I can't think of any books I've ever bought that I just thought stunk, but here's a list of books that I picked up, read (or leafed) through once, and haven't picked up again... Deities & Demigods (meh) Return to the Temple etc. GURPS Voodoo GURPS Faerie GURPS Spirits RIFTS Palladium Fantasy...

Medium and heavy armor slow down flying, for sure. I'm not sure about other types of speeds, but I'd be conservative and say, yes. Flying creatures (with a very few exceptions) can't fly with Heavy encumbrance. Armor does not count as encumbrance in itself; add its weight in. It slows one...

You might look in Masters of the Wild, or the Complete Warrior, or even Song & Silence. I have none of those, however, so I can't say for sure. Just thinkin' out loud. Speaking of which.... So, is buying poison an evil act? The deepwood sniper has poison use. Does that make her an evil...

I usually write, say, "Cleric 5 (Bob)/Ranger 3 ... HD 8d8+8; 46 hp" when I'm doing formal stat blocks. In my personal notes, lately I've been writing, e.g. "Cleric 5 (Cthulhu)/Ranger 3 ... HP 46 (8 HD)" just as a quick jot. Of course, I've seen that format in the DMG II and in Dragon, so...

Lessee... Last session, we used: 3.5 core rulebooks; Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (I've got a paladin of Mayaheine) Against the Giants: the Liberation of Geoff (25th anniversary book published for AD&D) Monster Manual III (a skullcrusher ogre made a brief, and well-zapped, appearance) Masters of...

Now, the path of the paladin has always been defined as a difficult one. You seem to be arguing that we should impose similar difficulties on anyone who is any form of good, not just paladins. I would say that you have to weigh the number of evil or selfish acts against the number of good or...

This is an isolated incident. I think it was brought on by the HW player's frustration at not coming up with anything to say to the hobgoblins, and perhaps a tiny little inkling of pyromania. His first character in the campaign was a pyrokineticist, after all. It wasn't that the hobgoblins...

Oh, my head.... :confused: That's kind of what I thought after I made the post, but the book does say "per head," not "each head." Oh, well, it'll be OK. TWK

Okay. I had thought of that, but do you have any specific suggestions? I'm always kind of nervous when it comes to tweaking monsters outside of adding HD or levels.... TWK

In my last session, the heroes discovered a fortress dug into the ground (or at least, covered over by a hill), and watched by two groups of hobgoblins. I put in lots of nice trees and standing stones in the watchers' spots, first because it's supposed to look natural, and second because my...

Hey Quas! That actually came up in my game... against a displacer beast, the 4th-level paladin with a greatsword warned it to "surrender or die!" and then rolled a crit threat. Followed by a natural 20. Followed by another natural 20. Dead displacer beasts. The other two players made notes...

The 3.5 MM states that pyro- and cryohydras have breath weapons that do 3d6 points of whatever energy damage per head. Can a hydra combine all these breath weapons into one great, big cone, or does each head select a target (and that means they can double up!)? I guess the difference is, one...

Where Can I Get Me One of Those? I've been quite alarmed by that MMII giant, also. Especially since I've been running the "Liberation of Geoff" book which has at least one in it. Where can I get me a CR 16 mountain giant? Or can you tell me what changes to make so I can get my own, please...

I have managed to find plenty of old WEG Star Wars books used, and they tend to be $10 or less. Of these, I'd recommend the Movie Trilogy Sourcebook, the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, and the Imperial Sourcebook, for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, Second Edition. They have general information on...

As an interesting side note, the members of Rhapsody are Italian. Huh. TWK

I don't know about Freedom Call, but I have a couple of Rhapsody products. The music is great, wonderful, lovely. The story writing and the voice acting need some work, frankly. They're like an early R. A. Salvatore novel, light on the heavy thinking. On the other hand, my gaming buddies...

I cannot really recall any specific instance of "product creep" in 2E. Then, I do not own more than a dozen 2e products: The core books, the Tome of Magic, Of Ships and the Sea, the Psionics Handbook, the World and Dungeon Builder's Guidebooks, a collection of four Dungeon adventures, the Arms...

Great. The Meek have joined the NRA ... I guess we'll have to pry the world from their cold, dead fingers. :D TWK

And, it's not "Kree! Kree!" It's "Kree! Skrull!" And you call yourself nerds! TWK

"Hivemind is like... er... onions! Onions have layers, Hivemind has layers! Onions... you get the picture... No, Hivemind is not like cake!!" Hullo Hive! TWK A *BUMP* from the third page! What's wrong with you people?
