1974 seems to be pretty skewed. Odd to me that so many would be in that year specifically and not at least spread out over a 3 or 4 year area. I bet the admins could give us a more definitive count, since the forums store our birth dates (so long as we entered them honestly).

Neat idea, now that you mention it I don't think I've ever seen rules for commerce/trade for 3e. I think this would make for an excellent supplement. You could cover a trade mechanic, how to determine what comodities an area would likely have and need, and maybe place values on some things that...

You would have to look this up to verify it, the far east isn't really an area I study with any regularity, but I think it had something to do with a caste system for the most part. Different casts would wear different hairstyles. Of course there were other reasons to shave ones head outside of...

1976, bicentennial babies unite! ...or whatever.

Whether it's used as it is intended or just used as yet another delicious tool to customize EoM for our campaigns, I think many of us would like to see it. I know I'll be buying it, and most anything else in the EoM line so long as the products continue to advance the magic system I've come to...

Half Elves A hugely popular choice in previous editions. The only one I've seen so far in 3e has been a half drow. It's simply not worth it anymore with better choices available at the same cost.

I think my definition of rules light might just be a little different. I find D&D to be very easy to run (although I certainly don't consider myself a master of the system by any account). I run it to get a break from games like Shadowrun, which I love but find more taxing to run and much more...

That is pretty much my response word for word, as well. I won't bash C&C. Nothing wrong with other people liking it. D&D *is* my rules light system. It does everything I need it to, and it has support from multiple publishers doing all sorts of interesting things to tempt me out of my money.

Is this serious, or just a troll? This might be a fine game for a group of older teenagers in a private environment who consensually agree that this is the sort of game they want to play. I ran some pretty twisted stuff for my friends as a kid too. But... Crack dens? Torture/rape scenarios...

As others have said, the tools are already there. I've got no problem with the characters meeting groups of higher level humanoids as long as some plausible reason exists for their higher levels. It has to be a little more than what WoW gives you, which is basically "the more powerful gnolls...

Negative: I house rule. I world build. I run campaigns that have definitive ends. Positive (sorta): I use character's backgrounds within my campaigns, or as sub-campaigns, to pull the players' interest into the story. I'm known to twist and pull on those backgrounds, and my players joke about...

Yeah, I understand that. But, just to push the idea one last time, they wouldn't have to call themselves vampires or even resemble what we consider vampires to be. Murderous socialites with superhuman strength and the ability to move quickly and stealthily in the dark. No fangs or (obvious)...

They've since been touched on, but I don't mind posting a little something as well. <<disclaimer! I've researched Voodoo on my own time in the past. I don't practice voodoo, nor do I claim to be an authority. My information could be wrong, but should be fine for fictional gaming.>> Voodoo is...

Heh, how about a side quest where they have to save a popular author who lives in the area from a group of low power vampires (to be used only for this encounter and not as a constant presence in the game) who are trying to "silence" her because she has gotten to close to the truth in her well...

I think it's a neat idea. You are already using voodoo as a smaller threat, so using it as your primary threat may be too much. I love the idea of a Legion (X men) type character only instead of being insane and each of his personalities having a power he is a powerful Houngan who can call upon...

Shadowrun would be my number one pick, and would likely find a decent audience since it uses so many of the fantasy elements people ejoy but puts them into a modern setting (with modern games being one of the smallest niches). It would have done better before Matrix Online came out, but I don't...

I'm interested to see how they went about doing a modern/future campaign setting. How much dependency is there for the Modern/Future books? It looks like an excellent product. I was a bit concerned at first as some of the basic story elements I had heard sounded very similar to a setting I've...

I'm not saying the game isn't valid or that those people playing it aren't fully enjoying a good game. I'm just saying that I decided not to invest what works out to be a huge portion of my gaming dollars on a game that doesn't appear to be as well supported as I would prefer. I'll play the game...

Why choose? Minis and role playing go hand in hand. I don't play the mini games, but I use them for role playing. So I guess my vote goes for the role playing game by default. But I invest into at least 2 cases of each D&D mini expansion, and considered doing the same for the SW minis. What...

Lots of interesting responses. Mine would be... A complete setting. Every rule, feat, spell, or whatever that pertains to the setting is included. A detailed history is included. All sorts of plot elements that you could use for campaigns are included. It could be a new setting, a setting made...
