What do you mean by copied?

I'm not talking about prepainted, but if you're asking a serious question, check out Reaper's Legendary Encounters line. They were a bit more expensive than DDM on release, but an average of ~$3 is comparable now.

I'm still underwhelmed by these. They're going to break down to $3 each, which is comparable to metal or plastic that are far better sculpts. The cyclops is okay and probably worth $3-6, but $3 for the awful gnoll? $3 for those orcs? The distribution plan does sound really smart though.

I'm saying that I think it's wrong that the designers had an idea for one, and that is what was implied. Based largely on things Ryan Dancey and others have said about the products being moved through TSR in its last days. I can't name the specific products because what I didn't care for...

Based on the Spellfire card game that TSR offered in competition to Magic, I think it's safe to say they were completely surprised and not prepared to deal with the card game fad. Spellfire was an extremely crude game that became largely unplayable within the first few expansions as the nature...

I think they're overrated at best. There is not much to them and they're difficult to use, requiring extra prep work. At worst, a skill challenge in combat takes one or more characters out of the flow of combat and reduces them to repeating skill checks every round. What rogue wants to sit in a...

I think you're talking about three distinct behaviors here. Skimming: This is the same selfishness seen in clerics/druids who refuse to heal, fighters who rush onward when the rest of the party is drained, and wizards who blow all their spells on trivial enemies then demand to rest. It's not...

I love the 4E art. It's funny that you would say 4E art is tepid while pointing to someone like Elmore, because while Elmore certainly has technical skill, his trademark is that he refuses to portray one iota of emotion or context in his figures. Are the characters not really looking at each...

This is the first time I've seen the question and it is really refreshing. The reaction to the PDF news makes me cringe. Some posters have been so irrationally vile about this that at first I thought the situation had exacerbated to WotC somehow making all publishers stop PDF sales. But no, they...

;)

Those of you who were quick to put down WotC were the victims of the real joke here. There was never anything on that page, which is not even a page but a politely phrased 404 error. Look: Press Releases Press Releases Press Releases

Obesity is always an option if you simply give your character a weight above the average range. The same is true for height and attractiveness. If you design a race with all of these qualities innately, say some kind of squat humanoid manatee, then what you have is a race many players will not...

Oh wow, I never knew that! I will make room in my brain for this fact.

Hennet, really? I would have said century worm.

Not finding it locally, but I can wait a few more days.:) I heard that the big chain that first broke the street date was Books A Million, unfortunately we don't have one of those here.

I had a mirror of opposition in a game once. The actual mirror had been shattered by another group of adventurers, but afterward pieces began to surface as single-use weapons of desperation. One of the pieces fell into the hands of an enemy of the PCs, a young dragon, and tried to use it to kill...

Between the mattress and box springs. I've done this for years. I do laminate them beforehand, not because I've ever seen one tear, just because I like to have them laminated. If you're going to laminate, first have the store run some photo paper or something similar through the machine. If it...

I'm sure I heard that the miniatures in the new packs were going to be higher quality. They're definitely more expensive. But these look like among the worst of the DDM line.

Since the Canadian and US dollar are nearly equal at this point, that book is $55+ USD. Can you explain why your store has marked up the book to 200% of its SRP?

The only book that seems to be affected by this is the 3.5 Player's Handbook. You've linked to the DMG II there.
