If you like minis, don't miss Games Plus. They have Reaper, Confrontation, and Warmachine minis just to name a few of my favorites; and all the paints and brushes from both Reaper, and Vallejo (game colours and model colours) are there. An entire corner of their store is dedicated to GW...

If I find any fault with the new covers to products or magazines, it's that they don't inspire or evoke feelings of mystery, awe, or excitement. Dragon Magazine in the 3e era is a great example of uninspiring art. Maybe Paizo is trying to save a few bucks. Who knows? I'd love to put any...

I find it fun as an exercise in creativity. Take what is given to you by the DM and his campaign world, add-in a character concept of your own, and then play out the game. Somewhere in there you develop a kind of back-and-forth dance with the DM, in which you each test the other's creativity...

It doesn't help that what works in Eberron might not work for most D&D games. Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms have enough in common with standard D&D that it doesn't need much adjustment, if any, to use with my D&D game. Eberron doesn't appear to be nearly so suitable. It won't help if Dragon...

From what I've gathered on their forums, it is mostly held up due to the writing of a good user's manual. Software is just one of those things where I usually dive into it head first--as long as I know it won't screw up my computer. Waiting several months for a user's manual seems pointless...

I do have a tendency to forget my arcane spell failure when wearing armor. But, then again, so does the DM. Now I just use a big post-it note on my spells sheet that says, "10% failure!" That has worked well. The DM has also allowed me to ignore spell failure outside of combat, which is also...

Send in the hobbit to burgle something! *edit* no hobbits, eh? Hire one at the local shire! :D

Well, I always liked taking four levels of fighter for the weapon specialization. The extra fighter bonus feats can make up for the levels taken in fighter, so you don't lose much at all except your highest barbarian class abilities. You can take fighter anytime during your barbarian career...

Poll? Where? *edit* Well now its up. :) I usually start replacement characters one level below their previous character.

I've been curious about this ever since I saw it at GenCon. I've been waiting for version 2.0 ever since. Waiting, and waiting, and waiting. If I thought there were a bigger pool of gamers using the software I wouldn't mind the price so much, but it's hard to find online gamers willing to pay...

In my last campaign, I removed the comprehend languages and tongues spells specifically because I didn't want the mystery of languages to be overcome by magical means. When my players magically ported to a much older continent with a different elven population, I used sylvan as their base...

Is there any reason you couldn't convince somebody else to "research" the information for you without openly saying as much? It doesn't appear to be that difficult an obstacle to me.

That depends on your profession (farming) skill. :D Well, you did say, "in general." I couldn't stand too much more detail. This isn't Farming D20 after all.

I've driven by the one outside Chicago for almost two years. Never been in though. All I know is what I saw on "The Cable Guy." :D I don't think they let you use utensils. So, wash your hands really good!

Well, I could see how some DMs might not want a dwarven wizard, or a halfling paladin. As long as things like that are worked out in the beginning of the campaign, the DM has a responsibility to be fair to each of the players and their characters. IMC, I prefer to avoid half-races. [the world...

According to his EN World banner ad, "Grim Tales" has been out since last Fall. That's a long time to tease his fans. :) Bad Ben. Bad. Looking forward to the book though. Got a regular game to go to tonight, but I'll see if I can logon and maybe capture the chat log. Is a chat log going...

I've had the Monsternomicon since it first came out. I love the layout of the pages, the descriptions, and even the size comparison icons of each creature. But, overall, I have found little use for MOST of the creatures from that book. I suppose it really depends on whether the creatures from...

"Okay, who did it! Who shaved my head!"

It was a devil war, right? I'd wish for a token that would prevent devils from ever stepping foot in the village again. Of course, it's best if the token were somehow fragile, or needed regular care or feeding. That way you have all sorts of excuses for a plot hook. And it gives the devils a...

It's all about the gelatenous cube baby! :D
