I read them cover to cover - eventually. Problem is, I buy 'em faster than I can read 'em :) TGryph

I placed my pre-order last night :D TGryph

Seconded. Good Advice. Maybe you don't have to get involved, but don't be an enabler to that kind of activity. TGryph

I recently posted this question, wanting to run a one-shot with my old gaming group. Ended up buyiing In Media Res - The Temple of Mysteries from Malhavok Press. Got it done in just under four hours and had a great time - and only 5 bucks. TGryph

Thanks for the Heads Up. Finally I got an affordable copy of Faerie. TGryph

Starting my 27th year next month. TGryph

Just a thought. Whenever I (as GM) tell somebody "Sorry, you can't do that", invariably their response is "why?" THEN you gotta find the rule to explain it to them. Is this the problem with rules-heavy games like 3.5E? Maybe time would be better spent for the GM to figure out how something CAN...

Well guys, I can't say she is the perfect gaming wife, but mine is a keeper. I started playing D&D right after we got married. She tried it, didn't like it, but supported my playing and writing. She always helped me host my games, helped me clean up afterwords, and made snacks (including her...

Uh...no. Gotta disagree with ya there. LOTR is based on a literary Classic, not a game. Sorry. Now, that being said, there HAVE been several movies far more in the vein of D&D than that craptastic movie of the same name. See The Sword and the Sorceror, Hawk The Slayer, Sorceress, The...

Greetings All! On my trip back to Michigan this summer, I wil be running my old gaming group through The Temple of Mysteries, based on the recommendations I received on this very board. Originally I had 6 players, and the adventure is set up for 6 ore-gen characters. No problem...

1035 sigh....just sigh TGryph

In fact, I don't. I play Harp and Gurps 4E. Now, not that I said with a couple of years. I understand a company wanting to improve and update their products, but it just seemed a bit too soon for me :) And I am perfectly happy with a superior system :) TGryph

Seeing as how I don't play D&D anymore, I tear them apart and use the bare bones for my preferred systems (Gurps 4E, Harp), for which there aren't many (read any:) published modules. You just have to be careful not to grab something where the Big Bad is a Githyanki Sorceror/Monk/Dragon Disciple...

Win and Lose To Lose Me... Rerelease Brand New, more expensive Core Rulebooks of a perfectly good system only a couple of years after it has been released... To Win Me Back... Don't know yet! TGryph

I Mostly Agree...Mostly I mostly agree with derkluge's post except... Magic really DOES feel different. The ability to alter the range, area of effect, and duration of the spell really makes the spell-casting characters think. Also, there is that major difference with D&D magic...a spell can...

Technology plus I remember reading about another edge in ranged combat the Mongols held over their opponents. From what I remember, each Mongol wore a shirt of raw silk under his armor. If the armor was penetrated, the rifling action of the arrow would push the silk shirt into the wound...

Yep! That''s It! Bought Temple of Mysteries! Looks like Just The Thing! Thank you very much for your responses all! TgGyph

Greetings All; Going back to Michigan in a few months, and am planning a one-shot with my old gaming group of 25 years. As I haven't really played D&D much in the past couple of years (switched to Harp, Gurps, and trying Burning wheel), I would be interested in any recommendations you all...

HARP it! Give HARP a whirl...great system, one rulebook for everything, simple mechanics, flexible as hell, and east to convert a D&D campagin over to. $10 for the PDF, great customer support. When I want to play a class-level system, it gets my nod every time. TGryph

Definately Other... My treatment of the Ultimate Orc comes from the Burning Wheel RPG... "Orcs Hate. They hate themselves because they are twisted parodies of life and thier lives are constant torture. They hate all others because they remind them of what they once were and what they will...
