As diaglo mentioned, I also saw a few gas stations that are closed because their tanks are empty. Fill up before you head out for DragonCon this weekend, and fill up again before you get inside the city. There is no reason to panic, there are still plenty of stations that have gas. But remember...

Yeah, Atlanta had a minor gas panic this afternoon. Rumor spread that there was a shortage, and that pumps would be shut down for a period of time. The word varied, at the coffee shop this afternoon I heard they would shut down at 4 p.m. today and stay closed for 48 hours. Of course, none of...

Thought about it a few minutes, and I remembered that my original idea was to just make Summon Familiar a feat, take it away as an automatic ability for sorcerers and wizards and give them both a bonus feat at 1st level. So if they want a familiar, no net loss or gain, but if they want something...

Am I confused? The only upcoming date I see is that the Delver's Guild site is "scheduled to launch in September 2005." But there is no actual deadline approaching, is there? As long as you pre-order by June 30, 2006, you get all the same goodies. I guess you miss out on the first few months of...

I agree that giving sorcerers the feat for free gives them a little extra flavor and is not unbalancing. In my campaign, I allow sorcerers the option of swapping the familiar ability for eschew materials. While I certainly agree that the familiar is more powerful, a few of my players dislike...

I agree that making level draining less permanent makes undead a little less scary, but we rarely used them in earlier editions because leveling took so long and taking that away seemed unfair. But my first encounter with undead in 3.0 kept them scary for me. Second adventure, our characters...

I feel like somebody just performed some thread necromancy on something from the 80s. Have you guys heard of this cool new invention called the internet? In every group I have been part of since the advent of 3.0, emails have been used to some extent. Usually a Yahoo group is set up, but at...

Another factor is the amount of time since the core rules were last revised. Many of the possible rules questions, at least the ones that come up most often, have been asked, multiple times. We get the occasional newbie asked the same old questions (and usually people respond with answers and...

Glad to see a few mentions for Covington Cross. Cheesy, but fun. Surprised no one has mentioned Earth 2 yet. Are my wife and I the only ones who actually liked that show?

Cool. Thanks for the update.

Dangit, my kids are asleep. You can't be making me laugh like that. A chuckle is okay, but a guffaw just might wake them up.

I check in every once in a while at Nothingland, and the recently created Quietcool. Those are the only other places I ever post. I check Oathbound.net sometimes, the Necromancer boards, Monte's boards (now that I have the Ptolus bug), and rarely WotC's boards. For non-RPG, I have been know...

Like it or not (and I do), you gotta admit Monte is really pushing the envelope. I'm not a mindless fan-boy of his (if there really is such a thing), but I do like a lot of what he creates. But consider where he is going with this one book (plus extras): 1. Moving past the $100 mark for a...

I used to work in the building(s) where Dragon*Con is held, and could wander downstairs on Thursday and Friday to see what was going on. Haven't made it in a couple of years, and don't think I'll make it this year.

Please join me in sending "inspiration" vibes to PC so he can fix, finish, and produce OSM2!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts for your friend.

As diaglo said, how about a session or 24? His campaign has is going strong, for a over a year now. And it is everything you descibe, but without the metagame knowledge. Most of us are familiar with the modules being used, but we avoid metagaming. Wouldn't help anyway, since diaglo changes...

My birthday is next month (practically, since it is almost September), so I have convinced myself to wait until then. My mom is terrible about presents, in the sense that she is never able to come up with anything on her own and instead ends up just asking me what I want. This seems perfect...

Wow. Looking at the pre-order extras has wowwed me. I'll probably never use Ptolus, but I am pretty certain that I will buy it. Signed and numbered does little to nothing for me, but all the extra goodies put this over the top. Wow.

C but mostly B. Some PDFs I buy knowing that they are a toolkit, that I may use a feat, spell, or something else. These I usually just read onscreen. I prefer my gaming material that I will be reading cover to cover to be in print form. Usually, I will buy books rather than PDFs if I expect...
