My FLGS began to clear out its inventory yesterday by placing on its bargain shelf some 80 rpg books that were either overstocked or items that weren't moving, each was tagged at $5. I used the opportunity to pick up some books that I'll not likely ever use in play, but I've been curious to read...

New Game Thank you for making me aware of your site, I am starting a new campaign and am looking for Ptolus refrence material other that what is posted on the sword and sorcery site. I came to Enworld looking for a product review hoping to glean from it the strength's and weaknesses of the...

Wow... this thread is still alive I haven't been haunting enworld for nearly two years, the fact that this post is still going strong really is impressive!

My wife picked up: Dragon Compendium Vol. 1 GURPS Traveller Alien Races 1, 2, 3, and 4 Three-Dragon Ante (new cardgame for D&D) Permission to order $120 worth of GURPS books while they are still on sale. AND most special of all, a set of Rose Quartz Cystal Game Dice (Rose Quartz represents love...

Well, this might sound a little silly, and its most certainly hack intensive, but for a group with new players I'd suggest Keep on the Borderlands (I think there is a 3.x conversion on Enworld). You can place the keep on one of the boarders with an orc nation and the caves can be a place where...

The first response to this post beat up Trans-Human Space a bit hard. I can understand as tastes differ, but the game is really a very good Hard Science RPG and I disagree that its going to look silly in 10 years. It's a good game that if you don't mind doing a lot of reading and thinking about...

I own most of the old 1E adventures, and I did run this once a very very long time ago... at least 20 years past. I vaugely recall the storyline. This thread is making me want to pull it out again though!

Hardcover I'd requested a hardcover book from my FLGS while they were being sold for $10, but they were unable to get one for me. I have the softback, I just prefer the hardcover books. I walked into Rainy Day Games this evening and one of the employee's there handed me his copy that he had...

Still showing up about this post eh Jim? I have to admit I haven't dived into this post in months and months, but I saw your name on the last post list so thought I'd wander in. I'm glad to see that folks are still getting excited about picking this phone book of a module up. We had a lot of...

Consumable XP I try to encourage things that benefit everyone in the game. The guys bring chips, candies, waters, etc to add to a chest I keep in the game room that we call the "Treasure Chest". Every item dontated provides what I call Consumable XP that is awarded to the party. This xp pool...

Please allow my to link my gratitude to those who have already voiced their own. I'm finding the pieces just enjoyable to play as I do my work. This is a pleasant gift, and much appreciated.

I took the opportunity to not only purchase all the other Transhuman Space books (I owned the core book), but to pick up all the WW2 books, all the Traveller books, and about six other books I've wanted but have held back on. It was a couple of hundred dollars plus change, but its probably half...

Maturity The word covers a lot of ground and implications. I think one commonly held belief about the concept is that a person who is "mature" has gained the experience and level of insight to allow them to differentiate between what is and isn't important enough to risk offending others over...

Amen.

Jim, you know I respect you as a writer and a friend. I've gone out of my way to buy books that you specifically have written, and I know that anything you write will have worthwhile content if you allow it to see print. My experiences with different players are (as we have discussed) limited...

Um... yeah. When I was a kid I had very little cash and so I painstakingly built a large collection of AD&D books and supplements over many years and treasured it all. Now I'm in my 30's and over a four year span have built a HUGE library of books and supplements that I wont be able to exhaust...

I've learned how to organize and encourage the growth and development of small groups of people. As GM I schedule and maintain the group, as well as plan our yearly gaming getaway. I've met my best friends (other than my wife) across a game table, and have learned to listen to people and find...

Alignment is a D&D flavor item. I think its an interesting roleplaying guide, and assists in creating the black and white Hero/Anti hero roles that flavor so much of the game. You can play the game without it, and you can argue that the game would be more "realistic" if they didn't exist...

Pre-release tournaments? This is a new card game then?
