These look pretty good, LNS. You might want to change the names of the Derringer and the Sniper Rifle though, they are too modern sounding. (And I believe 'Derringer' is named after John Derringer, someone who probably never existed in your campaign world) For the sniper rifle, how about...

The "Is 3rd edition dead?" headline kinda pissed me off, too. That headline gets attention by inspiring fear in the reader, which is manipulative and cruel. Its also misleading, because the article itself tries so hard to spin the changes in a positive light. It may have worked if the editors...

Gaming books are also not immune to the 34 year time warp: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0972359958/qid%3D1042362773/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/002-8917731-1868822

I snuck it into Tracy's bed during Not-A-Con. :)

Ashwyn's strange encounter with Madam Cthulu (http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34842) reminded me of a new tradition that my gaming group started at OryCon, the last gaming convention we went to... It seems a past resident of our hotel room left a copy of Penthouse...

Happy Birthday, Denise. The 12th is, of course, also my birthday. The parents of great minds think alike, eh? -psi

If they stick to this statement, "it is important to note that the revisions included in each rulebooks will be fully compatible with existing backlist products." then I am all in favor of revised core rule books. Obsoletion of the many hundreds of dollars worth of WotC and D20 product is...

Totally agree about The Banewarrens. My group is running through it right now, and they just love it. Although there is a large dungeon component to it, the intrigue, double-dealing, and NPC interactions are what's really great about this module. Pick it up.

Good Evening, Every other week it seems, there is another Relics & Rituals, or Spells & Magic, or Book of Eldritch Might released... And that's great for your wizards, clerics, druids, etc. But what about those classes that aren't covered in the PHB? Case in point: I'm playing a shaman...

For my group, I did the Freeport trilogy to get them from 1-6, and am just starting The Banewarrens which will bring them from 6-10. After that, I'm thinking of doing Hell in Freeport, which is for levels 10-12, so they should all line up just about perfectly.

I always hated the fact that drow items disintegrated in sunlight. Partially because it always seemed like it was a lazy designer's excuse for giving them great stuff: The PCs can't use it anyway, so why not have even the weakest example of the race have a +2 weapon? The second reason is that...

The main problem with taking one level of a psionic class is psychic combat. Having 0-1 defense modes and almost no powerpoints makes this character extremely vulnerable to psionic attacks now that their mind is 'open'. Of course, the two groups I play in are yet to use psionic combat (other...

Wow, I'm kind of surprised. I didn't like issue 300, but I found Dragon 301 to be one of the best issues I've received in the two years of my subscription so far. The Swashbuckling section with the fencing styles, feats, and variant rules was great. The article on masterwork peformances for...

It would be cool if this thread could stay on subject, because I for one happen to like it. So if the economic lessons and ensuing insults could cease, maybe it won't be closed in the next 8 minutes or so. Getting back to Deadlands D20 vs Cthulu D20, I'm thinking that these cases might serve...

Odd.. Concentration checks come up all the time in our game. Its usually when someone holds their attack to attempt to disrupt spellcasting, but casting defensively comes up frequently, too. Sure, the spellcaster could get completely surrounded, but the more likely scenario is that a creature...

We have two players like this in different groups that I play with. It can be a bit frustrating at times, but both of them are good enough players and good enough guys that its not that big of a deal. New characters in our group always start at the very bottom of the level occupied by the...

Thanks for the mini-review! Although I'm not much of an anime fan, Princess Mononoke is one of my favorites, so I have high hopes for Spirited Away. Alas, its not playing in my area yet, but I realllly want to see it.

Like the "Have you investigated other d20 companies" comment, this is a 'Chicken and the Egg' argument: I'm going to inherently trust that publishers are made up of reasonable people who can take bad reviews. Only when they prove themselves unworthy of that assumption will I show my...
