Ugh, that price gouge is revolting. It looks like the Monster Manual and DMG are available at reasonable, if not very discounted, prices. Just the Player's Handbook is being marked way up. If you're looking for a 3.5 PHB though, there's at least one for $18: Amazon.com: Dungeons & Dragons...

I have so many 3E books, I don't always remember the gems. I had a look in this one to remember my impression of it, and now I'm definitely going to be using it again. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I have quite a lot of tiles, from WotC, Paizo, SK and others, as well as dozens of poster maps and easy access to large, good quality mapping paper. They are all 1" grids. So when I think about changing to hexes, most of what stops me is that all the stuff I already have wouldn't be compatible...

When I popped out one of the more recent sets (I wish I could remember which one), one of the sheets had a problem with the slick printed paper coming unfastened from the cardstock middle. I put a bit of glue between them, and they never came undone again. I don't even know what tiles they are...

I have Viking Age along with most of the other Avalanche supplements. Viking Age was hard for me to track down and I'm glad to have it in print (the PDF is a bad scan). Avalanche Press is a historical wargaming company, so their research is amazing and Viking Age is no different. I would say...

I find this funny because of all the people who said they would sign up for a month, grab all the issues available, then unsubscribe for $5 a year. I realize not everyone who wants to unsubscribe is doing that, but still, karma? A little bit? ;)

Those look great, I think I'm going to need a slightly bigger tote for mine though.

NO. Webbing is not intrinsically sticky! The stickiness of a capture web is due to a glue applied from a spider's aggregate gland, which is found only in orb weavers. Even in an orb weaver's capture web, however, not every silk strand is adhesive. The orb weaver uses only enough adhesive to...

I find reviews of D&D products by "staff reviewers" to be a waste of time and tend not to read them. They are often tepid, technical rather than insightful, and inspired by nothing more than having the product and feeling the need to review it. What should you review? Whatever you feel strongly...

Yes, we used this system for most of 3.x, although it was something we arrived at naturally so the numbers were different. The XP for a monster was just the XP it was worth to an appropriately leveled character according to the DMG chart. We did this because for the most part it's your level x...

Yes, I started buying DDM because I never felt like I would be a good miniature painter. The price was already close to $15 when I started buying, with Blood War IIRC. What made me switch to metal miniatures and start painting was a lack of female figures in the DDM line. I remember one DDM...

I'll do you one better for that nerd point. The Simcity Board of Advisors

Did people really expect this? The book is only 160 pages, scarcely enough to cover the huge changes to the planes, and people expected there to be Planescape material? Planescape, which at last print, was completely trashed by Faction War and now needs to be largely rewritten? Yes, let's...

It means that nobody likes us very much. You can vote up a person's post by clicking on the balance scales in the lower left corner of a person's post. I was going to do that once, but then I had to leave a comment justifying my vote. I cracked under the pressure and abandoned my effort.

Spellfire was the best game ever put to cards. The simplistic core mechanic was easily grasped by children and belied the underlying complexity of the enormous power creep metaphor for the cold war arms race and use of repeatedly recycled artwork to criticize the conformity of McCarthyism. It...

It's different in theory, in practice it should not be a problem. I'm guessing the "demiplane" designator is useful for powers or rituals or planar rules that Sigil will fall under. As far as the nature of a demiplane, Sigil is completely isolated by the Concordant Oposition, which nullifies all...

Although you are accurate in your assessment of the DRM situation in our corner of the world, DRM does have a broad definition. Copy/paste disablement is certainly a Management of your Rights to a Digital product. If you choose to say that copy/paste disablement is not DRM because it doesn't fit...

I love blue dragons and this one looks pretty good.

This has been the fate of the majority of all webcomics. I wouldn't say Fuzzy Knights and OotS are similar in this regard, any more than they are similar for both being in color and archived on the internet, frankly. But I do see the comparison you're making.

Fuzzy Knights is a gaming webcomic in the vein of Knights of the Dinner Table. Whereas KoDT is dialog-driven with mostly xerox panels and short, anecdotal stories, Fuzzy Knights is made with posed stuffed animals and has some really long storylines. I was a fan of KoDT, before they started doing...
