    Downtime

    I dont know how digitally accessible your players are, but one thing I have done for my gaming style, which has completely revolutionized our games is incorporate email and the use of Yahoo Groups. We take care of a lot of 'downtime' and behind the scenes stuff through the groups page and via...

    Eberron- And why I cannot jump onboard? A different take

    I am going to buy Eberron knowing full well right now that I will not be playing it. I want to buy it, just because I want to support someone else who is "living the dream" so-to-speak. With that said, I wont be playing it primarily because I already have a world I play in, and Eberron doesn't...

    Stronghold Builder's Guidebook

    If the first MMS is a watermark, then I will buy anything they produce from here to eternity, and yes, I think they would do a wonderful job on a castles publication. As to Strognhold Builders Guidebook...eh...my response was tepid at best. I could complain incessantly about it, but I won't...

    What d20 Purchases to you Regret?

    So, here it is 2004 and we have all been at this a while. I have noticed an increase in folks asking if this book or that book was worth a crap or not and it got me to thinking. If you I had to do it all over again, would I spend the $5000+ that I have spent on gaming in the last three years...

    If I buy WotC's Complete books...

    Me my group have been pleasently surprised by the Complete Warrior. I hope that the other complete books are as good or better. The Splat Books were only okay at best, and oftentimes they were essentially useless. If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would buy any of the splat...

    Sources of Inspiration for Higher Level Gaming

    I think that the Silmarillion, like the Oddysey, is one of those books that alot of people want to have read, but do not want to actually sit down and read. But yeah, the Silmarillion all the way.

    New Directions for Malhavoc

    I don't play AU either, though I think it is fantiastically done. I do hope that you don't forget your core d20 products as well. I loved the angel, dead god, and meteor books. The eldritch series has been well received around our table as well.

    History Generator

    The second edition book, the World Builder's Guidebook had some interesting tables that I think were ultimately derived from the source in OA. Something you might want to consider is a "frequency" option. In other words, the ability to set it so that events occur "less" frequent. This would...

    [Green Ronin] Looking Ahead at 2004

    Excellent. Let me just say that Book of the Righteous had more effect on my homebrew than ony other non-wotc book published. The first two demon/devil books played heavily as well. You might even say that my homebrew is about 60% WoTC inspired 35% Green Ronin and 5% Other. Wicked wounds VERY...

    Suggestions for finding a GM to hire?

    Not at all. DMing is a full time job anyway. It something that has come up more than once with the people I game with. Basically, it is always real life that gets in the way of good gaming, and quite frankly my real life is rather dull. The only reason I do not DM 3-5 days a week is because...

    How much do you prepare for a homebrew?

    Yes! I cannot believe I forgot this! Yahoo Groups are almost a must! I use a different group for each game I run and it makes things so smooth. We get alot of 'behind-the-scenes' stuff done on email through the week and it really speeds up play time. I am not sure how we ever gamed before...

    Known High Level Characters In Each Campaign Setting

    I have nothing of substance to add here, other than this is something I would also like to see. I remember in the 2nd Edition rules High Level Campaign Options they had an interesting table that discussed demographics. I vaguely remember it working out to a 20th level character per million of...

    Need a Monster Book Suggestion

    Monsternomicon Liber Beastarius Tome of Horrors I have EVERY monster book that has been published in the last three years. Those three are the only non-WoTC products that I repeatedly turn to. CC and CCII are okay as well, and I have no complaints, i just don't use them as much. Also, lest I...

    How much do you prepare for a homebrew?

    Yup, I cannot pimp the Winnenger articles enough. It took me the better part of 5 years of serious discipline to build the level of dedication that I have now. Focus, for me anyway, is something that was learned and most certainly did not come easily, or for that matter, naturally. One thing...

    Homebrewers, where do you borrow from?

    I answered Greyhawk but that is only because my campaign began as greyhawk and has progressed through 1500 years of time since then. I honestly take more from other non-gaming sources. Joseph Campbell, Shakespeare, and Biblical resources drive my raw story ideas. Not that I necessarily keep...

    How much do you prepare for a homebrew?

    Don't know if you are still monitoring this...but here goes. I remember the Ray Wininger(sp?) articles quite well. The Rules of Dungeoncraft completely revolutionized the way I run and prepare my games. I am very fortunate in that my homebrew has been running continuously now since 1987. I...
