Reviews are what attracted me first to ENWorld. I hung around long enough reading them that I finally decided to sign up to post on these boards, and eventually writing two reviews of my own. This is the first I heard that the site couldn't handle them - I thought John, Joe, Crothian and Psion...

D&D hooked me for a couple of years, but I then jumped into other games. I was always "stuck" being the DM for players who expected the game to always go their way. In high school and college I really enjoyed Marvel Super-Heroes from TSR.

I think that DDM should be used as a "gateway" game to D&D as it's more tactile with the figures, and there's the collector aspect that pre-teens and teens enjoy. I started playing in 1978 when I was 12. I think that's about the right age - you have the intellect to absorb the rules and the...

"Star Wars: Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn. In all my 40+ years I've never read a Star Wars novel, and I heard that this series was one of the best. I'll say this about it, when I read the characters' dialog, it sounds like the movies. The plot so far is so-so, not gripping, but then...

That's how my players have been getting around. I'm running a desert setting, so having caravans travelling from destination to destination, makes it very easy for my characters to feel like they can easily find where the adventures are. Caravans also provides excellent sources for buying and...

Shelzar is going to make an appearance soon in my game. I wouldn't call it "most unusual" but for what I want (decadent city of traders between the ocean and a large desert) it will work.

All depends on which shelves you buy from Ikea. Our Ivar shelves have held our library for almost ten years. Made out of solid pine, these are really good and long-lasting shelves. I really like they are modular, come in different heights, widths and lengths. You can buy pieces to wrap them...

:D Here I am! So far I've managed to stay away from posting to this thread for fear of getting a reputation like some rabid system supporters. But when you say Beetlejuice three times, you know what to expect... Over the past year or two in talking about True20 we've said what we've said for...

When Peter Weller (Robo-Cop)'s acting career hit a wall in the mid-1990s he decided to go back and get a post-graduate degree in art history. He's now a part-time lecturer at Syracuse University. http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/01/robocop_phd.html

I think you've uncovered my new favorite music group - My Barbarian! :p

Yep - as were my father and grandfather. There are many well-known Toons, although none I can claim as direct relations. There's Al Toon, the New York Jets wide receiver and Malcolm Toon, the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union back in the 1970s. When you insult a Toon, you insult my...

Present company excluded? ~I've been a Toon since 1966! ;)

Welcome to the neighborhood! If you're looking for a group, here's a couple of ideas: * Fort Worth Gamer's Meet-Up takes place the second Saturday of the month. Here's a link for more details- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FtWorthDnD/ * Pen and Paper Games has a player registry and there's...

Probably in the next couple of months. Shelf date is in April. Here's the full announcement from Chris Pramas of Green Ronin.

I think you thinking of: Chwidencha from "Drow of the Underdark" CR9 Large abberation Here's the description from the book: What seems to be a writhing mass of flexible, hairy spider legs surge forward, revealing long barbed spikes at the ends of its many appendages.

Awww, MGM (and this tread) had so much potential. ENWorld just isn't the same place since he left. :(

I'd ask two important questions: What are they running from (their past)? Is there something in their past that pushes them around today? Fugutive from another country? Abject poverty and a vow never to live like that again? Bordom of being a petty lord's scion? Failing a family member...

Chris - thank you for listening to all the True20 fans on your boards and ENWorld!

I'm using Reaper Master Series paints over GW's black spray primer, and its working out well. Maybe I don't understand this idea of foundation paint, but wouldn't you run the risk of using different shades underneath from those on top? I like Reaper's MS, where I can dillute with water, mix...

Personally when I bind my printed pdfs I go with spiral bound. I like to fold the book in half when I'm reading it, without worrying that I'm spliting the spine. I've typically go to FedEx/Kinkos with my already printed pages, and use their PCs to print out the really nice color covers, then...
