Got it - sorry, I didn't realize that the other players were complaining. That seems a little odd to me, though... they're complaining that the player who is putting in more time and effort is getting more attention than they are. The solution seems obvious - they should get more involved. I...

I think that Teflon Billy has it right - people are going to participate to the level that they want and no further. No point in getting upset with them for not participating. I've driven myself crazy getting frustrated over players who show no enthusiasm or drive to do more than just show up...

Maybe I'm getting my editions all mixed up, but I thought that the later stuff (like the RC era) had things like skills and things that weren't in the earlier B/X era stuff. I seem to remember that happening to the Gazeteers as the time went on, and then ended up at a certain point where, once...

Actually what really makes the pdf rankings useless is that so few people do reviews on them. Only what 36 products have 5 or more reviews? We need more reviews of the products as well as the culling of the ones that also exist in print..... Yeah, I don't think so, either. As long as the...

Depending on where you live, you might want to check for a local games shop to see if they have any groups looking for players. Most good game shops will have postings or lists near the back of the store with groups advertising for players. Alternately, just pop by the game store on a weekend...

I keep looking for the thread on ownership of the Top 20 PDF products. I would start it myself, but I'm sure someone's done it somewhere around here...

That link leads to basically the same exact thing that I had from the old RaceCalc site. The only difference is that the old site had a pull-down menu of all of the races in the PH as well as races in FR and I think some other books and if you selected one, it filled in all of the modifiers for...

Obviously Mike Mearls is a super reliable source for this so I'm sure what he says is true. For my own self, I've only ever written and published one d20 book (see my sig) but it took FOREVER to get published. For two years I deducted lots of my d20 purchases as well as a science-fiction...

Years ago there was a thing online called "RaceCalc" and "ClassCalc" that did basically what you're talking about. The sites have been taken down but I think I may still have the download of the database somewhere. E-mail me at samothdm at yahoo dot com and if I find it I'll send you a copy.

I Feel So Lame I have a ton of D&D/d20 stuff, but for some reason, from the Top 20 I only have: 7. Hammer & Helm Green Ronin Publishing 4.80 5 9. Manual of the Planes Wizards of the Coast 4.79 14 14. Book of the Righteous, The Green Ronin Publishing 4.70 10 16. Scarred Lands: Ghelspad Sword...

Just to throw in my 2 coppers: 1) Last Grenadier: Haven't been in years, mainly because they have an annoying habit of closing early on weeknights after people who have jobs and can actually afford to buy stuff get off work. 2) Aerohobbies: Just made my first visit a few weeks ago and was just...

You'll find it here: www.amazon.com

Just a reminder that if you want the Dungeoncraft articles, you can get most of them from a web archive of when they were on the Wizards site, but two of the links seem to be broken: http://web.archive.org/web/20020609200026/www.wizards.com/dragon/article.asp?x=dungeoncraft,3

That Wizards of the Coast store is gone, and you're right, the Brentano's doesn't carry RPG stuff any more (I never saw any in there, actually, but I've only been going there for around 8-9 years since it's close to my work). I eon't know about the other store in the Beverly Center that you...

Don't get me wrong. I love living here. There are more game stores here than you'd find in smaller rural areas of the country, I think. It's just that... it's hard to explain. When I was a kid back in the 1980s, I'd see these ads in Dragon Magazine for the Mail Order Hobby Shop and how they...

You can also check out the stores on this link: http://www.strategicon.net/links_stores_ca_s.html Just be aware that Games of Westwood already closed down about 1.5 years ago or so, and of course all the Game Keepers are gone. I'm not sure about "Flights of Fancy". If you're flying into...

Near LAX (not really - but semi-close) is Aero Hobbies at 2918 Santa Monica Boulevard. Near Burbank Airport is The Last Grenadier. However, don't go there. Skip it and make the drive to Pasadena for the Game Zone. Both extremely lack in customer service, but Game Zone has a better RPG...

The Continuing Saga Just got in my first official review here at ENWorld. You can check it out here. Still waiting on reviews at RPG.net and D20Zines.

Unfortunately, no. I haven't actually ever looked for hieroglyph fonts before. I have a pretty cool book at home called "Reading Egyptian Art" (I think that's what it's called) that delves into how Egyptian art was very related to their hieroglyphs and walks you through how to "read" an...
