Ooh! Shiny!! Are you going to include any new races? From what little I can read on the website it doesn't look like you are creating a psion class, is that right? I'll buy it but you might not want to show your hand before the rerelease of the GSL as WotC's attorneys are likely to write...

My situation is very similar to yours. The only difference is that I have no problem staying awake until midnight. As I tell my wife: I'll sleep when I'm dead. The only time I actually get to play anything (other than computer games) is on the single day a year I actually get to go to a Con. I...

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunatelly I'm not in a game currently so I don't have anything to share. I have been digging through my collection reading up on things ahead of the MMO release in a couple of weeks. I love this game!

I posted this elsewhere but I think it might clarify some questions about this very topic: The return or "Ascension of Amaunator" is mentioned in Power of Faerun released in March of 2006. It begins with a heretic of Lathander who believes in the Risen Sun heresy. It's actually a pretty...

I know a little bit having scanned the first couple issues of Pathfinder a year or so ago. Now I'm curious about the finished product. I know it's 3.5. I'm more interested in the details of the setting itself. How big is it? What races are present? Any new ones? What about classes and...

I bought it yesterday and spend a couple hours with it. Overall I'm a bit dissapointed by how light it is when compared to the 3rd edition book. It is certainly a good introduction for those new to the setting but if you are at all familiar to the setting you will find the high level view...

SleepyKings description upthread is what I needed to hear. Thank you for taking the time to write down your impressions. I'm certain to end up buying the book anyway but at least I know what to expect now.

White. So I can read it at work!

WFR2 is a spot on recommendation. I was actually thinking about that exact game as I was finishing my post. Thanks for reminding me. I already own the entire line. Star Wars is a good comparison. I remember a movie critic (Richard Roeper I think) commenting in his review of Episode 1 how the...

Forgive me if this doesn't make a lot of sense. It's more of a stream of thought without a cogent or wellformed thesis. What do I mean when I say D&D needs to grow up? I'm not talking about the rules. I'm referring to the artwork, fiction and the feel of the game. The game needs to drop the...

I've sold maybe a dozen books from my collection but it was a pain to do so and doubt I'll go that route again. Boxing and shipping is too much trouble to bother with for pennies on the dollar. To answer your question I've decided to keep all the setting material and sell the rest to my local...

Middle Earth: The Wizards. I own the entire collection. Great game but impossible to find others to play with. It's been a very long time so forgive me if I get some details wrong. Ayrk is correct in saying it is a bit complicated. The game includes location cards where your party moves to and...

I'm sure I'm not the first to say so but I'd be surprised if this "delay" or "shortage" of books isn't fictional but instead artificially created by WotC in response to all the talk over the months leading up to the release of the books of people buying them via Amazon as opposed to paying full...

By the way, here is that fan created map I mentioned above: http://www.davesgames.net/cartography/map-details.jpg Inspiring is it not?

So many choices it really boggles the mind. The Iron Kingdoms is perhaps my first choice although I think it would be challenging to convert some of the "tech" to 4th edition. There are some very nice fan created maps for the setting available online. If nothing else I'd try hard to find a...

Wow. Such hate. Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? As an enduser let me state that I know little and care even less about the legal ins and outs of copyrights and such so I won't even attempt to broach that subject. Brasswatchman, thank you for you efforts. I'm downloading it...

I highly recommend Fury of Shadows. It's gorgeous. All about Erethor and how to make a campaign out of it. It also has a bunch of additional material (maps and such) but that's just gravy. Buy it for the setting material, think of the rest as an added bonus. I'm also fond of Hammer and Shadow...

I'm a Certified Financial Planner and Partner at my firm. I've been in the business 15+ years. I make a decent living. Enough to live well in San Francisco. I have 3 degrees. I love RPG's but have no intention of pushing them on my 3 year old son. The stigma and bad stereotypes surrounding...

Guys, come on. We all know it's wrong to download the books. Yes, it's still wrong even if you buy hard copies. Do the people at WotC a favor and don't give in. Don't even try to rationalize it because you can't. It's wrong. End of story.

I have mixed feelings about the setting. For a while now I've felt it lacked any kind of focus, homogeneity or distinctive flavor and as such suffered from "kitchen sink" syndrome which in turn made it chaotic and come off as half-assed. Way, WAY too many cooks in that kitchen. Compare it to the...
