    Rogues stealing from their own party

    I don't necessarily prevent it as a DM, but as a player if my character discovers another character has been stealing from them that other player might be going through character creation real soon.

    Fantasy Races and Originality

    I always feel that there is plenty of scope in the basic races, especially by using and developing the cultures. I tend to suspect players who say that core races and classes are 'boring' either lack imagination or else are trying to find some kind of munchkin setup that will give them an...

    What is the minimum level would you play if you were never to gain xp again?

    I voted - Are you crazy as I'm not sure I can imaging playing D&D without advancement, but if pushed I'd say level 2

    What's wrong with the big companies?!

    Best of luck Dougal, I spent a couple of years working for a large Israeli software supplier for telecomms companies before being made redundant. I'm not sure which of the UK telcos are hiring, generally BT is getting rid of staff on fixed line, but T-Mobile UK is currenly hiring, but the jobs...

    [request/rant] To all reviewers, amateur and pro...

    A lot of good points there and its one of the reasons all the reviewers ask for feedback, but sadly we rarely get it.

    Leading Ladies Showdown Final: Wonder Woman Wins

    Leia, but with a heavy heart as too many much better female characters have gone - Emma Peel, Granny Weatherwax, Ripley, even Buffy, - all of course IMHO

    Halloween: Love it or hate it?

    I sort of like it, but I'm anti having an americanised version everywhere in the world, trick or treat to me is pretty reprehensible thing to encourage, especially as kids in the UK don't seem to get the idea that tricks are meant to be pretty mild (knocking over trash cans) rather than throwing...

    Philosophical question: Do games become "obsolete"?

    Maybe because I think that there are one or two posters around that dislike any implied criticism of 3e. Generally this is a sensible and polite board, but when we start getting close to edition wars stuff people can be a bit sensitive.

    Philosophical question: Do games become "obsolete"?

    It's funny seeing all the 3e lovers stating how much more evolved their editon is compared to earlier D&D editions, but ignoring how RuneQuest2 pretty much had everything that 3e brought to D&D (Unified mechanics, comprehensive skill system) and some more (usable system of hits to particular...

    What about a reviewer do you want to know?

    Would people want to see this for all reviewers or just staff reviewers - to be honest its easier with staff reviewers to get an idea of their tastes by looking at their other reviews as there will be a lot more to see than for a more average reviewer like Pinotage or myself with less than 50...

    Good historical sources?

    Recommendations would depend a lot on which period you are looking at. Lots of the ones already recommended are useful so I'll concentrate on adding more. Liza Picard has written a number of books about life in London in different eras, Elizabeth's London: Everyday Life in Elizabethan London is...

    [request/rant] To all reviewers, amateur and pro...

    I agree that one of the problems of being a reviewer is lack of feedback most of the time, personally I do always mention if complimentary copies are recieved - otherwise I hope readers will assume I've paid for it. I try to be upfront about biases, e.g. Wilderlands stuff will tend to have notes...
