For something really funny, go to OLDMANMURRY.COM and read the review on a computer game based on the freedom series.

It also has to do with product as well. Is it a good product? (btw, i am not saying it is good or is not :eek: ) It might be a steal at a dollar, but if it not a good product, well. Word of mouth goes a long long way also. (I almost did get it, but i am sure you would need a credit card, I...

Keep your opinion all you like. I'm not telling you that you can't. I'm just letting you know that it's based on factually incorrect premises. Nor did I argue that it was impossible to get around paying full price. Of course there are ways around it. What I said is that it's impossible, in the...

First off, I NEVER quoted a number, it was an offhand estimate. It was NEVER meant to be taken as a 'quote.' I used it to try to say that a small portion of the gaming people actually go to those conventions. Not everyone can go and see those items you were talking about that is the point I...

As far product diversity goes, most of the gaming world gets their products or news of products from two sources. Source one is the local bookstore or gaming store, source two is the internet. My hometown is a place called New Bedford, MA. do you want to know how many 'gaming' stores there...

Thank you, that is EXACTLY one of the things I was talking about.

I am sorry, I have to disagree 100%. To charge the prices that they do for the quality is NO where accurate. As I stated earlier, look at the quality of the products, read the reviews on the typos and other errors that are being put in those products (by WOTC primarily). I see NO...

'winging it' usually happens right after I say "You do WHAT?" Those are usually the memorable times. When the pc's do unexpected things. Things that will usually terminate an adventure. At that point, I have just sat there for a few seconds and thought about it in my head and just to do the...

I think I would rather play than run a game, but only with a good DM. I hate being in a game with a poor DM, it takes ALL the fun out of it. As a player I can be that character and have fun. I can explore new options and try things from a different perspective. I can be that dottering mage...

I gotta agree here. It can add a TON of roleplaying capability. Not all the skills get used. Why do not all the skills get used? The players and the DM. If the players don't ever WANT to use them, why should they? It also might be the characters the Players are running. If the DM has a...

For my 'horrible' list, anything by Ed Greenwood. I found just about ALL of his FR stuff to be a chore to finish. I think I from after a certain point, whenever I saw his name on the cover, I just left it there. I was never able to get into the stories he did. They just seemed so dry. Other...

This is pretty much how I handled it as well. Players rolled up stats, then they rolled d6 for hp. They were given similiar traits to above. I forgot how I handled it when they advanced to 1st lvl, xp wise. But, basically, when they hit lvl 1, they then chose their class and got some extra...

As far as top three go, hmmm. I had a pixie thief. His name was was Velm. The DM got tired of us playing the same races and classes. He wanted us to be 'different' for his new adventure. So we had a few people who chose some off the wall races/classes from the Darksun world and me with my...

That is very true, Amazon and other resources can greatly impact it. But, I still do not like the principle of it. Is it necessary to charge such high prices, not everyone should go to Amazon and other online places? I have often considered going to Amazon, but whenever I do, I just stop for...

You know what, I love the game, I wish I could find some gamers in my area. If I want to throw some new monsters at them, I will just go here, at ENWORD, and get some of the monsters that have been made/or converted or stick with the resources that I have and use the ones from my current stock...

there might be a ton of d20 games out there. I flip thru some of them sometimes, but they never seem to be quite as well done as the D&D published by WOTC. Monte Cook's stuff is good, and the Scarred Lands is good, although I have never played in either, but reading the stuff, it looks good...

I have seen a HUGE increase in cost. Just about everything is in the $20 (U.S.) price range or higher. The 'core' books for DND will run $90. So, it is a tough call, spend that $90 to upgrade to 3.5 or stay with 3. Then there are some of the other things out there, like: Book of Challenges...

All in all, from a players standpoint, it would have to depend on: -the character -the situation as to how I handled it. I agree with an earlier post about magic items becoming an extension of higher level characters. Items can become very important to them. I know I would be very upset if I...

"I still use my 2e core rules CD for flavor text on core monsters. Habitat, ecology, and society were much more fleshed out back then and provided more hooks for me to use than the raw combat stat emphasis of the current set. And I can get the color pictures off the WotC site for the current...

I have it, but never played it or ran it. But reading thru it, some of the descriptions were really good of the area.
