I wish they had info on their site for game stores who want to be involved. I asked one of the local stores if they were going to participate, but they hadn't heard anything about it. While I was able to give them a printout of that web page it didn't really tell them what they needed to do as...

Dragons of Autumn Twilight was the reason I got into D&D. I read it and thought "if the game is half as good as this novel, I wanna play it." So yeah, I hold that whole first trilogy in very high esteem. I seem to be one of the few who thought the second trilogy wasn't quite as good as the...

Mount, which summons a riding horse for 2 hours per caster level isn't really that useful until 4th or 5th level.

Nope, no new Dragon here yet either. I just bought the new Dungeon with the funky orange logo and the first Wil Weaton article in it at Books-A-Million yesterday. I didn't notice whether or not they had the new Dragon as well.

Have you tried booting Windows to Safe Mode and deleting it while in Safe Mode?

I don't know, though obviously the safe answer is "no". Unless your case is too small to house a standard power supply, a new power supply shouldn't cost that much. A quick search on newegg revealed 250-watt P4-compatible power supplies costing betwen $15 and $68. If you're not a DIY computer...

I believe ATI keeps an archive of old driver versions available for download. Though unless you're on XP I think ATI has stopped releasing new driver versions. Something about Microsoft not accepting certifcations for Windows ME any longer. On XP I've only rolled back my drivers once (after...

And of course the new site only works properly in Opera if I make Opera tell the site I'm not using Opera. Sigh, grumble.

My problem with the icons has always been that they are trying to communicate too much information in a single icon. I may be forgetting something but with a single icon the board is trying to tell us: If the thread has new messages If the thread is a "hot" thread If I've posted to the thread...

Nope. Although I rarely get to game there, I'm a very strong Realms fan, and I refuse to support Ebberon out of fear it might supplant the Realms the way the Realms supplanted Greyhawk.

Dunno if there are d20 stats for these or not, but here's a few no one's mentioned which I learned about from an unfortunately out of print book called "An Encyclopedia of Fairies: Hobgoblins, Brownies, Bogies, and Other Supernatural Creatures" by Katherine Briggs (I found my well-used copy...

I have a subscription to Dragon, but admittedly some months I read the cover blurbs and don't even bother to take it out of the wrapper. I've found myself uninspired and often downright disappointed by it for a very long time. Although Dragon does have an annoying habit of putting out one or...

I don't miss the 1e/2e rules, but I miss the atmosphere. I wonder how much of that atmosphere I miss is really about nostalgia though. Were 2e products really as flavor-heavy rules-lite as I remember them, or am I only remembering the good stuff and forgetting the bad? Was I really interested...

I likes me some roleplaying mixed in with my dungeon crawling and baddie bashing, but I would love to play in a game where nothing (except maybe an adventure module) outside the core was used. No house rules, no variant rules, no spells, feats, magic items, mundane equipment, cleric domains...

Thankfully I hadn't heard about any of that stuff when I picked up RoMD for $5 at the grocery store. I gotta say that was the best $5 I ever spent on my computer. I played RoMD almost every day for at least a couple of hours, and it still took me nearly three months to finish that game. I...

Dungeon Seige is fun to play through once, but even if you play it 24/7 for an entire three day weekend you won't finish it in a weekend. It's a little story-lite and dungeon-heavy, but I found it worth my time and money. If you're on broadband and just want to kill time with it for the...

If waiting til the new Basic Set comes out isn't an option, try to track down the introductory set that came out when 3E did. It's got a about a half dozen or so introductory dungeons that are really good for newbies. The first one is only two rooms, and IIRC involves the rescue of a unicorn...

Kind of a bump. I'm in a game now, but would like to join a second one, either D&D 3.x or d20 Modern. Ideally I'm looking for a game that's straight by the core books or very close to it, and meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays in the evening.

Player's Handbook because it's the only style which shows threads with new posts in bold, and I've never been able to figure out the new post icons.

I'd say it depends on what your expectations are. If your artistic ability is on the low end of the scale, you're simply not going to produce the breathtakingly awesome maps that you see in the ads. If you buy it expecting it to make you a greater artist than you are, you'll probably be...
