Gohlbrorn - bulettes rock. The even distribution of votes suggests that all monsters related to illithids are cool, though.

I'm hoping to gather messages from the roleplaying community back home to gamers who are on active military duty in Iraq through the Baghdad Hobby Club. I know second-hand that there are many roleplayers in the armed forces, and that support from fellow gamers can mean a lot to them as they do...

They're super good - Wolfe invests heroic fantasy with all the weird mystery of its medieval roots. Imagine the Morte d'Arthur crossed with Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword and you're in the ballpark. And, unlike the New/Long/Short Sun books, all the complexity is crammed into just two volumes...

Just finished The Wizard and am taking a break before going back and reading both books again back to back. Seems to me this would make a great campaign world. Wondering who else has read this & if they agree!

Hope I'm not too late - I am as slow on the draw as Mark is fast, alas. I'd like to suggest a Masters and Minions event for the final slot: a D&D/d20 game introducing the new monsters in one of our Horde Books. We have three tournament modules that were originally used at Gen Con Indy last...

I'll be there - looking forward to seeing the people I met last year again and meeting more EN Worlders for the first time.

Burke, I see your email on my list - I'll try resending it to that address, or I could try an alternate address for you (or even PM you the registration codes!). What would your email have been, Troy? Email me at tav (at) behemoth3.com if you like, or just post here.

We do have some monks on staff, Wystan, but they keep using ki strikes to bust out of their cubicles and go fight injustice and perfect their martial arts. So I'd be happy to take you up on the offer of proofreading the remorhaz book!

We used a similar chart of NPCs level 1-20 in the Masters and Minions books; I think it's a great idea, and one of the bits of the DMG that people should steal more often :) We might not count as reputable publishers, though; our books use the Open Gaming License, but not the d20 System...

Get ready for Rage of the Remorhaz with a preview of the wyrfolk, fierce descendants of fire giants who survive the deadly artic cold through symbiosis with the remorhaz. With this sample of the third Horde Book in Behemoth3's Masters and Minions series, you'll be able to create one of these...

I was going to say that I've run D&D campaigns inspired by AD&D, but when I saw that Diaglo was the last poster to the thread I was afraid he'd beat me to it! Seriously, though, I was inspired to pick up the 3rd Edition, and thus get back into D&D of any stripe, by Ars Magica. It really...

Nope, neither dave_stebbins nor raging_epitaxis was on my list of emails. This is good news insofar as it means my mail merge didn't do something buggy, but it'd be a shame if you didn't get the prizes you deseve (anyone who quotes a minotaur pugilist in their sig deserves Maze of the...

I used to use a laptop much more than I do now, using Excel to handle initiative, perform calculations in combat, etc. The experience of being a tournament DM at GenCons this year drove me to a more seat-of-the-pants approach; now there are still situations in which I might work up an Excel...

Jonathan Tweet endorses using the CD variant on his website - he says the problem with the PHB version is that it's either-or and that it doesn't sum with the efforts of the rest of the party, both of which he feels are bad design. The CD variant is cool because it lets the fighter and the...

Dude, you're not squeezing nearly enough points from your Megalomania disadvantage! Here's what I'd like to see: "D&D 4E is a registered trademark of Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast is a registered trademark of Wizards of the Coast, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc...

I apologize for the delay, but I'm glad to say that a new round of PDFs has gone out: I've just sent registration codes to everyone who donated $20 or more, which can be used to download your choice of either A Swarm of Stirges or Maze of the Minotaur. I'm really glad to have had the chance to...

Ulp! I read fantasy novels so much more often than I do story hours - and the quality of your writing is so good that I'm never reminded that this isn't a novel - that as I'm going along I sometimes forget that this is based on a D&D game, but the death of a character really drives it home...

Well, what' s interesting about stats is how they differ from one another. The problem with the die-rolling system you're having isn't just power creep; it's also that all stats tend towards the ceiling, so every character is turning out more identical. The all-18s character is taking this to...

What it means for the d20 industry: The publishers of those books have already gotten paid; they sell books to the distributor. What happens to the books after that point doesn't matter. (Book stores, as opposed to hobby stores, are a different story; a bookstore can return a book it doesn't...

What city was that, Samothdm? I've been thinking about donating Masters and Minions books to my local public library, and trying to organize a donation drive for other companies to do the same. One of the hurdles will be convincing the library to start a RPG collection, so having other examples...
