You, sir, must be a lucky gnome, because no sooner had you uttered those words than my order shipped! :D Thanks for the well-wishing. Apparently it works!

You know, this is a far better way of finding gamers in your vicinity than any bulletin board or want-ad I've ever seen. Mods should sticky this in the Gamers Looking for Gamers section or something.

Dangnabbit, Amazon just cancelled my order for the Black Company and I have a feeling they're about to do the same to my Wilderlands order. Ah, well, at least my GM has a copy I could borrow off him if need be...

It was interesting to read, but immensely boring to play. I quit D&D for a long time because of it. Played better games in the meantime (Talislanta, Shadowrun). To be fair, it may have been the bad DMing that turned it into a mindless dungeon hackfest.

Google Maps is rockin'. Props out to ma peeps in TO, CANADAAAAAAA! :)

Talislanta is a very rich and exotic setting. If you liked the stories of Jack Vance (The Dying Earth), it has exactly that kind of feel. Get the Big Blue Book (v4), it's a complete setting and game in one giant tome. Conan is also good, and I hope someone does Lankhmar 3.5E.

Iron Heroes not an option? Usually it's homebrew rules.

Judging by the size of the threads here at ENWorld, I'd say the World's Largest Dungeon may be the big shared experience. I have seen a lot of people starting the Age of Worms AP though. I'm in a game of that myself.

Forgotten Realms is good for beginners, Eberron is better for jaded, experienced players. If you grew up on the old Gold Box video games, or played Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate, then that's all Forgotten Realms. I like it for the nostalgia value and because I'm so familiar with it after...

Ordered it from Amazon.ca yesterday. Might get it for Christmas if I'm lucky. The free PDF preview that Necro released really got its hooks into me, and now I want the whole thing. It'd better be worth the wait!

I break rules when the rules are no fun. I change rules when the existing rules fly in the face of reason. I let players do cool stuff if everyone is enjoying the situation; no amount of RAW can save a situation that's boring. The rules in roleplaying games are meant to be bent, because that too...

Yeah, I want to hear more about the WoHF too. :) I take it that there is a lot of similarity between Greyhawk and Wilderlands in the old-school department?

I think the problem is that most adventures are written, and read by the DM, from an "omniscient" point-of-view. They're fun for the DM but boring for the players because the players never see the cool machinery behind the set unless they're exceptionally clever and investigative. Some might say...

Shemmie, dear, no offence but your namesake prances around town shopping for dresses and preens herself in a mirror. My avatar-sake sits in a shop in a mortal city and sells trinkets. Look at your avatar. It's cute 'n all, but it ain't demonic. It's too human, with human foibles tacked on too...

This book is good news for planar adventurers, surely. Perhaps it will buttress a more comprehensive effort to flesh out the planes in third edition. Much as I love Planescape, there are elements of it that really were not well done, and the demons and devils are one of those. It would be far...

Well, as the original poster who wanted a drow-free underdark adventure, I would love to have someone do this for me, but I don't see anyone making money off it. Bespoke production is incredibly expensive, which is why most businesses moved to assembly lines. With the market for a custom module...

Didn't we just have a big rpg/scifi/anime/horror convention in Toronto, like, last month? Aug 26 http://www.sfcrowsnest.com/library/zones/2005/nz8234.php

Yes, I do have the Underdark book (and I like it a lot), but it doesn't have a complete adventure, let alone a campaign. It has a very short mini-adventure in the back. I was looking more for an exploration-travelling adventure that takes the party from one end of the Underdark to the other...

Does anyone know of any Underdark adventures that don't involve drow? I'd like to run/tweak/design a campaign using the Underdark sourcebook but without the ubiquitous spider-worshippers. My players are sick of them. ("Try the Drow Drow & Umber Hulks, it's only got a little bit of Drow in it.")

Yes, disillusioned with 3.5E, but then I've never been happy with any D&D version and I always tinker with the rules. I really like the Iron Heroes and Conan d20 systems though.
