB is stronger that any splat book series name you're going to come up with, like the Complete...

    Changes to Devils and Demons

    These changes sound fine to me. I really thought the current background for devils and demons was awful. I just wish they'd use the name daemons for the third batch of them.

    Subscribing to D&D Insider

    Though I am sure any good crunchy stuff, like a new class or ability, will quickly make it to other "free" ways to get a hold of it. It is the net.

    Subscribing to D&D Insider

    Does it have a URL yet? Just $10/mo, huh? Yeah maybe. I have a job. $10 every month is not much. It's not like saving $10 is going to make my mortgage go faster. ;-)

    Classes: In and Out?

    Should be interesting to see what they give us for classes. That's a big thing that I find directly gives each edition its feel. I would rather they drop PrCs. If kept, then they'd be a 5 levels type class. The class tree idea, like in SWSE, could be neat. Yes within a month there will be 1000...

    I got Monte Cook's World of Darkness

    That sounds pretty stupid. Of all the premises that could of been used. This one sounds dumb (though Tom Cruise might be into its premise.)

    Give me some pirate ideas to steal!

    OK here's a pirate idea *I* just thought up just for you. The PCs are young sailors. Their captain has promised them their own boat. So they go to an used boat lot. There the old seadog boat salesman tells them "how it's the boat whom chooses its sailors". And they find an old beaten up boat...

    Does D&D even have a component of "midieval" anymore?

    > Does D&D even have a component of "midieval" anymore? Did you mean, does D&D have much of a Euro-centric feel to it? Unfortunately no.

    Too much incentive to stay dead

    I know what you mean. I tend to use Negative Levels instead of the level lost rule. Much easier when you are a DM and your player's PC is now weaker on you and your planned EL's. I've been thinking though. Maybe a simple XP penalty is all that is needed instead of the Neg. level. Like, you now...

    Ex. to Ravenloft question

    I'm going to be a player in it. So no need to answer more than I ask (and I'm asking for my DM). At what chapters, and when in them, do characters normally gain a level. This adventure isn't part of a campaign. The DM would rather just level up us than worry about handing out XP (we have 6...

    Game Hybrids That Should Not Be

    X-Men AD&D I tried it once when I was a teen. Having mutant characters was just a dumb idea. Oh boy, you have claws, you do d4 with the. And you, you can change your skin into platemail. Became very useless after 1st level.

    Low Magic Campaigns?

    Using 3e books Could just use your current 3e books and limit magic to a certain level (for mortals), like 5th, for example. So classes that are magic using might only go to "x" level, or you could say, first "x" levels have to be of another class first. Or go a full 20 lvls but the higher...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Wow. Reading page 3's Gary responses from his response of my Canadian Maple Leaf post to Gord. I haven't been this surprise about AD&D's roots since Gary said he wasn't a LotR fan. And not so much D&D is based on LotR. I didn't realize D&D didn't base itself on Christian beliefs. Hindu, huh...

    Going to London... advice?

    Oh geez.. you are far from the action. Plan ahead or you'll spend your days traveling from tube to another. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/images/general/mapt-tube-standard-colourmap.gif...

    Going to London... advice?

    I've been to London 5 times. Love the city. It's the type of city you'll find something you'll like and never feel the need to venture outside of the city to visit tourist places. London is expensive. Aside from what your hotel offers for meals. Grocery stores and pubs are a cheap place to get...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Looking at Solar Symbols at Wiki. The Canadian flag looks similar to the 8 pointed star. Makes me wonder if that's what it's suppose to be. 8 pointed star http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_symbols Maple leaf flag http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_leaf_flag

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    What exactly is Theosophy all about? I'm reading it on Wiki but that's not helping. I'm curious to know because when my grandmother died years ago. In her book collection I found a very old bible like book with the emblem of the Theosophical Society symbol on it. The symbol has the Nazi symbol...

    Enlarged spiked chain

    If a cleric using a spiked chain (w/ its 10' reach), enlarged himself, by spell. Would the spiked chain have a 20' reach?
