    WotC -- Worst Excerpt EVAR!

    Behold, the Greatwyrm of Legacy! Wow, that does feel good, doesn't it. Anyway, the earlier preview of Desert Wind caught my interest. Weapons that grow with you are an idea I like. The mind flayer just kinda makes me scratch my head.

    $240 dollars worth of puddin'

    We had the two-forty. We had to have the puddin'. :cool:

    How do you like your steak prepared?

    I like mine medium or medium-well. My wife, on the other hand, just likes hers hurt really badly.

    "Monte Cook Presents" Iron Heroes?

    If Al Verrecchia has any significant name recognition in the D&D market and has direct and regular input on the content of D&D books, then yes. Since I'm guessing the answer to both of those is 'no', it's not really an apples-to-apples comparison.

    Head disintigrated = Instant Death.

    Check out Torn Asunder. I think it might be along the lines of what you're looking for. I think you can get it at RPGnow.

    "Games are neither art nor media." - Censorship push

    And I think that pretty much says it all right there. You know, just a few days ago, another politician was getting indicted for corruption here. I actually heard the director of the local FBI field office remark that while they had to go looking for corruption in other places, they were...

    couple of RotS questions (spoilers)

    Forgive me, but don't Bambi, The Lion King, and Finding Nemo all have a parent of the lead character die in the first 15 minutes?

    couple of RotS questions (spoilers)

    I've not seen RotS, but... In The Prince, Machiavelli says that if you're left with a group you can't trust, kill all of them but one. That guy will be loyal. Palpatine certainly couldn't trust any of the other Jedi, but if he saved Vader, he knows he'd be loyal. Also, it's not necessarliy...

    Why D&D is slowly cutting its own throat.

    The value of anything, IP or otherwise, is what the market will pay for it. It really doesn't matter how good adventures are if people aren't buying them. I think the current marketing of fluff, more novels and some in the crunch books, is a pretty good arrangement right now. Plenty of people...

    WWE KNOW YOUR ROLE Demo

    Just a quick bump. Did everybody see the ad in the new Dragon? Hardcore Holly finally makes the spotlight! Okay, I realize I may be the only guy who likes Bob Holly... Anyhow, I believe the book will be ready before SummerSlam. June-ish was the last estimate I heard. Check with your...

    Need Non-Combat Wilderness Encounters

    Thanks, all. There are a number of things in here that got me thinking again. Just what I needed.

    Need DM advice or help

    Put a very important (and possibly deadly) encounter in a very small space. You really shouldn't try becoming something more than Large in a 10' tunnel.

    Need Non-Combat Wilderness Encounters

    Anybody have advice on building non-combat wilderness encounters? It feels like all the game is becoming for my group is walking from one fight to the next. Don't worry about terrain or setting, I can use any help you'll lend.

    Unexpectedly Useful Items

    Never leave home without pitons. Climbing. Hold doors open. Hold doors closed. Poor improvised weapon. Improvised chisel. Also good for casting spell effects centered on an item that you really don't want to be moved easily.

    Selling your unwanted stuff

    I'd recommend trying to sell or trade stuff here first. Then go to eBay. eBay's fees are pretty reasonable, but if you can move the stuff without paying them, why not do so? Plus, it's hard to find a bigger concentration of D&D fans online than here. Put together a list and post them here...

    Is it "wrong" to not like other systems?

    Well, there's nothing wrong about just having an opinion. You've seen other stuff and like d20 better. So what? I've read, played, and/or owned dozens of different systems over the years. I've basically come to the point where I like d20 and HERO better than pretty much everything else. I...

    Warlock Lich?

    If you think it would be cool and you're the GM, it's allowed. All the spell casting vs. spell-like ability arguments are pretty fine hairs to split if it keeps you from getting a cool bad guy.

    CR on a trap

    Wow, they fit a whole cup of milk in that trap! :) I don't think I'd use a trap like that, but if I did, I'd probably put it around a CR 14. A wish trap should be a CR 10. The triggered plane shifting should be about that, too. Two CR 10s are a 12. I'd bump it up two more for the...

    Is Oriental Adventures OG?

    If it isn't in the SRD and it doesn't have the Open Gaming License in the back, then it isn't open. That applies to just about any product.

    OGL but not D20 clarification?

    Product Identity and Open Gaming Content are mutually exclusive. One cannot be both (1). Product Identity really only protects the specific names of stuff like spells, magic items, and monsters, and then only if you specify you want to protect them. Otherwise, you can take any OGL spell...
