    Where do YOU steal your names from?

    I have an old dictionary (published in the 1860s). it has a section in the back with thousands and thousands of names grouped into Greek, Arab, Christian, and others. I also have a couple self-designed methods for coming up with names. One is based on Welsh spellings and pronunciation, the other...

    So how long have YOU been playing D&D?

    Started in 84 when I was 10. My dad and his friends invited me to play in their game that had already been going for a few years (since 82 probably). It was a friday night. I remeber that I couldn't sleep when we got home after that first game because my head was full of ideas about flaming...

    Best Class for a new player

    I've always recommened fighter, but give them a brief overview of the others and ask them about their interests and see if they are more interested in something else.

    Technical Difficulties

    I see. I should have been more clear about what to expect. I started to explain about the overlap in my first post, then decided I was just talking too much (which I do sometimes on message boards) We plan to get back on the Primal Legends classes as soon as we are done with the current...

    Technical Difficulties

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough about what to expect from this title. I've added a free demo, so other people can get a look at it before they buy. Here: http://www.bloodstone-press.com/1948/Serum-preview.pdf It's purpose is to portray the 1948 world, not offer a lot of "new" game rules. As...

    Technical Difficulties

    They temporarily alter the DNA of the user, so they provide "racial" bonuses. Though some are also unnamed bonuses. They are very similar to potions, but achieve their effects through physical changes rather than magical enhancement. They are not very much like mini-templates. The "Type" of the...

    Technical Difficulties

    As some of you may have noticed, we have not updated our web site lately. This is due to a mysterious malfunction with our web page editing software (MS FP 2000). We have attempted several repairs and work-arounds, but to no avail. The Deed of Last Resort (reinstalling the software) is at hand...

    Poll: Best superhero flick?

    I voted for Batman Begins. I really liked the way they handled the theme and some of the horror scenes. It also had a good plot, good acting, and good set design.

    Chess

    Yeah, I love to play chess. I don't get to play much any more, though. I'm pretty good at it too (though every time I say that, I lose). I've been able to beat my dad since I was 12. I beat a local "chess master" (at a ren fair) a few years ago. I was on the chess team in elementary school. When...

    Does a publisher/author's interaction here influence your purchases?

    Yes. I think it helps with awareness. I know there have been several products that I first heard about on these boards (not in the news section), either because the publisher was talking about it, or because he/she had a link in their sig. From a publisher's point of view, I usually see an...

    "The Best in d20 PDFs"

    I think that's a good idea. It could even be something that RPGnow/Minion Development does as a way to promote its publishers and the PDF market, rather than one particular publisher becoming the lightning rod for criticism (along the lines of "Who does this guy think he is" and "Look at him...

    D&D-influenced Fantasy Novels

    Thanks. ;) I don't know about "very," they do live underground, they hoard gems like dwarves, they are gadgeteers (IIRC the Gnome king has a rube goldberg type periscope) Yeah, guns grow on trees in Oz. Fortunately it doesn't come up much in the stories, IMO. The characters rely more...

    D&D-influenced Fantasy Novels

    The 14 original Oz books are surprisingly similar to DnD. Oz features: Wands of Invisibility, a slight difference between Sorcerers and wizards (in Oz, like in 3.5, sorcerers cast spells intuitively, while wizards must study books to learn magic), Giants, witches, fairies, awakened animals...

    Are you put off by "Creative" Campaign Settings?

    Not at all. I like ideas that are new and different.
