    Arcane Adversaries

    "Next comes a series of magical families, starting with the Sylvestries who work under the concept of a bloodline sworn over to demons, in particular one known as 'The Dragon'....Of curious note in this family are the names of two of its branches – the McFarlanes and the Liefelds – names of two...

    Dundjinni & Gridsmith - best for battlemaps?

    Interesting. Where do you gank your tiles from? That, I hope, shouldn't be a problem - the mac is a dual 1.8 G5 with a Gb of RAM and it's pretty much handled anything I've thrown at it so far with ease. Since you've used both, could you give me an example of why DJ is harder to use than...

    Rewritten Swashbuckler

    I'm going to disagree with you here - I think it works perfectly. See, the primary damage from a piercing weapon is always going to be from hitting something vital. That's why they were invented in the first place - you're going deep, trying to hit a blood vessel or organ or something that you...

    The difference between too little/too much campaign setting support?

    That's what doors and boots is for. Although I agree, I prefer not to have to deal with it in the first place. J

    How do you organize your gaming collection?

    Wow. That's a lot of people that organize by company. I used to, too (makes it look all nice) but the wife complained she never could find anything. So I reorganized it all: Player Books, DM Books (including rules variants), Monster Books, non D&D D20, Generic Setting Books, Specific Settings...

    What's your favorite CRPG?

    Just, for the love of whatever you hold dear, don't play the mind-numbing festering heap of sores packaged with it. J

    Won a contest, help me spend my prize money

    I had all 3 of the originals (in PDF, admittedly) and having them all collected, in hardbound form, with all of the spells in one place, all of the feats in one place, etc is just great. I hated having to say "OK, I know that's from one of the Eldritch Might books...it's not in II...oh, no...

    Encountering anti-D&D sentiment

    Is there anything he can't turn into 'original D&D is superior'? "I was walking down to the grocery store today when I saw a man walking a small dog. (The original rules for small dogs set out by Gary Gygax were of course far superior to the d02 rules.) At the store I purchased my groceries...

    Dundjinni & Gridsmith - best for battlemaps?

    Well, that combined with the Mac version makes a pretty powerful argument. Thanks, all! I'll wait patiently for Fluid to announce they've finished up.

    Spectacular Spider-Man cancelled by Marvel.

    This will just open up a slot for them to start a new Spider-Man series, with a new #1, and all the extra sales that brings.

    Is it OK to distribute others' OGC for free?

    Even setting aside legality, the quality of most of the PDFs available through p2p networks is abysmal, and most of them are not OCRed so you can't cut & paste - thus removing one of the primary advantages of the PDF format. Given that, I can see a definite use for an online archive of OGC in a...

    Monster-free? Monster-lite?

    My Freeport game is mostly human(oid) opposition, with some exceptions. There's been outbursts of undead (which were once human) and the lost island with all the dinosaurs, but the actual monsters are pretty rare (and frequently part of some nefarious cultist plot).

    Reinventing the Wheel: changing common D&D tropes

    These are from my (currently on hiatus) Freeport game. True - but the PCs aren't adventurers - they started out as cops, and now their a noble and a crimelord. In fact, they generally regard adventurers like people who live in tourist traps regard tourists - annoying, stupid, and with far too...
