    Everquest OGL

    EQ XP = D&D 3E XP times 2 That's correct. I bought the new EQ PH last weekend, just for fun as the price was worth the gamble, and lo the XP required to level up is exactly double what's needed in D&D 3E! IIRC the D&D 3E XP progression is proprietary in the SRD (one must adhere to the d20 rule...

    Gay men or women who play D&D

    I'm a friend of Dorothy too I'm really impressed by this thread, and I couldn't stay silent. From my experience, I have had to, and still do, separate my sexuality from my gaming interests. I hope to merge the two some day. But the gamers I know today are too homophobic and mysogynist too...

    That's Interesting...

    That makes sense I guess... Somehow, my imagination was getting the better of me and speculation of WotC weirdness concerning property rights and their hunt for setting material--well, nah... Just speculation ;) -W.

    That's Interesting...

    Hello folks, Quite time some ago I had bookmarked two sites at starflung.com concerning Mystara (for nostalgia--I grew up on D&D Basic), and now they're gone... Whatever happened to dnd.starflung.com and mystara3e.starflung.com? (BTW the latter was a site dedicated to converting Mystara to 3E...

    [Speculation] What is "Project G"

    OK. My turn to guess. :D G is for Good. So the Book of Exalted Deeds? (I'm possibly the 2nd to mention this one.) G is for Gods. Well, there's plenty of deity stuff published already. G is for Greyhawk. I know I've read somewhere that the project is not a rehash of any previously published...

    [OT] What degree(s) do you have?

    Well I haven't posted here in a while, but the topic is really interesting! :) Moi? I've B.Sc. in Biology (1990, McGill University) and I've 8 years of work experience in Ecotoxicology. This was the best I could do at the time I think with the ecology, evolution and animal behaviour...

    Kalamar Players handbook Overview!

    You shouldn't be disappointed! Hello folks! :) I bought the Kingdoms of Kalamar Player's Guide last Saturday and I've poured over it in preparation of posting a good sized review within a week. (Draft extracts of that review can be found here.) I believe it is one of the best setting products...

    [Scoop] KoK Player's Guide

    Here's that thread previewing the feats in the KoK PG: Ta-dah! :) When I saw this list posted at the kenzerco.com board I became quite pumped about this product. Mind you, the proof is in the "tasting of this pudding", yet I'm confident us KoK fans will be impressed--it just "feels" like it...

    Problems with Sunless Citadel (Possible spoilers)

    That dragon priest... [SPOILER] Don't worry about that critter. As long as the PC's anticipate something "undeadish" lurking inside--and they should, it's predictable--they should be able to deal with it... ;) My players' PCs already were 2nd level (after having subued Calcryx, and fragged...

    Is character alignment essential to the D&D experience?

    ... my evolving thoughts on this matter, and conclusion! :D I'm really impressed by what people have had to say so far. :cool: everyone! I knew at the outset that character alignment, a being's "moral code", as many may say, is obviously a victim of our personal perceptions. Semantic problems...

    Is character alignment essential to the D&D experience?

    I ask this question because the concept of alignment for characters in D&D bothers alot of the gamers I know. Additionally it seems to me to bother ppl more than anything else... Can you play D&D without character alignment? Or is it too intrinsic to the game's mechanics or the D&D experience...

    [meta] What part of the world do you live in?

    I'm the 12th to vote Canada Well, odds are pretty good that American D&D fans are the largest population here. With about 75% of the vote--that's hardly sporting anymore... :rolleyes: :D So then, it's a race for position #2, the silver medal, the second fiddle, etc... ;) Who's it gonna be? I...

    What would you want in a sourcebook?

    Well James M., here's my 2 cents worth: First and formost: the market is cluttered with many, many, many, many, many, products for D&D and D20 fantasy. Did I say many? The only way you'll make money is to create something special, produce something unique AND interesting... Or, failing that...

    O.K. I'll try to change the thread title. Thank you for the suggestion, Colonel H. :D

    Chivalry & Sorcery vs Dungeons & Dragons

    Yes! Well, you can be proud of me then. :) I just took a moment to dig out my copies of C&S 3E and found out I own a copy of the GM's Companion too! And indeed, I'll keep it aside for support material for my Kingdoms of Kalamar (D&D 3E) campaign. ;) I wonder what other stuff people have dug...

    Two last comments on Sean's rant

    Quite off-putting actually... After having read the rant and its revision, I remain unimpressed. While I agree that there may be a need for standardization of terminology in an industry, a rant is hardly an appropriate means to get the point across. Posting copy of a professionally written...

    Chivalry & Sorcery vs Dungeons & Dragons

    Just a few hours ago I learned that a local store near where I live has stocked up on a large series of Chivalry & Sorcery books--about 10 different products IIRC. Wow, just like that. Well before D&D 3E came out, I picked up C&S 3rd Edition (I actually possess dusty copies of the 1st edition...
