    Why I refuse to support my FLGS

    Sure, they'll offer you products like any other BOOKSTORE, and they'll take your money like any other BOOKSTORE (maybe even smiling in the oprocess - money does that to some people, you know), but face it, they offer nothing in the way of incentive other than hanging out with a bunch of...

    Why I refuse to support my FLGS

    Now why don't you give ME a break. Not all gaming stores are to be found in strip malls. Sometimes people own what are called BUILDINGS, however small they may be, and they operate out of those BUILDINGS they OWN and DO NOT pay rent on them. I've seen it myself, and the results thereof. Wake...

    Why I refuse to support my FLGS

    My FLGS applys no discount whatsoever to their merchandise and that's enough to turn me away right there. It doesn't have to be a big discount, mind you, just a little something to show that they're competitive and that they care about their customers. 5% would do it, and that's not a lot...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    It might be a rendering of hell. In detail. With Asmodeus' fortress waiting for you at the end.That would pique my interest.

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    Uh, I think we've had enough 'rewrites' of the magic system til now, thank you. If it's Pholtus, then I'm just not interested. If, however, it is another Monte Mega-Adventure(tm), well then, that's a different story altogether.

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    I'll agree with a previous poster when I say that Beyond Countless Doorways was mostly likely Monte's attempt to prove that Planescape could once again be a viable setting. Nothing like sales figures to get one's point across. My money's on Planescape, but I'm holding out for Greyhawk; maybe...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    While his AE line has been quite popular among gamers in the know, Monte has been outside the buying mainstream that big companies like Wotc enjoys, and he knows it. Pholtus would be a labor of love, certainly, but not enough gamers know about it to make it a viable success overall. I suspect...

    Why I refuse to support my FLGS

    Any support for a FLGS goes way beyond keeping the business afloat.

    Stephen Colbert

    Yeah, I watched it when Kilborn was doing it and I remember feeling annoyed that they got rid of him for Stewart; I didn't think he was suited for the role in the way Kilborn had been. Heh, I couldn't have been more wrong about that one.

    Songs with great bass lines

    And one of the few examples given thus far that actually constitutes a bass-line.

    MAT bidding for Hasbro??

    I would happily buy it. Now where did I put that 50 million?

    MAT bidding for Hasbro??

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting the most out of my 3e/3.5 books, either.

    MAT bidding for Hasbro??

    It would be nice to see Wotc functioning as an independent company again, if such a thing were possible. Of course, I hope they finish the minis line before any changes take place. Hasbro HAS been good for the production of the little buggers. Some would say their being the mother hen made it...

    Why are these minis so hard to get off of eBay?

    Quite true, but instead they gave us the Lareth from 3e's 'Return to' version, which portrays him as a seriously messed-up looking guy. Not that I mind... I think the best Greyhawk minis have yet to appear, though. Iuz, and even Iggwilv, should make an appearance, though I can't ever recall...

    Most common cause of PC deaths

    Yeah, a case in point if there ever was one... I won't deny that players make bad choices (and I've made some doozies over the years), I'm just annoyed when a DM tries to assign stupidity to something that was unquestionably TPK material, because, let's face it, that's what subterfuge is all...

    Most common cause of PC deaths

    Mockery of players Sorry, but you're flat-out wrong; it's simple ignorance of (and arrogance generated by) one's position as DM. If you're holding all the cards and sit on high, everything your PCs do may well look stupid to you. Come down from your mountain for five minutes and realize that...
