I have that version, picked it up for about $5 at my FLGS one day years ago. Cool stuff, but not exactly my piece of cake.

What third movie? The was no third Matrix movie. They are still working on it. I hear the plot is going to be how the good guys discover that what they *thought* was the real world is just another level of the Matrix, just another level of control. They are going to really escape from the...

By Moradin, it's called the period!

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree, the post is almost definetly a trolling post. I like the part where he says Tolkien made halflings crybabies. Since halflings did not exist before Tolkien invented them, I don't think it is possible he could have ruined them. However, the fact that many...

Yeah, I look to the Ennies to seperate the wheat from the chaff. I know the reviews section helps there, too, and I do use it a lot. My gaming dollars are so few, and I look to the Ennies for ideas of D20 stuff to buy. I probably never would have gotten The Vault of Larin Karr if it hadn't...

Update: When almost everyone else you talk to seems to think you are acting irrationally, it is time to re-examine the situation. Talked to one of the players; water under the bridge now. He rejoined the group, last nights game was great.

Oh, no, I'm not going to kill them. I was just saying that was my initial reaction. I have to talk to them about it... maybe they'll read their email for once.

That was my initial reaction. But then I tried to think about why the players might have done what they did. I mean, I can see why they thought they might have been overruled by a minority, but that is not how I saw it. The centaur is a retired adventurer, and the current employer of the...

So I am at a bit of an impasse with my group. The situation is, near the end of tonight's game, three of the five party members basically abandoned the party, and went off on their own. Here is what happened: the players had been hired at the end of the previous game to escort a centaur and...

I think that gaming encompasses more than just playing the game, it also includes participating in the community. Some people may think about games a lot, wish they played more, but for one reason or another do not. I wish I had more time to game, or rather, I wish my gaming buddies and I had...

Yeah, the campaign i'm currently running had its heyday a couple years ago during the summer. I was definetly in the Zone. We actually haven't played a whole lot since then- I've been pretty busy with school and LSATs and whatnot, and the other players have gotten busy with their own...

Like many others on the thread, I don't have very fond memories of the *rules* of 2e, but had a few fun games. Early in my roleplaying career I was exposed to other games (Jorune 3rd edition was actually the first game I owned), and realized how crappy the 2e rules were. I pretty much left it...

Good stories guys. I'll add one of my personal favorites. I was playing a half-orc barbarian, Balrog, and the party was on a ship going somewhere, I don't remember where. Our DM was pretty miserly with handing out magical items, and I just recently got a +2 Keen Greatsword, which I was very...

The "Banned and the Banished" books by James Clemens are pretty awesome. Sort of dark epic fantasy, very cool stuff. When I was reading the first couple books I just kept thinking "Gosh, this is so good..." And, even better, it actually ends! I'm on book three of five, and I know that I can...

I think he was talking about my claim that people like medieval level tech. because hand to hand combat is cool. At least, I don't think he meant that movies provide evidence that it was not the case that skill greatly determined things in medieval combat. But it is unclear what part Joshua...

Back when I was in middle school/high school I ran a great Jorune solo campaign for my friend Aaron. We both really liked the world, and it went well. I wish I could find my notes from that campaign. I wish I could run Jorune again- one of the best roleplaying worlds out there.

I think the others above made good points; tradition and inertia are certainly major contributing factors. I think another factor is that people just *like* medieval fantasy. When you add sci-fi elements and others, it just changes the feel, and some people don't find the new feel as fun, and...

I think the poll is missing an option. I chose the "fluid rules" option. But that doesn't necessarily mean that I like rules-light systems and oppose rules heavy systems. I like rules light systems, but I also love D&D 3e. It is nice to have a relatively rules heavy system, but one that does...

I myself like Campaign Cartographer 2, but it is pretty pricey, especially when you look at all the add-ons to it. I don't think any of the add-ons are worth it (except maybe the 3rd party Realm Overseer, which lets you look at CC2 files in 3D). Aside from the add-ons, though, CC2 is a good...
