Nope, not changing. I thought 3e was fine as it was. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I looked at the revisions, and didn't like any of them, including the new ranger. In fact I thought most of the revisions would hurt gameplay rather than help it. From "nerfing" the spells, to the new...

Yeah, it's all a matter of taste. I looked through it in my FLGS, and I wasn't impressed. I admit the book is well written, just not my cup of tea. The setting is meant for role playing heavy groups. The basic premise is that the world is doomed and there is nothing that you can do to stop...

I don't want to be judgemental, but I'm wondering what the whole appeal of this bondage and S&M thing is. Is erotic now defined as seen a helpless girl tied up and beaten (or vice-versa)? NOTE: I have NOT seen the BoEF yet, so I won't say anything about it. However, I previewed the Hypnox...

I just hope that the BoEF doesn't reinforce the stereotype of D&D gamers being sex deprived nerds:D

Not to start a political debate, but during the Iraq war American forces fired upon Saddam Hussein's palace, trying to kill him as a "target of opportunity". Politics aside, how is this different from assassination? Could a "good" aligned assassin take out an enemy leader if it would end a...

I never said that some people associate trains with sword & sorcery . I said that everyone has a different idea of fantasy . The two words are different. Fantasy is anything that involves the supernatural or otherwise normally impossible. Hence fantasy can cover a wide base of ideas. Sword...

In other words? But who is to say what genre is appropriate for fantasy, and which one isn't. For example, from all the fantasy that I've read (outside D&D based novels), I've never have heard of spell slinging priests. Or at least, not in the same way as D&D. So for me I've always had...

Geez, for the love of God! Everyone is getting so worked up over a setting that they haven't even seen yet! All we've seen are some pictures of the concept art, and nothing else. Perhaps the "train" is confined to a particular advanced magic kingdom. The setting may rock, or it may suck...

I'll be praying for you.

d20 Dark Dungeons! Stats from Blackleaf, Elfstar, and the villanous, but sexy Mrs. Frost. And of course a writeup for the infamous mind bondage spell.

Well at times I try to create a real detailed world, only to have players want to just hack and slash. I finally realized that for the most part, it's hard to get a real exotic and detailed world to work as a role playing game. A detailed world requires a lot of background knowledge, meaning...

Does anyone remember the old SNES game Final Fantasy 2 (or Final Fantasy 4 in Japan)? Toward the end of the game, you went to the moon. The moon in Final Fantasy 2 was the home of the race of Lunarians. Also it was home of Bahamut the king of the dragons, who would allow you to summon him if...

Hmmm....Perhaps: Succubus: the Lust Wendigo: the Hunger Goth: the Angst Terrorist: the Jihad

I took a trip this weekend and went to Chigasaki to visit some friends. I was browsing the train station bookstore and to my surprise I found a copy of the PHB and DMG in Japanese. There was also a GURPS book called GURPS Power Ups in Japanese (It looked like anime). Naturally I had to buy...

I've been working on a fantasy campaign for some time. I've strongly thought of adding gun powder. I envision the dwarves, gnomes, and goblins (I base my goblins of those warcraft 2 goblins) as technological races. I'm thinking of having the dwarves and goblins (maybe the gnomes too) knowing...

I played a noble knight in a Birthright game some time ago. I would try to use archaic English when role-playing. However, none of the other players used it so I kind of stuck out as an oddball. After a while I decided to drop the whole thing since I was the only player doing it. Still if I...

I've played GURPS for some time so I feel the need to chime in. There are advantage and disadvantages to GURPS(No pun intended) Pros: 1.Character creation allows very diverse characters. There are hundreds of advantages, disadvantages, and skills to choose from. Disadvantages are actually...

What happened to our iconic bard? Has he been completely replaced by Gimble? Did Devis get the shaft?

I suppose that this seems like a silly question, but I'm wondering if the changes in 3.5e were ever playtested? I remember when 3e came out, Wizards would regularly post excerpts from playtesting groups from around the world to assure us that the game had undergone intensive playtesting...

Will a NetBook of Legendary classes be published anytime soon? Where can I find out more about this?
