    Colin McComb issues apology for the Complete Book of Elves

    Well, that just put anything he'll be working on in my Do Not Buy list.

    Anyone know of a website with instruction on building a secret door in a house?

    If you are planning on filling those bookshelves with gaming books, don't skimp on the hinge quality. Fully loaded, you could be looking at over 200 lbs of books. I could easily see a prefab kit or a DIYer overlooking that detail and trapping someone when the hinges bend or wear away...

    Pathfinder 1E So far not impressed with Pathfinder

    I had high hopes for pathfinder, but a few key issues really killed things for me. One of the biggest was removing area dispel from Dispel Magic. Then on top of that, having Dispel Magic only effect one spell killed one of the few failsafes against overbuffing.

    Minecraft vs. RPGs

    I'd rather pay Minecraft on a multiplayer server than play a game of 3.5E, Exalted or 4E. Single player minecraft makes the world feel way too empty after a few dozen hours of play.

    Shadowrun 5E coming soon

    Full disclosure, I haven't looked at much shadowrun since the 90's, So I'll ask... Are new Shadowrun Editions minor upgrades and improvements like Chaosiums Call of Cthulhu / AD&D 1E to 2E or are they whole rebuilds of the game like AD&D2e to D&D3E / D&D3.5 to D&D4E.

    Best non-eBay way to sell comic trades?

    Excellent advice! A gift to the next generation is the best value one can get out of much of the deluge of so called 'collectible' items.

    OOTS #877

    Really dig how many ways the comic can go from this point. Durkon might not be home free yet depending on how :devil:

    OOTS 0876

    The spell still has to have no somatic components and any materials have to already be in hand.

    No, I'm not using that book.

    Revivify is a game changer type spell, if it is allowed in the campaign, it is right up there or maybe even beyond Dispel Magic & Heal. Not preparing it is a dereliction of healer duty. You are not just saving your allies life, you are saving their LEVELS. I can see why the GM would question a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Legend Lore says 'story not rules' (3/4)

    Where did you get that notion? My words were "To me it looks like WOTC wised up, accepted there are people are happy with the editions they already know and trying to please them with 5E is just not worth the development effort for the little extra money it would garner." if that needs further...

    Best non-eBay way to sell comic trades?

    Well, I'd guess make your own Amazon seller page. http://www.amazon.com/gp/seller-account/mm-product-page.html You'll still be at the mercy of a "Screw the seller" set of policies, FYI. Not to mention you'll be competing with folks with warehouses of rock bottom prices.

    OOTS 0876

    Wow, Rich has been cranking the comics out! Really digging Malak, enjoyable to Evil characters who value their friends. Adds some depth, as opposed to Death's Little Helper, who just up and whacked Buggy Lou because Lou thought the cat looked tasty.

    Castle Caldwell and Beyond - your experiences?

    It took a bunch of adventures, clipped out large chunks of content and context leaving behind a book of bare bones dungeons. It was the first material I ever ran for D&D and while I did a poor job, the book's one savings grace was it swiftly made me realize it is important for running a game to...

    Oots 870: Death in the Family

    Cure? You seriously think they are going to cure him? Why on earth do you think they would Resurrect the little monster? Prophesy aside, not being a fool is a requirement for high level cleric spells. Once the OOTS puts vampiric thrall Belkar down, he stays down. Forever.

    [Trailer] Game of Thrones Season 3

    They feel their bread and butter is cable subscriptions. Myopically they think long wait times = people encouraged into signing up to add HBO to their cable service. This is the reality... http://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones
