I was able to create 3e characters in about 15 minutes provided I used only the Player's Handbook. Now when I had the Complete series (among others) to use , I was looking at an hour, unless I was doing a very basic cookie cutter build I had found on the net.

Actually, I now want to use the phrase "By Demogorgon's third head!" as soon as I can. Though I probably shouldn't. :p

I've actually asked Josh about the supplement here. Too bad they never released it. He put in waaay more work than he needed to, and as I recall he exceeded the word limit that he was paid for by quite a bit, which made it not being released only more irritating. Do you know who it at WoTC it...

Matt, I just noticed this thread, and would like to thank you and Brian for a wonderful adventure. And as someone who also started with Pool of Radiance and went on into the Forgotten Realms with Ruins of Adventure, I'd like to especially thank you two for *finally* getting Phlan right. The...

I would put forth that it wasn't Tolkien, Howard, Leiber, Vance, Moorcock, or any other author often referenced, that really had the biggest influence on D&D as much as the LOVE of fantasy, history, mythology, and adventure that Gygax and Anderson shared that really made D&D what it was. Anyone...

The black ooze reminds me of that Creep Show segment on the lake. Man that thing still kind of freaks me out. :p

They've been reprinting Dark Sun novels since September 2008. The person may be just handling the reprinting of the line and nothing more. :hmm:

Papers & Paychecks. That was my first thought when seeing the thread. :)

I just use Gygax's explanations in the 1st Edition DMG (Page 61): Damage scored to characters or certain monsters is actually not substantially physical - a mere nick or scratch until the last handful of hit points are considered - it is a matter of wearing away the endurance, the luck, the...

I think the monster is just faking being asleep to avoid suspicion for the escape.

Pretty much what I was thinking. I love D&D and all it's nerdy little children and friends.

The preview definitely has me excited about the new Hackmaster. Especially now that the required silliness is gone. This will be the first Kenzer product I've picked up in a long time. :)

Cool, Pair A Dice in Vista is participating. I've been meaning to check that place out and this gives me the perfect reason. :)

I alluded to it by stating that at least it was getting back to it's roots. But yeah, I remember how many people were upset that Neverwinter Nights by Bioware wasn't going to be a proper follow-up to the AOL version. Not that it stopped them from using the toolset to rebuild the AOL NWN. The...

He's quite correct, they were the 3e Barbarian, Monk, and socrerer that were in BG II. From a developer chat log before Baldur's Gate II was released: Q: why are you using 2nd edition rules, with some 3rd edition additions? got it A: We thought that it would be fun to include some third...

WoTC has plenty of say on it's video games. Obsidian has noted that one of the reasons why NWN 2 monsters look like they came straight out of the Monster Manual is simply that it's the path of least resistance. If their own artists want to deviate or display a little of thier own creativity with...

Made last year. Role-playing games aren't the only entertainment medium enjoying an old school renaissance of sorts.

Creator of the "Monte Hall" gaming style. He's a villain he is.

I like it. But then again, that's how the gods came about in a campaign I created a few years ago. Cthulu/Old one types invading the universe and corrupting it, caused the gods to come into being to rid it of the foreign entities. Strange thing is, I can't remember what book/setting gave me the...

Gah! Carved into his back? That would be torment!:p
