    Thumbs up to SkeletonKey Games e-Adventure Tiles

    I downloaded the free annual from RPGNow and was impressed with the tiles. I'll definitely be getting some of the wilderness sets before I DM again. I've got a bunch of Dwarven Forge for dungeon interiors but the wilderness tiles will be really nice for doing outside settings.

    Hexes or Squares?

    When I DM we use squares. Under our current DM we use hexes. The more we use hexes the more I don't like it. I'd rather use squares. Hexes make drawing regularly shaped rooms much to difficult. Then to try to determine if the bad guys is against a wall and people want to flank, what hexes...

    Anyone mind listing the online shops you know of that sell RPG products?

    I've used http://www.nobleknight.com a few times and have been very happy with them. They have a nice feature that only the stuff they have in stock shows up for purchase. And, if you select more of an item then they have in stock you'll get a message at the top of your shopping card saying as...

    Hit point generation methods

    My group plays that you can either roll or take the average. We allow re-rolls of 1's until something other than a one comes up. Becuase of the re-roll 1's thing the average goes to 3 for a d4, 4 for a d6, etc. Out of about seven players only one or two regularly roll, most just take the average.

    Rocketship Empires

    At the end of the 5 page preview on their website it said that it will be available on RPGNow. It does look very cool, too.

    [Adamant Entertainment] THRILLING TALES - Pulp for D20 Modern

    I'd like to see the same things as JPL. I'd like the stuff mentioned in his first paragraph as a stand alone product. I'm hoping the Gamemaster's Guide to Pulp Adventures will cover some (all?) of this. Then the other followups, such as JPL described, I could buy if they fit the type of...

    [Adamant Entertainment] THRILLING TALES - Pulp for D20 Modern

    Wow, at $2 for 6 pages, the Player's Handbook would have cost over $100! :eek:

    Dee or Die!! Do you say dee-6 or die-6?

    I pronounce it DEE-6. I pronounce if Drow as in Cow. My group's current DM has the big bad guys as Yuan-Ti, which he insists on pronouncing "You-La-Tan". We tried to correct him but it doesn't work, so we all decided that a "You-La-Tan" is a version of Yuan-Ti specific to his world.

    all-published module campaign

    Thanks, Klaus! I'll have to check those out. I've heard good things about NeMoran's Vault, but I can't say I've heard of the others.

    all-published module campaign

    I'm thinking of doing all modules for my next time DM-ing. I'm planning on: The Sunless Citadel Vault of Larin Karr City of the Spider Queen Them seem to hang pretty well together, with the underdark at least mentioned in all of them. I may need a short adventure or two from Dungeon between...

    Who Plan to Buy the LoTR Special Edition DVD trilogy boxed set?

    I'll throw in the with "already have the FOTR EE and the TTT EE, so won't buy the EE trilogy set" crowd. Wow, that's a lot of EE's in one sentence.

    Recommend a good fantasy boardgame?

    There's a fairly new game out called Runebound by Fantasy Flight Games. It's gotten some good reviews and seems to get compared to Talisman quite often. When my group can't play DnD we usually play Settlers of Catan, Bang!, and/or Puerto Rico! Boardgamegeek is a really good resource when...

    Diplomacy and Bluff roll made in my game... your assistance if you please.

    I'd give at least a +10 bonus to the Sense Motive check. To me the bonus would depend upon what the Draconian was supposed to be doing. If he was guarding the blacksmith shop to keep people out, the the bonus would be upwards of +20. If he was only on guard to keep the peace, he may only be...

    Poll on reviews, reviewers, and you

    I'll read a few reviews on a product I'm interested in and take them with a grain of salt. If there's a product that has a wide range of ratings, for example a 2 star review and a 5 star review, I'll be sure to read both of those to find out why the reviewers rated them the way they did. I...

    Am I the only 3.0 grognard left?

    For my group it's not so much what's "better" about 3.0 vs 3.5 it's that we don't really see anything wrong with 3.0 and the core books are already bought and paid for. We just didn't see any reason to re-buy the core books we have and that seem to work. For new stuff we just play mostly as...
