If I'm not mistaken an event very much like this takes place in one of Prachett's Discworld novels. Perhaps The Fifth Element, but I cannot be certain. Regardless, one of the things I like most about Prachett's dwarves is their dual nature, depending on their environment: "There is a tendency...

Unearthed Arcana - Having a multitude of options is the greatest strength (and weakness) of 3.0/3.5e, but few books did it better than Unearthed Arcana. Races, bloodlines, Paragon classes, variant classes, weapon groups, backgrounds, alternative spellcasting...it's just fantastic. Fiendish...

I've never liked the idea of D&D being for elite strategists. I'm all for casual mediocrity, thanks. ;)

As a DM I've learned to fudge this one. First level characters who survive the adventure without making huge blunders (i.e. Paladins who slaughter everyone at the tavern just for kicks) automatically advance to the second level. In fact, I try to make the first level "adventure" a prologue of...

It doesn't remind me of it so much as seem exactly like it.

Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) by AEG Werewolf: The Apocalypse by White Wolf Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium

I get what fits my game. However, I like a wide variety of game styles and so a wide variety of options. I generally limit the books in play to those that apply to a specific campaign I'm running. This keeps me from having to deal with several dozen books during each session. I also tend to...

Agreed. I've been picking up dozens of issues via eBay in the past month and I have to say I wish I'd had a subscription for the past four years! Great stuff. Many thanks to E.N. and the gang! Way to bum me out, man. :\

I must have missed the never coming back part, myself. I did find it odd, however, that the "Continuing The Adventure" seeds on the very next page (it says there are eight, but I only see five...) mention returning to Castle Greyhawk for more adventures. This would be complicated somewhat by...

Sorry I'm not providing any further information on your question, but I'd like to know the answer myself. While I'm certainly not planning on dishing out any money for the leatherbound editions, I have considered upgrading to the "Special Edition" updates of the core rulebooks. However, not...

Hold on a second. Didn't the later (regular) prints of the core rulebooks contain the same errata found in the special editions? In fact, I'm fairly certain they were labeled as such on the title page...

What about Scarred Lands/Scarn? Oh, and it should be Rokugan. Not Rokogun. :)

If were going to keep using the Vanilla explanation for something which is plain, typical and relatively dull, I think we should all read this. ;)

I don't have that many single volume rpgs, but I'd have to say A Game of Thrones by Guardians of Order.

First of all, this thread is making me hungry! Second, let's try hamburgers instead of vanilla ice cream. Lots of places sell hamburgers, but that doesn't mean all hamburgers are alike. A hamburger from McDonalds and a hamburger from Red Robin are very different indeed, though basically a...

I really don't care. By the way, this should be an option in every poll. Hooray for apathy!

As the DM and the only person in my gaming group to spend so much as a penny (and I've spent a LOT of pennies over the past seven years) on rpgs, I can safely say that I won't be ending/switching my campaign over for 4th edition.

I pretty much feel the same way. I really want to pick up all the Conan 2nd edition stuff from Mongoose Publishing. I keep wondering if they're mad as hell that this 3.5e launch came at just about the same time WotC announced 4th edition. Hopefully they'll continue to support it "as is," but I...

Yes. Hey, even I liked one of them! ;)

I have to agree on Wulfgar. He looks like he's melted...which is pretty odd considerng Icingdeath is white dragon. ;)
