Congratulations and keep 'em coming! We all have a sacred duty to fill the world with gamers... Seriously, though, there is nothing more rewarding in this world than giving life to another and nurturing it. I am amazed every day at how my four daughters have grown and changed into young women...

LOL Since you asked nicely, you can look here on planewalker.com to find what's been released so far. :D

I was born in Wabash, Indiana to a long line of Brethren ministers, grew up in Clinton Township, Michigan just outside of Detroit and now live in teeny tiny Greeneville, Tennessee. I'll be 33 next month, I'm married with 4 kids (all girls) ages 1 to 11, and my wife is a wonderful gamer girl I...

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but they have a bunch of videos up on the <a href=http://www.gencon.com>Gen Con site</a> now. This morning I watched the short interviews with Richard Garfield, Ed Greenwood, and James Wyatt, the entirety of the House Rules Seminar, and some of the...

Best d20 Game Sláine RPG (Mongoose Publishing) - Author: Ian Sturrock I own the Farscape rpg and know nothing about the rest, but based on the hype and raves I remember when it was released, I go with the above. Best Adventure The Banewarrens (Malhavoc Press) - Author: Monte Cook I don't own...

My bad. Apologies to Sarah Wallen, whomever she may be...

He said the scheduling of Euro Gen Con over the Easter holiday was based on marketing surveys (I don't know how far ahead they were conducted) that indicated Easter was not that big of a holiday in England, plus the availability of the venue. He stated that attendance was way down from previous...

Just as with DarkSun, Mystara, and Birthright, Wizards of the Coast has given permission to the webmasters of the official fan sites for those campaign settings to convert old material to 3E/3.5E. No one has licensed Planescape or any of those other worlds at this time...the only ones currently...

I always start with the framework of the campaign setting and then find an appropriate module. Currently, we're playing in the Forgotten Realms. I let the players select their characters' regions and write their backgrounds, then saw that most of them chose the southern regions (two characters...

1.) What is the best number of players at the table, whether as a DM or player yourself? Ideally, four plus the DM, as the game is designed to support. However, having one or two extra players is handy for keeping the party alive when someone consistently can't make the game. 2.) How often...

Clerics with 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion) gain a +2 bonus to their turn undead checks. :D Not really hidden, as it's listed on the synergy bonus table at the beginning of the Skills chapter, but definitely a pleasant addition!

According to Peter Adkison in the Gen Con Indy chat on the Wizards of the Coast chat site a couple weeks ago, the plan for Gen Con SoCal is to start small and build. It has been attempted before, but without success. If it really bombs like Euro Gen Con did this year, they won't continue it...

Re: Lurkers, Non-Genconners, Tell us about your games, please! 1.) How many players in your group? Six, counting myself. 2.) Do you DM? Yes. 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? No. One of the players has not played since 1E, one played 2E but didn't try 3E until my campaign...

I have four daughters, ages 11, 7, 5, and 1. The oldest has little interest in D&D, but she likes the idea of playing that she's older...she's read and made a character for the d20 Modern game. Unfortunately, none of her friends are interested, so she spends most of her time playing Yu-Gi-Oh...

Just as an interesting aside, I asked Skip "The Sage" Williams in the Sage Advice chat at Wizards yesterday why the size change was made for Large and tall creatures. In 3E, the majority are 5 ft. square -- now, they're 10 ft. square. He said it had to do with the focus on miniatures...no one...

If I remember correctly, the Miniatures Handbook will contain the mass combat rules.

I wrote them awhile ago, but I made them available to Planewalker for use in the Planescape 3E conversion. Of course, that project stalled for a year; when it finally picked up steam again, the decision was made to develop faction memberships independent of prestige classes. Since they don't...

I realize it's way overdue, but I've finally posted the balance of the Planescape faction prestige classes as web enhancements for my article, "Fractious Factions," from Dragon #287. They're just in time to need updating to 3.5. :D If anyone is interested, you can find them at my site...

The only thing listed under the heading of "celestial" is the celstial template. There are angels (astral deva (CR 14), planetar (CR 16), solar (CR 23)), archons (lantern (CR 2), hound (CR 4), trumpet (CR 14)), eladrins (bralani (CR 6), ghaele (CR 13)), and guardinals (avoral (CR 9), leonal...

I second Kershek's response; if you like all the background info that deals with making a movie, it's well worth it. I'm also addicted to commentary and outtakes, both of which are present as well. I just watched it with my gaming group after our session last night, and they loved it. They're...
