Can't say much for the rules, but it seems as if the vast majority of the book is a collection of sample villains. Something that might be useful for beginning DMs, but not quite so much for someone whose been creating villains for fifteen years.

Masochist! I've read 11 Forgotten Realms novels and that was 10 too many.

Perhaps it's a variant of "starmetal" and your pcs can all become Pink Star Adepts! *ahem* I suppose there's any number of ways to handle this scenario, but I'm going to tackle it by brainstorming: Magic/Planar Origins: In this case, the sentient gem is the result of some powerful...

My first response to this thread was "What's wrong with acting?" For me (as a DM) many of the best moments in my games occured when everyone at the table was "in character." Then I realized what you were aiming at here. It isn't acting...it's overacting. It's that sort of overacting that borders...

Appendix G (p. 238-243) of the Dragon Compendium features a lengthy (and quite handy) "PronunseeAYshun Gyd." It lists Ixitxachitl as "ik-ZIT-za-chit-ul." It doesn't include Iggwilv, however. While I usually just say "ig-WILV" I've heard some people use "eeg-VILF" (imagine a bad german accent)...

*cheers wildly and returns to grumping*

I've seen these cards mentioned quite a bit in the past few days, but the link has never worked. I'm not disputing that the link is in error, it just never opens properly. Anyone else having this problem?

Does Dungeon #112 "Maure Castle" ring a bell? Eli Tomorast is on the cover and plays a major role in the giant-sized adventure therein. He was also mentioned in the "1d20 Villains" article in the final issue of Dragon magazine (#359). And that's only in recent years. If you want the real story...

Considering it's been said that there are four roles and only eight classes in the 4e PHB, I would guess that the bard is out. Four roles, two classes per role...with future classes falling into one of the same four roles. (At least, initially. Who knows, by 2012 there might be eight roles and...

Both magazines were going for $8.00 an issue for about a year, I think. Also, both of the final issues were about 30 pages longer than the standard issues. Granted that comes out to an extra $1.00 per 10 pages, but there's also a larger than usual poster/map to be considered. Sure, it might be...

:mad: indeed!

As someone who hasn't even seen the book and gained all his knowledge of the Bo9S through online reviews and forums, I'm curious about what sort of game styles they were playing...or what game styles you wanted. I've been considering picking up some of the 3.5e books that slipped through my...

I'm with you! It's the NPCs that really brings the world to life for me, regardless of which side of the screen I'm on. This is especially true for me, however, because I've been running a campaign with only one player for several years. EDIT: Thought I'd add my order preference as well: 1.)...

Let me preface this by saying that I don't have the Bo9S. My understanding is that the biggest complaint about the Bo9S is how it pushed the Fighter class into the ditch. So I assume the majority of those who think it's "the best thing ever" found the options therein better than a feat-laden...

This answer makes me want to hug you. :o

I hope that's the case. I was just about to get in on the Conan RPG when the second edition was announced, so I decided to wait for it. Now that it's here, I'm ready to take the plunge! Why, thank you! ;)

I don't envy you in this chore, but I am anxious to see the final product. Strange that I never gave this much thought until you mentioned it, but "someone" immediately came to mind as soon as I read this paragraph. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Good luck to you!

Rules Compendium And then goodbye WotC! Conan RPG Second Edition Return to the Road of Kings (SEPT) Player's Guide to the Hyborean Age (OCT) Bestiary of the Hyborean Age (DEC) By the way, anyone know if Return to the Road of Kings will be an update/remake of The Road of Kings or will it...

My reason for this is neither odd nor comical. I came to Greyhawk via 3.0e and the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. I enjoyed many of the Dragon articles relating to Greyhawk (particularly the Core Beliefs articles) as well as Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. My interest in and love of Greyhawk...
