How about just a "things with the Star Wars logo on them cost too much" discussion? :) And probably realizing that in a relatively short time after RotS is released that particular cash cow is gonna get mightly lean, so he's gotta milk it for all he can while he can.

Yikes! I'm beginning to think the SW Minis are the line WotC is using to see just how much a consumer is willing to pay for a product.

IME the answer depends heavily on the DM. As a player I used to be all about backstory, but I have never had a DM who made use of the work I put into my backstory, so over the years my backstories have gotten shorter and shorter. In fact, my current character has no backstory at all. I...

My respect for Mr. Gygax just increased more than if you'd told me he had singlehandedly figured out cold fusion. I sincerely wish that whereever fumbles and criticals came from that they would go back there and never come back.

I just bought the Rebel Storm Ultimate Missions book today and one thing that immediately jumped out at me is how hard it tries to be a bridge product between the SW Minis and the SW RPG. It seems to me that would be a very odd thing to do if WotC had any plans to cancel the RPG line anytime...

I used the core pantheon in a short-term game once. It didn't really matter because no one played a cleric and the adventure itself didn't involve any NPC clerics. I don't really care for the core pantheon though, and keep meaning to make myself up a default pantheon to use, probably based on...

I like almost everything about 3rd Edition. My favoritest thing though is that any race can now be a member of any class. This is the change that made me give 3E a closer look and ultimately brought me back to the game. After that I like that wizards are now playable and fun at low levels...

This might be green grass syndrome, but right now if I could find a DM who had no house rules, I'd be begging to join that game. My current DM uses a lot of house rules and a lot of optional rules from all kinds of sources, and I really don't care for it. I just wanna play D&D, not some freaky...

That's an option I'll definitely keep in mind.

I passed the Herald level test to get my RPGA membership, but have never gotten to use it as either a judge or player. If there was an RPGA event in my town I'd be eager to give RPGA events a try, but so far I haven't been bothered to try to organize anything or drive two hours to one of the...

Dragon really frustrates me because every time I'm convinced they've completely lost any use to me, they go out and put out one really cool issue, so I renew, only to repeat the cycle. Still, I will probably renew this time, mostly because of Erik Mona's appointment as EIC. I really like the...

For the benefit of anyone still waiting on this from Amazon who hasn't yet contacted them, when Amazon replied to my e-mail they informed me that my order had not yet shipped "due to system error" and that their tech specialists are working to fix the problem so my order can ship. Now it's...

Just out of curiosity, if you factor the release schedule for the Star Wars Miniature in, does that put the combined schedule/output back in line with previous years?

Glad to hear Amazon is finally filling orders for this. I e-mailed them earlier today about the status of my order, figuring maybe they were only shipping to people who had asked what the deal was, but so far they have not replied.

1. As a player I kind of like dungeons. As a DM they bore me silly. 2. As a player I tend to blend my style to the style of the group. As a DM I have a hard time adapting out of my preferred style. 3. As a player combat is fun. As a DM, combat is a chore. 4. As a player I *hate*...

I may be wrong, but I think the shop I played in was more of a comics shop than a gaming shop, but it still had quite a turnout. Guess it depends a lot on the local gaming scene. Still, I'd be curious to hear from anyone who played at a Books-A-Million or Border's, just because a lot of the...

Funny how I don't appreciate things until they're not around. Welcome back EN World.

None of the stores in Asheville were participating in the official event, so Steve and Jason from my regular D&D group and I rode up I-26 to Mountain Empire Comics in Johnson City, Tennnessee. It was a beautiful drive, although we were about a week early for peak leaf season. We arrived a tad...

As far as races and the like go, here's a question to ask yourself: did the upheaval of an undead sun and the landmasses splintering create any new races, or destroy or alter any existing ones? If the answer is "no" then perhaps one way to figure out what lives in the big scary interior...
