Sad News. It still isn't listed on IMDB. I was just showing someone my collection of B5 autographs on the 21st, which includes Richard's. Duncan

thanks all. I'll check the relevant section of the DMG. Seravin, you are right that Verbobonc isn't far away - especially since the mage reached 9th level and got Teleport :-) I'm not quite sure why this was moved to rules, as I asked for suggestions on how DMs here would handle it, rather...

Hi, Just after some suggestions. I'm running a group through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (RttToEE). When we started we were in 3.0. Now I'm running using the 3.5 rules. One player (his character a goblin after re-incarnation) has complained that magic armour and weapons are not...

Well, I don't know the US prices off hand to know whether it comes under your limit, but I would say that R&RII is probably the most linked to the planes. It's not as much scarred lands focused as other books, but it does give more information about the astrology and so on, which I hope would...

Amistead Maupin Tales of the City doesn't read the best, because it was written as a serial in the newspaper (one column a day). But I read a new one of his a couple of years ago (the night listener IIRC), which had me nearly in tears for much of the book. Anyway, one fantasy author who...

I have these comments on my DVD copy of Pulp Fiction, in the Deleted Scenes section. He mentions that he deleted them for a reason, and that he would only release the film he wanted and never a director's cut. I found the comment not so much naive and condescending and rude. It definately...

I'm currently running my players through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. It's been a tough, long slog. I think we're about two thirds of the way through now. I started running longer sessions about six weeks ago when we restarted after a long break due to the christmas period, and...

On the topic of how hit points are rolled, my players are allowed to chose to reroll on a lower dice. Eg, fighter rolls a 4 on a D10. He then chooses to reroll on a D8. Then D6, D4 and D3. It seems to work for us. Duncan

Back when I was in my final year of high school there was a group of first years playing AD&D. I noticed their characters had absurdly high hit points. When I questioned them about this they told me that the in the DMG it was written that when you killed a monster you got it's hitpoints. They...

Well, I'm a bit washed out after a long weekend here. On Friday night I ran a single session Living Greyhawk (LG) game that took about 5 hours to complete. Saturday I attended our local monthly games day, where I DMed two 4-hour LG games. Sunday I ran my regular Return to the Temple of...

I'm sure there was something very similiar to this in the Psionic Handbook. Can't remember what it was, but we knew it was in a list twice as a joke.

Hi, I've been trying different type of counters for a while now, and none of them have really pleased me. I'm not interested in minis - I think that using a non-representative figure is worse than not having one. I've tried counter collection, and that's got the same problem as minis, plus...

Hi, I'm in the market for a new printer. And I want to make sure that whatever I get can print on Index cards that I use for initiatives, etc. I use 3"x5" cards. I'm not really interested in colour, but wouldn't turn it down. Speed of printing isn't a huge issue either. It would be good...

My understanding is that this is a rewording of a quote from (former British Prime Minister) Margaret Thatcher when she was having lunch with her Cabinet Ministers. Thatcher to waiter : "I'll have the roast." waiter to Thatcher : "And the vegetables?" Thatcher to waiter : "They'll have the...

I'm currently reading the newest from my favourite author (not counting Tolkien, as he's just in a different category), The Swords of Night and Day by David Gemmell. I read the first novel he published twenty years ago when it first came out (Legend, but called something else in the US), and I...

Gary, I wanted to add my (virtual) voice to the chorus of good wishes. But also I wanted to let you know about my own sleep apnea. I was diagnosed about 3.5 years ago with it (the sleep study was annoying), and at quite a high rate. I hired a machine, but whenever I put on the mask I would...

Maybe if enough people bash other products and bad writing on the WotC boards then other forums would be closed. Imagine that if people complained loud enough about errata they would close down forums about the core books :-) Looks like the authors need a thicker skin, and WotC needs tougher...

I just wanted to drop in a note of thanks to all involved for this year's April Fools edition. As a long time reader of this site (and it's predecessor), I've always enjoyed the 1st of April / 32nd of March editions, and wanted to let you know your work is appreciated. As an Australian, I'm...

I would recommend that you see if you can find some nearby RPGA events and DM at them before the cons, thus getting some experience with their systems. There is a LOT of paperwork in LG. Duncan
