    What is the best Free RPG accessory you have ever used?

    I'll second Ink & Quill from Bastion Press. There's also Philip Reed's Forbidden Arcana: Birth Signs There are tons of campaign settings online (fan-based) that have some decent stuff in them. You can also get some free 2nd Edition downloads from the Wizards site (or probably now on SV...

    How long has it been in-between tabletop games?

    Have you tried checking the "gamer's wanted" boards at All Star Games? I went to Cal Poly, Pomona, also. It's easy - just take Temple east to the 57 freeway and go south to Pathfinder. Exit Pathfinder, make a left, and then make a right on Diamond Bar Boulevard. They're in the little strip...

    Fantasy Dictionaries

    I've found The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference to be pretty helpful.

    Share the Love thread

    Just "shared the love" on Complete Divine and Age of Legends to Group B. Enjoy, and please share back to the "A" group if you buy anything. I'm not actually on either list - could you add me: samothdm at yahoo dot com.

    What D&D memorablia do you have?

    Not counting actual RPG material... * I seem to think my mom bought me a coloring book featuring characters from the D&D cartoon. Am I making that up? * In the early 1990s I did a college project for a marketing class on the "Dark Sun" campaign setting. TSR sent me a bunch of "press kits"...

    How long has it been in-between tabletop games?

    We played last Sunday, 5/16. Our next session is scheduled for... June something? It's very difficult trying to coordinate schedules with married couples, couples with babies, people traveling for work, and people traveling to visit relatives. It'd be much easier to game after work but...

    Egyptian Based Sourcebooks

    The Sand of Empires site has quite a bit of information and resources for you. There was also a thread here on ENWorld awhile back that got up to four pages of advice and suggestions for an Egyptian Campaign. Find the thread here.

    Pathfinder 1E Changes at Paizo

    Random Thoughts on Advertising Keith, I remember chatting with Jesse Decker (I think it was him) on the boards here more than a year ago and at the time I mentioned that I thought Dragon could get a lot more advertisers if they updated their audit with the Audit Bureau of Circulations...

    The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth - your experiences?

    I never got a chance to play or DM this adventure, but I received it as a gift as a kid (probably 6th or 7th grade, I think). One of the things I vividly remember reading about was a random monster encounter with a group of "tribesmen" who had a "Medicine Man" that was a 5th level Druid. That...

    Conversion of Basic D&D Module B7: Rahasia?

    Has anyone converted this already, or seen one online? I'm mainly interested in figuring out the mechanics for the "Black Opal Eye".

    An Open Letter to Dragon and Dungeon Readers

    Keith, I asked a question on Page 5 but it seemed to have gotten buried in my "pro-Wil Wheaton" post. Anyway, since Dragon is now just player material and Dungeon is just for DMs, but about articles like "Campaign Components" (such as Knights, Swashbucklers, Spies) that had content for both...

    An Open Letter to Dragon and Dungeon Readers

    Dragon: I've really liked the magazine recently. I don't use, or read, everything in there, but there's always at least one or two things that interest me. Unfortunately, I think that most of those things are being moved to Dungeon As far as the changes, I think I'll just have to wait and...

    Need PrC Advice

    I'm a little brain dead today. It's been a rough week at work. I need two different PrC suggestions: 1) The first is for a ranger, almost a kind of eco-terrorist type who guards a specific territory (whether it's forest, desert, river, etc.) with fanatical resolve. 2) The second is for an...

    What a a list the Non specific DND core books

    I think people are a little confused as to specifically what you're asking for, but since you said "DND 3.5 Rulebooks" besides the core books, then the list would include: 1) Complete Warrior 2) Complete Divine 3) Complete Arcane (November) 4) Planar Handbook (July) 5) Races of Stone (July) 6)...

    Historical Troop Designations

    I think some of them did have very ostentatious dress. The type you are referring to with the wings on their backs was mentioned in a special on the History Channel (or it might have been the old Discovery Civilization channel - I can't remember for sure). Apparently the idea was that seeing...

    Historical Troop Designations

    No. Hussar comes from the Hungarian word "Husz" which means "Twenty". The idea was that every 20th house had to supply a man to be in the Hussars. I remember there was a drawing of one in my parents' World Book Encyclopedia from 1960 or so. The picture had a guy in very elegant dress with...

    Los Angeles area FLGS

    And they never seem to be open when I'm over there. Last time I was in Burbank I was going to drop by but the place was closed at 7pm. Absolutely agreed. I made several posts to this effect on rpg.net. The thread is here but you have to dig for the comments about Game Zone. My comments are...

    What are the major RPG systems?

    Thanks for the correction - you're totally right, of course. Now I remember that those were FGU, not GDW. I corrected my original post to make the change. I had forgotten about Villains & Vigilantes, too. My (f)LGS had a copy of Bushido in their 50% off bin a couple of months ago. The...

    does anyone out there use the kingdoms of Kalamar setting?

    I'm really sorry about that, Psion. I should've checked before I said that. I'm usually pretty strapped for time and so I tend to concentrate only on reading your reviews for products. I just assumed it must've been you who reviewed "Stealth and Style". Turns out the review I was referring...

    does anyone out there use the kingdoms of Kalamar setting?

    Based on what little I know about the setting, I'd say that it is probably a little more similar to Greyhawk (in terms of magic level, etc. - not in terms of "themes" and "flavor") versus Forgotten Realms (which is a higher magic level). I'd read this review by Psion and when you're done if...
