I feasted off the dying corpse of the Scarred Lands. Picked up Vigil Watch Asaatthi, a couple of the Player's Guides, Hornsaw, Hollowfaust, Shelzar and the fourth Ravenloft gazetteer, all of them around 75% off. Of them, I'd probably only have picked up the gazetteer and Hollowfaust at cover...

It wouldn't count as an alignment transgression in my eyes, even if they knew whose name the resurrection was in. This is presuming the raise dead rules are being used more or less as is from the Player's Handbook and can essentially be done without owing cosmic favors to any deities or...

Nightfall really shouldn't be calling out other folk for their ability to sell a setting, I think... Anyway, if it means anything, one thing that might turn you onto the Scarred Lands again would be the fact that it's currently selling quite inexpensively. Most of the books can be bought for...

Another thing worth mentioning is that a number of sites offer some free material; sometimes this is just a preview of what's within, other times you can find full, if small, PDF books (particularly in the form of adventures). This can, of course, be a bit of work to do - going from one site...

Thank you very much, Nifft. Though I will state that after reading this reply and Sebastian's, I went to go refresh my memory on what it has to say about law and chaos. Having done so, I maintain my position in full. It's supported enough by the books to my satisfaction. My belief's do not...

I think you need some basis for what law and chaos are for you to begin with. For me, lawfulness is group-oriented, sacrificing some of the individual's benefits in favor of the community. Conversely, chaos is more individual-oriented, sacrificing some of the communities benefits in favor of...

Generally, I go with the more sensible one. Considering the vast number of parallels between Bahamut and Paladine, Tiamat and Takhisis, I go with their being one in the same. Something which there is some support for. Two different platinum dragon gods and two different five headed chromatic...

Oh, and as for human sacrifice that has to be done to avert a cataclysm: if the victim is unwilling, it's evil. A necessary evil, perhaps, but still an evil. Of course, those people who are unwilling to be sacrificed to begin with are arguably doing an evil act, but killing them anyway for it...

Human sacrifice? If the victim is willing then, no, not evil. For either party. Now, if the priest were ever to sacrifice an unwilling victim...sure, that'd be evil. No doubts there. But if the priest only sacrificed willing sacrifices, then yes, I do believe that priest could very well...

Dragonlance really wasn't written with other planes and the like in mind. A glance at the various names for both Paladine and Takhisis will reveal amongst them variations off of the names Bahamut and Tiamat. Similarly, looking into some of the comments here that Jeff Grubb's said makes it...

Neither's Conan, Dawnforge or arguably even Kalamar, all of which have been mentioned. Admittedly not in the poll itself. Anyway, with that said, I do believe a vote for a homebrew isn't worth mentioning; obviously, most people with a homebrew will prefer it to a published setting. The...

I answered no, but that's not always quite true. A few times in the past, I've had people ask if someone could come along to just watch the game. Most times, I just say no. However, that's just if someone's coming over to more or less watch the game. On the other hand, if someone is...

I think interviews and a compare and contrast and the like are a bit much, but I do believe that, at the least, an introductory paragraph or two about the company, the books the stuff is from, a web-page, and at least the names of the authors should lead in to each entry. As nice as a...

Just to interject, but the only one of those things you listed that will happen if Joe goes to the 3rd floor is that he'd lose his paladin abilities. All the rest would only happen if he consistently went to the third floor - and even then, only some of those things would occur if he went to the...

I'm of a few opinions: First off, if I'm buying a book, I want the author's to be quite familiar with the subject. If they're writing about sailing, they should have a good grasp of the terminology, the ships and the technology they had in one time period or another, a bit about wind, the...

And keeping up with this thread doesn't require some work? Because, really, in general, a quick search through Wikipedia will yield you, if not a complete picture, than at least an overview of the individual in question. It usually takes me quicker to browse through the entry than it does to...

Oh, I can define porn all right...but I'm not sure that's grandmother approved. Heh. Anyway, I do agree, after fashion. I've tried doing a bit of explaining on how I see law and chaos and, often enough, find myself not quite fully satisfied with the answer I gave. There's always something...

I'm not a fan of dungeons for the simple fact that, often enough, they don't make sense. I'll use some caves with a limited amount of work or civilization or whatever within them, a one or two floor dungeon but, typically, don't really use many. However, that isn't to say that I think they're...

What does your average adventurer do? Kills things to take their stuff, often in such exotic locales as cemetaries and temples (sometimes abandoned, sometimes...not so much). Really, the entire idea that most of the people who do this stuff would be good is all a bit silly. Of course, that's...

And too which I will simply and succinctly say: agreed. For the moment, anyway.
