Like 4$$ H4ts?

I'd worry more about the old-school citadel paint from games workshop. Lots of "good stuff" in that mix. Think of the times you used a brush to break away the crunchy chunk at the top after you popped the lid, wiped with a napkin and 2 hours later had hanging between your teeth while you...

Dude, Your data is Amazon.com sales numbers? :p Skewed data at best. Remember, part of Amazon's numbers are related to how many copies are available to Amazon. You're also pointing your whole argument against my assertion that "WOTC still has Star Wars" vs. the rest of my argument, ignoring...

I voted the last, not for myself but because I had a player whose fighter was attempting to become a paladin. His purpose for "becoming a paladin?" to gain greater powers from an enchanted high ego sword that preferred paladins to accomplish its quest against evil. Mind you he was greedy, self...

Wow I can't believe I read this whole thread. Tho it's been more of an interesting read with less on how editions changed and more on "what can a commoner do and what they can't." My thoughts. Commoners suck. I say 3 HP, AC 10 and they can do what you want them to do be it farm or make beer...

Chaos Tech was Malhavoc, though still of Sword&Sorcery imprint. P.S. Darksun was cool but it is as has been said, most parties looked pretty much identical, a Mul fighter, half giant gladiator, elf ranger i think were the components of most of our party. The only halflings I can stand to...

Not exactly. Wizards manages tons of other brands. If they don't make money on D&D they aren't exactly done for. Possibly Wizards loses the current design staff at most and control of D&D as a WOTC published product at worst. Worst case scenario being Hasbro actually steps in and takes D&D away...

You know, even with "death off the books" vis a vi the Raise Dead spell and it's ilk of feats and spells that allow the raising of outsiders and what not, there is still permanent death in the game, especially at higher levels. During our "final battle" in a 21-22nd level campaign one of the...

Piggy backing on what Der Kluge mentioned about 3rd party developers/and WOTC ties. Chris Pramas: of Green Ronin formerly of WOTC, Monte Cook: Formerly of WOTC. These are easy home run balls. Everyone knows this. How about this? Anthony Pryor: Formerly of TSR, Formerly of Sword&Sorcery...

Wichita :( We've had some game days but no con in 5 years now after the last one collapsed and no likelyhood of one anytime soon. People just don't give it the go that they should and prefer to play in their "home groups". Go to soonercon next year. It isn't all gaming, its mostly sci fi and...

As a little aside> Der Kluge (Curtis) Have we met before? I've been to Gorilla Con, Sooner Con, a couple Conestoga's and usually run a pile of games. Missed GC and Conestoga this year but am likely to hit up one and/or the other next year. (Gorilla Con this year conflicted with St. Patties...

I knew that was going to come up, though I felt I had "over posted" a bit already with the last one. You are absolutely right Kem, they sure did start cranking out a ton of books towards the end of the 1ed era. Dungeoneers Survival Guide, Wilderness Survival Guide, Manual of the Planes et.al...

There is a lot of truth to this coming first and foremost from me with my GM hat on vs. me with my freelancer hat on. When I started running/playing 3.0 version it was fun, interesting and there wasn't a lot of material 3rd party or otherwise available except the core rule books and a couple...

Thanks for the quick reply to my "non problem". Hahaha! I guess I really don't post that often anywhere. 2 years on Dragonsfoot 45 posts 5 years here. 78-79 ish posts. 5 ish years on TLG. 115 on their new one, under 100 on the old one 5 going on 6 years at Necromancer Games 1006 posts and...

Never mind, guess the problem was my brain. Took me a minute to figure out what was going on and how your counter works. Sorry for wasting your time. Case

I would tend to believe I only have 76 posts... in that I post infrequently, usually with a large post saying everything I need to say and im not a flame meister like some. (Come to think between the 3-5 boards i'm a member of, I prolly have under 1000 total message board posts since 2002.) I'm...

Bouncing off the above ideas, there is nothing wrong with having someone or something more powerful come along and rescue the PCs so that the PCs have a debt of honor or what not to repay. (Maybe even treasure). Nothing wrong with attempting to bribe the guards with information, or a promise of...

For whatever reason PCs getting captured seldom happens (in my 25+ years) of gaming. The 3ed route lends itself (IMHO) to a certain player mindset that they are more or less invincible, and if some challenge spirals out of the grasp of their billion feats and feat books or billion spells and...

Buy it with Beans? You betcha. Certifiable Magic Beans that is. :D
