    What's the big stink about Rappan Athuk Reloaded?

    Hells yes Patman! Ranged Touch Feat=Ultimate Gross-ness. That little monster started in those Relic and Ritual books and the idea got snatched up by WOTC for complete devine right quickly! Now I believe they cost turning attempts to use but no matter. I just snatched up a vintage copy of Mines...

    Casters, are the fort saves on most monsters too high?

    Good thing friendly sarcasm and humor don't translate over message boards huh? Hahaha BTW fish, im not picking on you at all! I very much hope you get that. You are totally 100% right. It isn't that hard to go after the weaknesses of any critter or PC if a GM wants to. I wouldn't say that...

    Casters, are the fort saves on most monsters too high?

    What about player characters with insane will saves and equally gross fortitude and or will saves? I think monsters need a break! Heck I'd give them even better saves, not to make the wizards and clerics completely useless but to give the poor monsters a fighting chance! The PCs did invade...

    What's the big stink about Rappan Athuk Reloaded?

    Alrighty Remember when you hit up your FLGS to give them this Rappan Athuk Reloaded Stock #: 08366 ISBN: 1-58846-795-3 The stock number is important because thats how they will look it up via alliance in my experience. Technically I don't think it "ships" till Thursday next week but I...

    What's the big stink about Rappan Athuk Reloaded?

    Otter. To reiterate RA:Reloaded is only sold out from the White Wolf warehouse it is not "Sold out" as in no copies to be had until the distributors are done with it. LGS's and some online outlets as have been mentioned in this thread and the other (referring to the sell out) have access to...

    What's the big stink about Rappan Athuk Reloaded?

    No problem Shem, your welcome. As you can see the concepts of what people think RA:R is is definitly as diverse as what people think "old-school" or 1ed Feel is. I have no problem explaining my perspective, because even though you may not like it, the dissapearance of all copies from the...

    What's the big stink about Rappan Athuk Reloaded?

    Alrighty Lots of snarking and sniping hahaha! All Nerd Fu aside. What is this feel that we talk about in reference to Rappan Athuk? Why do those that really love this dungeon think so highly of it? How about this: Ever walked along in a dungeon and just picked up a skull or found a body...

    How close is your gaming group to "Team America"?

    HAHAHAHAHAH Now I have to wipe sandwich off my screen. My current group intermingles quotes from Team America and the DEN sequence of Heavy Metal. Then again, 1/3rd are evil, 1/3rd are good and 1/3rd are chaotic and or neutral. Makes for some interesting interactions... like the cleric not...

    Rappan Athuk: Reloaded SOLD OUT by wide margin!!

    Numion Posted: Actually it has happened. Not on an industry wide scale but it has happened. Large volume business decided not to carry about half of the d20 industry (AKA gaming stuff) about the time 3.5 was launched. OF course they maintain hasbro/wotc and others who had a track record of...

    Mearls redesigns the Ogre Mage

    Agreed, however sometimes it's nice for a monster to just be a monster and have monster stats. I get all the goodies of monster levels and so on... just saying that I think thats the approach that best suits an Ogre Mage... A basic "ogre mage" with a few variants for things it gains as it...

    Mearls redesigns the Ogre Mage

    Most people have mentioned the "useless" sleep spell ability and the "useless" sleep spell in general. The traditional sleep spell became useless with 3.0 and even more useless with 3.5. Instead of dropping it from a monster why not concentrate on making some of the iconic spells not suck...

    Pirates of the Caribbean

    Definitely Cthulu-esque vs. Mind Flayer (which has been mentioned as inspired by Lovecraft anyhow.) If you accept (as you should) that such things as Mind Flayers, Aboleth, Sahuagin, Koa Toa ect. and the like were indeed inspired by the creative works of Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and R.E...
