That a single bad guy is going to have his ass handed to him by any moderately competent party. Minions are a good thing (not just the 1hp kind either - low powered but still credible as a threat minions are very important especially as I work back into DMing 3E).

Or come up with better things than a) hp damage or b) instant death for magic to do. Magic should be special - just killing a guy outright (while impressive) isn't exactly 'wow' in the flavor department. Turning a guy into a newt, surrounding him in a flaming coffin, slowly start crushing his...

This was always a big advantage of the older D&D systems - kingdom building (i.e. in AD&D 1E when you hit 'name level' (around 9th-11th) you are expected to start founding a base of some kind - castles for fighters, guilds for thieves etc). Having to finance a castle/wizard school/thieves guild...

I would run screaming from any group that implemented the scheme you've laid out here. Fortunately we have DMs who don't live under rocks and ignore everything that is happening in their games. Thus magical items the party come across are either useful to 1 or 2 PCs (so we come to an amicable...

Just from working in a bookstore for about 8 years and seeing what would be remainder and what wouldn't. In those 8 years not a single RPG item showed up in our remaindered stock (and this was one of the 2 major book chains in Canada - it was also at a time when TSR was self-destructing and if...

Actually remaindering books with as small (relatively speaking) a print run as RPG books have is very significant. Most times you see remainder product for books that have print runs into the tens or hundreds of thousands - if any 4E books (expecting maybe the core 3) had print runs over 15 000...

I'm moderately happy with Pathfinder and am actively resisting the urge to house rule it extensively (so far we have just adopted the 1-1-1-1 movement rules over the 1-2-1-2). I want to play/run it by RAW for as long as possible. So far the party is only at 3rd level.

Unless you started playing D&D with 4E... About the only 2 races I have never gotten behind are gnomes and tieflings. Gnomes just bore me (and I love taking the piss out of gnome lovers) and tieflings are, to me, the only races that screams "I'm evil!" to me. I don't do or allow evil PCs and...

Please tell me you're exempting the horrid blue & white line art that is rife in both those books. I loved the full colour 'plate' art pages but a lot of the rest of the art in the 2E PHB & DMG was pretty bad.

Hey - I do this already!!

I don't think i can choose a most hated class. I don't really hate any class but there are a number I would not play and would encourage others not to play either. Most notable assassin (you're evil - no evil allowed), bard (no matter what it all comes down to "Bluff, bluff, bluff the stupid...

Thanks Larrin! That is actually quite a bit more than I was expecting. I think this has just hit my 'buy' list!

Tony Vargas - about how many pages of 'fluff' devoted to the Elemental Chaos and its environs/history would you say there is in the book ?

I stopped buying 4E stuff when the character builder went all crappy (re: online). I would like to get Heroes of the Elemental Chaos simply because I think the Elemental Chaos is one of the best ideas for planar cosmology to ever come out of D&D. I am disappointed it is only 160 pages...

the map in S2 White Plume Mountain had directions on how to get to Dragotha the Undead Dragon (sort of...)

He's a gamer - of course this is the way things should be!! I don't like polymorph - ban it!! ;)

Random is... **rolls d20** Good!

I would have sworn something like this was on the wizards' site a few years ago. Anyone know how to search wizards' archives?
