    Dragonkard... what do you think?

    I like the concept, but I am not terribly fond of the card backs. Plus, to be honest, I would prefer to have some that are blank on both sides. I would also like them in a couple of sizes, but that is just me. So, while I find them interesting, I do not think I will be getting any.

    Holiday Gift lists.

    Looks like someone wants to go duck hunting! Or maybe goose? I am not a big hunter, but I love it when my friends and relatives do it. Up here I am waiting for some friends to start deer hunting season.

    Holiday Gift lists.

    Let's see, the top of my Christmas Wish List is: a JOB (being unemployed since February is a bit tiring). Gaming material I would like: GURPS Campaigns Silver Age Sentinels stuff other than the main book and the Roll Call books Mongoose Traveller (pretty much everything they have available)...

    I just played my first Rules Cyclopedia based game

    Wow, really? In both BD&D and AD&D I don't think I ever lost a 1st level character. Now, 2nd level characters died a lot, for some reason. Maybe we just ran away more than most.

    Swear At & Insult Your Players

    Read the plays of Shakespeare, therein lies many a great insult. Most especially, read Othello. That one has some of the best I can think of. A few of them are very subtle, and some are as blunt as a bowling ball. One of my favorite insults comes from Othello. I will paraphrase it, since I...

    Your Dicebag and You. What makes a perfect Dicebag

    I have used a host of different dicebags over the years. One was a dicebag someone in my game got as a gift and decided it was too small. One was a big bag made of black homespun cotton material, I think. Another was made of leather, and there were some others I just can't remember. These...

    Resurrecting old RPG favorites.

    I would like to see DragonQuest brought back. First I would like to see it in the original form, then possibly added to and upgraded. I am not sure what I would want to see upgraded in it, but I am sure, given some exposure to it that people would see some things that could be improved or...

    Kobold Quarterly #7

    Well, I know that I did not intend for my comments to bring up something like an edition war. Just so you know, I think that D&D 4e is great, it's just not for me. When Jack99 brought up that people should have tried harder to get Wolfgang to switch to 4e I just felt it would not hurt to...

    Kobold Quarterly #7

    TO be honest, I would much rather he stay where he is now. Try as I might, I just can't get enthusiastic about 4e, so I appreciate the 3.x/Pathfinder material that is being produced. As soon as I get started in a new job, I will be renewing my subscription to KQ. Now, if it were to switch to...

    Explain to me what OSRIC is

    Thank you for the recommendation. I actually have copies of the original books. I also have photocopies from the late 1970s that have been stapled, restapled, stained, folded, and gone through a lot of other loving abuse. Fun game! The campaign has been going on since the 80s, and it's a hoot!

    My anti-D&D LGS

    Got to agree with you there Scott. If I was running a game store, and we carried some D&D products, I would want people running games in my store so people can learn about it. Now, if the people running games in my store became disruptive, damaged my store in any way, or did not buy anything...

    What is your favorite Wild West RPG?

    I know that people tend to avoid mentioning it, but GURPS Wild West is a good game setting. There is a lot of historical info, info for making a fantasy west, even info for doing a lost worlds meets the wild west game. I find the system easy to use. You just scale the level of detail to suit...

    Editable Calendar with Notes?

    Honestly? If I want to make a calendar for a game I just open up a spreadsheet and make the cells an appropriate size. Note can be added and can either print or not print, and I can adjust the calendar to be exactly what I want. I can also add symbols for lunar phases and the like. Really...

    Explain to me what OSRIC is

    I am going to sit and impatiently wait for you to release it. However, if you need a professional editor and proofreader to look it over, then I will offer my services. Either way, I am patient.

    Explain to me what OSRIC is

    I am now just a tad jealous. Looking forward to eventually playing with this. In the meantime, tonight is my OD&D game, so I need to grab my character sheet and get ready to go kill stuff!

    What Would Get You to Subscribe to Dungeon?

    Besides the standard request of wanting a print magazine over a digital one (but would not mind a print magazine with digital extras) I would prefer a magazine that covers more than just 4e. Articles for older editions would be great, as would articles for other game systems. Actually, if they...

    When did 4d6-drop-lowest first appear?

    I'm one of those scary people who not only knew the correct answer from memory, but if I thought hard enough I could probably have given the page number. I know I could grab my book off the shelf and flip to the page quickly enough.
