Probably my favourite method of starting a group together was something I did about 10 years ago. I came up with a story that linked the PCs together when they were young, and then sent them off for training. There were four characters. I wrote up a story showing how they knew each other, and...

Nightfall, I'm sure that Alzius is correct, unfortunately. While the rules will be compliant with 3.5 Core Rules, I don't see how they could publish anything about the XPsiHB until it is part of the SRD. The PSiHB is now part of the SRD, but was not when it was first released. Although I...

Hi, I was wondering what methods people used to help their players build a character background when starting a new campaign or introducing new PCs. For a while now I've been wondering about preparing a set of questions for the players to fill in. eg "Why did you start adventuring?" "Tell me...

A few years ago I was involved with running a game at a convention that involved players switching characters. Now, this wasn't a D&D game, in fact, it had no rules. And the characters were provided with the game. But during the three hours in which it ran each player got to play each...

Doesn't it depend on whether he is an analog copy or a digital copy? Digital copies don't degrade, analog do. Duncan

Actually, it can't be Star Wars, as it says the evil beings are bent on controlling the world, not the universe/galaxy/whatever :-) Duncan

Various light spells could be used to provide suitable growing areas for surface plants - I can see drow with sunglasses for working in these rooms. Duncan

hhmm - I'm not sure I like the idea of mini-cheesecakes dipped in rare steaks... :-)

Well, I loved Tigana. I've read a lot of fantasy over the years, including a lot of crap, and Tigana is amongst the best I've read. I haven't read anything else by Kay (except the Silmarillion which he contributed to), but now I will. Although I don't think I could read too much of him at...

Well, as someone who DMs Living Greyhawk games, but doesn't know a huge amount about Greyhawk, the LGG is severely limited in use because of lack of indices. I would like to see an index of city names, as well as countries (counties, kingdoms, whatever). I've seen people spend too much time...

You know, I visit enworld almost every day. Yesterday I didn't, and I missed the whole furore. Now, I am subscribed to a number of threads at any time, and I get emails from "morrus" about them having been updated. Morrus, I think it would have been a good idea, if possible, to send a message...

no it doesn't - it just started today! oh, that's right - not everyone here is in Australia - just like not everyone is in the US, where, apparently, daylight savings is ending. :-)

Hmmmm... I'm a big fan of Scarred Lands, but I think that 3 monster books is enough! More than enough, actually. So, do I go with my completionist side and buy this, or with my sanity side that says I have more than enough monsters to play with.... Duncan

Actually, you've misunderstood. The article about the guy who claimed to have helped write D&D wasn't written by Jack Chick. It was written by somebody else, who claimed to live near Lake Geneva during the 70s. IIRC that person isn't named, and is therefore un-verifyable. But Jack Chick uses...

Hi Tracer, Do you have a distributor in Australia that I can buy from? Alternatively, do you ship internationally? thanks, Duncan

Fair enough - I wouldn't mind it in another thread - it might get very few posts anyway. It's not like I've thought about it alot in Tigana, but I did wonder about the spell which gave the book it's name. Duncan

Just a little *bump*, and a thought. I'm really enjoying Tigana, but haven't finished it yet. But, as I was reading it, I thought that there were several aspects of the book that I would like to see written in D&D term (not that this doesn't happen to me for every book I read, and many movies...

It has been stated by S&S that the original CC sold out. They had to decide whether to do a print run as is, or with revisions. Then 3.5 was announced, so they decided to kill two birds with one stone - a revised, 3.5 compatible version of it. HTH Duncan

Just a little *bump* for the topic, and a question. Has the next selector been announced yet? Thanks, Duncan

Hi, I avoided this thread till I finished DragonDoom, so I've just read all the other comments now to catch up. I enjoyed the book overall, but I don't expect to bother with the author again anytime soon. As many others have said, I too found it slow going in the beginning - trying to find...
