Still waiting for #117 here. Having an international subscription is pretty frustrating... Nice to know what I can look forward to!

An excellent show. It's airing in Australia now (didn't think it would make it since it was cancelled; considering the fact that it's on at 12am I guess it may as well not have). Watched the DVDs in one sitting - and I'm glad I did. A good dose of humour, action and character development. It's...

They are indeed. If you want to guarantee failure in an endeavour that is almost certain to succeed, all that you need to do is preface your (or somebody else's!) roll with the phrase: "I need anything but a '1'." Of course, the outcome of the roll will be a '1'! I too forget NPC abilites...

I didn't think it would make it either. The 12.30am time slot is insulting to a series of this calibre. Having read all the hype from fans in this very forum, I was dubious when I sat down to watch the DVD's only a couple of weeks ago now (like you, I didn't think it would get aired here...

I've been an avid Dungeon reader since #84. With the changes it sounds like an even better buy than it already was,so I subscribed a fortnight ago for two years. Looking forward to receiving my copy every month (c'mon #114!),

I was hoping to hear of some Allied strategies. I've only played two games so far, once as Germany (victory) and once as the UK (victory again). Just to comment on the Axis strats: 13 Infantry German start: Interesting. I went for artillery to support infantry attacks, as you start with so...

I like it. I especially like the cover art. Wayne Reynolds, Scott Wood, Todd Lockwood - for me these guys define the 'best of' in terms of 3rd edition art. Great interview as well - the direction the magazine is heading sounds awesome. I did have a question - X1 Isle of Dread is listed as being...

My thoughts exactly. We were playing the Shackled City adventure path from Dungeon. So basically in a canned adventure like that, if you level up in the middle of the adventure (which has happened), there's no room for any downtime. So you'd have to use your higher slots for lower level...

Thanks all. I just wanted to quell the small doubt I had that I was wrong. As it is I decided to walk from the campaign. Trivial perhaps, but the double-standard with having a different interpretation for *exactly* the same rules with a sorcerer really ticked me off. I don't think a little...

Hi all, The DM and I are having a disagreement with respect to Prestige Classes and the two free spells a wizard gets to add to their spellbook at every level. The DM believes that if a wizard takes a Prestige Class (specifically, a PrC that has spell progression), then they do not get the two...

Thanks Rakhir! Bizarre... I haven't seen Macross, but Robotech was where I first encountered mecha and I have loved the concept ever since. I too enjoyed it for what it was, and I couldn't have been very old at the time.

Well I'm only a novice in all things anime, but I noticed a couple of series that nobody has mentioned that I recently saw and enjoyed: Bubblegum Crisis, Tokyo 2040: chicks in power armour battling rogue androids. No bubblegum to be seen and I have no idea why it's called that. Was quite...

What nobody has mentioned so far (I don't think), is that heavy fortification is a +5 bonus! For immunity to critical hits/sneak attacks, it's not worth that kind of bonus. They just don't happen that often in my game, and it's now at 24th level (from 1st). For immunity to vorpality effects...

Indeed! While I was pretty sure there were rules for armoured dragons in the Draconomicon, I didn't have the book handy so I left out any references to that. It does seem absurd that a Dragon armoured in medium armour or heavier can no longer fly when it's rider mounts up, or why there's such a...

I'm seeing it tomorrow night, and from what you're saying I'm sure it will purge VH from my mind for me as well.

Hi all, In a future campaign I wanted to open up the options with regards to available races. This could mean the possibility of PC's with wings, and thus the ability to fly. However, in trying to nail down the specific rules in advance with regards to flying in armour or in a heavy load, I...

Not true - I've done the math. The best weapon is the Greatsword, followed by the Greataxe, then the Falchion. As a matter of fact, the falchion only becomes sightly better than the greataxe when the wielder's Strength is 30. Back on topic, as pet peeves: Players that have to calculate their...

I'm in the same boat. The campaigns I have run have consisted of all published adventures exclusively, from 1st and 2nd ed AD&D, 3rd ed D&D and Dungeon magazine. I have time enough to modify the ideas presented in them as necessary (or convert stat-blocks to 3rd ed), not create from scratch...

I would think that most people's hatred of alignment could be attributed to poor GMing. There's a few who still carry the 1st and 2nd AD&D mindset, where actions that deviated from your alignment would be punished by being awarded zero xp, to actually losing a level if an alignment change was...

I've seen this a couple of times now. I would imagine that those people making these comments would have been GMs of WHFP, not players. As a player I hated it. Your chances of fulfilling your initial character concept were sketchy at best (say, as a dwarf Troll Slayer andvancing to Daemon...
