    [OT] Need Computer job nomeclature

    I went to UCLA back in 88-92, and at the time, the only computer related degree offered was called Computer Science and Engineering, which is a pretty high level degree and probably not comparable to a data processing degree. These days, most US universities are still a little deficient in IT...

    cover of the Hermit

    It's not a horrible price, and I didn't say or imply that it is. I just think it's on the high side. Given that it's got several pages that I won't use, that further decreases the value. I was trying to be diplomatic when I thought it was $14 for 48 pages- that's overpriced. 64 pages for 14 is...

    Which Necromancy book(s) to buy?

    I've been very happy with Secret College. It might not be what you expect if you're looking for the traditional treatment (PrC's- in fact, there are no PrC's in the book). It offers two new core classes which fit the theme quite well. It's loaded with new spells, has some great creatures (though...

    cover of the Hermit

    I'm not sure how I answered my own question about dual-statting. When you're playing a game, its market share certainly isn't important. However, when producing material for one, publishers generally take market share into consideration. Anyway, instead of an adventure being 64 pages for $14...

    cover of the Hermit

    Agreed, though it is easier if an adventure you'd like to buy and/or run is written for your system of choice. However, given how easy it is convert, what's the point of dual-statting for a system that has relatively small market share? This particular adventure's price is already a bit on the...

    cover of the Hermit

    Oops, I wonder where I got 48 pages from? Oh well, that's still expensive enough that I would not be happy about paying for the LA space if I were to buy this module. I wasn't judging it by CC, which I don't have and haven't even really looked at (partly because it, too, is dual-statted, but...

    cover of the Hermit

    I don't know. $13.95 is not a bad price for a 48 page module (though it's not a good price). However, if as many as five of the pages are wasted on LA stats, I'm guessing I wouldn't be happy with the cost, especially given the fonts you guys tend to use. I'm also not a big fan of EGG's work...

    Book of the Righteous...

    This has been my most highly anticipated product for quite a while now. I was quite disappointed in Deities and Demigods and Faiths and Pantheons. I don't need deity stats. I want information on the church organizations, and a cleric type class for each deity, and a paladin/holy warrior for each...

    Buying Silver Marches

    I won't be buying it as I don't run a game in FR (and will not in the future). However, I hope WotC continues to make books like this to help DM's who do run games in FR. I generally prefer source material to rules material when it comes to world supplements. I buy quite a bit of Scarred Lands...

    cover of the Hermit

    I've been voting with my dollars. I haven't picked up a dual stat book yet, and don't expect I ever will (I buy $200-400 of D20 stuff a month, so it's not that I'm not buying in general). On the one hand, I think that's great that it helps companies support other RPG systems, but on the other...

    ENnies voting booth now open!

    You are on a network when you dial-in... AOL's network. AOL uses a mega-proxy which has large numbers of users sharing one IP address to access non-AOL content through the public Internet. I suspect you won't be the only AOL user to have trouble voting in this pool. Try voting from work, if...

    Green Ronin in PC Gamer!

    While several publishers read and post to this forum, the publishers forum seems to get more traffic from the publishers, so that's not a bad idea.

    Green Ronin in PC Gamer!

    Hey Samothdm, didn't you say at one point that they did put an ad in Maxim and it was quite successful for most metrics?

    Implications of Dragon being sold [2002 Thread]

    I'm happy about this sale because I'm hoping it means less FR and GR, and less preview material for upcoming WotC books. That issue previewing the Stronghold Builer's Guide was just too much for me. I wasn't happy that they blew almost an entire issue previewing a fairly minor product. I always...

    Product opinions: first look versus deeper look

    For me, Creaure Collection. The horrible art and the poor D20 rules compliance really turned me off, and it sat on my shelf untouched for nearly a year and a half. Now that I'm reading through the SLCS, I've been looking through it a lot lately, and there are some really intriguing monsters in...

    (Rumor) Sword & Sorcery to publish D20 Planescape?

    A couple people on this thread have mentioned that S&S needs to flesh out their existing campaign settings more before doing another one. Do they have some campaign setting besides Scarred Lands and Ravenloft? Scarred Lands is very well supported, and Ravenloft has four books out, with more on...

    Ghelspad

    I recently picked this up, too, and I've been nothing but impressed. This is exactly what I want in a campaign setting. It seems like every section I read inspires multiple campaign ideas, and I can't ask for more than that.

    Weretiger ECL 1 ?!?!?

    Huh. Missed that part about "opponents it isn't grappling". Thanks for pointing that out.

    Weretiger ECL 1 ?!?!?

    Iku Rex- I just read the DMG p.23 rule that you had previously mentioned, and I see its impact now. I was thinking a 6th level weretiger would have 6d10+6d8 HD, with the corresponding BAB that goes along with the extra 6d8 HD. If a 6th level weretiger fighter only has 6d10 and BAB 6, then the...
