I agree with several posters that the BOVD is unnecessary and simply a marketing gimmick for WOTC to attract attention to the game. Attention that will do more harm than good. And despite what peolpe think about Hasbro and Monte's intentions, it will hurt the hobby. The maxim 'any publicity is...

Have to agree with the problem with the poll. I could be third or second gen... I started playing around 1985 with a OD&D basic box set I found brand new at a flea market. It was the 1980 edition with B2 in it and I still have it. After that, I moved into 1E AD&D for a short while, and then on...

I'm really looking forward to picking up Sidewinder Wild West d20 this month or the next. I love westerns. I've even decided to let a little cinematic action into the system by allowing the Shaman class from Oriental Adventures for indian mystics and the Ghostwalker prestige class amongst a few...

I agree with the thought that Sunless Citadel will be 3E's Keep on the Borderlands. Yes, it's a bit slow. Yes, it's a bit unrealistic. Yes, Meepo was annoying as hell for my players (something I got a lot of mileage of as he was one of the most interesting NPC in there). But then, those who...

The good news is that there is a fix for the Klez. I know, I had to use it. So don't erase your hard drive if you get it. I don't know which site has the fix, there were a couple, but a yahoo search will pull it up quickly. By the way, the Klez takes advantage of a security bug in Microsoft...

And the semi-constant DING! when changing tabs...?

Actually, it said so much of how I feel about the situation that I've spread the article to the American Army: Operations forum (for the Army Game of the same name). I did so because there are those on that board who have gone overboard with blaming the US government for the 9-11 attacks and...

Thanks for trying Franco, but I'm using 3.0 and it insists on DING!ing at almost everything I do. Turning the volume down is only an interim solution at best. Can anyone else give me some love on this subject? Leo? Mynex?

Actually, Sm!rk, there is a bug in your programme. You misspelled 'Hello.' You should fire your beta-testers and QA people for letting that one slip...:p

It would be a better idea if they did it for the Palm OS owners. There are a lot more of us as Pocket PC is a wee bit on the expensive side. $450+ vs. $150. That is a good idea, though. ETools would be much more useful if I could download the files to my Palm Pilot. there was supposed to be...

Thanks, but I'm still getting that blasted DING! when I switch tabs. Mind you, it's only on every alternate tab now...

And Knightcrawler, TSR didn't go under because of some 'gamers for gamers' mentality. Exactly the opposite. But I'm not going to explain that here. There's plenty of info on that almost anywhere you care to look...

It wasn't pointed at any one person in particular, but since you're feeling singled out, answer this: What is WOTC doing to discourage this image? ...Planning to lay off more design employees and give their creative duties to executives? ....Planning to cut a few more lines that customers...

Oh, and while I'm asking questions, what does the lst converter do? And why won't it allow me to use the point purchase method for ability gen anymore? It keeps telling me I'm out of points but it won't keep a point total when I enter it in...

I finally got 3.0 working, thanks to Cergorach, but now I have one more wee small problem... How do you turn off that annoying DING! when you switch tabs? It sounds like an error ding, but there is no error and the programme continues to run fine. I've looked through settings. Did I miss it...

The implication wasn't as severe as sabotage, but I thought it might have been part of the agreement you reached with WOTC to include a modification to 'correct' the use of non-SRD material, Leo. Hard to tell. The lack of information, which I assume is to let WOTC put their ducks in a row, but...

Beore you start swearing at me, maybe you should gather a little reading comprehension, you foul-mouthed twit. And if your accusing me of 'yelling,' what about an immature little git who uses foul language and all caps? And what are these 'initiatives' you're babbling about? I have tried using...

Just for the info of those who thought they might use the old lst files with 3.0, the programme reads those files as illegal and won't load them or any character created with them. Hey Leo, was that intentional, or just a side effect of the new version? Either way, I guess I'll be using the...

In my games, we always call hit point loss as 'near hits.' In other words, the ability of a high level fighter to turn blows and roll with punches means that severe hits are reduced to near misses or scrapes until around 10 hp or so. Then the hits start connecting and mortal wounds follow. It...

By the way, does this module present the Drow in the old manner or in the new one presented in the Drow issue of Dragon? You know, with the webs and spiders everywhere, the punishments of Lolth and the resulting extra abominations created when a test is failed, etc.
