So, I am trying to decipher this, since I am still unfamiliar with 4e nomenclature. The bag is not usable by low level characters, right? You have to be somewhere close to 8th level to use it. For me, that sort of defeats the purpose of a Bag of Tricks. I give it to low level characters to...

I am actually expanding my 3.x collection! I am not planning on using 4e, so I am hoping to fill in my book collection. So, I am on the hunt for a lot of books I never got when they first came out.

I've been playing Original Traveller (aka little black books) since 1979 and will probably continue playing it until I stop playing RPGs all together. I also occasionally play MegaTraveller, though it is not my favorite version.

You might want to start looking at antique stores, especially larger ones. Also check your local newspaper/craigslist for estate sales. In both cases keep going back, don't be afraid to haggle on the price of something you like, and don't settle for the first thing that comes close. This is...

But, couldn't you have also played "by the book" by rolling dice or using the standard array? Why choose the 22 points method? The standard array is the first one mentioned in book, then the point-buy, and then rolling dice. I was just curious.

If I were to play in or run a 4e game, that is what I would do.

Believe me, I did that, and was not finding anything I really wanted. I was hoping someone might just have some already stashed away, or something they made that they were willing to share.

Okay, so I am doing some business cards for someone who wants polyhedral dice as a graphic on their card. The problem is, I have no idea where to find some good clipart of said dice. Anyone have a good source for this?

My current game group plays every other Sunday from noon until 6:00pm with an elaborate dinner break somewhere around 3:00 or 3:30. We play from late October till late May. The summers are set aside for family stuff, and August and September are filled with the Minnesota Renaissance Festival...

Back to the original intent of this thread.... I think it's great that No Name's SO has found an RPG she enjoys. There is no one game that fits everyone's taste. Some will love D&D 4e, some will loathe it. Some people (like myself) love GURPS, while others cannot stand it. There are games...

Yes, I have three women in my game who came to gaming voluntarily. All three of them can be described as "gamer girl hotties". Not only that, but previous gaming groups I have been in have all had very attractive women in them. So yeah, not only have I seen them, but I encourage them!

Besides GURPS (which I played and wrote for), Hero System, Unisystem, and FUDGE, I can also include Simply Roleplaying! by Microtactix. While all of them are good, I would have to rate GURPS as my favorite of the lot.

My group buys what I always imagined every player would buy. We're playing a variation of D&D 3.0, so everyone has a 3.0 PH, a miniature of their own choice (painted by a couple of the players), and their own dice. These people are so obsessed about their dice I would be shocked if everyone...

You know, it's kind of funny. I was not looking at this at all from the PC standpoint. I was looking at this from the view of the dragon. I wasn't playing "guess when the dragon will breath again," I was playing "when do I get to breath again," which are different games! The dragon knows...

I am not sure if I said this here or on the KQ forums, but here goes. If KQ ever goes to complete support of 4e I will stop my subscription immediately. I do not like D&D 4e, I do not plan on playing it any more than I already have, and I don't plan on spending money supporting it in any way...

You know, I read something in this article that did not make sense to me. Let me throw in a couple of quotes to show you what I am talking about. Okay, so let me see if I am remembering my probability data correctly, because what they said there has me confused. The chance of rolling any...

I've only been a player sporadically over the last 10 years. When I make a character I tend to write them out longhand, designing the sheet to fit my personal needs. Of the seven characters I have made for OD&D, MegaTraveller, Lord of the Rings, and Champions during that time, I've only...

I am glad to see I am not the only one experiencing slowness and network time out issues. I thought maybe it was me. I started to really notice them a couple weeks ago when I switched to Firefox 3. I thought maybe it was an issue with Firefox. Connecting to ENWorld, loading threads, even...

<whining voice> Hey, come on, I gave a calm, balanced, sane, and rational reason for my middle of the road rating! Don't I count?</whining voice>

OK, I hope this doesn't derail the thread, but what is the difference between the printings on that subject?
