I'll be there along with whole bunch of friends from the London D&D Meetup! :cool: Jonny, I'm hoping to buy a copy of your book while I'm there. See you at Dragonmeet, Zander

I strongly suspect that this EN World member EN World D&D / RPG News - View Profile: egilsdorf knows about it. What makes me think so? Because he wrote it! :p I'm reading it myself at the moment. It's fun to read in a book about places you've been to such as the Eagle & Child pub in Oxford, UK...

Hello, darjr, I share your addiction. I'm such a weird dice junkie, I even design my own dice and have them made! :p Here's a thread about a fair d17, d18 and d19 from my collection: http://www.enworld.org/forum/off-topic-forum-currently-named-hapax-legomenon/260107-d17-d18-d19-real.html...

Hello, Ethan, I was planning on buying your book even before I saw your post. I'm going to get it in November which is when it's released here in the UK. Any chance that you'll be in the UK at some point? There's Dragonmeet, the country's biggest RPG convention, at the end of November -...

Hello, Crothian, I'm not sure whether Jason is OK with me revealing how much he charged me so I'm afraid I can't answer. Apologies about that. All I can say is that they weren't cheap but they weren't outrageously expensive either. Z

Fellow alealogists (dice enthusiasts) might be interested in seeing a pic of three fair dice I recently added to my collection: a d17, d18 and d19. The d17 and d19 were co-invented by Jason Huff and myself, and expertly made by Jason. The d18 was also made by him. I now have a set of fair...

Tallarn & Heselbine, It was good to see you both. Hope you enjoyed Dragonmeet as much as I did. Johnny, Thank you for autographing my copy of Slayers' Guide to GMs as well as pointing out that the cover artist was there too. Best wishes to all three of you, Z

I'll be there. B-) I'm the organiser of the London D&D Meetup. The Meetup was held at Dragonmeet last year and the year before that. We're meeting again this year. There should be about 20 gamers from the Meetup. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tallarn, Will your brother be there? He ran a really cool 4E...

There's a story about traditional vs Insider D&D on the BBC News web site: BBC NEWS | Technology | How to put the 'e' in D&D It's in two parts, a video clip shot at UK GenCon and an article, both at the link above. I'm quoted in the article.

Apologies if this has been addressed before but there appears to be a glaring anomaly in the magic item creation rules. The ritual that allows you to enchant an item has as its cost in components the price of the item to be created. If the item costs as much to create as to buy, why not just buy...

In response to my question about The Guide's availability in the UK, Joe B. said: Well, three days after its UK release, Orcs Nest, central London's only dedicated RPG shop, had sold out. By the end of day 5 after release, there were only two copies left for sale in central London shops - and...

Ari, Thanks for the super speedy reply and for pointing Joe Browning this way. :) If it makes any difference, I'm pretty sure that it will sell like hotcakes in the UK. I'm the organiser of one of the largest D&D clubs in the country (we have c. 200 members), and that's the consensus so far...

Ari, I'm really looking forward to this book. To my mind, it fills gaps that should never have been left vacant in the PHB in the first place. Questions: 1. When will the hard copy version be available in the UK? {Gollum voice}We wants it now, Precious!{/Gollum voice} 2. Will a compiled...

A die needn't have faces that are the same and angles bewtween them the same to be fair. The D-Total (and a conventional d10) has faces that are the same and angles that are too. So there isn't any problem at all about fairness. With regards to d10s, I believe this has been demonstrated...

Nope. Official instructions how to read a d4 from 1981: http://www.dicecollector.com/MINT16_TSR_DRAGON_DICE_RED_01.jpg

I thought about that but... 1) the mould for creating the d24 already existed which saved hugely on cost, 2) a 60-sided die could be used for d3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30 without re-rolls but you would need to re-roll it for d8, and 3) it would have to be pretty big to be readable -...

Great! You'll have no trouble at all using the D-Total. It was a really cool game you ran. I'm glad I got to use it for the first time at my first Living FR game. ;) I have to say though, that because it was available in the US for a few weeks before I received it myself, it's likely to...

I didn't design it that way - that's just how Lou Zocchi makes them. But I happen to believe that its light weight is a plus. I have tons of stuff to take to my D&D game and I'm grateful for anything that cuts down the weight without sacrificing functionality. Yes. I wanted to design it so it...

I have invented a die that combines the functions of a d3, d4, d6, d8, d12 and d24. With some re-rolls, you can also use it as a d5, d7, d10 and d20. It is made by Gamescience. The die was first sold at Gen Con Indy last month. I understand they sold out and that more are being produced...
