    $70,000 for one comic book

    I don't know how Overstreet handles tracking sales on ebay though. I'd check out Comic Buyer's Guide, which does a lot of price analysis of comic sales on ebay.

    Dead Again

    If you have a player that's hooked on playing the "hero", you might consider instituting Action Points as a backup to their sometimes bad rolls or stupidity.

    April '08: What Are You Reading?

    You know, I've been pleasantly surprised. It's a murder-mystery wrapped in a fantasy setting - much like our own world but with magic and mythological gods. The book centers around Setne Inhetep, an Aegpytian detective who travels to Loundon on behalf of the country's top mages to solve a...

    April '08: What Are You Reading?

    More than half-way through The Anubis Murders by E. Gary Gygax. After that I'll be reading The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman that my wife recommended.

    POkemon d20

    That looks like it, although in a different format. And the print out I have has Eevee and its various mutations, while this site does not.

    What are you reading (Mar '08)?

    Lucky dog! :p I'm still waiting for Amazon.com to ship it to me. I've had it on order since early February.

    What are you reading (Mar '08)?

    It's been about twenty days since my first post to this thread and since then I started and finished A. Lee Martinez's Gil's All Fright Diner and started EGG's The Anubis Murders. "Gil's" was very much in the horror-humor fluff genre, while I've been pleasantly surprised by Gary's writing in...

    When you want to strangle a player

    Elf Witch - I think you did everything you could have and should have. It sounds like this player has a hard time sharing the spotlight with others. We all want to have our unique role in the group, but sometimes things just don't go our way. He is being unrealistic in asking you to nerf the...

    POkemon d20

    Someone created and posted a homebrew version that you can sometimes find online. It uses D&D 3.0 rules, so you have to do some conversions on the critters. I found it using Google, but it didn't come up in the quick search I just did. You might play around with the terms a bit and see what...

    Has 4e given everyone writer's block?

    I guess its where you look. Wolfgang Baur is busy with his Open Content and Kobold Quarterly, Paizo announced Pathfinder RPG. True20 is a little on hiatus as we're expected a revised first edition in a month (core rules + companion - settings), and M&M published one new book this month. Green...

    "Switching"

    I totally agree with this. That's why there are OD&D, 1E, and 2E groups that still meet and play. If my group decides PF RPG is the bee's knees, then that's where we are going, but its not like I converted to a different religion. It's what we enjoy and works for us. And that won't stop me...

    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    That one has me scratching my head as well. There are twenty travellers and thirty camels, so they can spare some and get by.

    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    I know it felt like a railroad to me, but I also thought that this dragon would have all the angles covered. The bandits are expected to know the lay of the land in detail, and that means knowing about any large caves. The second exit was used to allow air flow for anyone staying there. As...

    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    Post-Game Report for March 14 Thanks everyone for your pre-game input. One item I looked into was the Destroy Water ability. Unfortunately the range is 25 ft. + 5 ft. per caster level. The dragon is 5th level, so he doesn't have enough range to activate this and create additional problems for...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    That's cool. Some people though think that burning any books is evil, and get their shorts in a wad when some inconvienent truths about the book industry arise. Publishers and booksellers are companies that have to deal with inventory that either won't move, or will hurt the sale of future...

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    I meant WoTC destroying inventory, not WW. I was contrasting WW's deal with Ourph's statement of WoTC destroying excess book inventory once 4E hits the shelves.

    Would you Swap 3.5e for Exalted?

    It's called an inventory write off and it helps reduce corporate taxes. It has nothing to do with altruism and everything to do with profitability. Without profit, WoTC and Hasbro wouldn't be in business and all those game designers and contributors would be looking for work elsewhere. The...

    [AICN] I Can't Stand Harry Knowles

    The only thing I liked about the site is his monthly DVD picks. He would post the list of newly released obscure Z-movies or foriegn flicks that I would often add to my netflix.com list. I haven't been to the site in a couple of years, so I don't know if he still does this or not.
