Hmmm....First it was a S&M prestige class, now a prostitute prestige class. What's next, a prestige class that specializes in watersports? If this is the future of D&D, I want no part in it!

If you read the PHB backwards aloud you hear horrible demonic messages. Also there are some passages hidden in the PHB which are supposedly blasphemous rites to summon demons and other otherworldly beings.

Midnight is pretty dark and gritty, but perhaps if DM'd right it could be an engaging setting. I could envision it played as a setting where legendary heroes take back the night. Midnight could lend itself to heroism since the players are considered to have a legendary "bloodline". Anyway...

With all the talk about D&D being a "living game" that "constantly evolves as it is played", I'm wondering how long it will be until the next edition come out based on "player feedback". I guessing we will hear about 3.7e in about a year and a half. (3.5e was anounced barely two years after 3e...

The same happened to my dog last week. I know your feelings all too well. :(

Sure the new weapon size rules are more "realistic", but since when has realism been a factor? We accept the abstract nature of hitpoints, not wanting to bog down the game play with tons of hit location and special damage charts. The new weapon size rules add another level of complexity and...

Well, before we see D&D 4e, we will see 3.7e and 3.75e. Anyway here are some of my predictions for 4e. 1. Miniatures are absolutely ESSENTIAL for the game. You no longer create characters, but instead have to buy miniatures with their stats printed on a clickable base. 2. Spell lists will be...

Forget about it! I'm sorry to say, but methinks that the book is vaporware. Given the fact that it was supposed to be released 2 years ago, I doubt it will ever see the light of day.

Sort of, but I still don't really like it that much. My problem is the focus on "combat styles". To me the option of combat styles is really a half-@$$ed solution to the complaints about two weapon fighting. Now a ranger can be a master archer OR A TWO WEAPON FIGHTER! In my opinion, the...

I really agree with dcollins's essay. IMHO, 3.5e has really hurt D&D. First and foremost, a new revision wasn't needed. I don't recall hearing anyone whining how 3e really sucked and needed to be fixed. Whatever problems there were, they could have fixed by simple DM rulings. (E.g. The...

I really enjoy using minis for gaming. However, I hate 3.5e's overemphasis on miniatures. I always saw minis as something that you could use or do without depending on the game. With that said, I HATE WotC's new minis. Why? First, I hate the cheap plastic. Second, I hate the crappy paint...

Alas! I know the problem all too well! I've been unable to get involved in a good gaming group for a while. Part of the problem is lack of commited players. Let's face it, gaming is kind of a fringe hobby. Most people I know would rather go to the movies, bars, or some house party on the...

Sorry to hear about it! :(

I hate to say it, but I really think this book is just vaporware. I've been waiting for over 2 years, and it has yet to be released. Plus, Eden doesn't have much info on their site about it. Sorry Eden, but I've waited too long.

Yeah, I really miss 2e artwork. Sure I like 3e rules a lot better, but I 2e artwork will always hold a special place for me. All the 2e artwork really envoked a sense of "high fantasy" and adventure. Most of the 3e artwork just seems a little weird. What's with the impractical spikey armor...

Okay, I know this is a stupid rant, but I've been wondering about this for some time. Why is 3.5e called 3.5? When I originally heard of the books, they were called the "revised" core rule books. Somewhere along the line, they became the "3.5e" core rule books. Now, maybe this is just me...

Well, I'm not so sure of the necronomicon, but I do know for a fact that reading Steven Hawking's A Brief History of Time can cause insanity. (I'm actually serious about this! Have you ever known anyone taking a high level physics course? They're all a little freaky - like they've learned the...

Mongoose's Ultimate Game Designers Handbook has a section on chases. However, since the book is a collection of d20 material from different sources, the rules probably are also found in another product.

*bump*

Okay, I've been waiting some time for a set of good mass combat rules. I have been thinking on picking up either Malhavoc's Cry Havok or Eden's Fields of Blood. However, despite what Eden says, I really think that Fields of Blood is vaporware, so that leaves me with Cry Havok. I've been...
