Paul Jaquays, Rudy Kraft and Ken Ralston all did terrific work with RuneQuest material, and Jaquays also wrote terrific D&D adventures, not to mention one of my favourite adventures ever -- The Enchanted Wood, for DragonQuest. My gaming group played in that adventure for months and we all felt...

Sort of. The concept has mutated over the years since the duck legions were originally featured in the original boardgame White Bear, Red Moon (which in turn inspired the original version of RuneQuest, but basically ducks are a staple of the world of Glorantha -- built-in comic relief when...

And now it commands a huge price on eBay. Go figure.

This is more like "players' hell" than "GM hell", but .... * The GM tells you that an unstoppable evil will destroy the world if the PCs don't achieve their quest, and the PCs know that they have no chance in hell of overcoming the opposition. * The GM insists that he's going to run an "evil...

OK, I'm replying to what you actually said: why is it a bad idea? You've made the statement, but you've offered no proof; it's merely your opinion. If it works for your group, that's great, but what gives you the gumption to think that it's the only way it could possibly work? In my group...

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

You mean Reincarnation, right? The only suggestion I have is that you make sure that the players understand in advance whatever changes you make to the spell. I know the players in my game would dislike intensely any spell that would make it extremely difficult for them to continue...

Believe me, I'm not following you anywhere. It's just unfortunate that I visit EnWorld on a regular basis; unfortunate for me because I see you here, and unfortunate for you because there's someone to point out when you're lying. Your post is visible for all to see right here, Tabby. I...

Yes, you're misreading what he wrote; he said that cracking indicates lowER quality. He also said that it does not (by itself) indicate "poor" quality. Even if the new binding style is of poorer quality than the old style, there's still no evidence to suggest that it isn't perfectly adequate...

I'm hoping that the upcoming Stormwrack will have some more detailed boating information. IMC recently the PCs took a boat trip down river. Speed etc. -- no problems. All covered. But if some unpleasant situation came up -- like an attack by a giant eel, for instance -- and the PCs had to do...

Just correcting some terriible misinformation: As Tabby well knows, since he's been told this approximately 5 billion times at last count, MMP don't "own" ASL; they pay an annual fee to Hasbro for the licence to produce official ASL material. If regularly producing new products for a game...

We do? They work, they're relatively simple, in my experience they accomplish what they set out to do. Could they be improved? Maybe; lots of things can be improved -- that doesn't mean that they don't work in their current form. I think you have a problem connecting what the rules say...

Having finally gotten around to doing this today, my only comment is: I don't know what the fuss is about. Is the binding "different"? Well, yeah, I guess. Is it "worse", or likely to be a "problem"? Not in my opinion. If someone hadn't pointed out to me that the binding style had...

Well, that makes two of us. No, I'm asking you to justify it. You stated that the change in printing style was a "big problem" as though it were an immutable fact that we should all be up in arms about. While several people agree that they're not especially fond of the new printing style (I...

It's pretty obviously your problem. It can also be considered a problem for WOTC, although the loss of a single customer probably doesn't constitute a big problem for them. Since no-one has posted any evidence of the books crumbling to dust at the merest touch, or even developing loose pages...

... because ...?

There's a store called "Tactics" in Perth. I've never been there and know nothing about it other than the fact that it sells wargames, which means it's likely that it also sells RPG material too. White Pages online brings up the following info: TACTICS London Crt (St Geo Tce End) Perth 6000...

Midnight. I also hope to soon be enjoying Thieves' World, too. I've always enjoyed the books and the excellent Chaosium boxed set.

Umm ... if Boomer is anything to go by, they're not sterile at all. I'd also question the "primary allegiance cannot be changed" bit too. Galactica-Boomer apparently lost her struggle with her programming, but Pregnant-Boomer seems to be acting independently. Unless, of course, that's all...

None spring to mind, although "idiot" is also a possibility. It's hard to imagine that this type of person is more prevalent in 3e than in previous editions; the 3e rules do spell out exactly how much you can do in a single round extremely clearly, IMO. Reminding the player that a single round...
