I plan on buying a copy. I may have been playing D&D for 20+ years and 3.X for almost 5, but I could always use some help.

Crap! Thanks for the heads-up!

All my encounters with the Forgotten Realms have left me cold. At best it seems like an unnecessary competitor for my attentions: anything I would want to do with it I can do with good ol' Greyhawk. At worst it strikes me as a pile of detritus that has accumulated around Ed Greenwood's Mary...

I think I'm going to play across gender bounds for my next PC. There's some sort of middle ground between lame stereotyping and different-in-name-only PCs. I want to see if I can find that middle ground.

My all-time favorite Dragon article has to be Bruce Seligman's "Gandalf Was Only A Fifth Level Magic-User."

1st edition Barbarians, at least as described in the original Unearthed Arcana, are not allowed to dual-class. At the moment I cannot recall if the original Dragon version contained this same proscription.

While I love BESM d20 and have had at least one superhero idea for it, M&M has the advantage of support, both from the publisher and a variety of thrid parties. The M&M Superlink section at RPGnow is pretty impressive looking.

Clarification: There's plenty of people who play d20 games over on RPG.net. There are people who don't like d20 as well. As a generalist rpg site I think there is room for both side, as long as you keep the most vocal partisans of either side on your ignore list. As a player, I prefer to...

Chaosium produces Call of Cthulhu. BRP is "Basic Role Playing", their game engine. Just as the D20 system is the engine that powers D&D, BRP is the engine that powers CoC and some other Chaosium products. Chaosium is supposed to be release a new product any moment now. IIRC CoC: Dark Age is...

I selected Greyhawk and "An TSR setting currently not published" because I have made extensive use of the Known World of Mystara in the past. My next game might be Arcana Unearthed/The Diamond Throne but I didn't select it since I have yet to use it.

I still like the one dungeon approach to campaign! I started in the summer of '81 with the boxed set (edited by Moldvay, cover by Otus). I was 9 years old.

Back in the day I tried FASA's Star Trek and Doctor Who games, and maybe a session or two of Gamma World. I'm a big Star Frontiers fan, though I only play the ship-to-ship game these days. I played a couple sessions of MechWarrior too. These days Classic Traveller is my sci-fi game of choice...

My only active PC right now is my 3rd level half-elf druid Endrin Greencloak. I intentionally play down his magical abilities and my only animal companion is a wolf. He's a good little puppy wuppy, he is. :) I've concentrated my feat selection towards masters of two-fisted staff-fu. Rather...

The one and only Erol Otus.

I run a earlier incarnation of Greyhawk, escewing much of the later material. Basically I stick to the original boxed set, some of the early modules, and the stuff printed by Gygax in Dragon. The Dragon material I stray from considerably. What other people do with the setting is their...

I admit to labelling FR as "high magic", probably unfairly. I think this stems back to my earliest encounters with the Realms, as the back drop for endless "Pages from the Mages" articles. I think I got the impression that FR was chock full of MU's with customized spellbooks. My own Greyhawk...

Anybody using d20 Mecha from Guardians of Order? What are you doing with it?

FYI there was a great little thread a few months ago on rpg.net about 4th Age adventures. The discussion was started by players of the Decipher game, but it focused on plot ideas rather than mechanics. I'd search for it and post a link, but rpg.net seems to be down again. :sigh: I'll see if...
