There was a 2E adventure, Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, which gives some details on these. By name they're the Brutal Pick, Earthheart Forge, Anvil of Songs, and Shaping Hammer. The axe itself is actually called the Fierce Axe in this context. The other tools were made to use the axe, and each has...

Like I suspected, they're completely redesigning the planes, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The bad thing is that the entire book is only 160 pages. That is really not enough space to develop the new cosmology, in addition to the player options and monsters we'll probably see. And it's...

My posts in this thread bewilder me. But that has nothing at all to do with D&D.

I got into MMOs because I like to play games with other people. I was seeking a social experience. Unfortunately, most of the people who play World of Warcraft (generally, all of the people who socialize) are kids or young teenagers and they are anonymous, unsupervised and mean. I want nothing...

TSR released some cards in the early 90s, not a game but sets of cards. IIRC there were 3 sets of about 750 cards each. For a while after they were released in packs you could buy whole sets in tins, which you might be able to find on Ebay or something. One of the cards of the first two sets...

I got mine today and it looks great. I haven't had time to read everything but the monk, druid, bard, crafting rules and lingering wounds inspire me and I'd like to try them. Unfortunately, I do not have any errors to report. ;) Also, I really like Joan Guardiet's artwork in the book.

Did you know that ant behaviors are stimulated by pheromones? If you wanted to get scientific about it, someone with an ant mount could use a device that releases different scents for different desired behaviors to control the ant very well.

Aha, thank you!

Is the print version available anywhere other than Paizo? I'm not finding it at the places I normally shop.

I've been a part of this problem. I give my characters aversions and desires that won't always mesh with what the DM or the other players have in mind. I have never shown up to the first session and said "my character doesn't show up to the meeting because X, Y, Z," but when it's time for the...

I understand what it's based on. It needlessly complicates the coinage system when the idea is to simplify and streamline the rules. Hence, it is nutty.

The coinage thing is nutty. 12 copper to a silver, 20 silver to a gold? So when that platemail is listed as 600 pence, it's really um.. let me get some scratch paper for this.. 2 gold, 10 silver? Breaking the base 10 tradition does not lend itself to simplicity I'm afraid. Same problem with...

Having actually played DDO I didn't hate it. Between all the changes that've been made and the 4E transition, I might give it another try in the future.

I've only ever used fighter-mage or some equivalent that's more descriptive to the concept. I have never and will never refer to something as a gish. Players who don't post regularly on messsage boards don't even know what it means- I'm pretty sure when I first heard it I thought it was a...

There was the "go play" green triangle for a while a couple of years ago that tried to accomplish just this. It might be something that folks still recognize.

I don't understand why they expected this to be a double-cross, but if they've called it then I would say one of two things is taking place at your table. One, the players are predicting what's going to happen instead of allowing it to happen, which usually means they're unhappy with the pace of...

;)

I love SA. :)

This is true for basically all reptiles and birds. Fantasy creatures are heavily anthropomorphized, I think most players assume minotaurs and dragons and harpies work basically the same way as humans. I keep my biology background to myself because I don't think people really want to know about...

I've worked for the USPS and this is pretty untrue. We work 24/7, and that includes holidays and sundays when carriers aren't actually delivering the mail. There is never a time, ever, when the system collectively strips down to its skivvies, has a barbecue and lets your mail sit in a warehouse...
