Reaper will be making Bones versions of their dungeon accessories. If you pledged at the Vampire level for their KS last year, you'll get them. See update 37: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-an-evolution-of-gaming-min/posts?page=11 WizKids made some *nice*...

Biowizard just posted what you can make from two sets plus the current stretch goals. Current stretch goals amount to "Buy two, get one free", or $40 per set. http://www.dwarvenforge.com/forum?func=view&catid=3&id=50491 Painting terrain is ridiculously easy. Foam brush and craft paint should...

Core books sell. Everything else doesn't. We've had four core sets of books since 3rd edition: 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and Essentials. It's just as possible that the D&DN playtest is a *result* of this dictum, not to mention a PR stunt so that, when 5th edition comes along, Wizards won't have their...

fwiw, Do a little Googling, and you'll find premade character sheets for each Origins, including their special powers. Unfortunately, the GW box is *not* 8.5x11, so you won't be able to fit your notes and other sheets into the box! Speaking of nerdrage, there's been quite a bit of it on the...

I suspect that you could easily "port" the full 4e mechanics into GW -- good use for that Rules Compendium book. (: I bet the stripped-down 4e rules in GW were there for the new players (charging isn't in the D&D Starter Set, either) or dubious "budget" reasons. Thanks for the session report...

So I have a papercraft party I'm going to, but would like to get some D&D play aids made. I have the D&D core set and will be purchasing the Essentials, except Players Books and Tile Sets (for now). I actually haven't played D&D since 2e, and am not up-to-date with the erratta. I guess I'm...

The Paranoia rulebooks do an *excellent* job setting the stage of the game. If you haven't read the GM advice, it's one of the best roleplaying advice I've read. Tips: * Tell your players that you're going to run Paranoia. Ask *them* to tell the others what the game is about. They'll probably...

Thanks much for the responses! aka. Washu! ^O^

Wasn't able to find an answer, but what's to prevent a PC from burning XP to create a Huge Number of scrolls and casting them ad nauseum during combat? Any GMs had this problem with their players? Thanks, aka. Washu! ^O^

I just picked up the D&D Basic Set. Those mini's look great! Much better than the terrible paintjobs that originally came out. Anyway... * Not sure how important it is, but I sure like them stat cards. Shove 'em in a CCG box, take out the ones you need, throw them and the mini's in a box and...

Yep. SMALL. Tiny. Miniscule. Call it mininiature inflation. (: Miniature's haven't been true 25mm for ages! The standard (thanks GW!) is something like 28mm. Bummer. OTOH, the D&D mini's don't look too bad on the dungeon terrain pieces. Dark, moody, and stuff. I'm revising my general comment...

Posted my comments on the d20/OGL D&D mini's thread, but wanted to mention that I think the scale is small enough so you could use MageKnight Dungeon plastic tiles: I believe two D&D mini's should fit just fine onto a typical MKD tile. Oh -- And if anyone in the SF Bay Area wants to trade their...

Agreed! (: Should have mentioned that the selection from a starter won't give you enough mini's for a "typical" rpg session. That is, instead of a skeleton dog, I would have preferred if they included a variant skeleton. Instead of an oriental monk, I would have liked to see... oh... goblins...

I love 3.5. I managed to get a complete set of D&D books for $30. (PHB 3.0, MM 3.0, and DMG 3.0, lol.) Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

(Also posted on RPG.net.) Went to the FLGS today and checked out the miniatures for the D&D game. For $20, the D&D miniatures set comes with 16 miniatures (1 rare, 5 uncommon, 10 common), cardboard dungeon terrain, miniature stat cards, rulebook, and a d20. Contrary to the advertisement...

So would you be willing to pay $5 per miniature for a non-random set of pre-painted miniatures? That's the going price for this a line of pre-painted non-random miniatures at the FLGS. I don't know how well the sets are selling, but randomizing figures are a **huge** benefit for the FLGS: *...

Let's see... * By selling the D&D books through non-hobby outlets, they may be enlarging their customer base. Emphasis on the may, since online selling isn't the same as retail selling. * WotC's hoping they'll either make more money this way, or sell more books, neither which is particularly...

Agreed. Also, is the GM requiring the spellcasters to recite incantations? The barbarians to shout battle cries? The dwarves to be literal? The half-orcs to be scatalogical? (: In my 10+ years of GM'ing, I've never required players to be "in character". If a player isn't comfortable, or is too...
