    WotC 2006 September to December Catalog info, updated with novels

    Wait a minute... Star Wars Starship Battles has the Super Star Destroyer Executor as a standard fig that is supposed to be in scale with tie-fighters and xwings, right? If one x-wing, or even a miniature intending to represent a whole squadron was the size of a D&D imp figure, wouldn't that...

    PC spinning out of control

    Nah, the guy was disruptive, selfish egotistical and unrepentantly abusive of the rules. He directly cause the deaths of other characters TWICE. When told "Sorry, man.. this really isn't going to work out" and asked to leave he said something like "I'm not going to leave till my character dies...

    Who here has bought Transhuman Space?

    It should run just fine off GURPS Lite. It is Powered By GURPS which usually means it is self contained.

    PC spinning out of control

    Sounds to me like the player is being a jerk. The problem with using tactics against jerks is that they tend to feel put upon and say things like "Why are you picking on me?!" The key is to get the player to stop being a jerk. Try to remind the player somehow that the point of the game is for...

    Just got my Dragon Compendium - Pretty!

    Okay, since I am a weak impulsive minded spendthrift I went out and bought the thing. I'll do a rough breakdown of the Monk vs Battle Dancer here. Skills, no real difference. As mentioned the BD's BAB is better and only Ref is good. The monk takes out mooks like nobody's business (flurry)...

    Just got my Dragon Compendium - Pretty!

    Nice... nice. Any sort of acrobatics/tumbling sort of stuff? I think my Carnival Crew based campaign might be shaping up nicely. The Montebank is a smooth addition, and the jester sounds like a fine match too. If you have the time I'd like to hear more about the others. I didn't think I...

    Just got my Dragon Compendium - Pretty!

    Well, yes, but how and why is it worth a 20 level class?

    i need evil and insane.

    And overly done. especially with the ogre nipple ring jokes. Oh sorry, it is just me that is sick of that part. Anyway, go get a book on the Inquisition's practices. Seriously. Those people had a LOT of horrible things to do to people and without too much rigamarole. Seriously. You...

    That one is better, mine was just a quick google search for "orcus symbol" when "orcus" didn't work out.

    Can I get a basic rundown on the Compendium Classes?

    I'm not really looking for a level by level breakdown, but just a general idea as to what makes them special. It will be some time before I get to pick this book up for myself so I appreciate anybody who wants to sell this chapter to me. Thanks in advance!

    Shackled City vs Age of Worms. FIGHT!

    I should have clarified that format isn't really an issue... sorry! So for actual content, you are saying you are liking AoW more than SC?

    Shackled City vs Age of Worms. FIGHT!

    Lets say you had to recommend an adventure path to somebody and you only had two choices to pull from. Which would it be and why? Thanks for your time!

    Pope to change D&D cosmology

    There was an interesting article in National Geographic many many months ago that mentioned growing evidence suggesting that the Aztecs would dope up their victims to the point where they might not have even been concious. The article said a new theory in anthropology said that the Aztecs did...

    What do you think of the Eberron-specific races?

    Changelings have the shapeshifter subtype, making them qualify automatically. They can use their Warshaper abilities whenever they are not in their true forms. By the RAW at least.
