*Jaw hits floor* They wanted to charge you to look at the books? That is the nail in their coffin. I didn't realize they wen't that peculiar. I knew warp went downhill after they moved the store from one side to the other in the same complex. People aren't allowed upstairs anymore, browsing...

Actually, a lot of AU is completely compatible with D20. Some things need to be self contained though, and are very evident. Things like Toughness would be tossed in favor of 'Stable' (Which is actually a little better than toughness even at its lowest form). You could have wizards and...

Despite the rhetoric of people spouting 'Calgary sucks' around Edmonton, I'll fully admit that Calgary is a much better city indeed. I've grown up in Edmonton, and despite only visiting Calgary a few times, I was much more impressed by that city than this one, especially by the Sentry Box (They...

I'd certainly be willing to join up in a game. I haven't *played* since 1994 or so, and I'm itching to actually just sit back and play rather than have to write up an entire campaign (I'm running *two* at the moment, one regular and one AU ).

I'm from the burbs in Edmonton (Well, sort of. Roughly 15 minutes from the downtown core). Its a heck of a move! Though the culture shock probably won't be too bad, since we're all as loony as most Vancouver-ites ;) Currently my game is running every 2 weeks however. I envy those lucky...

Not actually my sacrifice, but one by one of my players. His paladin was a protector of the Cleric in the party. Both were of the same god, and had made it to around 8th level If I recall. There was a battle in a Foundry in a large city involving a lot of black hooded mages and due to some...

Very cute pup! *sigh* I'm not sure why all the pets I own tend to look like this though: Ah well. Must be whatever I'm feeding 'em. *Note - Image was NOT produced by me, and was not linked directly to somethingawful.com.

Or local store here in Edmonton used to have a very good way of letting a person browse a hardcover, yet still have protected books. They'd simply put out a 'perusal' copy that wasn't to be sold. People could thumb through it at their leisure, then nab a wrapped item for purchase. Sadly, the...

...Finally getting the monkey off the fridge. ...Being told that the soft-spots on your skull have closed over and you can finally walk outside without a hockey helmet on. ...Cookies you find in your pocket. ...Silly songs with Larry.

Intriguing! How do you handle the two commoners going up in level, just out of curiosity? I've been toying with the idea of starting a campaign with the party as 1st level commoners/experts/nobles/npc-class and then introducing character classes when they start gaining levels. Currently I'm...

If your truly uninterested in the ruleset, the Warhammer Fantasy RPG books, and some of the Mordenhiem books are some of the most detailed I've come by. A LOT of detail has gone into those books. Please note, I'm not being smarmy here. I'm simply trying to help, since I gather that the...

Anyone else hearing 'Riverdance' when they look at that centaur? Well, I have to say that on a generic scale, these look quite well done, and indeed will fill the niche for pre-painted figs for folks not interested in painting their own. Hell, they deserve to game with painted miniatures too...

Some from both games and strange, strange, strange, strange stories (usually fantasy genre based) that a friend and I write: Beetwhistle Buttersteak - Gnome politician who is right out of the walnut he calls his mind. Blistersheets Magnum - Dwarf with a problem of being a 'rolling sleeper'...

That combat example is enough to make me cry. The last time I wanted a Game book this bad was back when 3e was slated to be released. I *love* the non static way that casting on the defensive is handled in the example. I believe currently you have to roll a concentration check DC20, but I'll...

Ehhh.. No, that's actually not possible, considering I'd be 8 If I were 20 years out of date and had absolutely no interest in 'printing matters' at that time ;) And yes, since I've only been doing seperate small runs of things I've been working on, I missed the fact that plates and format...

Actually, the lack of new art doesn't surprise me in the least. Persoanlly I don't believe this is a 'royal screw'. Why? Well, lets take into account: 1) To have all new art would require new contracts with existing/new artists to commission them (For money) to draw up all new artwork for...

So there I was, back from an excursion of futility (Job hunt) when I decided to shake the digital cables of my favorite sites to see what fell out. When I hit the front page, it took a few moments for it to click that there were three images featured which I had drawn sitting right there in...

Well, I'll plug DMGenie here (www.dmgenie.com ) It's a multi-functional program that can be used at the gaming table, but has a phenomenal wealth of things to use away from the table in preperation as well. It's saved me countless hours of tweaking and rolling up NPC's, especially when the...

I'm both impressed and unimpressed. However I'm more impressed than I am unimpressed ;) So let the confusion begin. I like the look of some of the figures, though I'm willing to bet that they are *not* hard plastics, since hard plastics are die cast, and the casts themselves are more...

Well, I have to say I'm impressed. When I first heard that Wizards decided to go 'gooey vinyl' on the figures, I thought that would be the end of my miniature purchases from them. But somehow.. Astoundingly, they actually found a way to get detail to appear on these bendy little bits of...
