    Desert of Desolation Riddle of the Sphinx

    Usually, the tradition with the noose is thirteen, not ten. That was tradition throughout most of Europe, and most especially in England.

    What to put on DM laptop?

    If I were to use a laptop at the table, and frankly I just don't see that happening, here's some things I would put on it: Copies of PC character sheets (we use either eTools or Timpani). Character sheets and/or combat data sheets for NPCs and monsters. Electronic version of adventure maps (and...

    Who's getting the freebies from RPGNow?

    I sent a message to their tech support, and it seems they had a database crash last night and have been fixing it this morning. Things have been up and down all morning due to that. At least once this morning it appeared that we crashed their server, but that was resolved fairly quickly. They...

    Fear of Girls 2

    For me, the funniest thing was discovering that they filled this in Minneapolis. I recognized The Monster's Den, the location at the beginning of the movie, and two of the female gamers are familiar from local theater/film productions I have seen.

    Who's getting the freebies from RPGNow?

    Sadly the Twilight: 2000 scan is rather dark and hard to read. Good thing I actually own a copy. Some of the others look interesting. I am not interested in all of them, so I have been doing a pick and choose so far. Quality/usefullness is, as you can imagine, across the board. Still, it...

    Spin elemental, spin

    Okay, so I looked throught the various messages on air elementals, and there seems to be little agreement on it regarding the whirlwind attack. If a character is picked up by an elemental, what can the character do during its turn? How many characters can a Huge elemental carry at once? Can...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e.

    TO be honest, I checked, and I lied. I bought two things recently that were not Dungeon Tiles. I gor Dungeonscape and the Magic Item Compendium. I got these mainly because they are easy to use/convert to my 3.0 game. I have not bought many things from WotC recently because I have not liked...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e.

    Erik, I have no doubt that it will be a successful business for Hasbro and WotC. I imagine they are going to make lots of money. I also know that they will be doing it without my money. My current gaming group has several more years of 3.0 games to play. While we are all adults and can...

    Desparetly need riddles and clues, please!

    Normally I can give you about 100 good, old fashioned, rhyming riddles at the drop of a hat. Needing them tailored, however, means writing the from scratch. That would take me more time than you have, unfortunately. Sorry I can't help. If you just need a few riddles, let me know.

    The Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Graz'zt

    As you said, it's entirely a matter of taste. I can't really explain why I do not like the art, and the description I gave is a poor example, but it's the best I can do. I don't know, the art just looks bad to me. Not my taste at all.

    The Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Graz'zt

    Wow, I was underwhelmed by the art, to be honest. It reminds me of, well, I am not sure what it reminds me of, to be honest. Sort of low budget CGI meets old RPG art. Not impressed by the art. I have not had a chance to fully read the article, so I cannot comment on the text yet.

    Which "I" Series adventures have you played or ran?

    I am actually getting ready to run Tomb of the Lizard King starting the first weekend in November. This one is just right for my group, and I think they will have a lot of fun with it.

    Points-of-light is not just for post-apocalyptic fantasy

    I never really thought of it strictly as a post apocolyptic game style, but also as a Dark Ages style. However, I kind of object to a style of game being given as the standard. What if our group never wants to play that style? We may want a more Renaissance era style, or more like the Roman...

    What's old is new

    That tends to be my problem too. Well, except that I would change it to 3.0, since that is what I run. I might end up doing it myself, I was just hoping to find someone who beat me to the punch.

    What's old is new

    I have been sorting through boxes in the garage recently, and I stumbled across some old D&D modules. I don't remember ever running them, so it's like looking at all new material. I was thinking of using a couple of them for my current D&D group. The problem, as you can imagine, is converting...

    D&Disms That Make You Go "Huh?"

    How does that work with Large or larger snakes or other sinuous creatures? I never did understand that change in 3.5, which is one of the reason my group stayed with 3.0.

    Gnomes in the MM!

    I say this because, compared to a racial entry in the PH, anything in the MM would be a passing reference. Why remove them from the PH in the first place? What is so cool about the half-demons, excuse me, Tieflings, that they get a place in the PH at the expense of the gnomes? Why not take...

    What format do you prefer for the gaming material you use?

    I said mostly print with some electronic. To be honest, more often than not I will print and bind the electronic items to make them easier to use. I do not like sitting in front of my computer working on game stuff. That is what my couch is for! :lol:

    Gnomes in the MM!

    I didn't miss it, I just don't agree with their removing the gnome from the PH and dumping them into the MM with only a passing reference to being a PC race. My personal, and highly biased opinion is that they are doing this because the designers can't come up with creative ways of playing...

    What would you like to see brought back from older editions?

    I want gnomes in the PH. I want Illusionists as their own class with their own spell list. (OK, that's all optional) I want major artifacts to have potential bad side effects, or require unusual actions to activate them. I want a wide variety of real world polearms. I just want them to stop...
