I have always been curious about Campaign Cartographer over the years and I have read a few threads her on the boards but the $80 price tag just always kept me away from a tool that I may or may not take too. Pro Fantasy has dropped the price to $40. I would be interested if folks think this...

Bards. I like and appreciate the idea of them but it is the rare individual that can play them worth a damn or GM with a game with a Bard in it that isn't sitting there the whole time thinking "this is a great game if it wasn't for that annoying Bard". I think they are almost better off as an...

I would seriously recommend the old Dragon magazine articles by ???. I'm drawing a complete blank right now but they ran in the early 80's as a complete serious on the various demi-human races. They were also compiled in the Best of Dragon 3.

While I am not technically "playing" right now I do prefer D20 over anything else. I have played for a very long time and have many systems. At this point in my life I have dedicated so many resources and so much time to D20 that I have absolutely zero interest in learning another system that...

Like most here, I consider myself a pretty proficient Word user although never formally trained. I have been writing my campaign book over the years and I was actually using the old word doc template from the softcopy of D20 from before it was released. I have now cut & pasted, inserted...

I will pick it up for no other reason that it mirrors my homebrew in in some many ways. It will be interesting to see how some one else extrapolates similar ideas and what areas I never thougth of.

My spending has gone way down as I have not been able to game in over a year and half with very little opportunity in the near future. My last two purchases were about a year ago. T20 and then D20 Star Wars off ebay. There are a few I would like to get but probably won't until some sort of...

Outstanding. Now quit looking in my windows. :]

I was spoiled for about 6 years in DC where I had a steady group that managed to play consistantly about three times a month over that period of time. Since July 2002 I have moved to Tampa and my wife and I have had our first child. The dice have not left the bag since I left DC. I still come...

I agree with Gothmog and I have restructured how I do experience now. BUt I will say I prefer to GM games under 10th level so it is somewhat of a taste thing for me.

DC is a hidden gaming mecca. In the 10 years I lived there I had a contnous group fo good friends for 6 years. We were never in need of players as folks drifted in or out. Wonderful city to live in if you are young and single or even attached sans children. One of the best consitent employment...

I used these rules from Dragon to give a PC wizard a staff of the Magi at first level. It was his great great grandfather's. Unfortunately the campaign ended at fifth level and while the player had discovered what he had he never really got a chance to power it up to its full extant. He...

Looking for info on 3E across the web I came across Eric's site. I have been coming ever since and enjoying this incredibly well supported commmunity.

I have done it once or twice but this concept usuallu comes up more in skill selection. I will usually spend skill points on very relevant but not neccessarily "effective" skills. Animal training for a fighter that grew up in a hrose breeding family. Cartography for the rogue son of an...

Frostburg is also where the Redskins do their preseason training. Property values are much more realistic than closer in. I have only been threw once while I lived in DC but it seemed nice.

Rogue, followed very closely by fighter. I think they are the most interpretive class. Take two human rogues or human fighters and even with just the core books you can end up with 4 very different charcters.

Way back in the day I had a fighter (sort of a desperate paladin wanna be) that got the first +2 weapon in the party. He named it Needful after some weapon in a "norse" tale. I can never remember the source. I was 13 and not very original. Later I (different character) had a special purpose...

I realy enjoyed running Sunless Citadel but my ALL time absolute favorite start off module is "Under Illefarn". Penny for Penny one of the best written modules I have ever run. Though set in the Realms it needn't stay there. I'm curious if anyone ever did a conversion for it??

I will buy the book because it will be interesting to see someone else's interpretation son the same concepts. My own campaing world (and submission), Stormworld, is very similar. It will be interesting to see how someone that can actually write well pulls off some of the concepts...

This was very well said, Sir. I made a similar point in the previous thread, though no where near as articulate. Information is relative. When it comes to basic mechanics I will answer to the player compeltely an accurately. When it comes to information about the world itself I will provide...
