    Do you miss the good old days? Boxed sets and single books.

    All fo the things you list as positives I keep thinking about how easily I seem to lose them. Most of what you describe could be better made as a downloadable pdf. I still would not buy a boxed set ever again.

    Do you miss the good old days? Boxed sets and single books.

    Single books to play a game are fine but I would not be interestdin boxed sets ever again. Far to easy to lose things from it and most boxed sets have cheap, flimsy books ime.

    FFG 5 dollar sale!!!

    $16 to ship one book to Canada?! No thanks. For those interestedin Dragonstar - get the Guide to the Galaxy book. It has great background material. For the rules stuff (which the Starfarer's Guide mostly is) I'd use d20 Moder/Future or maybe even d20 Star Wars. Heck the way the Starfarers...

    Just saw X-Men III (Now with spoilers!)

    For those complaining that Cyclops only got a few minutes of screen time - did any of you actually see XMen 2?! He dissappeared for nearly an hour of film time while being 'reconditioned' by Stryker and had very little to do before that (mainly push Xavier around in his wheelchair). I'm amazed...

    What color is the iconic dragon?

    Red. Smaug was a red dragon (well gold & red) and that is the first dragon I think of.

    Season 5's American Idol: Katherine or Taylor?

    Well its over and I thought the finale was actually quite entertaining. I loved seeing Dionne Warwick - that should have been the final number though. The 'Brokenote Cowboys' and Prince were pretty anti-climatic after her. Taylor derserved the win and I am glad he got it. The whole Backerat...

    Is your D&D campaign a game or a story?

    Yup - I have to agree with this. I matches 99% of the experiences I have had with my groups (only about 20 or so players over the years). Without something to push them I have found that a lot of players will spend 3 hours (real life) standing in a bar waiting for something to happen.

    Is your D&D campaign a game or a story?

    Oh boy another round of 'Guess the Sig'! I will go with.... "I think it is time you took a swim in Lake You." How close am I?

    PHB & DMG II SRD?

    Since the only 3rd party publisher I regularly bought books from cancelled the line (Scarred Lands from Sword & Sorcery Studios) I find i generally stick with WotC stuff for my games. A lot of the books that have come out recently are some of the best they have ever done, imo. Adding stuff to...

    Wow! And you're 'just a player'? ;) I think my entire RPG collection is about 250 books.

    Have much of your gaming books have you read?

    Why would you collect something you found bland? I read at least 90% of any RPG book I own. Mostly I skim books when I buy them and read those parts I find interesting right away. Then I go back and read other sections as time and my mood permit. I don't think i have ever bought a book and...

    Flavor of the Dragon Shaman from PHB II

    I'm in favour of the 'bare bones' approach they took with the Dragon Shaman. As written it is very simple for me to add a few extra touches to incorporate them into my Scarred Lands games. I like the mechanics behind the class and the flavour is touched upon just enough to allow me to fully...

    What books should I buy?

    Considering some of my most recent purchases I will say these Weapons of Legacy (I am in love with how the rules work for these. It is how I would like all magical items to work in the future) Draconomicon (simply the best book on dragons that I have ever seen. The depth and breadth of the...

    Season 5's American Idol: Katherine or Taylor?

    This season was the first time my wife and I have ever watched American Idol. We were hooked almost from the get go and it has been great watching these young people develop their voices and musical styles. We were shocked when Chris Doughtry was voted off as we had both pegged him and Taylor...

    NHL Playoffs 2006: Round II

    Errr you mean the 2 minutes that they were up by 4-0? Because other than that (and the Ducks made them pay for trying such a tactic - 3 goals in as many minutes!) you weren't watching the same game as I.
