    Player's Handbook II - What is it?

    I believe you are pretty close to the truth. People should look at PH II in the light of what the contents of DMG II were and who the target audience was - novice and aspiring DMs. As I stated in the other long PH II thread, IMV it will be targetted to players seeking to maximize character...

    Why punish a player if they can't come to the game?

    Huh? We do not get xp if you miss a session and it does not bother me or the other players. Not sure I understood you correctly. Are you saying that it should not bother me if the DM choses to "give out" xp to players not attending the game? It has never happened, but in my view it would...

    Why punish a player if they can't come to the game?

    I believe I see the difference; you and a few other DMs and players here; you socialize with your friends via playing Dungeons and Dragons. Its important(?) for your DM that all the players remain at the same level, regardless of attendance, role-playing effort or any other reasons. You don't...

    Why punish a player if they can't come to the game?

    I have been playing for 27 years now and for the great majority of games, no show = no xp period. In our current high/epic game and another D20 modern game the rule by player acceptance is no show = no xp. In my personel D&D home-brew campaign you get full XP for playing your character. You...

    To PDF Publishers: Why landscape?

    I work for an engineering firm as a graphic artist/desktop publisher of white papers, proposals, technical reports, etc. and the only time we use landscape orientation is for briefings/presentations, large diagrams, and the rare large table. I have purchased about 20+ PDFs from RPGNow and quite...

    Magic Item Creator

    Sorry to respond so late, I have never had the chance to play an Eberron campaign and don't know the specific details with the discounts the Eberron crafters receive. I do have the Eberron campaign book somewhere (I read some of the fluff last year). I will have to dig it out and review it to...

    Magic Item Creator

    Body/slot affinity modifier to the price is in there, once you select the item (robe, belt, etc.), choose the ability and select under the affinity column "yes' or "no" if it has affinity with the slot you have chosen. If "no" the price increases by x1.5 of base price. You still have to be...

    Player's Handbook II (and other May releases)

    Hmm, my apologies if someone already addessed this... Perhaps people should look at this book in the light of how DMG II was developed, i.e. crafted to the new and aspiring DM... PH II could well be designed for the new and aspiring players, step by step instructions on character creation...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    Hmm sounds like expansion material and/or 3.5 update to the epic level handbook or an epic level campaign setting. The stat blocks and flavor text would have be almost page size for each NPC and monster.

    Cold Steel Reign?

    Saw the ad in the latest Dragon and I went to the website advertised. I found out it was a dark future alternate western setting. Alas I still did not find any details on game mechanics. Anyone here know what kind of combat resolution system it uses; classes or classless, level progression or...
