Ditto. While WotC is shooting itself in the foot, EN World/ EN Publishing continues to outdo themselves, offering reasonably priced PDF's for WotBS, OR print versions for those who prefer it. Kudos to everyone involved in WotBS, and Jeers to TPTB over at WotC for this (IMHO) poor decision...

Hell, I own the entire AoW in magazine format, and I''d STILL buy the hardcover. Usually, I'm pretty neutral (or at least I try to be!!) about WotC, but this decision gets the big "Thumbs Down" and a hearty BOOOO! from me. :\

Check the link I posted, see if there's an EMail address for him. (Since it's been some time since the book was posted online, alot could have changed, but you never know.) Failing that, check online. The author is pretty well-known, and may have a website of his own.

Oh, it totally is it's own culture. And there's myriad subcultures as well (Euro-Gamers, Ameri-Gamers, etc.). Though, in my experience, there's not as much cross-over between cultures as I would have initally expected. Personally, I belong to both the RPG and Board-Game culture equally...

Hmm. Lots of cool "fantasy-inspired" D+D/RPG reading lately. (I'm a rabid bibliophile, especially of the fantasy genre!!) Here's a few: 1) Knight of the Black Rose: 2E Ravenloft. Arguably the best known Ravenloft novel, featuring Lord Soth pre-exodus. (Note that almost all the RL novels are...

Piratecate beat me to the punch. (I also figured Boston would've been higher on the list!!) ;) But intersting read, regardless! Thanks for the effort! :D

Agreed. I understand that Wizards is out to make money, and that they have operating costs, and that they don't want the PDF's to compete with the print versions. I don't think the digital medium will ever replace the print medium, but the digital marketplace is expanding rapidly, and they'd...

Well, kudos to everyone involved! Whoever wins, I'm looking forward to reading their interpretation of the modules! While were all excellent, my vote went to Andy Goldman: his entry, of them all, just leaped out at me right from the opening sentence, and carried me through the entire treatment.

I like them both, (Go, Brad!!), though I'll confess that they seem a bit "cheesecake-y" for my personal tastes. And, I second the "Nipples" quote from above. Overall, I'd go with "A", as it is (IMHO) more simplistic and elegant. And, she seems slightly more femine without the harder and...

I ordered mine from Amazon awhile ago. I had enough of an interest to spend $60 or so, but not $100. (Normally, I try to support my FLGS but the discount was too great to pass up.) Whether I actually get it or not? Well, that's a whole different story. :heh: Anyway, what is the...

It's always tough losing a member of the gaming community, and doubly so if it's a close friend. Thanks for the stories, and my heart goes out to you in this trying time.

No question; they're all Maury's guests. :p

And one of the sourcebooks deals with Baden's Bluff, which would be a great setting for a game. Very politically oriented, lots of murky grey areas, very "Midnight". Though some of the ideas in it seem appropriate for higher level characters as opposed to lower-level ones.

There's alot of varaitions in Midnight as opposed to "Standard" D+D. It's more than the tone, the mechanics have shifted, too, so it may take some getting used to on the part of both DM + players. Some things to bring into the first adventure to illustrate? 1) Channeling. Midnight is...

I definitely have 2E love! :) Of course, there were some things I didn't care for (Kits, SKill and Powers, etc.), but for the settings alone (as mentioned, Planescape, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Spelljammer, Al Qadim, et. al), 2E deserves some credit!

Saw this, and loved it! I think Del Toro is a genius. (I'd highly recommend "The Devil's Backbone" from a few years ago, as well.) Immediate pick-up on DVD for me.

Currently still working on "The Woman in White" by Wilkie COllins. The "Dresden Files" and the "Godslayer Chronicles" are both in the pipeline after that.

Yay for Sigil! "Planescape" and "Dark Sun" were my two favorite TSR settings, so it's nice to see SIgil gettting some well-deserved, IMHO, kudos. :)

Pesonally, I'm always interested in new Campaign settings and Modules, as long as there's somehting about it that appeals to me, and it's reasonably priced for what I'm getting. Sure, I'll never actually USE all the settings or modules I own, but they're always interesting to read, if nothing...
