    Conan 2nd Edition

    Well, I just couldn't wait for a reply to my original question. (Though I'm still interested in hearing from anyone who has the 2nd edition book. Speak up, Mongooses...er...Mongeese...of EN World!) I've already ordered a copy of Conan 2nd edition. I'm doing so through Amazon so if the book falls...

    Conan 2nd Edition

    First off, let me say that I'm not exactly sure I put this in the right forum, but it's late and I don't know of any other way to get an answer to these questions. (No FLGS in the area, unfortunately.) Alright, so I really want to pick up Mongoose's Conan 2nd edition, but I've heard some pretty...

    Greyhawk: Doomgrinder? Uh oh.

    Ask not for whom the doom grinds. It grinds for thee!

    Wilderlands Roll Call!

    I recently started a Wilderlands campaign (3.5e) in the City State of the World Emperor (Viridistan). Unfortunately, my one and only player is going through some difficulties at home/work right now and the game is on hiatus. Hopefully we can get back to it soon. He's playing a Warlock. Now I'm...

    D&D 3.x Does 4e sound more D&Dish to you than 3e did?

    I think WotC should hire you to be their spokesperson for 4E. I haven't liked much of what I've seen of the changes so far, but after reading your take on it I'm almost convinced to give it a try. That's the first time I've said that since the announcement, too.

    So...did Dragon wow you?

    My thoughts exactly. Web Enhancements were great when they were free and you got them because they gave you something extra for the money you put down for a printed book. They're not so great on their own, however. Nonetheless, it's the article on Graz'zt that I'm really looking forward to...

    How much is a "preview" book worth to you?

    I'm not paying for previews. Period.

    I don't think Exemplars of Evil is doing that hot

    If this is true I advise you to buy them up quickly and put them on eBay where the cheapest copy I've seen is going for nearly $40 USD and most expensive is priced at $80 USD. ;)

    Dragon #360 and Dungeon #151

    5th edition, already? Whew...glad I didn't go for any of that 4th editon stuff! ;)

    Disaffected and Affected Setting fans!

    Eberron Why I never took the bait... Eberron looks to me like a gilded collage of leftover ideas. Its bombastic art style reminds me of World of Warcraft and its pulp-noir-steampunk-kitchensink mentality just doesn't appeal to me. While it does contain concepts I like, they are all mixed-up...

    Disaffected and Affected Setting fans!

    Forgotten Realms What hooked me... What really hooked me about Forgotten Realms was the fact that it is so intertwined with the fantasy world in general. No other D&D setting has so many novels and video games to support it. Even if you've never picked up a d20, many fantasy fans and gamers...

    Disaffected and Affected Setting fans!

    Greyhawk What hooked me... The Living Greyhawk Gazeteer (LGG) was my first proper introduction to Greyhawk. While I'd been playing D&D for about a decade before 3rd edition hit the stands, most of the setting was a mixture of homebrew and Hollow World (the only setting I purchased during the...

    What we're all waiting for...full frontal nudity!!

    When I was running a game back in '92 I had an isolated village of nude tree-dwelling nature worshippers. One of them (a female, of course) ended up joining the party as an NPC, where she eventually adapted to wearing clothing and armor, though not without some rather comical moments. However...

    Little Known Rules of D&D

    Has anyone considered compiling these little known rules in a file format? They'd be somewhat handy to print out and stick in the back of the core books.

    City of Brass: Knowledge (Physical Universe) - wtf?

    Gosh. You would have thought I'd know all of that considering I have the Player's Guide to the Wilderlands three feet away from me. :heh:

    Why is there no dwarf-hate?

    Umm....what?

    City of Brass: Knowledge (Physical Universe) - wtf?

    I imagine it's simply the reverse of Knowledge: The Planes. Just as characters on the material planes must learn Knowledge: The Planes, so a planar native must use Knowledge: Physical Universe to understand the material plane. The only problem I see with this is that it becomes a Knowledge skill...

    Why is there no dwarf-hate?

    All of my hate is reserved for the races of Eberron.

    Where's the Errata?

    Unfortunately, I have to agree with the general replies you've gotten so far. Web enhancements and online errata for individual 3.5e products are likely a thing of the past. I would like to hope otherwise, but from what I've seen so far, we're old news.

    Boxed Sets

    QFT Of course, I came to gaming during the transitional period from boxed sets to hardcover books. The first three D&D items I purchased were black box D&D Game, Rules Cyclopedia, and the Hollow World boxed set...all in the early '90s. Interestingly enough, I didn't purchase another boxed set...
