    The problem of sundering

    Yes, Sunder is a problem due to the nature of D&D. No matter which side sunders the players loose. I'm currently playing a Paladin who is sunder focused. I liked the idea of the big armored knight smashing his opponents' weapons and demanding their surrender. But, while I'm really good at doing...

    Is it ok to hate cats and still be a gamer?

    Sorry, Cat lover here. I just have something about having a pet that's smarter than I am. Jack. P.S. Yes, yes I left the door open on that one. Go on, get it out of your system. ;)

    Do Magic Item "Shops" wreck the spirit of D&D?

    This is a thing with a lot of DM's, they think they know what's best for the players and are then shocked when the players don't agree. A good GM says, "welcome to my game." A great GM says, "welcome to our game." Jack

    Do Magic Item "Shops" wreck the spirit of D&D?

    My group uses an equal value treasure share method. We take all the treasure we've found, add up all of it's sale value (remember magic items sell for half their value) and then divide that number by the number of PC's. Each PC now has a pool of funds which they can use to buy items from the...

    Talislanta RPG questions

    Well, Most of the different types of magical expression vary by race. I believe it is possible to learn other styles but it's very uncommon and you won't likely be very good at them. Jack

    Age of Worms H/C - unlikely :(

    Honestly, I don't know that this is really that much of a factor. Roleplayers tend to be more heavily weighted in the early adopter zone of the marketing spectrum. Producing the hardcover is more like a second kick at the can because more often than not they'll sell the same thing to the same...

    WizKids New Star Wars License

    I have to agree on several points. Wizkids biggest problem over the last while is a total lack of market research. Look at the Rocketmen, Nascar Racers, HorrorClix, MLB Sports CLix, Creepy Freaks, Shadowrun Duels and Crimson Skies. They're all dead games (OK Horror Clix is on life support maybe)...

    WizKids New Star Wars License

    OK, For those who haven't already seen, it appears Wizkids has received the license to do a Pocket Model game for Star Wars akin to their Pirates of the Spanish Main game. There seems to be some awful clever word use to make the game sound like a collectable card game and not a miniatures...

    Can anyone recommend a Sci-Fi/Future game?

    Well, No one has mentioned Burning Empires yet so I'll throw that one in. But be warned it is a very different from conventional RPG's. Jack.

    Toronto Gaming Con - Pandemonium XXIV

    There are a few others but Panda is the really big one. This year it is being run by the TRPA (Toronto Roleplaying Association) for the first time and they really want to return it to the gaming goodness it was in years gone by. That said this IS the first year they have run it and I suspect...

    Deities of Knowledge

    I'm surprised, No one has mentioned Wee Jas. Admitedly her Knowledge sphere is directed towards magic pretty much excusively she could still be considered a knowledge diety. Jack.
