Working in a general bookstore seems to mean that you are the font of all knowledge. The number of people who used to come in saying "Do you know Joe Blog? He lives around here somewhere." or an equivalent was staggering. My favorite was the young woman who came in... Her: I saw a book in...

Hong, I feel for you. Ditto. My hate of Telstra knows few bounds. (A few more interactions with them and it will be 'no bounds'. :] ) Examples: 1. Move from a share house and someone else takes over the phone number. Asked for last bill to go to new guy and they said not a problem. Ten...

In regards to being able to read Dragon online... I think having the current editions online could result in the death of the paper version and the people who don't use the web lose out. However, I would think that people would be more likely to subscribe to Dragon if their subscription...

With instructions, of course! ;)

When we converted over to 3.0 we spent 30 mins to an hour at the start of every session practicing an aspect of the rules in a 'flashback' to the characters training years. So one session we might practice grappling, the next bullsrush, the following attacks of opportunity. Until we had...

No gods (although the Valar are seen as gods by some) but angelic beings of THE God Eru or Illuvatar (sp?). Each of the Valar do have fields of interest. As Michael Morris suggested, check the opening two parts of the Silmarillion for details (eg Manwe who could be considered the head honcho...

I'm not interested in new feats. I'm not interested in new PRC's. I have enough crunch. I am interested in fluff supported with minimum (low admin) crunch. One of my favorite books purchased in the last few years is A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe To quote from RPGNow, "It contains...

My subconscious has been simmering away for over a week and finally decided to release something :o : A Dozen Deceptions Possible inclusions: the conman, the doppelganger, the polymorphed x, the false quest, the spy, etc. or a Dozen x Deceptions where x = anything from diabolical to political...

What I really want to know is if the travel bug bites! For anyone in your family. :)

Absolutely. When I finally found a game I could play in rather than DM, with a completely different group of people, I had a fair few revelations. And they were not necessarily about the more arcane rule combinations. Eg. I had never noticed the footnote in the Miscellaneous Actions table...

Keeping Nightscale for another day would be great. However, if you want one last go at the party and if the illusionist does climb up and then drop down a rope, Nightscale has the perfect opportunity to attack while a character is dangling in midair. A quick flyby, one acid breath hitting the...

I didn't even know a new competition had started. Did I miss a post? I love this competition and enjoy reading different interpretations of how to use the ingredients. However, when something like a half-oni is used I feel that there is a potential unfairness for competitors who may not know...

Multiple Personality Disorder (or whatever its called nowadays). His high intelligence proved too much for his psyche and it devolved into 3 personalities with scores of 18, 18 and (the dumb one :confused: ) 13. Each specialises in a particular area of brilliance. Otherwise you need to work...

My group's characters used to refer to themselves collectively simply as The Adventurers. As their reputation grew a tiny subplot developed with young adventurers or wannabe's asking advice and it was jokingly proposed that they publish The Adventurer's Handbook. The book would also be useful...

I run a homebrew campaign for a year or so and then default back to Forgotten Realms for a year or two before another homebrew campaign. My homebrews usually have an epic focus (achieve X and save the world) which when completed is abandoned. The Realms campaign is my default world where I...

:) A big thank you to Mark Clover at Creative Mountain Games for the donation prize - the revised SRD 3.5 bundle. I'm impressed! Being able to wish around all the pdf's using links is brilliant. I've been putting off getting a laptop (I share a pc with my partner) but now I have to. :lol...

I have to use this as light relief one day. :)

I probably wouldn't read a whole book. But I have two players who definitely would!

Re the shipping costs - as I'm down under I'm happy to get electronic products only.

Just a thought for those of you who find your finances stretched. Perhaps you can ask those who benefit from ENWorld indirectly (eg. players who don't read the site but accept its boons through you) would be willing to pass a buck or two to you to be forwarded on. If each group of players...
