That's . . . that's BRILLIANT! Why didn't *I* think of that?!! *digs furiously in his box of old video games until he comes up with the Baldur's Gate Soundtrack* Yes! YES!

I understand that with 3.5 RAW, this feat can be unbalancing, with the druid being able to fill the fighter role while still being an awesome spellcaster. I notice that it's not included in Trailblazer, even though many other unchanged feats (like Armor Proficiency) are. But it's not listed...

I'm going to be starting the (3.5) War of the Burning Sky campaign soon, and I'm looking for help for music recommendations. I'm not really a big music buff, but some of my players are, and I'm hoping to help immersion. I was thinking a good theme song for the campaign might be Dragonforce's...

Oh, let me clarify - when I said "should," I meant it descriptively, not prescriptively. That is, I meant, "I expect playtest to bear out the results of this rule change [i.e., Blocking Move] thusly," not, "the rules should be changed to bring about this goal." And yes, I expect fighters to be...

Thank you for your (very helpful) feedback! Okay, let me clarify my experiences and how I understand "tank." A "tank" is a guard or bodyguard, someone who protects a weaker person by physically intervening between them and a threat. Another definition of "tank," I guess, is "tough...

First: I just picked up Trailblazer over the GM's Day Sale, and I'm really impressed! It's gotten me re-interested in 3.x roleplaying. Now, I like the Trailblazer Fighter, but I want a little more of the 4e fighter's ability to tank mixed in. Basically, I'm keeping the Trailblazer Fighter...

I love how it never crosses O'Chul's mind to leave V behind. V went back for O'Chul, true, but V was invisible at the time. O'Chul is awesome.

Where's this going? Prediction: Vaarsuvius is imprisoned next to O-Chuul. She sees the folly of her arrogance and the worthlessness of arcane magic and becomes a cleric of O-Chuul's religion. They make an escape with the Monster in the Dark, and V eventually becomes a Mystic Theurge...

You might want to check out point #7 on your license agreement: "7.The contract arising out of this agreement is governed by the laws and courts of the State of New South Whales and Australia." Perhaps you mean New South Wales? But I've downloaded it, and it's pretty awesome! -Ragnar

Ron Perlman. You know, Hellboy. He did the intro on all the Fallout games. Several other notable actors provided voice talents for the series, as well.

My Amazon preorder shipped at 2:27 AM on May 16 via UPS. I had Super Saver Shipping, and my estimated arrival date is May 28 (!) Here's hoping it'll be here on my birthday (the 20th) . . . Ragnar

GURPS Illuminati was incredible.

For real. I was just sitting there, and then suddenly, CRUNCHCRUMBLEBLAM! It was one of those cheap Wal-Mart particleboard bookcases, but had held up for over six months, so I thought it was good. It was completely full – it held my entire RPG collection, and only my RPG collection. I had...

The solo adventure for GURPS Horseclans (Bili the Axe: Up Harzburk!) was recalled by SJ Games because the numbered entries were all screwed up. Ragnar

Remember that the way it's described, it'll use a FEAT to "multiclass." And the non-multiclass feats, we have been told, are "general bonuses," not powers, which are pretty much reserved for class abilities. This means that you can't become a useless character by being a "balanced" (read...

Lost City of Barakus. Incredible. I ran it for a full year (including summer), and it had so many memorable moments - assaulting the wizard's tower, cutting a cursed ring of teleportation off an unconscious ally's hand so the party could escape the drow, starting a tavern in Endhome, right on...

The "(semi-)subscription model" is my name for what I've observed companies do, not something WotC has declared it will do. On the other hand, we've known for some time that they'll put out a new PHB, DMG, and MM each year. With the podcast last night, it also came out that they were saving...

By putting out a new PHB, MM, and DMG each year, and designating them "Core," WotC is attempting to move from a production-based economic model towards a (semi-)subscription-based economic model. This is a proven business model – ever heard of "planned obsolescence?" Companies don't just want...

I've been VERY positive on 4E so far, but this is the first 4E preview that hasn't sounded good to me. Feywild: Why do we need a place that's "just like the real world, only here, there's less civilization and an eladrin's tower?" I thought the "points of light" concept meant there was less...

Bows are a natural fit for rangers, more natural than swords. Why? Rangers are hunters - tracking, survival, etc. You don't hunt deer (or anything else) with swords. You hunt with bows. Swords are of virtually no use on a camping or hunting trip - only for pitched battle. It doesn't make...
