I sorry I just had to quote this whole thing. This is my favorite store, it was also my first real experience with a FLGS. Heck I say it is THE FLGS of Ottawa. OK I may be doing the Comic Book Shoppe a bit of an injustice here, but Fandom II is just fantastic. My only regret, I've never gamed...

I meant to comment on this whole thread a while ago, particularly as a Canadian (in Ontario). So forgive me as I 'catch up'. The Silver Snail, both the Ottawa and Toronto branches aren't much of a games store. They do always carry a good selection of the latest White Wolf and D&D (WotC) stuff...

Hmmm, this link doesn't work for me. I even registered in their forums and it now says that I don't have enough 'priviledge'. Ah well. I wonder if there are any interesting reviews up yet.

Dacen reflexively grabs for his holy symbol at the sight of the skeleton, then when it seems to pose no threat, he slowly relaxes. He looks at the package Gordon is holding, and frowns, "Hmmmm, I wonder what it is?" He looks towards the undead beggar, "And why would he want us to find it?"

I too am completely enamoured with AD&D 1st edition. There just something . . . raw and creative and evocative about it. It allows an awesome kind of freeform rp with fast slick combats, its modularity, its art . . . sigh. I have never had a problem finding things in the books, there is an...

I'd say this is bang on. You want it to be easy to start and exciting from the begining. I secound creating a selection of (nameless) pre gens. make sure there are more then you need so that they have that much choice. Furthermore, avoid discussing rules much. Don't take more then five...

I would guess that this comment was designed to eliminate discussions of other d20 system rules products, along the lines of True20, etc. ;) i could be wrong of course.

Most of the companies that I know are still doing 3.5 have already been mentioned (I'm sure therre is more). I thought I'd mention that 6d6fireball is still taking submissions for new 3.5 (or possibly systems neutral) adventurers. You can see the links in my sig for some details. I also know...

Interesting thanks for posting the charactersheet up. I've always said 'a charactersheet is worth a thousand words', it can tell you a fair bit about a rules system.

"Well folks, large number of small similar doors, or that large double doors past the staircase?" Dacen regards the undead beggar curiously, trying to tell if his approach is any indication of taking one of the southern doors.

Ah I forgot to mention, I also got T1-4 the Temple of Elemental Evil, from hipointe. It came without the map book (but I knew that when I ordered it). I found some great maps (including the originals) at this site: http://www.danielrivera.org/ The website has be rearrange since the last...

A couple of recommendations, take a look at Microlite20. Its a very stripped down and simple version of 3rd edition and its free. Character generation is extremely simple, as is equipement. I recommend downloading the Microlite20 Purest Essence version just go here and scroll down. Uses only...

Well, I'm surprised nobodies mentioned the hitpointe yet The Hit Pointe Right now they have G123 Against the Giants for $15.00 in Very Good/Near Mint condition. I've ordered from them before and was very happy (1e PHB, DMG and MM). They don't always list there whole stock so you should send...

I have just moved to the opposite end of the city, and am thrilled to have discovered a FLGs fairly close. In another city actually, Brampton. I havn't actually been there yet so it shall be a discovery. Its strange but Toronto doesn't seem to really have a FLGs, there are a few stores with...

Dacen drops to one knee, says a quick prayer of thanks and kisses his holy symbol. He smiles at Xenon's comment, "Clearly St. Culbert heard my prayer, releasing these poor souls was a boon, to them and us. It seems we are on the right track but where too now?" Dacen wanders towards the doors to...

Sweet just found out that there is a store right near me that is participating. Comic Warehouse in Brampton. Suprisingly there doesn't seem to be anything in Toronto itself thats participating. I'm not surprised that my favourite FLGs in my hometown of Ottawa, Fandom II is also participating...

Hmm cool I'll have to check that page out. I havn't looked at many new 1e adventures but The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom by Expeditious Retreat press is excellent. Very original, new monsters, versatile, etc. Havn't run it yet but I can't wait to do so.

On the note of the high AC versus DR, ethereal etc. You may note that when Belkar attacked him it said stab, stab, stab, stab, stab . . . for all his attacks. You may have noticed that attacks that miss are usually indicated as such in OotS. (by a 'swish' or something, its a poor example but see...
