    Is your book collection this big?

    Just don't start grading them. Labeling a spouse "very fine" may sound like a good idea now...

    What religious pantheon do you use?

    I use the Norse gods, plus Though I get away with it because I'm the all powerful DM. Note: Planescape is awesome.

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find. You know, I was wondering the same thing. So, I went to My Events and downloaded the pdf Wizards has for it. Sure. In the post that I quoted, it seemed to me that you were complaining that someone who paid $6 to play in Gamma World gameday...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    I'm really sorry. That was completely and totally unintentional. It should be fixed now. I have a nasty tendency to hit the "multiquote" button as I read a thread. When I posted my response, I think I kept the wrong original quote. I was going to reply to you, but then I thought better of it...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    This is getting strange. You don't mind paying $6 to the store to play a game. But you do mind paying $6 to both Wizards and the store to play a game and get a tangible item you might not want if you don't like and purchase the game. I don't like it either. Part of my problem with some of the...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    Bad example. Cable companies practically invented introductory pricing. You know, they want you to subscribe to something, so they say "for six months we'll only charge you $1 a month for HBO. After that, we'll charge you the $11 everyone else pays." I see that all the time. Heck, ISPs, cell...

    D&D 4E 4e and reality

    Mid-combat rule changes, whatever the reason, isn't something I endorse as a way to happy players. It's one thing to rule with an Iron Fist (something I do endorse), it's something else to be a jerk. That said, it's a little hard to draw a line between what's a rule change and what's a ruling...

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    But what about people who want an optional add-on supplement to D&D? Some people won't buy a separate game, but they'll buy an optional supplement. It seems to me that this plan is the best of both worlds: Wizards create san optional supplement so people who like the idea can buy it and people...

    Do you use electrum pieces?

    That should be my next poll: have you ever used astral diamonds? I know I haven't.

    Fortune Cards: and randomized collectible cards come to D&D

    What about people who want to combine both in one game? It's about random booster packs in table top RPGS. It's a hot topic, one of those things that gets discussed a lot in any thread where the subject could potentially come-up. See: Kyle Ryner vs. Hal Jorden and emacs vs. vi.

    Do you use electrum pieces?

    First, electrum is a an inherently funny word. Some words sound funnier than others. (E.g., pumpernickel) Also, in 3 and 3.5, games that a completely decimal coin system, electrum are odd because their half a gold (or whatever value you wish to assign them) and it ruins the idea of easily...

    Dragon Comics

    I don't know about Zogonia and Mt. Zogon, but Dork Tower is continued in on Dorktower.com, there is also a comic book and several trades for it. Nodwick also had a comic book. Aaron Williams, the creator of Nodwick, has numerous Nodwick comics online at nodwick.com. He's also slowly putting out...

    So Why Restrict Yourself To Only One Game Setting?

    In 3.x the "default" was that the Plane of Shadow had portal to alternate prime material planes. I used this once to send my players to Faerûn because one of my players wanted the a familiar from the Monsters of Faerûn book. (I told him if he wanted it, he'd have to go there and get it himself.)

    Do you use electrum pieces?

    Do you use electrum in your game? I ask because I've actually had players who were against it for some reason. Because I'm a jerk, I started handing out electrum pieces occasionally as treasure. Once, I had my players find some electrum in a box labeled "rust monster food." I don't know what...

    I honestly hate saying this, but the winner of the contest, "Win one-million dollars if you intentionally create the worst website ever!" couldn't design a worse website.

    Gabe (Penny Arcades) take on Essentials Red Box

    True, but he's actually played the new Red Box, and I haven't. The opinion of someone who has actually played a game and has similar tastes to mine holds more weight with me than the opinion of someone who has different tastes and and hasn't played it. It's like a movie critic, if you know a...

    Gabe (Penny Arcades) take on Essentials Red Box

    It was interesting reading an opposing opinion on martial attacks. Like him, I've never had a problem with fighters having daily and encounter powers. But I'm glad there's a build that eliminates them.

    Essentials DM Screen

    There putting out two screens. One is in the DM's Kit. It's my understanding that that's like the old 4e screen, but with errataed tables and on thin card stock. I do believe it's the same dimensions as the old one. The second one is sold separately in Feb. I'm hoping that it's on the same...

    Essentials: Magic Item Rarity Explained, it's actually good!

    I'd hold off on the book burning. AV1 still has some good rules for mounts, mount statistics, vehicle rules, and vehicle statistics.

    DM Rewards

    I found your post reasonable until you started dumping on free card. At this point, I think your reasoning becomes shaky. First, Wizards tinkers with the RPGA all the time. I joined back when you had to pay. Seriously, since 2000, think about all the changes Wizards has made: making it free...
