    I'm curious about the RPGA...

    It's a bit of both, really. In regional and metaregional adventures, I really do get the sense that I'm doing something meaningful in terms of the long-term plot, because I've been around long enough to see the campaign consequences for several modules actually bear fruit and had the plot take...

    Planescape factions as affiliations

    I dropped them into my present campaign, though the PCs are 3rd-level and none of them have a higher faction score than 3, so the faction benefits have yet to come into play. The insanity rules for the Bleakers are pretty rough, but they do fit the faction. If anyone in my game had any...

    WotC releases for March 2007: Cormyr, Magic Items, Star Wars RPG

    Intriguing. The FR adventure is on my must-buy list. For Magic Item Compendium I sadly probably already have all the books and magazines it's using as sources. For the SW book... I shall wait and see. If I can get it for an affordable price, I might get it, even if I'll probably never, ever get...

    MM IV Q and A

    Comes in both Large and Medium sizes. Both have CR 3. Costs 1,150 gp and 80 xp to make. No "In Eberron" writeup. Or "In Faerûn" for that matter. Justice archons in Faerûn, predictably, are native to the House of the Triad.

    Best Product You Got Because of ENWorld

    There are so many... I got Grim Tales and Tome of Horrors after winning them in trivia contests on #dnd3e. (We don't have those anymore, sadly, but feel free to come and chat.) I got Magic of Incarnum because of MerricB's recommendations. It came very close to being the first WotC book I was...

    What is the most overlooked rule in dnd?

    Intriguing. There's at least one PC who would live if it weren't for a contrary rules interpretation.

    What is the most overlooked rule in dnd?

    Seconded. Also, the full plate assistants thing. And the fact you must already be in melee to be able to fight defensively or take a full defence action.

    Tome of Magic - Experiences with the Binder

    I've played the binder thus far in one session of a friend's homebrew campaign. The rest of the party believes he's a holy man of some description since he's disguised as a priest to avoid persecution. It went really well, and I'm enjoying the character immensely. Among other things, I could...

    Fiction in Dragon magazine

    I like fiction in Dragon. D&D -based or not, I may actually get the most mileage out of a short story than any of the articles. I always read the fiction, but it's a rarer event that stuff from the game finds its way into my game, because that requires me to keep the magazine with me at the...

    Planescape factions as affiliations

    Looks pretty solid after a cursory readthrough. Thanks, man. You saved me a lot of work.

    Do you use Npc classes for your Npcs?

    Yeah, I use warrior and expert a lot for low-level mooks and villanous noncombatant types. Instead of aristocrat, though, I prefer to use Dragonlance Campaign Setting's noble, and instead of adepts I have shamans, spirit shamans, dragon shamans, totemists, favoured souls and sorcerers...

    Hordes of the Abyss: Q&A

    Got the book a couple of days ago. Great, excellent, beautiful stuff. My sole complaint is that it's several hundred pages too short, but that one goes for most WotC books nowadays. Just one question, though... What's the story behind That Hellhole?

    Myers-Briggs and Gamers

    Yah, I'm INTJ as well. Seems to be a repeating theme in the IRC channels I frequent. As I recall, we had a poll on this some time ago, and there were a couple of types that were overwhelmingly more common. I think INTJ and INTP, but if someone could dig it up, we could verify.

    [FR] Giantcraft 2e

    It's a very good book, and it has a lot of stuff about the history of giants, but it's focused more in the far north and ancient history kind of stuff. It goes into reasonable detail about events in the Hartsvale region and the ancient Ostoria, and has a lot of stuff about giant culture and...

    Would Baldur's Gate Mini's be Possible?

    A couple of 'em can still fit in an expansion. Vhailor, for example, would be a pretty good one, as would Ignus, Annah or Dak'kon. And we know the next expansion after War of the Dragon Queen will be called Blood War...

    Which DND God would you worship?

    Pretty much. Geeks, too. Only thing he needs is the Caffeine domain, now...

    Which DND God would you worship?

    The Realmsian deity Deneir, a neutral good deity of books, scribes and writing. Fits me very well.

    Do You Sometimes Purchase RPG Books Just To Read (Not For Play Purposes)?

    Yeah, occasionally, though not for full price. Actually, something like a third of my gaming collection is stuff I bought because it looked interesting, not because I had a particular desire to play it. Also, a lot of it was bought at a 90% discount. This includes things like Nobilis, Orkworld...

    Words you learned through D&D

    Hmm... I got "ziggurat" from Warhammer (specifically, chaos dwarves) before I ever got into D&D and "gazebo" I learned from Heroes of Might & Magic II. "Milieu" I always knew because it shares the root word (or is the root word, I'm not sure) for the Finnish word "miljöö". Now...

    You are in charge of what WOTC puts out for DnD.

    Not all of Planescape could fit into a 320-page book, you are right. However, you could fit Sigil, the factions, and the gate towns, and short descriptions of the planes. I think that between Manual of the Planes and Planar Handbook, they're covered pretty well already. Add to that the usual...
