When the WLD was announced I was incredulous. A massive dungeon crawl with 800 pages? Sounds like a hackfester’s wet dream. Once I had a chance to look at it I realized that Alderac did a fantastic job with it, and in essence gave me 15 large modules for the price. It was a bargain. I've been...

I rarely ever loose a player. The last three players I've lost over the past six years were all removed by myself and the group. Earlier on, when we were younger I lost players to life changes (jobs, etc). I can't say that I've ever lost a player due to a more interesting hobby. There isn't a...

Thank you Diaglo, but this one isn't very complete. I was hoping someone with more time on their hands than sense had done a list from issue #1 up. This list goes back only as far as the mid - 200's.

Has anyone done an index of the articles in Dragon Magazines over the years? I have a huge collection of the magazines (as well as the 250 mag CD's) and I find them less than useful because there is so much material there that you can't possibly search them through to find what might be useful...

There is no "Once and For All" regarding this question. The question is relevent to the person who answers it, and everyone has their own opinions. One of my games has reached the 14th level of play and the players are demigods. I've used the 3.0 rules straight up, and they are absurdly...

Heck, my group and I still play 3.0. If 4.0 comes out and its as much of an improvement as 3.5 was I might be able to consider purchasing it as there will actually BE enough new material for me to justify buying the books over again. Then again, probably not. :\

Ahh Crothian you wound me man. My wife and I have just agreed to alter our spending habits and start putting more money away. She agreed that she now has more beads than god, and I have hundreds of game books that I need to actually read so we are halting our purchases and switching our...

A weatherproof laptop satchel, the laptop itself, and pdf files. ;)

Eh, I'm sorry but I can't agree with you on this one. If you tell your best friend that you agreed with the group that his/her behavior was wrong but chose to abstain out of loyalty to your friendship, I seriously doubt that would be viewed as spinelss. In addition, I feel honesty is always your...

Well, considering the age of the game I can't imagine the ShatterZone books are leaping off your shelf. Send me a list of what you have left and I might be interested if I don't already have it. :)

I have an embarassing admission to make. I confused the game Battlelords with another eBay lot I won around the same time. A game called ShatterZone by West End Games that is long out of print. I located a link to the action deck on PDF and purchased it for $5. Thank you for your offers of help...

Thank you Thalmin. If you find the deck for me I will order it from your shop if you are a store. :) It was my understanding that this game was long out of print. SWBaxter, I will check the webring, thanks for the help. Dunno why I didn't find it before. My google fu must have been weak today. ;)

I purchased a lot of these books off of ebay on a lark. The game looks interesting, the mechanics are a bit complex and unweildy, but the game is quite old. Is anyone familiar with this game? There is an interesting concept in that you have cards you can play in combat that give you special...

Thank you for the clarifications Guardianlurker. Bartmanhomer, I really am lost , I have no idea what you are looking for here.

Souls are the currency of the underworlds. Strike up a bargain with a Gereleth, one of the PC's souls for transport to the next level. The PC's have to decide who the unlucky PC is going to be. Since the PC's don't belong there they can't truely be petitioners, however due to the nature of the...

Well, the obvious answer is that he would spare the villan regardless if the villan spared him before or no. I re-read Guardianlurkers post and thats not what he appears to be saying, though that might have been his intent. Only he could clarify. An Exalted character who killed the afore...

So if a character was exalted, he'd loose his speical status, but if he wasn't he'd gain that status? Eh...? What am I missing here?

The two longest run campagins I've ever GMed lasted just over 3 years. The first was an Earthdawn campaign and one PC made it to 7th circle (much differnt scale than D&D). The later game is my 3.0 Dreams of Glory campaign which has been running for over 3 years now. We play consistantly twice a...

I think before we can address this topic the question needs to be cleaned up a little so that we understand what you are asking. It sounds to me like what you are asking is can a "good" character who is fighting an "evil villain" ignore the villain surrendering and pleading for it's life, and...

This is a great thread, I love other people's stories, thank you for starting it, and thanks to those of you who are participating. One of my grappling points in life has been with the fear of success or failure. When I was in the third grade I was given a test, a very hard test for someone of...
