pdf-wise I got the latest two monster geographica from Expeditious retreat (marsh&aquatic and forest) book-wise I bought way too much :) got both volumes of the Iron Kingdoms CS by Privateer Press, and let me tell you it wasn't easy! those things are never in stock. Also got five nations...

Another vote for Mike Mearls and Bruce Cordell. Keith Baker is starting to catch up though... good work Keith!

I second that, the CMG SRD is very very useful!

we use google groups to organize sessions and some between sessions stuff (creating magical items, finding leads...) and we also have a website (hosted on my site) with some campaign background, character sheets for the players and a log of the campaign

This is the description of Stormreach from the adventure: Stormreach rises over the harbor, the only apparent evidence of civilization along this otherwise jungle coastline. Great stone buildings form the foundation of the trade city, though all manners of smaller wood structures fill the gaps...

I was 13 when I started playing the basic d&d set and today at 28 I'm still going strong. I don't personally know any kids who play but D&D afternoon "classes" are becoming more and more popular for kids. My FLGS owner organizes sort of a living Warcraft D20 campaign and its mostly younger kids...

I guess subjective experience counts for a lot. I played through this and none of us players liked the adventure. Throughout the whole trilogy of adventures we felt constantly rail-roaded, without actual impact on the course of events and we felt that everything was forced, sort o a patchwork of...

Those moments are so rare in my gaming history I'm not sure I can even think of one... Its hard to lower your cynicism and sarcasm shields and really connect to your characters like that. Though we are modern we're still basically a bunch of guys pretending to fight dragons... so I salute all of...

I really like your reviews Crothian but perhaps you should proof read them once more before posting ;) no offense, the english is ok but I think with one more read you can really polish it.

I deny the connection between geekiness and rpg's. If you want you can claim a connection between geeks and almost anything from science fiction and fantasy to books(any book) to documentaries... I've played with quite a few players over the years and I don't consider any of them geeks. Geek is...

28, i think a poll would have been more logical :)

My Eberron group consists of 3 players. They're all pretty devoted which makes it easier. They do lack some abilities (no rogue and no arcane caster in the group) but they hang in there. Currently they're part of an church sponsored archeological expedition to Droaam which is the beggining of my...

thanks for all your advice. He doesn't have a PHB, he takes mine during the sessions. Even if he does borrow it between sessions he doesn't really have time to read it (that's what he claims at least). Most of the time he's not completely out of touch while reading the book, but its offensive to...

I don't think he's looking for anything related to what we're doing... simply browsing through spells mostly.

I dm a group of three players, pretty ideal for me and the games are going good. Yet I have a problem with one of the players. He's relatively new to 3rd edition and D20 and it took a while to get him up to speed. Because of his insecurity with the rules and the fact that he never opens a book...

Just wanted to thank you John for providing another very(!) useful review. I have the explorer's handbook but haven't used it yet and so didn't notice many of the problems. Keep up with the excellent(!!!) review work! lior s.

I think that's not the only thing they have on back order. I've been trying to get the Iron Kingdoms character guide for months now without success... most stores in the u.s dont ship international, amazon cancelled my order because they couldn't get it and my FLGS is unable to supply. its a sad...

I'll only give my opinion on what I played, a Kalashtar (Eberron). I played a Kalashtar Psion in an eberron campaign for about half a year (levels 1-7) and really enjoyed it. The Kalashtar are balanced as a race in my opinion and are unique enough to differentiate them from playing a human (to...

I got the following at their latest 5$ sale (real books though :)) Monster's handbook - interesting ways to improve/change monsters. divided by monster category, includes lots of feats, prestige classes and general advice. execllent although 3.0 Portal and Planes - interesting book about ...

I've noticed most of the time I spend on creating NPC's using my computer (dm-genie, excellent program!) is spent on selecting feats. I checked today and I have 978 feats in the program. These include feats from the core books + psionics + about 5 other books. Why?How?What?Where? plus any...
