Thanks to everyone for their responses. But special thanks to Monte for taking time out of his busy schedule to respond. That was really kind of you. If Monte says I don't need it, then I don't need it! :)

Oops D'oh! Sometimes I forget that Crothian lives here in Columbus, too. Next time I'll buy first and ask later! ;)

Hello Arcana Unearthed/Evolved fans. I just recently gave my old copy of Arcana Unearthed to a friend and bought myself Arcana Evolved (but, sadly, I haven't had time to read it yet). I have never owned the Diamond Throne campaign setting book, but just today I saw it at a resale shop for half...

Who won? So, any word on who won the contest? I'm just curious... ;)

So, as you all know, I'm concerned about the Balance between Consulars and Guardians. I could give Consulars an extra skill point or 2 per level. But I'm more inclined to simply restrict Guardians from taking certain Force Skills. That seems to fit well with the fact that Guardians get fewer...

Hi everyone. I just recently decided to start a Star Wars d20 game using the Wizards of the Coast Revised Edition rules. Keep in mind, my players and I are used to D&D. This may help you answer our questions. Today I was helping one of the players with Character creation. And he asked a...

Recently I've been playing Knights of the Old Republic II, and it has got me thinking about trying a Star Wars d20 game with my gaming group. So I dusted off my copy of Star Wars (Revised) from Wizards of the Coast. And as I look more closely at the mechanics, I find that I like the mechanics...

Summary: NeMoren's Vault is an excellent introductory adventure for low level characters and for players and DMs who are new to 3rd edition D&D. After playtesting it with a group of 2nd level characters, I recommend it highly (especially if you are able to find it at a resale shop at a reduced...

First, Kai Lord, you are AWESOME! What a cool idea to have a contest like this! Second, I'm *such* a big Wayne Reynolds fan. I couldn't believe it when I actually got the chance to shake his hand at GenCon last year. I was the very model of a pathetic, geeked-out, drooling fanboy. (But if...

That's funny, Eric, I got today off from school, too. But I didn't get a snow day; I got a flood day. Explanation: The roads leading to my school are flooded. Since the buses can't get through, they gave us the day off. Hey, I'll take a free day any way I can get one! (Of course, this does...

Hi Eric. I'm maybe even more conservative about the fancy bells and whistles of 3rd edition than you are. I've never used a prestige class or a metamagic feat *or* a template as either a player or DM. I agree with you that often these extra bells and whistles just make everyone's life more...

I have two 6-foot-tall book shelves full of gaming material. I own pretty much everything that was ever produced for the Greyhawk, Planescape, Dark Sun, Al-Qadim, and Birthright settings as well as a bunch of Ravenloft and Spelljammer and a little bit of FR. I still pull old 1st and 2nd...

Awww, man... You mean I missed a sale of $5 hardbacks from the Legends and Lairs line? That sucks!!! Did news of this sale ever appear on the ENWorld news page? If so, how did I miss it? (If not, why not?)

This is a very careful, detailed review, but it fails to answer my very first question about the product: what are "races of destiny"? Perhaps you are assuming that all of your readers know something about the book already. But in my case at least, that assumption is incorrect. So perhaps...

I, too, have tons of gaming material that I never have (and probably never will) use. I've never counted them all, but I have just recently filled my second 6 foot tall bookshelf with gaming material. Why do I keep it all (and continue buying more)? Good question. My wife frequently asks me...

There are facing rules in 3rd edition! (Disclaimer: I am still playing 3.0, so if this has been fixed in 3.5, I'd be interested to learn about it.) Take a look at page 77 of the 3.0 DMG. Under the description for "Gaze Attacks" (2nd column, 3rd bullet, first sentence) the rule reads as...

Here, here! Couldn't agree more.

I want to make sure that my understanding of these rules is correct. (So please correct me if I'm wrong/you disagree.) There is a -4 penalty for firing into a melee that involves a friendly character. But this has nothing to do with cover. The -4 is there just because you are (presumably)...

D'oh! I forgot that the premier of Enterprise was Friday. Anybody know if UPN plans to re-run it any time soon? (For example, I recall that UPN used to replay episodes of Voyager late on Sunday nights. Do they do the same with Enterprise?)

If you look at page 16 of the 3.0 Player's Handbook, "Aramil" is the first name listed under the MALE NAMES subheading for elves. One of my fellow players also has a PC named Aramil, and I was disappointed when I recently found the name on the list and discovered how lame my friend really is...
