My limited edition little red-and-blue Torg die is feared by gaming groups the world over. Rolls whatever I want, right when I need it to. Very spooky indeed.

Great stuff. It's the Mage game set in the Renaissance era. I seem to recall that the magic system is not as well fleshed-out as in the modern Mage core book (Mage:SC is derived from Mage 2e rules) but the setting material is wonderfully evocative. Plus its big and purple. What more could...

Anything with two giant killer squid monsters gets my vote! Mesonychoteuthis is alive and well and living near Saragar!

I received another copy of #323 instead of #324! I wrote to customer service at Paizo a couple of days ago but have still received no reply. Not happy. Bad Paizo. Bad.

The storm has a name!!! Compiled edition apparently due out later this year and a new edition next year. All other games wish that they were this cool.

What about the Mongoose's Pocket Player's Handbook? That's OGL (not d20), isn't it? It has character generation methods and the xp chart.

I heard that this was because the standard D&D XP chart thingy wasn't OGL when Arcana Unearthed was released (although it is OGL now). Dunno how true this is, though...

Er, oh dear. Yes. Yes indeed. The Hand and Eye of Vecna and the Sword of Kas, of course. Nobody wanted to so much as touch the Hand/Eye, but the Sword of Kas (being intelligent and telepathic and with a monstrous ego score) managed to tun the characters against each other in very short...

I liked the three sample tracks. They were far superior to the bad synth-pomp of the Midnight Syndicate cd. The Eberron music is good quality and generic enough to apply to any game. It also has interesting themes and melodies playing through it and doesn't feel like bland filler. I am...

Nah, me neither. Although I did play a couple of games of "Star of the Guardians" with Margaret Weis when her booth was next to ours at a local Con. She very graciously let me win the first game, signed a few cards for me, and then proceeded to thrash me with the kind of authoritative mastery...

When starting a new character, I have always taken the idea that a 1st level character would be of a similar age to someone starting out in the real world today. Depending on the character, this has ranged from 17 to about 22. I can't think of anyone who started out older than that (talking...

You mean adventurers? The final seven years of an 18-year monster homebrew that I ran were dominated by an "adventuring party" who called themselves Tsunami. They formed out of the remnants of two or three other groups and set themselves up as counter-revolutionaries, operating against a...

1. Sit back and laugh long and bitterly at how puerile and ego-driven our beloved hobby has become. Wallow in secure knowledge that I am of course far above such petty behaviour and would never behave in such a foolish way in public, oh no. 2. Comment on how this would never have happened back...

Awesome thread :D From the preceding pages I have learned that the following may or may not be true: 1. North Americans are way smellier than South Americans. 2. Some folks would be a lot happier if we put all the wiffy wierdos on an island somewhere and forgot all about them. 3. The booth...

Thanks for the prompt feedback, Monte - you are the Diamond Throne's own diamond geezer :) All the way up to 2006 you say, eh? In that case, I would say that you have just sold me a copy of your fine work with your tricksy ways. And probably an updated BoHM1 as well too, you wily dog, you...

I would definitely buy a hardback that compiled and updated an old campaign setting - the larger the better. I'd be really interested in seeing Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer and Mystara get a hardback each. Oh, go on, and Greyhawk as well, I suppose...

BoHM1 was a great book that brought depth and flavour to divine casters so I was really looking forward to the second one. But inbetween the release of the two I bought Complete Book of Eldritch Might (also gobsmackingly awesome) and it occurred to me that the Hallowed Might series would...

My cousin had this book - I remember reading it a few years back. It was a breeze to read and was a pretty inspirational read. I recall one chapter where Gary casually trots out a simple 2d6 system to illustrate a point he was making. That little, one-paragraph system could do just about...

Voadam seeks to deceive you for nefarious ends. 'Ware his words, for they are false! The adventure is called From the Shadows and has a sequel called Roots of Evil. They are not railroady at all. Well, not unless you consider unavoidable beheadings, geas spells and silly NPC vs NPC standoffs...

Q: Why do elves have pointed ears? A: Well, there has to be some point to elves... Tolkien elves rock, though. The Silmarillion kills them in their droves - divine wrath, battle, poison, immersion in arctic ice, dragonfire, balrogs, treachery, evil dwarves, more balrogs - subjects them to all...
