Yay! I've been waiting for this book for a long time as well. :) Thanks, Matt.

Ugh - I feel that we're getting into rehashing the same old arguments that are in the 20+ page thread or however long it is now. I stopped reading it last week after I read the same arguments a hundred times. I think this is simple: People raised concerns (most of them, thankfully, in a...

I voted other. My campaign world is like a microcosm of world cultures, and has different time periods of cultures interacting with each other (but with the weapons and industry standardized to an early-Renaissance era of technology). So, there's a Western Europe type place (renaissance...

Nope - you're not "making a mistake". You can arrange them however you want. There are tons of different theories. Do you have a "character concept" in mind? Meaning, what type of dwarf fighting do you want to play? If you're thinking of playing the standard heavily armored, warhammer or...

Just curious - how did you hear about ENWorld? Welcome to the world of role-playing. I've been doing it for, well, longer than I'd like to admit. :) About 20 years or a little more. If you have the option, try to buy your Player Handbook at a game store rather than online or at a store...

...and I just did the same. :)

I just tried it again today and it still doesn't seem to be working. Anyone else having problems?

I heard that!

Using Dungeon or the free adventures on the WotC site is a really good idea. You don't have to read the whole DMG all the way through to run a game. Just be familiar enough with the rules that will come up during that session. If one of the NPCs has a particular spell, make sure you know...

I remember reading his online journal not too long ago, and he was still talking about how much he was looking forward to playing Vampire with his friends. I never interacted with him - only read his posts. But, when I read about his illness, it affected me enough that I chatted about it...

I can think of five different roles: Natural Man: The leader; tries to get people to work together (Ralph) (Charlie Brown) Intellectual Man: The thinker; provides analysis (Piggy) (Shroeder) Spiritual Man: The wise-one; sees things differently (Simon) (Linus) Immoral Man: The jerk; knows the...

There are four main continents and a "sub-continent" that are all attached to each other, much in the was that Eurasia was all connected at one point before continental drift gave us the continents that we have today. So, take Europe, Asia, African, and India and smash them all together and...

My wife, who HATES role-playing and only plays in my game because she thinks she's obligating to since I designed the world that we're playing in, bought the Buffy RPG and a couple of supplemental products through Amazon and intends to start a game. She's, well, let's just say she's toward the...

Actually, I think a thread about groups that buy solely WotC products versus regularly buying non-WotC OGL products could be interesting - get into the "whys" and "wherefores". But, yeah, I think it should be another thread. That's my fault. That's what I had in my head when I started the...

Absolutely. I imagine that it becomes very difficult for publishers to try to determine where that line begins and ends. I imagine that many of them may get frustrated and think that the *actual* potential purchasers are much lower, due to all the noise created by people who would never have...

Actually, what I'm trying to get at is: "If hundreds of people on ENWorld and RPG.net voice their opinion and say 'I will not buy these types of products' or 'I will not buy products from Company X until such-and-such happens', is that significant enough for companies to take notice, or can it...

This is exactly what I did in my current campaign world with the dwarves. They're oppressed by the predominately human religion of the area. All of the other races have "fallen into line" (as the humans see it), but the dwarves are the last hold-outs. They're secluded into ghettos and not...

Sure, there may be 1.5MM players, but how many of those are also purchasers of product? That's my point. Yes, the number of message board users is not a very big number. However, I suspect that once you get beyond the purchase of the Player's Handbook, you'll find that message board users...

This is exactly the same as the groups I game with. My theory, which seems to agree with Mark's, is that I don't think that people who are only casually involved with the hobby, who don't frequent message boards, are buying a lot of products. Consequently, seeing 18 pages on one thread on...

Basiran Dancer Schools Okay, this may be a really dumb question 'cause I don't have my book here with me. In Stealth & Style there is a list of alternate schools for the Basiran Dancer class aside from the default samarata school. The rules say that an "Initiate" in the school the...
