Hey Arravis, what day did you place your order? I am hoping mine has shipped as well. I am glad you were able to make contact with them. I saw on their site that they were off to a convention and was thinking that is maybe why we had not heard back from them. Just checked my e-mail and I have...

Arravis, How did you place your order? I placed mine with a debit card and immedaitly received an e-mail recipt for my order. Today is the 3rd business day since my order was placed and I have not heard from them if they have shipped or not. They did however advise that they ship orders between...

Thanks Darius101, I will give that a try. Decado

Painfully & Darius101, When you ordered from fantization how did you place your order? I have been scanning their site and really want some of the Hersey Boris minis. I also would not mind getting the Netherlord mini (Its not exactly mini!). Thanks for the info. Decado

Lannon, I see nothing wrong with people studying the MA to learn how to realistically defend themselves in a street fight. If that is a persons goal there is nothing wrong with that. I do think that fights should be avoided at all costs but there are times when they cannot be and one should be...

I just bought Conan the Barbarian on DVD and really have an urge to run a game set in that setting. I have also always wanted to run a Norse or Celtic setting type game and am fighting the urge (not very hard mind you) to buy Slaine. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good novels of...

zdanboy, If you have a good jui-jitsu school in your area I would highly recommend spending some time there training. Knowing the ground game is a vital element to winning street fights. As far as locks go in an actual street fight they are incidental or accidental. What I mean by that is if...

I am a big fan of the Krynn Minotaurs and if I was to play a creature a minotaur would be my first choice. I have never played one but I did have one as a NPC in a campaign I ran many years ago. Decado

Takyris, I agree with you. Sparring will never be able to fully represent a street fight and there will always be techniques that you cannot do on a training partner at full power. I have found however that some of the bodys most powerful striking tools, head butts knees and elbows, can be done...

I am rather suprised at the negative response seen here regarding Muay Thai. If I wanted to study a purely striking art Muay Thai would be my first choice bar none. Muay Thai was the first art I ever studied and I practiced for 10 years before moving onto other martial arts like Kali, Jeet Kune...

If anyone is interested, I purchased the Middle Earth map box set a few days ago. Although I am by far no Tolkien scholar and cannot vouch for there accuracy, the maps a are very well done. They were drawn by the same person who drew the maps for the movie. The only downside that I can see to...

I hope it is ok for a lurker to pipe in once and a while before the game starts (I will remain silent once the game begins I promise :) ) Daiymo, Nice character, I just finished reading the section on Bree and its folk this afternoon and your character sounds just right. I am glad someone in...

I am sorry I missed out on the chance to sign up for this game. I will be a lurker for sure. I was wondering if there was going to be a way for us lurkers to see the character write ups? Also when is the game officially going to begin? I cannot wait to follow along. You can also count me in if...

Lost Soul, Yes what I said could be taken as out of character knowledge but that is not what I intended. I think that it is possible to determine if you are out matched in an encounter without using out of character knowledge, especially after the first few rounds of combat do not go in the...

It sounds like you did things right to me. Perhaps the opposition was a bit too powerful but the players, if they are experienced, should be able to recognize when they are outmatched. Especially if you gave one of them a hint before hand telling him that there were some encounters they should...

Asmo, No offense taken and I apologize if my response came off that way. Happy gaming to you and your group too. :) Decado

The Jester, Calan plans on bringing back his ranger/druid. The monk had only been with the campaign for a few games. Asmo, None of my players have a problem with the rule and even use it in their own campaigns. I should also say that the rule was created by the group I play with and not just...

I use different styles of trolls in my campaign. I use the Reaper troll minis for my standard troll and the LOTR troll mini for my cave trolls. The cave trolls in my campaign are giants. In the 3e game I ran today the party's monk was killed by a troll. He attempted to jump across the troll on...

I like the box sets as well. After reading a few posts in this thread I dug out my Night below boxed set. I bought this many years ago but have never used it. Looking through it I found it very well done and I was quite happy to discover Tactical Maps that can be used with minis. I may have to...

I have a sword from Museum Replicas and I am very happy with the quality. It also came with instructions on how to sharpen the blade as well. I also have a battle axe from them waiting for me under the X-mas tree. Museum Replicas also makes shields of different designs that are primed and...
