    Vecna: demigod, god, or lich?

    I like the idea that Vecna is simply a very very powerful wraith that while he can temporarily be destroyed if encountered in wraith form, when someone uses the hand and eye, he begins to possess them. The people useing the artifacts start to think they are vecna because vecna is slowly taking...

    If you had to cut one element from the D&D game...

    Cessium. I almost never use it. Seriously, Skills, Feats, and weirdness of the bonus system (luck, circumstance etc.) Here is how I would "fix" the bonus system: I would make stacking based on object location (no more than 2 rings), and what game stat it modifies. Thus- anything that...

    D&D 4E Will 4E be announced at D&D Experience?

    One way to tell if 4e is comming: The art stops. Lockwood and WAR and all the other artists for some reason become booked, or their production slows down. WAR is Dungeons coverboy right now, though, I have not seen much from Lockwood. But a new edition would require new art (or so we would...

    Listonshire or Red Hand of Doom?

    Truthfully? Both. But if you have to pick one per month, I would say Listonshire. Less were printed, and if you are buying it in print you want to get it before they become difficult to get. Then next month buy Red Hand of Doom. Aaron.

    Would the D&D brand manager please stand up.

    I completely forgot that Charles Ryan was let go from WotC a year ago. Reaiming thread. I was wondering if the current brand manager was talking to the fans. I was also wondering if he can answer this question: What is taking so long for the approval of Paizo books? How many compendiums...

    Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser's Nehwon and Wilderlands of High Fantasy - Compare?

    Some of the Lankhmar stories can get sort of wacky. CSIO is pretty much a version of lankmar and Greyhawk is a version of CSIO. The misogyny shoots way up the later Leiber writes, and Howard as a whole was not that misogynistic when you consider all his fictional works. Oftentimes people...

    D&D Rules Compendium (Hardcover) - October 2007

    If the rules compendium means that I get the cool environment rules from the environmental series (especially ship rules from stormwrack) and some of the rules from HoH, then that means I will have to buy less books. I am looking forward to seeing what is in this.

    SCI-FI: SG-1 is out, Flash Gordon is in

    BSG and LOST are two shows that need to, in the immortal words of Monty Python and the Holy Grail: GET ON WITH IT!

    Number of feats for a human cleric 7 is supposed to have?

    Simple. My brain is fuzzy, no books here. 3 or 2? why?

    Coolest. Monster. Ever. Thank you.

    ABC moves 'Lost' out of 'Idol's' way

    My theory on LOST is that it is designed to run in circles until ratings start to drop off because of the above stated frustrations and then they will start to explain what the numbers mean and what is going on, leading up to a big finale and making sure the ratings stay up in the last season...

    Current classic D&D bestsellers

    re: the cyclopedia- I was never too much a fan of the companion of master rules. I love the B/X though. If only race and class were clearly separate in the BX line, I would be playing that. Come to think of it, I could home brew, but then I would just be playing C&C.

    Current classic D&D bestsellers

    From my understanding, the super modules are modified a bit from the originals. Not much for Temple, Slavers, and Queen, but Egg is sort of forced. I know I prefer the original Hommlett to the one that was published in ToEE, mainly for format reasons.

    Opening can o' worms

    I think that there should be a mutual exclusivity clause WRT Adventures and Campaigns and Campaign Settings. I think Campaign Setting and Campaigns should be separate categories. Shackled City, Rappan Athuk, would both be campaigns even though they have setting material. Wilderlands and DCC...

    Dungeon layout, map flow and old school game design

    Melan, you left out two entrance exit points in FoF. also I think there is an extra loop in sunless, not to mention an exit into the underdark,

    When a warrior stands at the wrong end of a crossbow...

    With Black Lotus. He's a Baron, obviously he's rich and can afford it.

    Ability Score Generation

    It is interesting that many players don't want their character having less than 10 in any score. Why not start at 7 and just roll 3d4? Intersting method BTW.

    Implied wounding

    I have been trying to make somthing where I don't have to do anything to a monster's stats. VP/WP was a pain as I had to keep track of too much stuff. Too many special cases.
