    Can someone explain what "1st ed feel" is?

    1st edition feel means all players and the DM agree to only use thier right brain for the course of the adventure. No logical left brain thinking allowed. Most 1st edition adventures seemed to be designed so that copious amounts of alchohol or other chemicals consumed while playing would make...

    (Poll) LOTR: Now many Oscar nominations will it receive?

    Grim realist I figure the movie will get stiffed because its too far from the mainstream. Even if it gets a few placebo nominations, I dont think it will win any of the major awards. Maybe best sets or best costumes or something relatively lame, but thats about the best I think we can bet on.

    The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer

    Ive been playing in Greyhawk for over 13 years now. I remember buying the old boxed set many years ago with birthday money. Cracking that pristine box open and looking upon the works of Pluffet Smedger (the Eldar, of course), unfolding the beautiful maps..... Greyhawk has persisted as my...

    The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer

    I would just like to point out that this product is a GAZETTEER. Gazetteers are essentially travelouges and fact books detailing the current affairs of locales, points of interest, and relevant history which most anyone would know in such a locale. The LGG fufills this purpose admirably. It...

    Greyhawk characters in Epic Level Handbook?

    Re: Re: Philidor Hey! I checked out the archives and sure enough, my posts are still listed! (User: KSHRIKE@CONCENTRIC.NET (63)). That was like 5-6 years ago; I had almost completely forgotten about them. I didnt realize someone had taken the time to archive Greytalk....Thanx for the link!

    [OT] Any opinions Terry Goodkind's SWORD of TRUTH series??

    Amateurish and illogical, but occasionally intriguing I read the first 4 or 5 of this series years ago, feeling that each book was less interesting than the last. The first book is also the writers first published work IIRC, and it shows. My biggest complaint about the series is that it makes...

    Song and Silence

    In summary: Technique, but no panache. Seems rule-sound but lacks ooh-ah factor. Flavor-wise Rogues and Bards are definitely the most 'with it' classes, street smart and savvy. Rules-wise, they do okay single-classed; Rogues get some decent scratch at higher levels with thier special abilities...

    Enemies and Allies

    Summary: If this had come out about a year ago when 3e was new I might have found more use for it as a stop gap when first starting to play under 3e, but I have long since designed dozens of Templates and a large 3-ring binder of NPCs as needed. It also would have provided some offical basis...

    Oriental Adventures

    In summary an excellent work slightly marred by some low-quality artwork in places, some Content-Confusion (it tries to blend Rokugan and non-Rokugan elements while simultaneously grepping 1e Oriental Adventures and adding new material in a Tool-kit format, so things can get a bit confused at...

    Manual of the Planes

    This is an excellent work. Its not perfect (what is?) but it lacks obvious flaws and comes off as a professional and solid read. It has attractive art, useful illustrations, and a distinct look & feel that all combine to create a specific identity for the work. Its not just another hardback with...
