    Nostalgia

    Got it in one, son. What these people miss is that the joy isn't in the game, or at least it's not solely in the game -- it's the act of playing. I haven't played with my childhood gaming group in nearly ten years, but when I'm with one of my new groups, and it clicks, it's the exact same...

    Dungeon #107/Polyhedron #166

    It's support for a non-WOTC, non-D&D d20 product. Yes, it's d20 and fantasy. No, it's not D&D, because Freeport isn't an officially licensed D&D product like, say, Warcraft or Kingdoms of Kalamar. Thus, support goes in Polyhedron. That's my best guess, anyway. Maybe this will lay the ground...

    RPG/D&D terms and phrases that are no longer clever or amusing.

    There are legitimate rules-based reasons for descriptors, though -- among other things, bonuses require descriptors to determine stacking, and under 3.5, DR is bypassed by descriptor (eg 15/epic or 15/vile rather than 15/+5) rather than bonus. Those are just two examples off the top of my head...

    Straight Dope on Eberron . . .

    It reminds me of what I'm doing with Greyhawk. I like it, but I've always had a weakness for dinosaurs, trains and Indiana Jones. Which essentially means I have the same tastes I had when I was four years old. I'll probably buy the setting book and kipe all the crunchy bits and anything else I like.

    [Chainmail] Is there a map of the Sundered Empire anywhere?

    Awesome! That is *exactly* the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you!

    [Chainmail] Is there a map of the Sundered Empire anywhere?

    I want what it says on the tin. I know that Thalos is the big triangular island off the northwestern coast of Oerik, but what does the rest of it look like?

    So I have this mad idea.

    I have copies of T1-4, A1-4, and GDQ 1-7, along with several other older modules that I picked up for cheap this summer. They are not in the best condition -- significant cover wear and page markup -- but they are complete. I could auction them off on eBay for about $20-odd, but I was thinking...

    Anybody Becoming a Fast Forward Lifer?

    I'd buy lifetime subscriptions to: Fantasy Flight Green Ronin Atlas Games Pelgrane Press I think White Wolf was offering subscriptions a few years ago, where they'd just automagically send you every product they put out and debit you for the cost.

    What's the deal with Greyhawk...

    It's a term of respect, not an insult. "Grognard" is not the same as just plain "nard".

    What's the deal with Greyhawk...

    ...and what do the old Greyhawk grognards have against the "new" (Living) Greyhawk?

    D20 Modern Other Publishers?

    Re: More info on Atomic City? It looks to be based on the comic Atomic City Tales, which was an excellent book in the same vein as Allred's Madman. If you liked Madman, you won't be disappointed with Atomic City Tales. The existence of this book thrills me to no end.

    D&D Advertising & D&D Lite

    [AV] my ideal intro kit There are few, if any, fantasy-based board games available in toy stores that aren't based on Harry Potter. D&D needs a new board game. My impression of the Adventure Game is that it's underproduced (as in "cheap"), ill-supported, and not widely distributed if not...
