Psion, can you elaborate a little on what you mean by this particular quote above? I'm really interested in your take on this since I'm working on some PrCs for publication right now and want to make sure that I understand what you mean. For ease, I copied your review on the PrC section of...

Certainly my favorite site. :) Not to my knowledge. I have a Von's Club Card but I don't recall getting any literature to that effect. Then again, I tend to throw out about 99% of the mail I get so it's possible that I tossed it without reading it. Regular advertising certainly slowed...

Decipher Script, Craft & Profession As a DM, I try to look for circumstances to let my players use their skills. I have a fairly newbie group, and my wife (brand new to RPGs) chose a Rogue and then dumped quite a few skills points into Decipher Script. So, what I try to do is every once in a...

Hi, there. I live in Southern California. One of my best friends works at Albertson's and was "locked out" during that time period since he is a Union employee. My wife and I usually shop at Von's (Pavillion's) but during the entire time that the Union employees were locked out, we took our...

Not only a new book, but I just noticed Monte's new site design. I sweat I was looking at it earlier today while at work, so he must have just changed it today.

Perhaps, but that really has nothing to do with this particular book. If someone wants to say that "This book sucked so bad that I'm going to quit the game" then, I guess that's fine. But, at least wait until it comes out to say it sucks.

I'm sure that there are, but I can't think of any right now. As far as adding new books and new rules for 3.x, this complaint just never seems to go away. I'm not entirely sure why. My wife likes to do needlepoint. She gets excited when she finds new colors of yarn. I never hear her...

We did the same thing for our home office (formerly "the junk room") when I got laid-off from work. We got the shelves reasonably cheap at IKEA. The ones we have are on a kind of track (I don't know what else to call it) that goes from floor to ceiling and is bolted into the wall. Then you...

I've actually used some old-fashioned suitcases from my grandma to store games (mostly boxed games like Top Secret and 1st Edition Gamma World) and also some of my card games. You can usually get them pretty cheap from a thrift store. Buy a few different sizes and then stack them with the...

Weird - every time I click on "Edit Comment" it just adds a new blank comment. Sorry about that... Anyway, I was looking at the preview of this online as a PDF and noticed a couple of weird things: 1) Profession: Artillerist lists Intelligence as the key ability score. I'm assuming this is...

Thanks for the plug, Crothian! I have a pretty big PDF collection myself but none of them seem to quite match what you're looking for (weird technology, Cthulhu creatures, or herbs/herbalism). For short adventures with maps and such, try the free WotC adventures on their website. (I think...

I don't think there's a list that you can just click on to see who is advertising, but of course Morrus would know who all of the current advertisers are.

Psion, could you elaborate on this a little? I was working on tweaking some of these for something I'm working on but I'd like to get your input as to your experience in play.

You could always pull some NPCs down from the Rogue's Gallery forum...

I DM'd my group through a Basic D&D module (converted to 3.0/3.5) that required them to Peacebond their weapons before entering town. Similarly to what Ibram mentioned, it required them to tie their weapon into a sheath or basically tie it up somehow as to make it useless in combat until untied...

Shipping Costs I'll join the group who will be happy to pay the shipping costs if I win something in the drawing that would require shipping.* I would also be happy to donate a copy of the PDF I wrote for Mongoose but I'm not exactly sure how I would do that since I only freelanced for them...

Back when I used to work on WotC's advertising (in 2000-2002), we planned/placed some M:TG online campaigns for them. Even then we knew that pop-ups were intrusive and that people hated them, and yet the "click-thru rate" for the Magic Pop-Ups was many times greater than it was for the little...

Kevin/Pirate Cat. I donated through Pay Pal just now. I forgot that my paypal uses a different e-mail address as the sender. I'll PM you with the info. Good luck - looks like you're well on the way to getting what you need. Given that ENWorld is the only site I check pretty much every...

I've been working on my campaign world since 1988 and wanted to organize my boxes full of notes and such into one cohesive place that would take up a lot less actual physical space. It makes it easy to check on stuff, no matter where I am at the time. I also thought it would be usesful for the...

Back in 2000-2001 when I worked on their advertising, my client in the Wizards of the Coast marketing department pronounced it "WOT-see". I actually did think it was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek rhyme with "Nazi".
