THis is something i have a very hard time doing. I'm probably too concerned about where my money goes and who it supports so ever be able to do this. This has more often been my experience. Most publishers I have encountered are 'nice guys' and I like to see nice people do well. If it means...

This is, almost word for word, what i wanted to post. I take on many things on a trial basis. I rarely change anything midstream since my players knwo I'll be watching closely how the rule/PC power/whatever works out. Usually everyone can come to a consensus that 'X' isn't enchancing the game...

I was very impressed with the wizard staff rules in Dragon #338. So impressed that I adopted them whole cloth. It provides some great abilities and perks without going overboard.

Not to seem flippan t but how could a publishers actions not influence your purchasing decision? I know I avoid publishers who have come across as jerks here or elsewhere. Maybe that is petty but I don't really want to give my money to somebody I think is a jerk. John Wick is probably the...

Very cool. I like it. Good, good this is going places... ...that we don't want! Ahg! That was a cruel, cruel thing. I like it even more! :] I encourage players to add to their PCs background and will also add to it myself if it is needed (and the player agrees). Sadly I have seen...

Batman Begins. "Swear to ME!!" Far behind that are The Increidbles, Spiderman 2, Unbreakable and Xmen (would be XMen 2 if they had't thrown away my favourite character, cyclops, for 2/3 of the movie).

I got it too. I figured they were trying to be all scary and stuff. 'oooooooo we got your email. We KNOW WHO YOU ARE!'. If I wasn't using a web based email account and numerous protective measures I'm sure I'd.... well no, I don't think scum like this could ever scare me.

Ok. But isn't 50% of a victory still a victory? And besides he gets to kill Lord Soth too right? That almost makes it a 90% victory! ;) Yes I am being a little rat - I know what you mean but I still stand by my experiences that show no-win situations and moral dilemmas add a great deal to...

Damned straight. No-win senarios are rarely as such. There is almost always a way around them and as a player I figure it's my job to figure it out. A lot of times I fail and just go in with lightsaber swinging. But those times when you outthink your problems, when you pick the quick and...

We tried this a few months ago and it wasn't nearly as much fun as I'd hoped. We played X2 Castle Amber and the entire party was wiped out by the poisoned toadstools in the ghostly dining hall. Bummer. Some of the rules really got under our skin, too. If you were going to try this I would...

I would roll the stat randomly but (since it is only one spell affecting the whole party) have it be the same for every PC. I would describe it as a feeling of malice and contempt washing over them with hollow laughter echoing in their ears. If the party was struggling to figure it out I would...

B4 The Lost City I've run this one for numerous groups over the years. It is my single most favourite 'old school' module and is virtually a campaign in a box unto itself. Huge area to be covered.

Heh. IMC they most certainly did! I usually ignore most rule changes. Seriously, unless it is in the PHB/DMG/MM it probably won't be in my game. I adopt additional rules as I see fit (ie weapon speeds from Everquest) but actual changes to rules I generally ignore. I rarely read Dragon...

D'oh! I wondered what the heck that was about her neck! The White Witch was the coolest moment for me. From her first appearance to her last I loved every minute she was on screen. The calm facade that was so often broken by her boundless rage, her extraordinary skill with sword & scepter...

I'm luke warm on monster books myself. I have tons of monsters that have spawned adventure ideas that I will probably never get to use (like my artic campaign) so monster books are the last thing I am looking for right now. That said stuff like Lords of Madness really appeals to me as they go...

You realize I now have to own every one of these products, don't you? Too funny!

A friend of mine suggested opening up the skill lists ot the point that, at character creation, you would choose the class skills for your class. Each class would get a varying number (I think we thought a range of 6-14 was about right fighter on the low end rogue on the high) with only a few...

I've got so many RPg books on my Xmas list I have little hope to see this under the tree. However I have just about bought my way to a free gift certificate at my FLGS so Heroes of Horror might have to be my 'freebie'!

I have to wait for the second run theater in town to get it (sometime in Feb. probably). Without having seen Jackson's remake I will vote for the 1933 version.

Good for him.
