The only "in game issue" I've ever had is the lag, and that is usually only particularly bad after some patches or in Iron Forge during peek hours (They need to put an auction house in Darnassus to help even that player load out for that). I appreciate weekly downtime (the Tuesday server...

*sigh* tact-tiles. If they made a wet erase version I'd have two of the big sets already. I'm just no comfortable enough with dry erase. Oh well, I have several (5) chessex mats so I'm good for the time being.

Perhaps my view is skewed due to my involvement in the Shadowrun community, but I see Germany as a major player as far as the consumption of role playing games. I'm not sure how big fantasy d20 games are over there as they have their own fantasy RPG (Das Schwarze Auge) which has a following...

Glad to hear you are considering the reprint. And the "culture builder" chapter idea has me even more excited about the prospect than before. For 'marketing research' sake, $50 is about as much as I can budget for a really good book of this sort. It *has* to feel good knowing you've...

Great news! This supplement was/is one of those rare, 3rd party, gems that make the whole open gaming concept worth it. I can't imagine a world builder or game master not having this item somewhere on the bookshelf. (I should really do a review, huh?) As for a future printing. Combine it with...

I get my D&D minis from them. They aren't super responsive to emails, likely because they get so many, but my orders are always timely and shipped properly. I've ordered two cases of every expansion, with the exception of Harbinger, from them. And I've had no complaints. I tend to preorder as...

Dice were my miniatures for the longest time, and remain my stand-ins for odd encounters now that I've upgraded to plastic D&D minis. I had a ton of d10's from my White Wolf years. 10 different colors, with 10 dice per color, gave me the ability to uniquely identify up to 100 pieces on the table...

This is seriously tough... My first instinct is to say that he was Chaotic Neutral, taking the shortest and most direct path to an end without particular concern for how good or bad that end was. If this is the case then he was probably Chaotic Good in his younger years, doing the same things...

The flurry attacks can be with any weapon, but the extra attacks taken from two weapon fighting are specifically taken with the "off hand weapon". Right?

I don't have much in the way of links. I did most of my research on a work computer and I make sure not to save links at work. I also clear my history every night. I got a bunch of it from the forums for Carnivale linked to on the HBO site for the show. The forums are weird. It's all basically...

It was great, and I've been wondering why the show isn't discussed here. Sophie seems evil. Thus far no Avatar has been given a choice between good and evil, although it has been made clear that an Avatar can choose not to use the powers they have for the purposes they were given (Scudder is the...

I could not agree more. If D&D were to get mainstream advertising time, this would be the best way to represent it as well IMHO. D&D, and roleplaying in general, did exactly what you are saying for me. While my friends were getting high, getting into fights, and getting arrested for various...

One more vote for Elements of Magic (Revised). That book goes on my 'top ten d20 books any DM should own' list.

I still only have Western Europe. I've been meaning to pick up Ecology and Culture. XP puts out some really amazing products, especially for the aspiring world developer. I've been working on a home brew which calls for a mostly new cast of animals and monsters alike. It sounds like Beast...

I think (and I believe I've read this in a book somewhere) it has less to do with the creativity of those involved in the creation and more to do with the ability of those reading/playing the setting to visualize or conceptualize it. If you stick with what your readers/players know, they will be...

I'd like to echo that. I love the idea of all three, but if I'm going to have all three I want them to feel different (and a little flavor text just doesn't do it for me). I like freeform systems, but tend to play with players who don't do as well when playing in them. If I could get a more...

I don't think your strange. Every game master runs his or her games differently. Some contain strong religous or moral themes, while others would rather stay away from these political land mines and just have fun. Some touch on very adult themes, while others would rather stay away from these...

As far as the quote goes... It's been my .sig here pretty much since the day I joined. I've always loved that quote, the Openheimer story, and the powerful way the words feel when put together like that. As far as Death in my campaign. Death holds no power in my current homebrew. When a...

I'm curious to what you mean by 'took it over' and exactly what they did to ruin it. I'm curious about the big changes in the new edition, but not worried. I'm happy to see some new life blown into an old friend, and can't wait to see what the results are (good or bad). As far as the d20...

I am a Shadowrun fan, and definately someone who is happy to see Shadowrun will be keeping its original mechanic (albeit streamlined), but I find that argument silly. The Shadowrun mechanic has no gimmick, which makes it as generic a base mechanic as that of d20. You could absolutely make a d20...
