    [Ravenloft] Reversion of License?

    With the agreement between Arthaus and WotC announced, what does that mean for the future of Ravenloft? Will sites such as FoS still be allowed to continue? Is there another company that might pick up the license and produce new content? Would WotC even consider doing such work themselves...

    Why are my FLGS completely ignorant?

    Wow. Mayhem opened a store in Des Moines? I'm glad to hear they are still around. Of course, it doesn't help that I haven't lived in that area for well over a decade now. In this area, I have to say that I'm finding fantastic alternatives to what I had was about the only gaming store in the...

    Publishers, Piracy, and You

    DISCLAIMER: I am not a publisher, author or any other type involved in the creation and/or distribution of materials discussed in those ebay auctions. That being said, my thought on the sale of books including a PDF version of those books is this: I believe it to be reasonable to have a copy...

    What is the best (most effecient) way to use a laptop while DMing

    The main way that our DM uses the laptop is to cue up music that she had already put together as ways to emphasize a particular mood, like when she plays intense music for combat or more ethereal for the creepy feel she tries to reinforce for a Ravenloft campaign.

    When did gnomes fall from grace?

    Just reading through this one and a huge light bulb just went on for me. Willow. I wouldn't call him a dwarf and he (and the others) didn't give me the feeling of halflings. However, as the "preeminant arcanists," this actually feels about right. That'll teach me to hold the DVD while at...

    Are you sure it's not a vision of possible things to come?

    Gamers NOT born in 1974!

    '88 was a good summer for me as well. It was the year I first learned of D&D and started playing. FTR, I'm one of those from '74. Already voted.

    Psionics: Do you use 'em or did you lose 'em

    I've allowed psionics in my campaigns, but then again, I've mostly had them used by NPCs. My players haven't had much of an inclination to use them. I've also allowed all the magics and ninjas and such. But then again, I really don't agree with what I have heard others call the "classic...

    Witch is better?...

    I was wondering someone would apply an oar upside the ranger until I reread this one.

    Should Players Engage With The Rules?

    I do think that if you are going to take the time to play in a game with other people, you should at least take the time to know that rules that have a direct impact upon your PC. Even if it is not a combat situation (though that's where the rules will have most immediate or noticeable impact)...

    Short & Sweet - Discard hit die rolls less than con modifier.

    How does that help (or hinder) a player that has a negative modifier due to their Constitution being lower than 10? Since they can't roll lower than that modifier, a roll of two (or higher) could still potentially mean a 1 for the character.

    Top Ten Reasons to Buy Sandstorm

    I'm not sure about this one just yet. I saw Worm Riding on that list and couldn't help but picture BeetleJuice riding the sandworm as he was sent back to the ... Uhh... afterworld?

    Need an obscure reference

    The alignment for Leopard was not listed. I think maybe it was on of the errata from that magazine. You'd have to check around in subsequent issues to see if that had gotten addressed. I do not have the same double-printed problem that Yalius had mentioned so I think the missing alignment was...

    Downloads still not up?

    As a quick follow-up, I just followed the link and saw the same "Repopulating" message that the others mentioned. Currently just going on noon Eastern time.

    How do you describe a new encounter?

    I don't know. I think it's kind of fun to say something along the lines of "The person in front of y ou seem to be radiating power that makes the hairs on the back of your necks stand on end as if trying to pull themselves from your body." Other than that, if you are looking at a villain on a...

    Need an obscure reference

    I should have that one in storage. I'll try to dig it out tomorrow and post the answer for you.

    Who plays DnD without messing with it?

    I haven't really changed any of the rules, per se. Instead, it's been more a matter of sitting down with optional material and deciding what, if anything, gets added. Biggest examples are deciding which base classes and prestige classes are allowed from the Complete books and other sources...

    ONG BAK -- Bring it!!!

    I enjoyed seeing this one on DVD last year or the year before. I think I would really like to see it on the big screen. Is it subtitled or dubbed?
