I'll probably end up buying it - it looks interesting, and I'm curious to see how well the shot clock works in play. I don't know if there will be enough interest to start up a campaign around here.

Cave corridors would be great. It'd be neat to have some irregular-shaped one one side, straight on the other long pieces that could be laid next to a square bit to make a cave wall - I've got plenty of 20x20 and 40x40 bits that would become caves with just the addition of irregular walls...

I've been running Shackled City, and it's fantastic stuff. I'm really enjoying how it works.

In the last campaign I played in (current in haitus), my character had picked up a couple of ioun stones. However, we were playing in an adaptation of a 2e campaign module which focused on ioun stones, which caused them to be fairly thick on the ground. Before then, I can't imagine I had ever...

Hey folks. So, I picked up the GameMastery Critical Hit Deck this weekend, and now I'm interested in trying it - it's a neat change to the way that standard crits work, and I like how the results differ based on what type of damage it is. Anyone else had a look at it? What did you think?

I'm doing a little extra work on the side, so I extended my current supporter account for another year.

Hey, thanks for pointing out that dagger, that's perfect for someone in my campaign. I'll have to make sure it falls into their hands. ^_^ Personally, I thought the MIC had a lot of cool abilitlies in it, and I really liked the three-charges items, where generally the effect of using all...

The Order of the Stick seems to be a low-magic campaign world. There's not really been any scenes in magic shops (other than one time where V was buying scrolls), and none of the characters refer to anything like one. It may be that V's never come across a wand, or staff, for sale that they...

I was playing a Conjurer in a 3.5 campaign recently, and I have to generally agree with folks: If you go with Wizard, you want to talk your GM into allowing the Rapid Summoning ability, and you want to have the stats for the various monsters ready - I ended up using a binder to keep them in...

Eh. Some people are going around saying it's too powerful and should be banned. Some people are going around saying it's disappointing and not worth a feat choice. Sounds balanced to me. :)

There's four reviews on RPGnet: http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=2327 I've heard good things about the game. I picked up a copy, but haven't read it yet.

Really? Bob the Fighter is down 20 points out of 30 after an encounter - the feat only heals 5 points, and then you need to whip out a spell to heal him 15 more. Bob the fighter is down 15 points out of 30 after an encounter - the feat is useless. Bob the fighter is down 50 points out of 60...

And once again, a lot of people get *really upset* over incomplete information. :) Still a strong feat, but not a truely game-changing one.

"Hey, nondescript human rogue-type guy, why do you light up like a torch every time I detect magic?" "It's an old family curse. Either myself or my brother shall die before our 30th birthday. I... don't like to talk about it much."

I had some fun playing an Illusionist/Monk, although the fun got stronger once Complete Arcane came out and my GM allowed me to take the Arcane Monk prestige class from it. (I'm completely spacing on the name.) It's an odd fit, but it can work pretty well - expect to make Cha a big dump stat...

Hmmm... Heward's Handy Haversack Rings of Protection +* Cloak/Vest of Resistance +* Wand of Cure Light Wounds Flying Carpet Slippers of Spider Climb (Or, a way to carry things easily, a way to protect yourself, a way to heal, and a way to travel.) In a high-level game I found the Iron...

Hum. Where do you bury them? How do you keep the police or loved ones from tracking them to your door? I ask.. oh, for no particularly special reason... *whistles innocently*

The problem is that it gets repeated a lot, without backing evidence. I've played Neverwinter Nights, and now World of Warcraft, and both of them contain a fair amount of resource management - as a warrior, I need to keep track of my equipment and upgrade it. I need to keep track of my food...

Actually, I've not had that experience on either of my servers - both of them have a large number of lower-level folks to team up with. One of them - and I'm blanking on the name - is a very new server, and so there's very few high-level folks around. OnTopic: DDO sounded interesting when it...

That's a good fansite to check out - I'm pretty sure that's Joe... ah, I've forgotten his name. He's a pretty good expert on Jorune, and even wrote for the game when it was in print.
