I find it...questionable...that your claim this culture that places so much emphasis on being "real" is, in fact, completely fake. It just seems odd to me that the fact that this 20-odd year old culture has never been revealed--by the media or anyone else--as the complete fakery that it...

i would cast dragons as interdimensional interlopers. Entirely outside the "magical ecosystem" you describe. They travel interdimensionally with some difficulty--explaining their relative rarity--and would i suppose have the aberration type applied to them.

How much time do they spend selling Black Lotus on street corners until the City Watch arrive? Do the female adventurers get referred to as Bitches/Ho's? Do they hold their crossbows sideways while threatening each other? How many innocent bystanders get hit when they drive by an orc...

I was forst exposed to D&D abot 1980 on a news "Special report" about how this mysterious game was making metalheads kill each other. I had to check it out after that sell:)

Weedley Weedley Weedley Weeeeeee!

Heh, I love the articles reference to the Temple of Elementary Evil. "This temple is dedicated to evil of Grades 1-3..."

I'm a 13th lvel ManoWar

EN World's own Whizbang Dustyboots will be heartbroken :(

I wonder why Black Dougal was always the example of a PC biting the dust? This, added with the Example of Play in the red book where he blows his disarm traps roll and dies from poison... Poor guy.

Allright, for Christmas everyone I know is getting a copy of Sidewinder: Recoiled :)

Not just "Yes", but "Hell Yes" I wish I had thought to suggest Gemmell. The Waylander series is top flight stuff. Also check out Legend (known as Against the Horde in Europe for some reason).

You should watch the boxed set of Walt Disney's Tale Spin cartoon... It borrowed it's premise/script bible almost entirely from Tales of the Gold Monkey. Jake Cutter=Baloo Bon Chance Louis= King Louis etc...

In that case it's a great policy:)

I think you should try and judge books by what they are, not what they aren't. Which is do say, do they succeed at what they attempt. I mean, saying that Conan the Conqueror compares unfavorably to The Brothers Karamazov is like complaining that Die Hard isn't Citizen Kane...both are classics...

I was owndering the same thing...what's "obvious" about these reasons?

Man...I can't imagine having a "code of conduct" codified so as to allow me to play a game with my friends. Different strokes and all, but if I had to spell this kind of thing out to a group of people, they aren't folks I'd particularly want to hang around with. "Respect Each Other" needs...

Yeah, I often wondered why they abandoned the... Character Level= Rank Spell Level= Power Dungeon Level=Level ...terminology.

(reposted form the other thread) I held out to assemble a group of folks who had never played D&D before...just asked people if they were already D&D players. Anyone who said yes got sent off to another table. It went pretty well with the noobs all things considered. I mean, they were dumb...

No problem, it's not like those 3.0 Players Handbooks were doing anything on my shelf:)

Hey thanks:)
