The first time I remember seeing it was the 1E Player's Handbook. I'm sure Diaglo would know if it were around before that. My recollection is that you started as a Fighter, worked up to about 5-8th level, then switched to a Thief, did that until you passed the level you stopped as a Fighter...

I'm curious why it doesn't fit. When the 3.0 Oriental Adventures came out, I didn't allow Wu Jen just because I thought that they were too close to a regular wizard and could be role-played as wizards with a different background and such. Reading over it again in Complete Arcane, though, I...

I basically have monotheism in my campaign world. It's all fantasy but I used real-world religions as inspiration. I use saint-like beings as intermediaries as some have suggested in order to cover off all the domains and such, and I have various factions and stuff in the various churches that...

You're tellin' me! But, it's not just gamers who do this sort of thing. It's people. There are always going to be a few that ruin it for everyone else. I know this probably sounds like an Urban Legend, but the reason I know is because I had gone to All Star Games to buy a few singles of...

About maybe 9 years ago when Magic was reallly hot, the owner/manager of All Star Games in Diamond Bar told me that she came home from a Con here in Southern California. The back of her truck (a pick-up with a shell on it, I think) had a bunch of really rare Magic cards in a box in the back...

:lol: That was priceless...

Huh. They must have been talking about Aero Hobbies in West Los Angeles... ... or Game Zone in Pasadena... ... or All Star Games in Diamond Bar... ... or...

This was when my dad had been transferred to Salt Lake City from Reno (talk about culture shock! I was going from 5th to 6th grade and didn't understand just how different the people in those two cities were going to be...). So, it was the Salt Lake City library.

They're called "Options" for a reason. They're "Optional." I think a lot of it might depend on how often you play and how long your campaigns last. For the campaign I run, we've been playing for about 3 and a half years with pretty much the same group of newbies, so Core was fine for them...

I bought a bunch of stuff for 1/2 price this way at my local Gemco (later "Fred Meier") store by noting to the store owner that part of the product was missing. People had done exactly what you said - opened an item and taken pieces out. I picked up "Top Secret" for $6 this way because...

Back when I was in Junior High, our local city library had a bunch of RPG books (originally) but the more I got into the hobby, the more frustrated I got when I'd go to check out a book only to find that it had been missing for years. They eventually stopped carrying them altogether. During...

I don't think that this is anything to be surprised about. Remember how expensive and difficult it used to be to get Magic or Pokemon cards? D&D/d20 isn't in the same collectibles-type market that those CCGs are, but in general, after things are out for a few years, the price drops as new...

This is true, but it's not a clear-cut black-and-white issue as to which is better: subscriptions or newsstand circulation (from an advertiser's perspective). A newsstand purchase is usually considered more of an impulse buy, so the thinking is that you know the person who just bought that...

My favorite dating rule is: "No matter how good looking they are, just remember that someone else was sick and tired of putting up with their :):):):)."

1) Samothdm 2) Martin R. Thomas 3) To date, only one has been published, but I'm finishing up the second book now. The book is, as is obvious from my sign, The Quintessential Aristocrat.

Short & Sweet: I drive about 30 miles in Los Angeles rush-hour traffic after work to pick up my date. I knock on the door, she lets me in but is acting a little strange. We get back in my car and start driving to the restaurant when she tells me that she doesn't really want to be going out...

Piratecat, you can ignore my private message. I actually did download the Legends of Avadnu. I just thought I hadn't. Thanks Le, for all of your free PDFs. Good stuff. Something kind of weird happens on my yahoo account wherein half of your e-mails come through to my Inbox but, randomly...

My first 3E character was named "The Man Without Honor", a fighter/sorcerer (later the DM allowed me to swap my sorcerer levels with shugenja levels) who became a Master Samurai (Sword & First). I wanted to play an Asian-flavored samurai character, but we started playing before OA had come out...

Don't you remember your "Star Trek: Deep Space 9" episodes? The Defiant had ablative armor added to it when they began to get involved in fighting the Dominion around the start of Season 3. Actually, come to think of it, I guess I never really turn off my "geekmode" while here on ENWorld. :)
