Interesting. I went for Azlant and the Courts because, regardless of setting, I want to see both concepts in print. Red Eye is cool, but I don't have a need for that right now. (Though I'm still thinking about it a lot.)

I am getting strange flashbacks to a Doctor Who episode where he injected a clone of himself into his brain to save himself. There were weird ganglions, neurons and the like with flashing lights and bizarre sounds! What's not to like? How about this? Every significant interval of time, pick a...

I should really read the whole thread. What is the "NPC Classes only" option? That seems odd.

Very surprised that no one has mentioned the (mostly defunct now) Legend of the Five Rings miniatures line: Miniature-GIANT :: LEGEND FIVE RINGS (L5R)

Awesome! Many congratulations and wishes for a great future together.

Poisoncraft, by Blue Devil Games Draconomicon, from WotC, for the dragons and the amazing art. Also, Libris Mortis, for some excellent ways to trick out undead. Nyambe, Atlas Games, since it's a cool and different setting. Necromancer Games City of Brass boxed set. Amazing. Beyond Countless...

You can also cut the pink and blue stuff with an old bread knife or an old cutting knife. Sandpaper can take it down into interesting shapes as well. I think the results are very spectacular when combined with a good paint job, and each piece is unique.

Actually, I make almost all my own terrain. I've found that even the water-based paints will eat (really "dissolve") styrofoam. If you want to make your own, and you don't want to go the Hirst Arts/Dwarven Forge way, then it's possible to make good-looking terrain with insulation foam, artist's...

Finally! (I haven't yet opened and read it, but soon, very soon.) I'm glad that tracks don't magically disappear for everyone without Survival.

Golarion is awesome because it's chock-full of details and fun stuff! You could literally run almost any kind of campaign you wanted. Just plunk it down on the map.

Wish I could have tried Mouse Guard. Several friends have mentioned it! I did try 1) Hollow Earth Expedition: rules lite, easy, fun. I liked it a lot and bought the sourcebook. 2) Risk 2210: Neat stuff. It has a limited time (five years), lots of new mechanics that add not take away, and the...

Isida Kep'tukari ran a PBP game here called Vasorn: World Under Dragonfire. I think the idea was similar to Reign of Fire. The dragons ruled the skies, and everyone humanoid had retreated to the drow caverns where they formed a shaky alliance trying to take back the surface. I'd be tempted to...

New base classes for Pathfinder = excellent! :D

Thanks for the update! I look forward to reading more of the Appalachian Trail of Gaming. (For those of us on the East Coast US, aka moi, is there anything we can do in advance?)

Alternately, he could be on the DMG cover from the first edition. Or should that be first printing? Or white box set? Decisions, decisions. (Personally, I'd like to know what his family thinks.)

That is an awesome thing to propose! Let's hope there's a fund that gets started. It would be very cool if there was a gaming table there somehow. Then if other famous people got statues, they could join the game.

Ideas. Many shiny, sparkling, "I want to steal this ideas". See "irony" in the dictionary, or Wolfgang's editorial in Issue #10. I also recommend the Ed Greenwood article. Great quote "All holy ales work on humans, dwarves and all crossbreeds of human and dwarf (such as derro, duergar...

If you're giving them NPCs? Yes. The more quick guidance you can give the PCs to acclimate them, the better. One tip I forgot. Cut scenes with Participation Required often work better if you take a quick break just before the shift.

Two types of cut scenes: Informational and Participation Required. The latter can incorporate information transfer as well as the former, but it's more work. Dream sequences are a classic gaming example of a cut scene. I find that you need a good flavor reason for the transition, or you need to...

Lovely job on the gorge! I didn't quite have the scores to get into Cornell (25 years later they'd give me a full scholarship - LOL), but I walked across that and the bridge that the engineering students built. Quite a pleasant surprise to see Storn watercolors. Also, excellent Hero/Iwo Jima...
