The first two of the series are really well designed modules. They have an interesting story line and plot twists without railroading PCs. I'm even more impressed, however, by all the little details that really give these modules texture (e.g. descriptions of items, logic behind the room...

Quite a lot of pssting yourself.

Really, I thought you pssted with the other team.

Because it is probably a better perspective than what hong considers roleplaying?

Yeah, I am kind of curious about this myself. Originally, the assertion was made it was Polyhedron that was propping up the sales for Dungeon. Then back in July 2003 an informal poll was conducted that demonstrated much stronger support for Dungeon than Polyhedron. Was this original...

Big thanks to the Paizo crew! That really made my day. I will definitely be resubscribing to the new Dungeon magazine. Heck, double or triple the price on me and I'd still buy the revised version. As quality sources of adventures have dwindled over the years, this is the resource I've been...

Loki, I definitely hear you in terms of more games being about roll playing than role playing these days. Since my undergrad days I have yet to find a game where the story element is really that compelling. When you talk to most DMs these days they think of themselves as fairly well-rounded...

Yeah, I would have to agree with this. The game world seems like a bunch of cheap and disjointed cliches tossed together so that there is a game world with options not limitations. The only problem is it seems more like Peter Pan make-believe than a game world with substance and a plausible...

Probably, something as formalized as a survey is not required. If it is a friend I tend to have a pretty good feel of whether they will work in a gaming group. For someone I do not know, what I have done is talk to the person over the phone to get a sense for their gaming style, availability...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with this assessment. As a player it is great to have both rapid advancement and a lot of options both for combat and character customization, however, for a DM trying to balance it all and having to manage a whole cast of characters for every adventure it can be more of...

Don't know if I am the only one that notices this. But fewer and fewer people seem to want to run games. DMs seem to be burning out more quickly these days.

A quality module. I think it has been over ten years since they put out a decent module.

Good editing is like icing on the cake. If the content is bad, it doesn't matter how good the editing is, the book still stinks. One the other hand good editing can really bring out the flavor in an already excellent recipe.

U1-3: Saltmarsh Series Maiden Voyage Old Dungeon Magazines

Here the top three picks IMHO with details as to why I like them. X2 Castle Amber: The most compelling aspects of Castle Amber is it's tactilly-rich environment and it's sense of mystery. Characters are cast into an eerie, disorienting environment and must piece what is going on. There is a...

A1-4: Slavelord Series I3-5: Desert of Desolation Series UK1-3: Saltmarsh Series X2: Castle Amber

I really feel for you. I do not exactly work for the most stable company myself and have seen some people in adjacent departments and even within my own deparment get laid off. In terms of your situation typically how these arrangements work the outsourcer guarantees to reduce IT costs up to...

Check out the 3-module Desert of Desolation series written by Tracy Hickman. It includes I3 Pharoah, I4 Oasis of the White Palm, and I5 Lost Tomb of Martek. The imagination and details of the modules really bring the setting to life. From desert smugglers to priestly orders than have...

On an interview In the Actor's Studio Mike Myers of Austin Powers fame admitted to having gamed in high school. Though he did seem a bit embaressed to admit it. His personality Lothar of the Hill People was based his D&D campaign.
