    Do You Write In Or Modify Your Game Manuals?

    I used to put my name in books when I had some friends of questionable trust in high school, but that's about it.

    Cling to the ceiling?

    You could also set the DC easier than you'd normally expect if you just say there's stuff on the ceiling to hang on to. Hooks for hanging stuff, rafters, old tapestry anchors, chandeliers (sp?).

    FUDGE Dice shortages (Dresden Files)

    I can't say it's the cause of the shortage, but it rocks. They've taken a well-established, licensed IP and made an extremely smooth game that "feels" right on every point. That's tough to do when you're playing in someone else's sandbox, but they did it. They're more similar than the same...

    D&D in Target?!?!

    Actually she's going back and forth between the "Secrets of Droon" and "Little House on the Prairie". But I know if there was D&D fiction on the same level as "New Jedi Academy" and I said, "these are wizard and dragon books like Daddy's game," she'd be all over them.

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    If people talked about me on the internet in the same way they talk about folks at WotC, you probably wouldn't see much of me either.

    D&D in Target?!?!

    This and then some. My daughter is going through these 100-or-so page young readers fantasy books faster than the library can get them in. There's a bazillion* Young Jedi Whatever Star Wars ones just a shelf over. Why not D&D based fantasy, too? *Yes, a full bazillion. I asked the librarian.

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    Mearls' real evil hasn't even been unleashed. 5e will not only be a different system, it'll be based around the d21. It invalidates all your old material AND all your old dice.

    RPGs in Target!

    They make a big deal of not doing that at Walmart. Reselling after your employee discount or holding merchandise aside until after your shift (short stocking) were fast-tracks out the door, especially in Electronics.

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    Talk about a poor-man's Mike Mearls.

    D&D 4E 4e Darksun Modern?

    Jawas + "Pimp My Ride" = that :cool:

    Monster Vault

    I'm always up for more monsters, especially if they're mostly Heroic tier. The counters would be nice, too. Unfortunately, I may just wait until they drop into DDI. Counters are only so much use when you DM online and have no scanner.

    The Pinnacle of your Collection

    I'd have to say it's probably my 1e DMG that Gary Gygax signed for me at the last GenCon I was able to attend. Not in pristine condition, or even that rare, but its mine. Prior to getting that, I'd say it was my copy of World of Synnibar and it's only known supplement. I was kind of proud to...

    Mike Mearls Ruined Everything

    Ever since the honorable gentlemen over at the Bear Swarm Podcast told me about Mike Mearls, I haven't wanted anything to do with the guy.

    Real world place names that would make awesome fantasy names

    Iron Mountain and Crystal Falls are both within a couple hours' drive of me. I gotta use one or both of those in a game someday.

    Essentials - calling a spade a spade

    If they had: called all the new builds PHB4 put all the updated rules in DMG3 and just issued a new MM4 Would anybody really give a crap? Really?

    grimtooth's dungeon of doom

    Yikes! Who did they tick off enough to make that their final reward?

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    I took a look at OpenRPG. It struck me as the kind of thing that would be four quarts of awesome if I could only figure out how to make it work. Kinda like Campaign Cartographer.

    Warlock curse on a crit

    I think your order of operations is right. I always thought just the [W] got maximized, but I can't find a source for that right now. Also, based on the Compendium, Hunter's Quarry and Warlock's Curse have pretty much the same wording now. I assume the errata document says the same thing, but...

    grimtooth's dungeon of doom

    I wouldn't send them in at all unless you just want to spectacularly kill all your characters. If that's your plan, then the level doesn't really matter. Its an entertaining read, but the whole place is just a bunch of one-room TPKs.

    Virtual Tabletop software?

    I started with ScreenMonkey and I really just can't recommend it. I don't know where all the talk about programming is coming from for MapTool. All I've ever done is make up some basic die macros and everything works fine for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. :)
