    Urban Development!

    My thoughts are that a village or city has a **much** lower suspension of disbelief than your typical dungeon or even wilderness adventure. Players have a pretty implicit understanding of what a village or city should be, and any violations of it stick out pretty obviously. I bet this is why we...

    [Poll with discuss] What's your DM style?

    Throw 'em at the vipers and watch 'em dance. Sorry. Thinking out loud again. Uh... Fairly and justly. Yeah, yeah. That's the ticket. (; Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    [OT] Naming a child Arwen

    Diana's fine. You can say: "We named her after the mythological character, not the divorced celebrity" and leave it at that. Connotating that someone's only interested in the lives of celebrities ought to shut them up quick! Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    The more I read about D&D 3.5. the more...

    And if a player whines "but that's not what 3.5 says" I'll slap five levels of Warrior onto the troll that's attacking him. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Prayer for a new cover

    **Far** preferred the "let's play it safe" 3e covers to the 1e and 2e standard useless fantasy art covers. At least the 3e covers were unique, distinguishing themselves from the standard d20 fare. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Another "best product thread" -- with a twist

    Clark Peterson & Bill Webb: Tomb of Abysthor Speaking of Mearls, "Siege of Durgam's Folly" gets my "Most Overlooked Adventure" award. It's been reviewed extensively on the net, yet only one other reviewer noticed that it's a very good adventure for newer GMs. It's linear enough so new GMs...

    Is the Everquest RPG now d20 compatible?

    Technically yes, but most gamers will point out that you might as well not mix the D&D PHB and EQ PHB together (eg. the experience levels are gained at different numbers of experience points, EQ has no prestige classes, EQ has somewhat different skills, etc.) EQ MM should be able to be used with...

    ENnies 2003 Judges!

    If Psion becomes a judge, I'd like to be a EnWorld staff reviewer. (; Anyway... * RPGnet reviewer with over 20 reviews. * OgreCave reviewer with over 10 reviews. * Previous experience in online collaborative projects ("Best of 2002" games articles) * Review turnover of one week. Opinion in 1-2...

    Humorous d20 adventures?

    Once I get my hands on Munchkin d20 I'll start running games, but does anyone have suggestions for modules that carry the Munchkin feel? I think Necromancer Game's "Night of the Gobbler" is a good fit, but not the old Greyhawk adventures. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Who does Steve Jackson Think He's Kidding???

    Will you be gaming in 20 years?

    I think I'll have more time to game in 20 years than I do now... :/ Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Retail Gaming Store Economics [LONG]

    Re: Beginning Inventory? Y'know, I bet the answer is "it depends on your area". The FLGS has a good handle on local demand (even knowing which individual Yu-Gi-Oh cards to stock!) and she still has discounted titles. One thought, which electronics and retail stores do all the time, is to...

    Old Dragon Magazine Covers

    FWIW, In the old OLD days of the Dragon, we had the cover art framed by solid yellow (or some other color). The quality didn't match today's art (or maybe I just have a crappy issue!), Phil Foglio's painted covers being a definite exception. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    Call of Cthulhu: Advice needed for a new GM

    Do a search on RPGnet. I think they has a recent discussion about new CoC GM there. Summary of my two bits: * Description: Do your best not to name the monster or even describe it fully. Describe as much as possible of the monster **as it approaches**. Include odors, evidence of its behavior...

    Who remembers SnarfQuest? (:

    k -- Just posted a review of the SQ RPG Worldbook on RPGnet, since it gets fewer d20 reviews than EnWorld. I'll assume someone will post it on EnWorld. I **think** I should have discussed how difficult it is to simulate comic book physical humor in d20, tho. Feel free to start a new thread on...

    How to organize a gaming convention?

    Don't know if there are websites dedicated to organizing game conventions, but there are for anime ones. I'd also contact local game conventions and ask them for advice. (Make a long-distance call instead of asking them to type everything!) Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

    [Rant] Oh. My. God. He said no!

    Random comment: As a CoC GM, I'll introduce an NPC whose sole purpose is to appear to be useful, only to trigger the deathtrap and die a horrible ugly death. Not sure how to integrate this into D&D, but that's one way to get a message across. Anyway, another vote to kick Bob off the island...

    Monstrous Mini's -- where do I get 'em?

    Random thought: Bug a MK player for his commons. MK players don't need many MK figures to play and these commons pretty much gather dust. Get the knife out, cut off the figures, and remount. MK figures make fine "one foot away" figures, and you can repaint them at your **leisure.** When you're...
