Hmm... yeah, the old 1st edition cover, with the two guys facing off on the staircase thingy somehow always reminds me of the scene in Ghostbusters where the 'busters face off the god dudette on the top of the building...

You are quite correct my friend. And, as any DM worth his salt shall testify, the only true version of Deities & Demigods is the 144 page 1st edition including Cthulhu!

As for the magic, maybe the new WotC book, Magic of Incarnum, poses a solution to your search? Don't know that much about it, but from the description, just changing the 'spirit' stuff to them being demons may do the trick. We'll have to wait and see. Other things to look at are the Wokan and...

Well... first off, don't know whether you have it, but Savage Species does indeed have an illithid class, the Illithid Savant on pp 77-79. Furthermore, if you want to invest the time and money, hunt down the 'illithiad' from 2nd edition. Has some nice info as well... I do think that the most...

On an unrelated note. Saw that your art will grace the mammoth 'Ptolus' book. Congratulations!!! Been following you guys since the first tentative pieces of art were put on the web. Nice to see you guys now will be in one of the most prestigious RPG projects the industry has seen to date!

Well.... now with Ptolus on the horizon, clocking in at over 1000 pages (including the 400 pages worth of stuff on the accompanying CD), I am curious how large this book will be to maintaint the claim 'World's Largest'..... ;)

CR is also fairly irrelevant in my book, as it largely depends on too many factors. Besides those mentioned above, there is also the factor of how 'smart' the DM plays the critters, all manner of environmental considerations etc. The CR's for individual monsters are useful as a sort of...

Well... on a tangent note, what makes the magic 'mundane' in 3.x IMHO is the introduction of certain su, sp and ex powers inherent in certain classes, and certain feats that makes ordinary beings into kinda superhero's (of the Marvel kind). When PC's, simply because they gain a level, somehow...

Hmm... just a thought... add in a 'Jerusalem' like place, holy to both races, which they both fight about. Maybe it is a place haunted by demons, dragons etc. (if you add a bit more fantastic elements to the mix), that way the place is basically deserted, and both groups send parties to retrieve...

In most games I DM, I have house rules along the lines that lead, orichalcum or other mundane or special materials block teleport. Since the BBEG would protect his/her inner sanctum against teleporting _in_, it would also be impossible to TP _out_ of those places. Thus, PC's will find that in...

If you want more info on a bronze age world, use your google-fu skillz to track down the fan created world of 'Kengir', set in babylonian like times... plenty of info, although it was made for 2nd edition, the background info etc. would still be very useful...

Hmmm... well... even though I live on the wrong side of the pond, the money wouldn't be a problem, as I have a well paying job and have some savings. The free days are no problem either, as I have 38 of them per year... (working for an insurance company is the next best thing compared to being a...

Phew... Talking basic DnD, pretty much everything (all boxed sets, the gazetteer series, all modules from B,X,DA,O,CM,M,IM and thunder rift series, all AC accessories, Mystara and Hollow World) am only missing Mark of Amber 1st Ed ADnD pretty much everything in all print-versions, missing the...

Since the reappearance of the Chronolith was foreseen, maybe someone way back in the past entombed an army of heroes in temporal stasis nearby, to awaken and join this fight. These heroes have all manner of archaic weaponry and armor (bronze armor etc.) making them less effective. They die in...

Hmm... - thinking of the 'time hop' maybe this future self is also better armed - faster timestreams may cause items to age faster and crumble to dust in your hands - thin streamers of fast time may simply cause damage. You can see them though, so you can try to evade them once you know that...

Wishing all the best for the UK gamers, especially the Londoners. It is sad to see such a beautiful city hit this way. We have a tradition of going to London around X-mas, and I even proposed to my (now) wife under the dome of St. Paul's during a X-mas celebration event there. Praying that...

Well... one sort of mystery could be this (or a nearby) island is actually a Zaratan (giant turtle) Another could be that there lies some heavy curse on the island and that is is the prison for some alien entity from Xoriat or somesuch. The PC's are visited by strange dreams in their sleep...

Hmm.... well, I'd not so much be interested in a CLASS that somehow uses technology, what I'd be more interested in, is mechanical 'magical' items. I fear that, no matter your best efforts, the Artificer problem (i.e. sounds cool, but in actual play has some serious drawbacks) will remain for...

Hmmm... dream products (not sure who'd have to produce them, but the guys from Necro, Green Ronin, Kevin Kulp, the guy from Whitethorn and Bruce Cordell come to mind among others) are to have boxed set adventures with all stuff included. Battle maps, the required miniatures, hand-outs, props, CD...

Adding to the last post, I agree that it is better to have one good encounter, and have it happen, but this does not negate the _feeling_ that one can give the PC's, eitehr up front, or after the fact that the other way was better/worse. For example, they could meet op with ppl in the next...
