All of this goes for me, too, but add to it GregK's earlier comment about not yet seeing any reason to side for the new edition. I don't really like the assumption that 4e is somehow The One True Way and that the rest of us are rebelling against it. The way I see it, WotC should be convincing me...

You can also get the stories (not the Dark Horse set with the fancy art, of course) through the Science Fiction Book Club, where they're collected into two volumes: The Three of Swords (containing Swords and Deviltry, Swords Against Death, Swords In the Mist) and Swords' Masters (containing...

Let's just not distract them at all! :D

Nice find! I loved Ken Hite's work on Nephilim, but it's not a game I could ever get anyone to play. Maybe I'll do a little better with this one. ;)

Just give the 40 year old the 14 year old's phone number. Problem solved!

If you want a brief, but decent write up of Rao (and all the Greyhawk deities) in a handy pdf, try The Living Greyhawk Campaign website. Living Greyhawk Information > Campaign Documents > Living Greyhawk Deities v.2.0

There are stats for Goats, Trained Pack Goats and Rams in Dangerous Denizens: The Monsters of Tellene. The book is on sale now for only $5.99 at their website and it's full of useful 3.5e animals and beasties. Just picked it up myself earlier this month and it's great!

Well, at least I give 'em an "A" for effort. A few of us have been waiting for a while for errata for the 3.5e books released earlier this year and it's good that they're trying. I agree, however, that it would be nice if they'd spent an extra ten minutes proofreading and editing the errata...

Obviously, you haven't seen my barbarian's panties.

Hmm...gamers must be pretty plentiful where you are for you to be chucking them aside because of their age. Being older than/younger than is quite different from being insane, annoying or eerie, however. I'm not sure which is the determining factor here. If you're gaming at home or someone's...

Let's make no one happy and call it: Warmarshal. I don't know. I don't like any of the names for this class. None of them sound basic like Fighter or Wizard. They all sound far too specific. I can't hear "Marshal" without thinking of westerns (though I'm perfectly aware of it's military use)...

That doesn't wash with me. It may be factual on the business end, but if I go to see a movie it's because I want to see the movie. It's not because I want to see the exclusive making-of bonus disc they throw in with the special edition dvd release. These preview books are like paying for the...

I think they need a Warmonger.

That's Boris Karloff as Im-ho-tep in The Mummy (1932). One of my favorite films. *heh* Boo! Like I said they are good marketing ideas. 1) The digital key/introductory D&D Insider offer sounds good. It reminds me of all those "free" programs you get when you buy a computer....all of which...

I kind of have to think that the cat's out of the bag on this one. It's the premise that gets me. With all of this Digital Initiative at their disposal it seems like a far more apt place to put previews of the upcoming game, but I guess that isn't the point. I never bought Dragon magazine for...

You're right on the money on this one. Pun intended. Pretty much. They made the choice that would a) lose the fewest customers and b) intice new players to buy their stuff. Can't blame them for taking the more profitable path. Right on. I don't care for what I've seen so far for a core system...

You've got some interesting marketing strategies there, I'll admit. The problem? One reason I don't want to buy the "Wizards Presents" books is that the very idea of selling previews is a marketing gimmick. I don't buy movie trailers or video game demos and I wouldn't buy rpg previews either...

I can relate. I've known players who won't touch anything that isn't WotC. Conan, at least, has the benefit (or curse, depending on how you view the movies) of being more ingrained in popular culture than say the Wilderlands of High Fantasy or Kingdoms of Kalamar (though I do love both of those...

I can't be certain about this, but from what I've read Mongoose isn't going to producing a competing Solomon Kane rpg. This quote by Vincent Darlage appeared in response to the Savage Worlds take on Solomon Kane: "Some of you might be interested to know that Eric Rodriguez and I are writing...

I think you mean a dedicated ninja can play a gamer in any ruleset. :p
