Now, I'm pretty much a 4on, but I think that complaints about sacred cows have a certain legitimacy. A big part of RPGs is the culture of individual gaming groups (idioculture in GA Fine's terms) and the sacred cows of D&D play into this for many people. Of course, the complaints the reviewer...

I prefer anything by The Wizard of Wines Winery. Champagne du le Stomp is best, but I can still go for some Red Dragon Crush. Just don't give me any Purple Grapemash No. 3.

One funny thing is that Keep on the Shadowfell seems to be the only WOTC product that the biggest bookstore in Canada is not stocking, ever. They don't even have a listing for it.

Wow. Almost none of the games that I've seen in this thread strike me as Narrativist! The GSN framework isn't really a great one, anyway, and in part because of the confusion over the categories. Unfortunately, my experience with these games is pretty limited, so I don't feel comfortable...

I would say that the minion has the six HP and that if it survives the combat, it still lives to fight another day. The idea of the minion is one that is supposed to represent the interaction of the PCs with various combatants, not some physical properties of the minion itself. The wyrmpriest...

No. No. No. Hit points don't represent damage to the physical body of a character. You can have some other system entirely to represent that if you would like. Technically, a character can be mortally wounded and have full hit points. Hit points are just a measure of how long a character can...

I'd like to try out a paladin/ranger combo with TWF.

Unfortunately, when you go to turn a card sideways to indicate you've used it, the phone just flips it back upright again!

That almost made me spit my coffee out on my keyboard!

I just love the guitar strings in the background.

How is this "(no spoilers)"?

A character sheet with a section similar to the Talents section on an Earthdawn character sheet could work.

I first read this as Roger Waters wrote for the MoP. Then I read it as John Waters wrote for the MoP. Either would have blown my mind. This is good, but a little anti-climactic, now.

Totally! I'm going to run a game that starts in an isolated community that doesn't use money. So the PCs really have no choice but to go out and loot, at least until they reach civilization. Once the PCs get to a place where they can use money, the amount of money that they get may relate to...

I'm going to be more brutal to my players. When they get hit, they get hurt and they'll stay hurt until healed. This won't necessarily have any effect on their HP totals, but I'll work it in some other way. (See Raiders of the Lost Ark.) I like the idea of simply deciding at the zero-blow...

Textbook prices arise because of the market for textbooks, not because of the care and attention to detail. The RPG industry faces competition far more directly than the textbook industry, so prices will always be lower.

It was. Try looking up the entry for "Doors" in the index of my first copy. Or second copy.

That's a deal breaker for me. If my PCs can't get an Apparatus of Kwalish, there is something wrong with the game. I'm sure everyone will agree with me.

How many times does it have to be said on these boards that a character can be seriously injured and yet have full hit points?

Well, duh. This should really be the approach all the time. If you have an attack that can be lethal to a group of enemies and the enemies are set out in a way that you can use the attack, then use the attack. Minions are there so that these area attacks (and other attacks) remain lethal...
