You really need to turn this post ^-^ into a review for the Reviews Section (with some obvious top-and-tail changes).

From my own perspective, I didn't really buy many 2e adventures (I wrote my own mostly). I would however, concur with GDQ being the defining adventures for 1e. They defined the Dungeon Crawl and the AP in one fell swoop. For 3e, I'd suggest the Defining Adventures to be Rappan Athuk and The...

As I understand it, there will be a stand at GenCon UK where this will be demoing, and there will be PSP's to try the game out on.

That's exactly what I said to my group last night :lol:

Greyhawk. Without a second's hesitation. Al-Qadim. There's room for a fantasy which moves away from the Tolkienesque feel of Greyhawk/ FR, and there's enough general 'Arabian Nights' knowledge for people to feel comfortable with it. And Council of Wyrms. This would probably work fine in...

Well, I'm not at GenCon either. Not yet. I go to the UK version in - ooh - two weeks. :eek: Now, how about a game of Fluxx, where knowing the Rules don't help (because they keep changing...)

Assuming the folks I DM for are cool with staying at 3.5, that's what I'll do. I have SCAP, AoW, Shades of Grey, War of the Burning Sky, and Rappan Athuk to throw at them yet. That should keep me going until 5e, I reckon :confused:

I've only read a review of the Star Wars SAGA system, but I'd say the Skill and Feat systems may well get streamlined along those lines.

Here's a new TMP Link

You're the DM. Don't throw so many rogue-oriented obstacles at them and they'll be fine. If they can't unlock a door, have them spot a key poking over the top of the lintel. Reduce the Spot DC's for traps so they have a chance to avoid or work around them. The aim of the game is to have a good...

Sleep is for tortoises! Enjoy the show. And be sure to give us your thoughts on the module when you get a chance.

Having seen how good the Summon Monster spells can be when utilised effectively, I'd include those on the spell lists as well. Dropping a stack of low-level monsters behind enemy lines to provide flanking bonuses (especially for rogue-ish types) can be a very effective tactic.

WoW may well have 9 million subscriptions, but that is a worldwide figure (RD's sales data for RPG's and CCG's are USA-based). It also doesn't take into account how many people have played it for a little bit and given up (real life, grind issues, cost factors, etc.). That seems to be a common...

Whilst I can understand your frustration with the way both Rary and Robilar were portrayed in the post-Greyhawk Wars era, the defection of an arch-mage and a powerful warrior was a powerful way to illustrate the change in the game-world. Agreed, Rary's motives (the search for knowledge in the...

Without too much of a spoiler, does this volume take Robilar out of The Bright Lands and pull him away from working with Rary?

Hmm, let's ignore all that Marketing Stuff we've seen already and throw together some ideas no one would want to publish. Until the dark months before a New Edition, that is. 1 Angelic Codex - details on Lawful Good extra-planar creatures for any DM to drop into a campaign when a deus ex...

I understand neither Bill Webb nor Clark Peterson from Necro can make it this year, so there is no table/ auction from them. Other Necro types are attending, but the Demon Lords are otherwise engaged...

The Whispering Cairn in Dungeon #124 is probably the best low-level module written for 3.5e. Period. I'm aching to run it and see PC's fall to their deaths, get over-run by swarms and get into trouble in the Observatory. There's a great bait & switch mechanic and some grand twists. And there's...

There's lots of cool stuff added to the schedule recently. There's a game based on Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books, there's some RuneQuest, lots of RPGA scenarios (I'm doing lots of Greyhawk) and even Paranoia (always good for a laugh). The boards on the ConSupport website don't do a good...

What books do I use to run Greyhawk? The City of Greyhawk From the Ashes Rary the Traitor The Marklands Iuz the Evil The Adventure Begins Living Greyhawk Gazetteer Slavers plus stuff from Canonfire and the LG regions on t'internet.
