What about the starship combat rules? I hear that ships are treated as big characters. That sounds a bit simplistic to me and not as tactical I'd like. Is it fun? Does it work?

I don't fit the mold at all. You wouldn't imagine the brouhaha when I made the mistake of having Amazon ship my gaming materials to my office. The office manager opened the package and my assistant handed the materials to me. Soon after the entire office was at my door with perplexed looks on...

Defend Ron Spencer? No. Sorry, can't do it. Never been a fan myself. I do know that he has his backers specially among the Werewolf: the Apocalypse fans. I guess he's liked for his depictions of blood and gore. I think it's all garbage but what do I know.

QFT. I couldn't of put it better myself. Looking at that Elmore painting makes me roll my eyes with boredom. That dragon is actually completely uninspiring. His head is out of proportion to the rest of it's body. The bare thigh is also a signature mark of Elmore and always make me think he is in...

You make a compelling argument and I'm 110% with you on the Elmore & Easley remarks. It's interesting to note how much art has evolved in the last 10 years. That illustration of the 1st edition Paladin in Hell is probably more like 20+ years old by now. I don't think anyone is looking to...

I never loved the spiky look of the first 3rd edition books but I didn't hate it as much as many others did. I believe the style was quickly and dramatically toned down in follow-up books. I'm hot and cold on the individual artists. There are a few very good ones (Wayne Reynolds, Raven Mimura...

If you don't know about NeoExodus you can find out more about it here. I'm thinking about buying it but I'm curious to see if anyone here has it and if so what you think about it. The artwork certainly looks interesting but I know next to nothing of the setting itself. Anyone? Do we know if it...

I'm waiting for confirmation but AEG is hoping to release Emerald Empire for Legend of the Five Rings in August. To me that says GenCon. Paragons Campaign Setting for Mutants & Masterminds will be released at GenCon. I think they are also releasing the first adventure for the setting A More...

I am. I've read eight or so of the Eberron novels and in the end found them to be wanting. Not necessarily because they are bad but because I fail to see their relevance in the setting. One of the authors (I think it was Keith Baker) said that at the end of each and every novel all the "toys"...

From Dungeon the only AP that really stands out to me is Age of Worms. Shackled City was a bit jarring in parts and I'm really not that interested in pirates so Savage Tides doesn't hold my attention although recent segments have dropped the Pirate theme a bit. I think that Cormyr: The...

Since January: Worlds Largest City Fiendish Codex II: Tyrants of the Nine Hells World of Darkness: Mysterious Places Midnight, Second Edition Midnight: Fury of Shadow [Box set] Midnight: Hammer and Shadow Secrets of Sarlona Magic Item Compendium Gurps Ultra-tech Cormyr: The Tearing of the...

Please let us know what you think. The products sure look interesting and I'd like to read a review before putting down the money.

Some interesting ideas although I can do without the stats to the cartoon characters, I always thought it to be much to infantile. I also grew tired of Elmore (and Easley) long, LONG ago. Walks down memory lane? Save it for the editorial page. Speaking as someone who has every single issue of...

Option bloat is a bit of an oxymoron isn't it? That said I understand where the original poster is coming from and certainly sympathize with what he's trying to say although my position on the subject has changed (and is continuing to change) as it becomes more of a discussion topic on this and...

Obviously there is no shortage of cities described in various supplements although I don't know of any supplement with collections of cities other than Seven Cities. I do own Seven Civilizations and I like it a lot but it's not what you are looking for. I second the recommendation for Privateer...

I'm wondering now that WotC has a miniatures game devoted to it and Wizkids has cardboard minis that might serve just as well. Did they keep the rules from the RCR (I doubt it) or did they do something else?

Can someone point me to the 1.0 to 2.0 conversions Morgenstern made? If I remember correctly they included psionics didn't they?

I'm with you. Of course it helps that there is absolutely nothing appealing on the horizon. that and a sneaking suspicion 4th edition is little over a year away. Just a guess people. No need to groan and moan. I'm also with you about AOO. I don't think they are difficult to understand, I just...

I'd say yes if for no other reason than the fact that it's a fictional world with magic. Anything is possible. On a related note you might want to check out the Planet Earth episode that deals with Caves. Amazing visuals. There is also a very interesting segment where they show a partially...

I would have picked Advanced Bestiary if it was on the list but I understand it's not technically a monster book since it only provides templates. I've also heard that the Book of Templates 3.5 is even better but I don't own it so I can't say. From your list I went with the Book of Fiends...
