Yes, as Monte has often pointed out, the high-magic assumptions of D&D are taken to a logical conclusion in Ptolus. What I love about Ptolus personally, though, has little to do with rules; I love that this particular logical conclusion is both interesting and full of flavor, and not nearly so...

Seriously. Me too. Ptolus is of a higher quality that is several orders of magnitude than any gaming product I've ever seen. This single product alone is enough to keep me from wanting to try anything else. I guess I could always adapt the setting to another system ... but I'm not sure the...

Seconded. I love that book. Chocked full of well-thought out & well-written ideas. Also, check out OD&D Test of the Warlords in the Companion (CM) series of adventures. Test of the Warlords is the best in so far as it lays out a year-long campaign based around running a newly established...

Miky is how she spells it (short for Maricella), but she pronounces it MEE-key. Thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure to have you, Colonel. You're always welcome in our house. Since it turns out that we're next door neighbors, we should endeavor to hang out from time to time. We'll...

Thanks, Piratecat!

Well, I got to hang out with Grodog ALL day today. What a blast! Very cool cat. We met up with Col Hardisson, enjoyed a delightful dinner, and then retired to my parlor where we geeked out ... A LOT. Grodog regaled us with gaming lore as only he can. It was educational. (edit: Piratecat resized...

Now I want to meet BadPepper. His last two posts on this thread tickle me just so. You funny man.

Be Jealous ... I'm looking forward to meeting these two guys tomorrow! Judging from all the posts here, Lord Grodog and His Majesty Col Hardisson are at the top of a few people's lists, including my own. I am truly priviledged. Everyone: proceed with the smoldering jealousy. Go ahead.

That'd be me. I still do, really.

The revised edition comes with the steel d20 and a cd. The cd has .jpgs of all the area effects so you can print them out on cardstock and make as many as you'd like. It has some other stuff too, I'll post about it when I get the chance.

http://crystalcaste.com/ check out their dwarven stone dice. coolest dice.

This is the best thread I've ever read.

This is a really good idea. I can't believe this isn't part of the core rules.

Not trying to be a jerkus-malloy or anything, but the 20-sider is actually not pewter; it's brushed steel. It matches the set of dwarven dice from crystal caste. I mention this only in the intrest of folks who want to buy it. It is freakin' awesome though. I loved it so much I bought a whole set...

Necromancer Games, baby.

ColonelHardisson ... we have something in common. I moved to San Diego from the Cleveland area 4.5 years ago (after graduating from Oberlin). You, too, should shoot me an email sometime. I'm just starting a Ptolus campaign if you're looking for a game. :)

good thread, fellows. you all convinced me to give it a try as well.

I have a couple questions about 1st edition WFRP. Is anyone familiar with the first Realms of Sorcery book written by Ken Walton? If so, is it recommended? The authors themselves admit that the magic system was both rushed and flawed; this was supposed to fix it. Does it? Second question--in...

portable property ... a reference to charles dickens' masterpiece great expectations. portable property is a safer investment than banks which may suffer from bankruptcy, or even static property that may be forclosed upon, aged father.

From Wizards' own ad copy ... "Spell Compendium is the one place to find spells that are referenced time and again: the best, most iconic, most popular, and most frequently used." It's just more convenient for DM's to look spells up, and for players when packing a backpack. I actually don't...
