    DC Comics/Paradox Press Customer Service?

    Definately - thanks Joe B! I was planning on sending back my crumbling copy (once I found out some contact information) but I had no idea that doing so could be useful to the publisher as well as courteous. You learn something new everyday. In case anyone else is in the same pickle, this is...

    DC Comics/Paradox Press Customer Service?

    So I bought a copy of Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics yesterday and today the binding is falling apart. I'm only half kidding when I say that I'm afraid to open Reinventing Comics. George is a sad kitten. Anyone else have any problems with bindings recently? Anyone know if Paradox...

    Sorcerers using Wizard scrolls

    Yup - Straight from the DMG page 238 - A sorceror could try to cast the spell from the scroll at 5th level. There are three requirements for using a scroll, and one additional requirement for using one without a caster-level check. The three requrements are: (1) You have to be able to use the...

    A question about CRs

    Is the Grim Tales Gamemastering Document still for free at RPG Now? Nope - it's 1.95 again. Let me run some numbers through the spreadsheet for you... 8 or 9 CR 1/2 creatures is EL 5, as Plane Sailing says, but the spreadsheet predicts that to be an "very easy" encounter for a party of 4 level...

    New class preference--Am I alone on this?

    Steveroo's post is very interesting and I can see the appeal of both approaches - putting lots of options into a broad or modular class on the one hand, and doing variations on a theme - like how the Warmain, Unfettered, and my homebrewed Gunman class are all different flavors of fighter. One...

    Ephemeral Swarms -- CR 5 ?!?!

    I'm feeling the whack. How many HD/HP does this thing have, just so we can get a clearer picture?

    Stuff on the D20 System Guide and Reviews publisher pages

    So I've found two links to company "Homepage"s that had extra "http://"es in them - one was to Dragon Scale Counters' website, and another website that I can't remember... **Mid-post composition update: In fact - I just checked both the Green Ronin and Wizards publisher pages in the Reviews...

    So is "Chi/Rho: An Open Analysis of CR and EL, Copyright 2004, Jim Stenberg aka “Cheiromancer”; additional input by Craig Cochrane, CR Greathouse, and Benjamin Durbin." published anywhere besides these boards? Google turns up nothin'... I should also mention that in the very last post in the...

    Oh wow. Yeah - great PDF! Download it! The equation with base-2 logs is really cool. Check out the thread I mentioned, too - it's like a preview!

    Tell me about this free GAMEMASTERING PDF, please

    Ooh ooh! You don't have to use logarithms!! Cheiromancer and Anubis distilled the system down to easy math right here (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=86471&page=2), and I summarized how to use the system for encounter/adventure design in post 73. Read starting at post 70 or so, I guess.

    Tell me about this free GAMEMASTERING PDF, please

    Whoa! I made my decision before even following the link. I actually own Grim Tales and the GMing advice in it is great - but having it condensed in a pdf would be greater! I'll give you another report after I download it and give it a once-over.

    Bambi DVD - Why should I buy?

    I was going to say "buy it" until I read Cyberzombie's post and agreed... How about you go Ebaying for 2 DVDs instead? You could probably pick up both Bambi and Studio Ghibli's "The Cat Returns" for the same cash as retailing one or the other. It's not Miyazaki-ghibli, but it's still quite...

    Can illusions be used to provide a flanking bonus?

    Despite my love for the RAW, I'd probably allow it. And if someone wanted to "disbelive" an orc to deny its buddy a flanking bonus, then I'd rule the orc strikes him as a invisible attacker.
