Three votes for Ptolus :D

Hi Grimdour and welcome :) You might want to take a look at the UK Role Players forums (the link takes you direct to the gamers section) to see if you can find any other players in your area - it really is an excellent UK resource for finding other gamers, so you may well be able to find a...

Hi Maxboy, thanks :) This is the plastic one too. I find that when metal minis get too big they also get too heavy, so I prefer this version. Even though metal minis generally have more detail, plastic and resin sculpts are pretty decent nowadays and perfectly fine for 28mm or so - well, for...

Games Workshop do a lot of decent figures which make a decent fit for huge sized creatures, though they tend to be on the pricry side. I posted here (in the Art Gallery) about my attempt to paint a GW Balrog, with pics from start to finish (well, mostly finished!). Here's a pic pic of the...

Nice floor mosiac/magic circle (or whatever people want to use it for). I really do like the style of the maps.

Well, only you can really answer that, since it's your game. Personally, whenever I've played a wizard I like to fill out my spellbook as much as possible - but only up to a point, as some spells just become not worthwhile after a while. I also like to balance my wizards out a little with some...

As pointed out above, the default setting for 3.* is Greyhawk. May I also plug my own map (click anywhere on the map itself for greater detail), which is very big and free (well, you can buy it whole or as an atlas, if you so wish, but online it's free) - plus you get a whole 3.5 setting to go...

Complaints? About what? This stuff is free, so I can't imagine what people would be complaining about!

That link doesn't come up for me either - I'm getting a redirect to http://sites.securepaynet.net/redirect_0.html. I've tried just typing in the address, but to the same effect.

I'm sure I'd read somewhere that favored classes had gone - though I can't remember where, so maybe I'm just imagining it. Either way, it comes as no surprise :angel: I certainly like the overall look so far. It shouldn't surprise anyone that it has that 3ed feel, of course, since that's...

As a DM I can't win or lose. I just am. ;) Seriously, though, I've never understood the us versus them attitude. As others have already mentioned, I see DMing as facilitating the game and ensuring everyone (including myself!) has fun.

I tend to write everything out so that the finished article is just like an adventure you'd buy, but without the art. All the details are there, from descriptions, to room details, monster stats, treasure - the whole shebang. This is extremely long winded and painstaking and I can often get...

I had a double hard drive crash several years ago and I never fully recovered from it, not even to this day. I still find myself looking for files that don't exist anymore. I used to have two internal drives, one which was the primary drive and the second which was for backups - and for some...

Hey, there's some good stuff here. Thanks :) Firstly, I should say to the OP that I wouldn't worry too much about realism, as it is more about getting together a backdrop that suits the needs of your game and your players. Most people don't really care about what the reality is so long as it...

There's a couple of feats in the Draconomicon - Improved Maneuverability and Improved Speed. However, Improved Speed has a prereq of Str 13 and dragon type, while Improved Maneuverability has similarly restricting prereqs (fly speed 15o ft, hover or wingover). So, not sure they're going to...

Heh - now that's a both a funny and scray thought at the same time. :p Here's something from Libris Mortis (under Undead Propagation, p11) My reading of that is that it doesn't matter what actually kills them, the important bit is that the wight has to actually make at least one successful...

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do about Pathfinder and I'll be at a crossroads with it soon. I presently buy all the Pathfinder APs, modules, chronicles and companion stuff - so pretty much the whole shebang. But I'm a 3.5 gamer and have a lot (and I mean a lot!) of material, which I'd...

I'll add to the chorus. Great looking maps and really useful piece of software. I've just downloaded it and will have a mess. Many thanks :)

Hmm, I wonder if it isn't something like grey stuff which has been tainted orange-yellow by the camera flash? Just a guess. Excellent sculpts, btw. What's the scale?

There's some pretty damn impressive pictures there, I must admit. Thanks for the link. Heres the Library of Congress: And here's one of Charles Dickens library:
