I got Expedition to Undermountain a few weeks back. (It was a Father's Day gift to me from my lovely wife.) I do think some of the hate on the boards for Expedition to Undermountain is a bit overstated, but I am also disappointed with it. It is not as useless as many posts have implied (or...

Daddy time is important! It sure does cut down the gaming time, though! ;) MattyHelms-- the Grandmaster! The Knower of Things That Should Not Be Known! Yay, Cthulu! I don't think I have met Marc Sasso-- is that the artist who did many Dragon covers? His work is pretty impressive if I have...

Yup-- it's Tom! Cool stuff, dude! It's wild how you can get to know folks just by seeing them a few days per year, as long as you spend enough time on those days. (FWIW, I missed seeing Yort mostly this GameDay, but I blame that on his oversleeping. ;) LOL) Heck, I seriously considered...

Holy cow!! The Book of Templates for $3.00?? That was a great book when I bought it at *full SRP*! At that price, I might need to buy some as gifts!!

My only regret was not following through on my instincts: I should have dumped my team, joined up with Jay as my long-lost barbarian half-orc kin, and stolen that Hammer ourselves. I mean, isn't that what orcs are *supposed to do*? :) I still liked thorindale's suggestion of mixing in the...

Hey, Gamedayers! Thanks for another great one! As always, Curt, your hospitality is very much appreciated. And, Buzz, you showman extraordinaire, I think you outdid yourself this time-- the only way to top the attendance for the Fall GD would be to inverse time itself, so that folks sign up...

Particle- This book sounds entertaining to me-- I am a big fan of grey morality characters (like in Paul Kemp's books-- go read them! Now!). I cannot quite tell from your post if it is played for laughs or straight action, though; which is it? EDIT: Holy Cow! Never mind! I just checked...

And folks say that spam mail is bad. Hah! Why, just yesterday I bought viagra from a surely-very-reputable-dealer at a deep discount, and look forward to receiving my half of $6.0 million once the foreign bank clears my small loan of $5,000! And tomorrow spam helps your Gamma World game!

I disagree with the "smart" premise; that entirely depends on the character's class and role within the party. Unless the party is willing to carry the extra baggage of an utterly useless member that just plain hides to avoid getting killed (which, as an aside would not be fun for most players...

Recent Errata on Half-Drow In the Drow of the Underdark book, it specifically amends the Half-Drow as written in FRCS to lose darkvision, and gain low-light vision instead. However, there is also a feat included in the book that lets Half-Drow recover many of the Drow racial features...

Man, that is pretty cool, pb. I have never played True20, nor even read the rules, but the system is intuitive enough as a d20 derivative that just looking at the character sheets I can see how it translates without even thinking hard about it. I look forward to the game, dude! Are those...

Castro- Good catch, dude! Since it was a bonus feat I was thinking that any warforged feat was eligible-- I did not read carefully enough. Hmm....

DM Jeff (and others with the book)- Is there any reference to the Matt Sernett article series on the WOTC site from a couple of years ago, converting Undermountain to 3E? I wonder if there is overlap or if they are complimentary, so that one could snag the on-line articles to buff up the size...

Swimming against the Stream I am going to go against the general tone of this thread and say that Drow of the Underdark was *excellent*. Honestly, when I first bought it I was worried that an all-drow book could not carry enough variety of material, but was pleased to be wrong. The authors...

Hey, CCH! I have another option for you to consider, posted below in the spoiler block. Bludgeon is a warforged fighter melee specialist. Using warforged feats, he gets extra slam attacks as secondary attacks. He would require some editing, but a good starting point for you, a level 5...

So far, most of the replies here are focused on the mechanics of the rogue class (e.g. sneak attack, trapfinding, high skill points, etc.). Personally, I think that on the whole they are distinct enough from the cleric, fighter, and wizard to justify another class. But, even if you changed the...

Nate- Could you work backwards to create a level progression chart to use it as a playable character? There are several books now (Libris Mortis and Dragonomicon, at least) that have examples for LA races that way.

Hey, Trev! I had the Alternity version and loved it, so I also picked up d20 D*M when it came out last year. You are right that most of the text is identical, so in that sense it is redundant. But, I expect it will save you a fair amount of conversion time if you want to use d20 Modern rules...

You might be thinking of a different alternate feature, but this reminds me of the Complete Champion alternative, which replaces Ki Strike (magic) with either Good or Evil versus DR based on the monk's alignment (i.e. LE monk's unarmed strikes are Evil vs. DR). I cannot remember the specific...
