    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Ah, yes. I finally get to check in on one of my favorite tales of all time. :) How is it going, Old One? Hope all is well for you and the family. I am in NJ now, getting settled into the house. I didn't read any of the thread cause I didn't want to spoil any surprises. I left off when Rose...

    [Completly OT] Xbox or PS2?

    On the Zelda matter, where did you hear this? Is this for real? If so I think my decision is made. On the Christmas push, I have been studying all the sale papers from Best Buy to Circut City to Comp USA. NO ONE seems to be budging on the price or giving away any goodies for either the PS2 or...

    [Completly OT] Xbox or PS2?

    I do have kids, and they love the Mario type games. I don't really care if it plays DVD's, it is going in the family room where the big TV and the DVD player is anyway. :) I checked the game lists for those available, and found what I like: BG: Dark Alliance D&D Heroes (not released yet)...

    [Completly OT] Xbox or PS2?

    I am just curious, I was thinking of getting one, just cause they are so cheap, (I got a coupon wich brings it down to $124). Any particular reasons why? I haven't bought a console game since SNES, so I don't know much and don't want to make a bad choice.

    I found my D&D passion again. 1E basic: White Plume Mountain

    I was a heavy duty 3rd edition myself. However, I tried to write adventures for it and produced some horrible attempts. I even tried to make magic items and monsters for the various submissions, but all were either terrably flawed with regards to game mechanics, or totally lacked the flavor I...

    Selling old books?

    I second the convention suggestion. However, if you really can't wait for the next one to come arpound, you could also post on the www.dragonsfoot.org message boards in the Wanted /For sale section if it is 1st ed/2nd ed type stuff.

    Classless, Levelless, Expless RPG's?

    Vaxalon, I know about JKR and here disdain for a RPG. What I meant was, since I have been away from EN World for a while, did you post anything like a Story Hour about it. Again, I can see if you didn't cause of the fine line of messing with other peoples IP that was not intended for open ended...

    [Pulp Heroes] Thrilling Adventures Update

    I have to say I think Pulp Heroes was the best thing WOTC has done in a while. Nice website. Do you have any game logs?

    Classless, Levelless, Expless RPG's?

    Re: Big Eyes Small Mouth Sorry for the quick hijack, but I have been wondering about BESM for a while. I am looking for a simple game and have told to check out BESM cause it does all genres and still remains simple. I would love to hear about you Harry Potter game, too. Do you have any...

    Ah yes, Mr. Nutkin! Good to see you again. How is Margo? I really don't even lurk here cause it is a HUGE board to keep up with anymore. But I still see some of my old friends are here, so I come back on occasion.

    So you dislike 3e...Why post here?

    Hello old friends. Good to see you all. No time for the backstory of my whereabouts, but I was directed to this thread from my cronies from Dragonsfoot. So, I figured I would come back to where I started and take a peek. I have to say, when I was a heavy 3rd ed guy, I didn't like DF. There was...

    WSmith's Eleventy-First B'day Party

    Thanks for all your kind words. I enjoyed very much the Cheap and Cheezy Mini pages. They were fun to create. As always my email will remain wdsmithjr@hotmail.com I will probably lurk in the future just a little, but but for the most part, it is time to move on and do some things I really need...

    [OT] Advice/thoughts on New Zealand

    Almost ten years ago, I lived in Hawaii. I was at the Polyneasian Cultural Center looking for a hot dog stand or something like it near the bridge to the Maori section. Looking like a lost tourist, one of the actressess came over to offer my assistance. I tell you what, I think I had fallen in...

    Who still plays Basic D&D?

    I am not sure what exactly you mean. It didn't have balance, in that several hundred playtesters didn't playtest the kinks out of it and crunch the numbers to make sure all rules fit nicely like a finished puzzle, (which is a very good thing mind you when trying to create the "best RPG")...

    D&D for very young kids

    Yeah, I am thinking the sorcerer is the way. I am going to stick the scaleback for now, only cause of time constraints do not allow me pour time into the new version option. Essentially, the scaleback is no different than regular 3e, except in two ways. First the choices are limited. The...
