There are a few techniques that require oil based paints, but those techniques are extremely advanced and few mini painters use them.

So does anybody know if they sold out or not? If not, I might go ahead and place an order for the hard copy to go with my PDF. If no answer or they did sell out, I'll wait for the second printing.

Elves Now we start to really depart the norms of known fantasy camapaign settings. The Elves of Athas are 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 feet tall, larger than in any other standard 2E setting. These desert elves make the standoffishness of their standard D&D cousins seem almost trustworthy. They live in...

It's tough to compete directly with WotC, but they are doing it. And I have to say, WotC's material is really great these days. Not my current cup of tea, but they are going to pull me back after they announced Dark Sun for next year.

FFG took two gold and two silver for Dark Heresy, which I have to say is probably my favorite game going these days (looking forward to Rogue Trader).

Paizo did four gold and two silver, which isn't bad when you compare them to the 800 pound gorilla in the industry (seriously, WotC will always be #1).

Best Game - D&D 4E

PAthfinder Chronicles takes best setting.

Dark Heresy looks to be doing well.

Dwarves Things start to go amiss. These are not your axe wielding, beer chugging, bearded stoic warriors of settings past. These dwarves are focused on some task. Checking in at 4 1/2 - 5 feet tall and ahving dark skin tanned by the climate, these guys live up to 250 years. Like their...

Chapter 2: Player Character Races Now the departures from standard 2E AD&D settings start really sinking in with the introduction of the eight standard PC races in Dark Sun. As with the rest of 2E AD&D, Athas is a humanocentric planet and thus Humans make up the bulk of player characters. The...

The Rules Book The Rules Book breaks down into fifteen chapters, similar to what we're all used to seeing in these things: Chapter One: Ability Scores Chapter Two: Player Character Races Chapter Three: Player Character Classes Chapter Four: Alignment Chapter Five: Proficiencies Chapter Six...

The original Dark Sun boxed set had several components: 1) The Rules Book 2) The Wanderer's Journal 3) A Little Knowledge (Fiction + Flip Book Adventure) 4) Player Aid Cards (for A Little Knowledge) 5) Dungeon Master's Book (for a Little Knowledge) 6) Color Map of the Tyr Region 7) B&W Map of...

With the hyperlinking, it'll take a bit of work to get it all local if you want a local copy, too.

Well, this solidifies an excellent path for fantasy RPGs for me!

There is NO "Old School" or "New School." There is only gaming.

If they do a line of PPM for Pathfinder, I would expect them to release unpainted pewter versions first, then follow up a few months later with the PPM versions. I think that ultimately this would work out best due to the fact that the portion of hobbyists who are also into modeling and...

The thing I like most about Reaper's PPM is the fact that the sculpts are the same as unpainted pewter versions. I have three hobbies. 1) Tabletop RPGs 2) Tabletop Miniature Wargames 3) Miniature modeling and painting So it's all good for me. :D

Looks like it's now Reaper, not Crocodile. Reaper does some PPM, so who knows where this will go.

The Bestiary is due out in October, too. :D
