    My nephew just turned 7...

    Over this last Christmas I introduced my then 7 year-old nephew to D&D via the new Basic Set. He loved it. In fact, in a strange moment in my life as a gamer, my parents for the first time ever showed an interest in the game. It was an interesting scene, my nephew, two of my sisters, my...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    Well, we have a year before any rushing-out-and-buying can occur. I have a feeling there is a lot more to this than a simple campaign setting. 640 pages? Over a year of dedicated development? This sounds like an awful lot for a standard campaign setting. I will take Monte at his word that...

    my loot pt. 2 (pimping the FLGS)

    I don't recall if I mentioned it in the other thread but, thanks for the heads up on Lost Worlds. I visited it a week or two ago and it is a very nice shop. I didn't get any gaming stuff, but their collection of paperbacks grabbed some of my cash. I plan on heading up there again soon (making...

    Pathfinder 1E Check Out the Pics of Paizo's Compleat Encounter Minis

    Those look great! I guess I better start painting my Chainmail drow collection so that they will have some friends. Will there be any sneak peeks of the map-tiles? Thanks for the heads up Mr. Strohm!

    What do you wish was made into a game?

    Dune D20 (the game that got me interested in 3E to begin with) Nausicaa World of the Waterborn, by Greg Keyes - great setting.

    [Green Ronin] Announcing True20 Adventure Roleplaying

    This is great news! I was hoping something like this would come along after hearing about Blue Rose's system (although I do still intend to pick up Blue Rose when I can ante up enough scratch). Thanks Green Ronin, you guys are always making great stuff ("Leading the Way" and all, I guess)...

    What made Al-Qadim special?

    Jeez, Mousferatu, between your desire to do a real Basic D&D and a new AQ I think I'm in love (which I'm sure my wife wouldn't apporve of). Anyway, I think it would be pretty cool if you could pull out an Arabian game as a follow up to Hamunaptra As far as the political climate, posh. This is...

    Variant Player's Handbooks -- Who do you want to write one?

    I mentioned in an earlier incarnation of this thread that I would like to see Chris Pramas take the variant PHB route for Dragon Fist. Essentially make it the "Wuxia PHB". I would also like to see Jonathan Tweet write one, I mean, the man gave us Ars Magica- he's got to have some great...

    What made Al-Qadim special?

    Al-Qadim was my favorite setting, well, IS my favorite setting, so I am a little given to gushing about it, but I will try to keep it concise here. As far as crunch goes, the most significant difference to standard D&D was that every character was required to take a kit. The kits were all very...

    D6 Fantasy, anyone played it?

    I completely forgot RPG.Net and Gamewyrd, I'll have to do that. I was planning on looking at Warhammer one of these days. My interest in D6 Fantasy has to do with my familiarity with the rules from Star Wars. I liked that it was a very fast and straightforward system. Thanks for the...

    D6 Fantasy, anyone played it?

    I have been curious about this game since I heard it announced. I am a big fan of Star Wars D6, and always thought the system would handle fantasy well. Anyone here have any experience with this game? Heck, I'd be happy with impressions from anyone who has had a chance to look through it...

    Reviews of Talislanta D20?

    Thanks for all the info and opinions folks. I'm a bit hesitant about Tal20 now. I was primarily hoping to be able to plug their races into my homebrew. I am also interested in Talislanta for the sake of Talislanta, so perhaps I should look at the 4th ed of their system. Can't wait for...

    Reviews of Talislanta D20?

    Thanks so much Jai Kel! Looks like I'm going to have to get this one. Numerous typos drive me nuts (having been an editor), but I can live with it as long as the meaning is clear. The magic system sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to tinkering around with it. I think what I was mainly...

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    I have to agree with DnDChick on this, read the series, if only for the additional information on Nausicaa's world. I love the new DVD, it's a beautiful piece of work, and like all of Miyazaki's films makes me want to employ a lot more flying into my games. I have never made an actual Nausicaa...

    anyone still play West End Games d6 Star Wars?

    Sadly, no. I loved that system. I have been tempted to get WEG's new D6 Fantasy for a change of pace from D20 D&D. I guess my old gaming group back home still plays a regular D6 Star Wars game, I should get in touch with them again . . . if only it wasn't an 18 hour drive to see them.

    Reviews of Talislanta D20?

    Anyone with a copy willing to give a general impression? I don't need anything in depth, but I am very interested in knowing how it turned out, especially the magic system. Morrigan Press, how about sending Joe a copy (or Psion, or any of the reviewers here at EnWorld)? I 'd be interested in...

    Reviews of Talislanta D20?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows of any reviews out there of Tal20. I noticed there aren't any here on EnWorld, and a google search didn't turn up much. Anyone who has it want to give a mini review? I have been curious about Talislanta for several years, and if the D20 version looks good...
