Why was I added to the ENW Google Wave? I don't want to take part, and don't want to be included as a member of it. Please remove me from the wave. EDIT: I "unfollowed" it, but I never joined. I'm kind of bothered by the fact that I was just added without asking.

tends to be clumpy. I'll have 2-3 deaths in one session, sometimes back to back, then go 5-10 with none. TPKs occur about every other year.

I think I'd like to play a couple sessions like this before passing judgment.

I kill the hell out of them, and add an appropriate amount of skull and crossbones stickers to my DM screen. We're talking D&D, not an exercise in self-esteem building.

It isn't a leap. From the designer/manufacturer standpoint, there is a pool of potential consumers, asking for both at the same time. Classic example of "they".

Well, I do, in fact, work at a conservative, midwestern, state University.

I'm working on a couple of submissions to Penthouse Forum.

Naw. Not sacrilege. As is, it's a grindy slog through cave after cave. However, this module can be made to work as an scout/precision strike/"disrupt the power structure through several sorties" kind of thing. I've run it 3 or 4 times in my life. The last 2 were about discovering the power...

Wants: Not many. I don't think I've ever been a player in X2. Failures: As a DM, I really didn't care for the A series. I'd massively re-hack it if I ever decided to run it again. DL1 and DL2. Really didn't like the railroad style of play then, hate it even more now.

Well, that explains why most shared world material comes off like it was written by a bunch of amateurs.

Review of Black Blade Publishing’s, “Ice Tower of the Salka” Author: James Carl Boney Art: Chad Thorson, Matt Finch, Dan Bezio Editing/Cartography: Matt Finch Executive Summary: A solid dungeon adventure, good for an afternoon or three of fun for experienced adventurers. This adventure was...

Yep. According to m-w.com: Yep, ENW is rife with boobs already.

You rang?

Well, it depends. To me, the classic run is comprised of the issues published when I was new to the game: 81 to about 83. On the other hand, the first 40 or so when Kask was the editor in chief have a distinctive feel and vibe that was never captured again, as The Dragon (as it was called...

I blame sitcoms. Any problem in the world can be solved in 30 minutes less commercials, and everyone starts off happy next week. When 5e introduces the "Wacky Neighbor" class, you'll see me for the genius I am. ;)

Bummer. Any chance of getting this function restored? I downloaded vols 1-12 of the Gygax threads, but not 13. Would dearly love to get 13 in the same format. Any chance of this coming back?

I wonder if being submerged for 400+ years affected the wood, therefore, changing the draw over time?

It did? I missed this, then. Did they print Magic cards with classic D&D villains or something?

That would be it! Thanks much!

I've forged 6 new gamers, and brought 3 former gamers back to the table over the last 8 years, all with either Moldvay Basic or 1e AD&D. D&D was my first RPG. Really it was my first hobby game. Boardgames more complex than Scrabble and Monopoly, miniatures, wargames, all came into my life...
