    Coolest game/product you discovered at Gen Con?

    For me: Star Wars Miniature game (but I don't like the idea of "Ultra Rare" figures) and Pirates of the Spanish Main (I should have bought this one). -Swiftbrook

    Are there lines to get badges at GenCon

    Yes there are line, and many moved slow, but it seems to be improving. Wednesday nights lines were long. I estimated 1000 people in line for badges when I got in line. It took 1.5 hours before I got my badge. Then I had to stand in line to sign up for events. 1.75 hours later, my events...

    What should I take to GenCon?

    What to take: Patience! - there are 10,000's of people and just as many things to do and buy. Money A Schedule - plan your day ahead of time - plan breaks or open time as well. It can take you a lot longer to get from one place to another than you thing and the dealer room is huge! Money Snaks...

    Crossbows and why the rules shortchange them.

    This is my BIG peeve with crossbows. A typical (light) crossbow could be loaded and fired 2 or 3 times a minute, a larger crossbow (requiring a winch) about once a minute. In D&D, the worse case is one round to reload (fire the next) or 5 shots a minute for a great crossbow. A light crossbow...

    When Skill Focus loses its value

    In addition .... There are many feats of the +2/+2 variety, some even better. If I were going to burn a feat for skills, I'd pick a +2/+2 instead of Skill Focus. For example: "Ehlonna's Way [General]" a Greyhawk regional feat from Dragon 315 gives a +3 Hide and +3 Survival when in woodlands...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Someone on these boards said they would be rolling out an HTML version of UA 6 months after the book came out. Depending on how you're counting that should be this month (if you're counting from when the book appeared in stores) or August (if you count from the official "release" date on the...

    Giants of Legend Expansion Pack

    Bias I’ve previously purchased a Harbinger Entry Pack (Amazon 60% off), several individual Dragoneye miniatures and a case of Archfiends off Ebay. I purchased my Giants of Legend expansion pack at a local bookstore for full price. Why? Because I just had to see these minis. I’m not a...

    Does a (Greater)Magic Weapon on Arrow AND Bow STACK?

    Sorry but your reply is meaningless. Note the dates on this thread, they are all 2002. They are talking 3.0 not 3.5. Everything changed in 3.5 (for the worse IMHO). -Swiftbrook
