    Gaming stores in Bangkok?

    I'm leaving soon on a 4 month vacation in the orient (yippee), traveling through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia and who knows? I was hoping on my way back to stop in Bangkok and buy me some RPG goodness. However I can't find addresses or names of stores who carry RPG's in Bangkok. Can...

    Grasp of the Emerald Claw Opinions

    My group (I'm currently a player) is in the midst of 'Grasp of...' (2 sessions behind us). So far we like it better than 'whisper', its not as rail-roaded and so far at least there hasn't been an all-powerful villain with the ability to escape us miraculously 3/day :) [warning: small spoiler...

    Do you give out psionic treasure?

    I play a psion shaper in an Eberron campaign and so far I've really gotten the short end of the stick. We're already 6th level and we haven't found a single psionic item :( To compensate the DM does allow me to buy psionic items in the city, but they're usually too expensive for me. I also took...

    Top 5 D&D Books

    I'm assuming there are 3.5 core books on the island (and if not I'll memorize 'em damn it) - Expanded Psionics Handbook (love those powers) - Advanced Bestiary and Deluxe Book of Templates (x1000 the monster options) - Eberron CS (its so pertty) - Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed (maybe I'll...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo improved? probably a myth

    Erik, First of all I want you to know I appreciate you reading and responding, and as I stated in my original response I subscribed because you convinced me in the huge thread a few months back and I thought the new format was great. Please don't get defensive ("damned if you do..."), that was...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo improved? probably a myth

    I agree it might seem a little harsh but... I sent an email and simply didn't get any response to it, three months(!) have passed since I paid them and I still haven't seen a single issue! So I got angry and sent them a cancellation letter. To be honest, I was trying to scare them a little. I...

    What's the best Electronic game aid

    I second DMGenie, its very powerful, has a very active community which adds data from new sources to it all the time, and is pretty easy to update on your own if you have even a little computer skill lior

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo improved? probably a myth

    I actually sent them an email 2 weeks ago asking why am I not receiving my magazines. It was unanswered for almost 2 weeks so I decided to cancel the subscription lior

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo improved? probably a myth

    There are some local gaming stores and online stores that sell a lot of RPG books, and its pretty easy to order from online stores (amazon...) Specifically Dungeon/Dragon are very hard to come by, I talked with my FLGS store manager and he told me that with the shipping costs and his costs he...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo improved? probably a myth

    Warning: Kind of a rant Back in December Erik Mona started a thread here about dragon and dungeon magazines, and why people don't subscribe to them... it was an interesting read and in the end I was convinced. I've bought several issues while abroad and really enjoyed the new format of Dragon...

    Group names

    Our current Eberron group is named... The Undead Mechanical Werewolves We were playing 'shadows of the last war', we were in a dungeon and the half orc barbarian heard wolf sounds, so my ultra-cynical kalashtar character said something like "The way things are going I know those are undead...

    ENnies discussion thread

    I'm a bit abashed to offer my humble opinion after all the heated discussion :) I wanted to suggest, no matter what voting system you choose, if there will be ranking of products, to use a 1-5 scale. The reason is that ENWorld's review system works on a 1-5 scale, and people are familiar with...

    Long distance roleplaying

    Skype(http://www.skype.com) is a really good voice chat software(free). Its pretty much noise free (and I've used it germany-israel quite a lot), and in combination with other tools could be a god solution

    Who ELSE buys PDFs?

    I buy PDF's, though only from rpgnow so far because I think their prices are much more reasonable. I have that primal urge to print everything I buy but I'm really trying to fight it :). However, from amongst the 10 poeple I've played D20 with over the last 2 years I'm the only one who buys...

    I am part of the most incompetent adventuring group.

    Just to raise your spirits... we just finished that Eberron adventure. Our half-orc barbarian's brilliant scheme to crash the ball was to rob the orcish ambassador from his invitation on the way to the ball, the plan ended in much embaressment and wetness. Eventually we had to smuggle him inside...

    Why don't I get warm-tingly feelings when I buy a 3E product like in 1E/2E/Basic D&D?

    I'm 28 years old, been playing for 15 years now (although took a 4 year break before 3.0) and I still have that tingly feeling :) I've even begun buying the FR books now (even though I'm not playing it) and my eyes light up with every one I get... hope you get the feeling back ;) lior

    Eberron Adventures (Forge, Secrets, Whispers and Grasp): Best party composition?

    In the name of my conscience I must warn you of 'Whisper of the vampire's blade'. The rest of the Eberron adventures are ok but this adventure is a one way ticket to linear city. It's a cliche after cliche nightmare train with no stops to get off... sorry for being so dramatic but it nearly...

    Charles Ryan on Watermarked PDFs

    People who want to break the law will always succeed, see all the security measures the music industry tried to use. But the real success of these small non-intrusive measures is reducing the amount of piracy. It's harder now to trade in illegal pdf's and I estimate that will reduce traffic by...
