It's pretty much that (flimsy paper, filled with ads), but it also has to do with a comparison to other magazines. I can get just about any other magazine I want for under $5, so it seems like $7-8 is too much.

I'm going back to college this spring to finish my Bachelor's, and I'm trying to find sources of financial aid other than loans-grants, scholarships, etc. My google-fu is weak though. When I try to find anything, all the student financial aid websites I'm finding are a lot like adult...

Same here. I don't pay more than $5 for any magazine.

Chow instead of ciao. My fiance had a boss send out a mass email talking about "Heinz Sight" instead of "Hindsight"

I meant different as in stuff that isn't that widely-read or well-known. Nothing wrong with standard fantasy, it's actually my favorite genre. I'm actually already somewhat familiar with WoHF, and wouldn't mind getting my hands on a copy.

I assume you have to match the color?

No dice. She loves playing with my little men, spears or no.

I just got a nice new coffee table. Not 24 hours after setting it up, the cat jumps up and lays down on it. Not wanting her on there, I shooed her off. She scrambled away, causing a nice long scratch as she did so. It's just one long scratch, doesn't really look that deep. Is there any good...

I'm looking for some different settings, just for kicks. None of the standard D&D settings* like Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms. Share your favorite lesser known non-WotC settings. Vanilla fantasy is fine (actually my favorite), just want something new. Even a website only setting is ok...

I enjoyed Gothic 2 but found combat to be somewhat cumbersome if I remember right. I think it was fairly difficult to move and attack at the same time.

I also meant to ask about Dungeon Lords. I know there were problems with the initial release, but did the silver-box deluxe version turn it into a decent game?

I traded in some old xbox games at Gamestop and have a gift card worth about $40 now, and I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to waste it, because I have a hard time shelling out that much money at once (I'm a cheapskate), and now I have an excuse. I'm looking for new or upcoming PC...

A lot of good things have been said about Warhammer which I agree with and don't need to repeat. It's a fun, dark, gritty romp in a scary fantasy setting. I will share a fun quote I heard said about it that emphasizes the grimness: "If you end a game session better off than when you started...

I also have Poseidonis. Picked it up for a buck and a half at a used book store a couple of years ago.

I own it! Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith. Bought it off ebay for a mere $25. Now I can bask in the weird daemonic glow of the last continent of earth. For those of you who don't know who he is, take one part HP Lovecraft and one part Robert Howard, mix well and serve. They were in fact all...

I understand why Cornealius doesn't know what's going on and can't tell anyone else, but what about Vargus? You said that he is aware of everything that happens while Cornealius is in control. Why doesn't he tell the other party members the truth when he takes over? I assume the other PCs have...

GURPS Gurps HERO HERO (pdf) D6 Star Wars Tunnels and Trolls Runequest Vampire Other systems get houseruled just as much, I think. It probably only seems like D&D gets houseruled more because it is the big daddy of rpgs. More people play it so more people are talking about it.

Since we haven't started yet and there are plenty of alternates, I'm going to gracefully bow out of this one. Nothing against the game, I just think another pbp may be more than I can chew right now.

Agreed, a party supply store is your best bet.

Can anyone recommend some card-based dungeon crawl games, like the old Cardmaster Adventure Design Deck for AD&D? I have only recently become aware of these, and I am intrigued. They seem like a good idea for a pick-up game.
