Well, for #1 you are going away from the original post of following the DnD rules. ;) For #2, recruiting high level spellcasters, monsters with both physical and spell-like abilities (devils are a good example). Someone already posted a simple, not-often discussed fact. A well-designed and...

Folks, I think some of Clark's honest musings on the Necromancer Boards have lead to a bit of overreaction. We have a year+ worth of books in production right now. This means that Necro is planning to have books coming out through to the beginning of '08. Fans get upset when we don't announce...

It depends on your own game world. My homebrew world does have isolated populations that don't want to mix, but the world has gone through enough that there are a lot of mixed populations simply due to survival issues. I personally HATE the "my mommy was raped by an orc" half-orc thing so I have...

Obviously, as one of the Necro crew I would say "The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps" is the book to get, but I have to admit that Traps and Treachery books are worth it too (First one is best). The other out-of-print Grimmy's books are very difficult to get but they are a very fun read if you get...

Well, I have seen such a wide variety of stats rolled that now when I DM I prefer to encourage point buy if the players go for it. I have had a player that would openly let others use the 4d6 he used for stat rolling (3e, drop the lowest). In anyone else's hands, normal dice (or low), in his...

No time to reply to all of it, but I honestly think that 4e isn't going to be the huge change that people seem to expect. I also believe that it's major feature is going to be packaging a number of computer and online tools for use. I am guessing that they'll also have some sort of online...

Um, gossip? Gossip spreader? (those are the nice things I could think of ;) ) Really, as was said above, the notion of "Journalist" is really very recent. Frankly, even "modern day" journalists show their bias in most cases (both left and right).

Crumb, I was going to vote for you but I want Judges that are easily swayed by money, gifts, and scantilly clad women. Sigh ...

I am totally not allowed to run for being a Judge, but in exchange for truly incriminating photos of Morrus .... hmmmm, we should talk. I mean, pictures of Morrus playing (the game which can not be named without derailing the thread--more--Okay, someone start another flamethread about FATAL to...

Okay, the next strip is up, I believe it answers whether or not she falls ... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0407.html

Well ... I have had a number of near tpk or tpk incidents that I simply never would have expected. Most memorable deaths aren't always in the TPK realm though. Right after 3e was introduced the small group I was DMing for ran into some orcs. One PC had found some poison (very deadly, highly...

As I understand it there was some sort of power outage in Georgia where the server is housed. Not sure what that did but it'll get fixed eventually. As has already been stated, Necromancer Games is still around and plans to be for quite some time. WW (er, whatever the new name is) is still our...

Um, haven't read every post here so don't know how we got from Eragon to Superman, but I took my kids and several of their friends to the movie this afternoon. (possible spoilers below, but there have been spoilers in some of the other posts) My 11-year-old (who has read the books and a WIDE...

Well, I am with Treebore on this. As a joke, okay, move on. Let's just say nobody I play with (or would play with) would ever do something like this. Not that I haven't done mean things before, the meanest went something like this: Group was playing, one guy had to leave, which was fine with...

Most of the "Adventure Path" adventures from Dungeon presume a certain amount of tactics on the part of PCs. If your party doesn't have PCs that are optimized for whatever it is they are supposed to do, it will suffer. In other words, if your Fighter uses feats for "skill focus (basketweaving)"...

My geekiest moment? Reading all of these posts and still thinking, "Dear God, poor Diaglo, he made his wife camp out for the DnD Movie? Yeesh, he is going to be paying for that the rest of his life ..." Okay, there might be a few other geeky moments in my past, I mean, I do write gaming books...

Well, the harddrive on the DVR died while I was at GenCon. In other words, I have no clue what happened, so if someone wants to spill, please do it. thanks.

Okay, so I was wrong about the .pdf price, but it still went down didn't it? ;) The page count is very high, I couldn't give you an exact number, but you'll probably still not be happy with it. Those that have the print product; if you ordered from WW I believe you are supposed to get a coupon...

I have said this before, but it gets washed out, apparently. Alliance has it, you can still (probably) get it through your LGS or possibly even someone like FRP. We have a "sellout" in that it is out of our warehouse. I am guessing the final price for the full .pdf is going to be around $45...

Huh? The boxed set is of the highest production quality and was incredibly expensive to produce. It is a revision of books already released with new levels as well as new maps and artwork. I am not sure what you are trying to say, but the person you quoted is not with Necromancer Games, just one...
