The cost of Pathfinder issues alone will cause me to be unable to buy it. I rolled the remainder of my Dragon subscription over to receive the first 3 volumes of Pathfinder, but after that, I'll be S.O.L. for regular doses of new content for my games.

THIS SUCKS I've been a loyal reader of Dragon since January 1986, and have never missed an issue since. I can't believe that NO ONE will be publishing these iconic magazines anymore. I don't want any F******* web based content; I want a magazine I can sit and read in a comfortable chair or...

What people consider metal or hard rock is a very subjective opinion, so I try to just live and let live. But the next person that calls Poison metal is gonna get....ahem..anyway. Lately, I've really come to like bands like Edenbridge, Lacuna Coil, Stream of Passion, Nightwish, and several...

Thanks, ya'll!

This happened in a 1e game, in a campaign that seemed famous for cliffhanger endings, knucklebiting combat encounters, and random dumb luck. There are over a half dozen stories where an amazing die roll saved the character, the situation, or completely ruined the DM's plans. One of my...

If you fence "by the rules", you guys are right. But we sometimes had practice sessions where the instructor would divide all the students into two teams. It looked like an Errol Flynn movie gone bad in most cases, but it was a blast. Just try defending yourself against three of the...

Ghettognome...that sucks. And sadly, the IRS doesn't sympathize with us when that stuff happens! It took me an hour and a half of hitting the "transmit" button for TurboTax because of overloaded servers, but I beat the clock!

Well, I'll be at the computer all night, trying to submit my return electronically. TurboTax's servers are maxed out. But dang it, I got them done!

Thanks, everyone! I used to be a lot more organized than I am now, and actually did keep things in folders and files. Now, my life is ruled by piles of clutter and dust bunnies!

I lost a long time player because of 3.x's AoO rules. He'd been in my gaming group since 1987, and hasn't played D&D in 3 years now, because he hates the AoO rules and such. I still use them, but at a -4 penalty to the attack roll. I was a fencer in college, and I can tell you from a...

For those who own the Rokugan d20 rulebook, you know of the element of Void. There are several feats that depend on the feat "Void Use", and they unlock really cool and potent abilities. My question is this: If I want to use these feats, but there really isn't an Asian flavored area to my...

What about using the Death Knight template, as has been suggested? Throwin' the punkin' is how he uses his fiery blast of death!

Thanks, RI. Thing is, I'm not working anywhere now, having been let go from my last job because of increasingly worsening emotional issues. The one here in town I might be able to go and pick up a w-2 from, but the job I had prior to that one is 30 miles away, and with what's going on in my...

Well, our government graciously extended the income tax deadline to April 17th, for which I was greatful, because like many Americans, I wait until the last minute to file. So I sat down tonight, installed Turbo Tax on my computer, and then discovered I've probably thrown both W-2 forms (one...

I've always encouraged my players to come up with elements for the campaign setting. Luckily, each time they did, the results were nearly always great. It give the players a sense of "ownership" in the setting, especially if it's a homebrew like mine always are.

There was an American supercroc, as well. Phobosuchus (which was a true crocodile and not a crocodiliform) was the same size and lived in Texas.

Thanks, PC!

I can't even begin to narrow down what would be "the best" articles. I love my CD Dragon collection so bad..

I also use iTunes Radio as atmospheric music. Under the Ambient section, I use the Drone Zone on Soma FM channel. It's mostly tones and such, but it can be very creepy if the PC's are in certain adventuring situations.

We used to run "DM Tag Team" games back in college. They worked out great, since the party inevitably split. We once had two parties compete against each other in secret (DM's in two different rooms), and when the PC's arrived at a point we'd determined would be the best for the two groups to...
