    Early AD&D book trivia q

    Yes, he's got cover credit on that. Couldn't find his name on anything else, though, including Deities & Demigods. I shall keep looking.

    Spells with that creepy Alienist Flavor

    Dragon #330 has a Far Realm article, and has a couple of feats that give access to a number of thematically appropriate feats. Dungeon #107 has Evard's all-seeing worm. A Living Greyhawk character of mine can summon kaorti, a Far Realm creature from Fiend Folio with summon monster II. You...

    What's your screen name from?

    I took my nick way back in 1998 or 1997 from the FR novel Elfshadow by Elaine Cunningham, and first used it on Interplay's Baldur's Gate forums, mostly The Backroom. I've been using it ever since. I've also used Tea Elf (nickname given by Backroom regulars) and Caldour (character name, best bard...

    Would you let a PC become a diety?

    Mmh. Provided it all worked out on the story end and it fit the campaign, sure. Heck, in my Planescape campaign there's a Believer of the Source who's actively working towards that end. However, that'd be the end of that character's career as a PC, and probably the campaign. In the next...

    FR: Church of Sûne - Headquarter

    Heartwarder is not a head priestess in the hierarchical sense, just the prestige class for Sunite clerics, found in Faiths and Pantheons and based on the specialty priest class from Faiths & Avatars. Sunite clergy doesn't have a single headquarters, though Faiths & Avatars names the Temple of...

    How Many New Systems have you bought?

    In the last year, counting from Ropecon and not the calendar date, because it's easier... seven. 1) Nobilis. Because it looks pretty, it was cheap, and because people have said good things about it. It's a beautiful book, beautifully written, and completely unplayable. 2) Fading Suns. Because...

    Your own personal gaming terms...

    I think the term might be more widespread, possibly originating in the British Isles, because the guy who introduced it to our group had just returned from university in Wales. I remembered some others. "Death by boxed text". Said by the DM to shut the group up - important information...

    OotS #336

    I can't help but imagine that "Hello, Roy" spoken by Anthony Hopkins. "Hello, Clarice." Looks like we're back aboard the plot train.

    Your own personal gaming terms...

    "Happystick". A wand of cure light wounds, used in our Living Greyhawk group. Recently, a cleric of Wee Jas has also acquired an unhappystick, a wand of inflict light wounds. "Tehdä Mikot" ("to pull a Mikko"). To skip a game (or really, any prearranged event) without notice. Named for a player...

    Bye Monte!

    Well, if it's 4E, we'll know next week. So... wait and see. In any case, I wish good luck to Monte in his future endeavours, whatever they be.

    What pre-3E D&D book are you using most in your 3.X game?

    Yeah, like they said, Planescape. Plus, in FR games, above all, the trilogy Faiths & Avatars, Powers & Pantheons and Demihuman Deities. That's how you make a proper god book.

    "Roleplayed" - My new Short Film! Weeeee!

    Mmh... would it be somehow more acceptable if it had been posted by a person not associated with the production? At least this way he is here to answer questions and discuss the film. It's hardly spammy, seeing as it actually brings on-topic content in the forum. And it's not bad content...

    Happy Birthday Gary Gygax!

    I'm a day late as well, but it still should be the 27th in some part of the world... Happy birthday, Gary!

    Heroes in the modern world

    I haven't done it, but the discovery of adventures like "The City ond the Gate" (from Dragon 100) and The Immortal Storm has led me to start planning one. I'm thinking of using D20 Modern character classes and firearms rules for modern stuff. I'll lift the "figuring out mechanical devices"...

    Old D&D adventure set in Manhattan

    Yeah... note that I never actually said I felt the module was good. Interesting, yes, but I wouldn't run it without some heavy retooling. It's a sad thing that every time they write an adventure with this premise, it ends up being cheesy. Also, there's a special encounter table, where you can...

    Old D&D adventure set in Manhattan

    Issue #100. The module is called "The City Beyond the Gate".

    Old D&D adventure set in Manhattan

    Matches the description. Apparently, the DM had moved the module to Manhattan and given the cops guns, though. Thanks!

    Previews for Dungeon 141 and Dragon 350

    Monster Manual II. Originally, I think, the Spelljammer campaign setting.

    Old D&D adventure set in Manhattan

    A friend of mine happened to mention that some time ago, he played an adventure module where the party of D&D adventurers are transported to New York to find an artifact. What little he remembered was that they first appeared in some kind of park or a golf course, and met a bunch of helpful...

    what would you be in the dungeons and Dragons world?

    I think that any organisation that arranges cream waffle eating competitions in an amusement park is worth joining. As for me... STR: 8. I am scrawny and weak... (I armwrestled my ex-girlfriend to a draw. She's a head shorter than I am, and asthmatic.) DEX: 14. ...but my balance, reflexes and...
