I forgot to put in my list. First and foremost on the list would be DragonQuest Second Edition. I still own several copies of it and I am thinking of getting a new local group together to play it. Top Secret, the original edition. I had a lot of great fun playing this and fighting the cold war...

Just so you guys know, V&V is not longer out of print. Jeff Dee and Jack Hanson, the creators of V&V, have started a new company to publish V&V again. Monkey House Games has released the new printing of the rules and a module already, with more to come. Lots of the old writers and artists are...

For me, the thing about weapon weights is not about encumbrance. It is about knowledge and trust in the game designer. If they do not bother to learn about the weapons in their game, what else did they not bother to learn about? If they don't realize that a twenty pound greatsword is frankly too...

Why is it that nobody ever fixes the ridiculous weapon weights in D&D when they make changes to the system? Just curious.

You know, I wish more game designers would be more forthcoming with their design goals. Because I knew ahead of time your design goals with Trailblazer, I knew that the product was not meant for me. Stating up front the style of game you are presenting is what a good DM does, and I would like to...

I seriously doubt I will be buying the Essentials material. My primary reason is I do not really know what it brings to the table. It does baffle me a bit, and maybe someone can help me out here. What makes them Essential? Why should I use the Essentials material instead of just buying the PH...

First, let me say that I also do not feel that Pathfinder and D&D 4e are "upgrades" from D&D 3.5. I also did not think that D&D 3.5 was necessary, but that is just me. Be that as it may, the reason I have not switched my game from my modified 3.0 game is because we are not done. We have a lot...

My problem with the small table on top of another table is that I have a mixture of rather short (barely over 5' tall) and rather tall (over 6'4") people in my group. If I make the main table low enough for the shorter people to see the top table, the tall people cannot sit at the table...

Well, I was at The Source in St. Paul, Minnesota, and saw it on the shelves. That was yesterday, so I am sure it is out there at other places too.

That would give you one suit and the two jokers. How you randomize it so you can possibly get the jokers while rolling a die is beyond me.

Ok, so you have a deck of cards totaling 54 cards. Your chance of drawing a specific card is 1:54 or a 1.85% chance. Your chance of drawing a specific suit is 13:54 or a 24.07% chance Your chance of drawing a specific value (A, or 3, or whatever) is 4:54 or a 7.41% chance. Your chance of drawing...

I think the problem is that the product that is out is in portrait format (higher then it is wide) and people want it in landscape format (wider then it is tall). That is why they are trying to get the product launched.

There is a way to check the dice, if the other player is willing to cooperate. The test you want to conduct is called a Chi-Square Test. It involves rolling each die a large number of times, recording the rolls for each die. Then you do some quick math, consult a table, and you can tell if the...

For me, the primary desire is as a backup for my physical books. If I am sitting at my computer and have an urge to look something up, I can view it quickly without having to search through my large RPG library to find it. Plus, I can print out a few pages for a player, if needed, and not have...

Ah ha! I finally figured out this whole pun-pun thing and why I have never heard of it being attempted. It assumes that your DM allows you to play a kobold, that you are using Forgotten Realms or it's creatures, that Assume Supernatural Traits is an allowed feat (where does that come from...

Hands down, all-time favorite fantasy RPG is still DragonQuest. Find a second edition copy if you can. Everything you need to run a fantasy RPG in one book. Second favorite would be GURPS. Pick an edition, really, they are all good.

I can tell you that no, they are not new rules. The version just published is what they are calling Villains & Vigilantes v2.1. It is basically the second edition rules with typos fixed and a few things added in the appendices. All new artwork inside, new layout, with plans to publish new...

I have a bit of a problem. The game I play the most is not the game I am most interested in. I am playing/running a D&D 3.0 (house ruled) game, but I am really interested in using Pathfinder. I should also say that I just got ICONS and that may become an obsession for awhile.

An older version can also be found in the Miniatures Handbook. I forget which page offhand.

OK, so this is what I have gleaned from this discussion so far. WotC books: It is felt that the Expanded Psionics Handbook is the best of the lot, with some general disappointment with Complete Psionic. No comments on the 3.0 books. Other Companies: Malhavoc Press has Hyperconscious, which...
