    Rappan Athuk Reloaded at DTRPG.COM

    Clark: To me, the only "issue" is the disconnect about how a lower-priced PDF somehow undermine the value of the print product. I really doubt (and I've yet to hear anyone say differently) that anybody who bought the print product would get mad, in fact, in some cases they are the one who are...

    Real Thieves Loose at GenCon

    What, you never saw that guy with the inside of his trenchcoat covered in Bics and mechanical pencils? The penny he sells them for adds up, you know..

    Real Thieves Loose at GenCon

    Too bad Magic cards are nigh untraceable. I could imagine this scenario otherwise... *Dude walks into RPG store* "Yeah.. So I have those cards to sell?" *Owner looks at the cards... Gestures towards a bunch of gamers playing in the store* "Yeah. About these cards.. See, I know where you...

    Is this the benefit of an R&D department

    Pop-Tarts were developed quickly, but still are tasty! On the other hand, it took a long time to come up with "Project Runway", and I still hate that show.

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    Nice sarcasm. :) There's a lot of different meanings to the word challenge. I assume that you'd hold the same view with 1st level characters facing an Avatar of Hextor? I mean, that'd sure be challenging! A big part of roleplaying, to me, is threat assessment. Characters shouldn't assume...

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand grins even wider at Marcel's comeback. "But me, mon ami I'll keep those maids happy all night long... The world? It'll go back to :):):):) after an hour." Munching on the fruit, Normand then goes through a serie of stretches, and takes off his boots, making sure there's no blisters...

    Rappan Athuk Reloaded at DTRPG.COM

    I'm not sure I quite understand Clark's argument. Well, no, I'm pretty sure I understand it, I'm just not sure I agree. When a product is limited release, to me it's the actual product. And maybe I'm behind the curve, but I view the PDF version not only as a different product, but as a...

    Humans are a must?

    I happen to agree with your friend. How are non-human races described? Dwarves: They're short, stout, greedy, love beer to excess but are very industrious. They live underground, and even their females have beards! (I know, I know. That only describes -one- type of dwarves, and they aren't...

    For Summer Vacation Joe Peasant went Epic?

    If you take the average fantasy novel that starts with the main protagonist(s) as the equivalent of a 1st level character, and substract "novel" time to remove unenventful travel/whatever, you'll probably find that he levels up even quicker than that.

    New Crunch: I done had enough of this stuff!!!

    Lesse. One of my players decided he'd DM a game. For his own weird reasons, he decided it was going to be a 20th level game, anything goes. Seriously, anything. A feat from some weird website? That's ok. So what do we have.. Me, I'm a wizard with a Pclass from Complete Arcane. That's...

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Ambling easily near the lounging doctor, Normand approaches him with a smile, and a few sips from his own canteen. "Marcel, mon ami.. You are giving us frenchmen a bad name amongst all those foreigners! This was barely a walk. Surely, nothing to need a nap for." With a grin, he moves his...

    Amazon.com no more for game purchases: Hypothetical...

    I'm annoyed with the pro-LGs, anti-Amazon attitude of the industry as is, for the most part, so if it got worse, I dunno.

    What is Ptolus anyway?

    Or, you know, a DM that just doesn't care over much for that part of DMing.

    Worldwide Europe - Are People Doing This?

    I don'[t really see how seppuku prevented it, anyway.

    You say that like it's a bad thing! :p

    Stats for Iuz the Evil in 3.5 ?

    Yeah, I had noticed he had the material plane has his home plane... Then again, so does Farlangh. Of course, in his case, it's easily portable and explainable. I dunno, it's mostly because St-Cuthbert had always bothered me by being so obviously (in my opinion, from waht lil opinion I have)...

    What is Ptolus anyway?

    From what I gathered, it's.. A way of life. Seriously, it's the setting Monte has been using for his own game for a long time. Actually, it was used to playtest some stuff while 3E was developed. And Arcana Unearthed, I assume, since there's elements of it in it. Also, Chaositech...

    Stats for Iuz the Evil in 3.5 ?

    Well.. Darn it, I don't want to turn this into an argument, because I'd lose for sure, since, as I said, I know jack about Greyhawk.. But from my limited understanding, St-Cuthbert would be even more setting specific, or at least as much, no? I mean.. Before 3E, I, as a non-greyhawk player...

    Worldwide Europe - Are People Doing This?

    The point has been somewhat made before, but here's my take on it. For better or worse, default D&D has a pseudo-medieval flavor. Heavy on the pseudo, but still. The two style, medieval and oriental of the same period, just don't mesh that well. The occasional, extremely rare dip can be...

    Stats for Iuz the Evil in 3.5 ?

    Alright, so I know next to nothing about Greyhawk. So sue me. But Iuz is a Greyhawk God, right? How come he's not in the PHB with all the others? Heck, to me, he has more name recognition than many that made "the cut".
