...and in the 300th issue: (I initially left Silicon Sorcery and Sage Advice out of the contents, but I've edited them back in. Sorry.) As an insert, it will have a "trasparent template that will clearly show the effects of some common spells." The cover has a little box saying "Mature...

The cover article in this issue is the first of a new type of recurring feature called "Campaign Components." The articles "take all the best parts of a campaign idea and give you the tools you need to implement them in your home campaign or use them to build a whole new world." I'll go a little...

Here's all the info they had on submitting. Rules: Current members of The Eye Developers Group are ineligible for the contest. Any person who becomes a member of The Eye Developers Group after the contest starts is eligible. All entries will be judged by the members of The Eye Developers...

It didn't work the first time I clicked it, but it did a couple of seconds later.

I believe a couple of D20 companies have mentioned (on the publisher's forum) that they intend to release stuff they aren't going to reprint after a reasonable interval (6 months to a year, IIRC). Atlas has said it will be releasing old Ars Magica stuff, I think at least one (Fairies) is...

Bought and bumped. Despite being a type of product I wouldn't have bought normally, it's nice and I'm happy to have it, so thanks to everyone involved.

There were a couple of lists at the official site. The celestial animals: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/DnD_CC_20001124e.asp The fiendish animals: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/cc/cc20001229a

Ah, well I had something useful to say, but I guess it will have to wait. Pity.

If we include third party stuff, can we count PDFs? If only books with the 3e D&D logo on it count, then six. It'll be seven if I can't come up with a better birthday gift for my wife in the next week.

The Stiltling, from Asgard #2. It's a nice combination of cool imagery (halflings or gnomes leaping and dancing around on polearms) and a natural seeming progression in abilities. The second point may be a little too subjective, but when I read through the class features, it feels like a...

I found these sources poking around Kay's official site: "...They also have a book of essays called Byzantine Magic , edited again by Harry Maguire, that supplemented some other reading I'd done in curse tablets and other aspects of magic in late antiquity. "Gager's Curse Tablets and Binding...

Around a card table on mixture of a sofa, folding chairs and a couple of really nice swivelling chairs from a game table. Sitting around a dining table is probably best, though I believe one of our DMs prefered setup was when he was sitting on the floor with everyone else either in chairs or on...

Guy Gavriel Kay did a very heavily researched fantasy world inspired by the Byzantine Empire around the time of Justinian in his books Sailing to Sarantium and Lord of Emperors. He spun the religion off of Roman solar worship; with a doctrinal division between the west, where it focused on a...

Embarrassing as it is to post directly after myself, I just remembered Ernest K. Gann's Fate is the Hunter, which a lot of people consider one of -- if not the -- best books on flying ever written. It was sort of made into a movie with Glenn Ford, and the inherent difficulty of adapting the...

I'll just jump on the bandwagon saying the original version of The Haunting was a really cool, classy movie. Which reminds me of The Legend of Hellhouse, which was based on the novel Hell House by Richard Matheson. He also did the screenplay. Since they seem to have no problems with...

Morrus, once again I'd be glad I'm not you, if it really seemed reasonable that I might be. I hope my comment didn't sound like carping, I was just demonstrating that my answer wasn't hypothetical. If you have more rewarding or useful things to do than bringing back the Pokemon, by all means do...

I've been wondering how many of the people who have broken avatars have their preferences set to not show avatars (edit: to display anyones avatars to them, I mean). If you click on "user cp", you can find your way to page after page of broken avatars that you have to choose from.

I think the custom ones are working all right, but the grab bag we had to choose from here has disappeared.

The author was Cifford Horowitz. It was adapted from the real-time strategy game Battle Realms, which deals with the last of the Dragon clan nobility. As for the class, they meditate to control the spirit of the Dragon within them. This allows them to give their swords the flaming enhancement...

You're right. It wasn't really implicit in my initial rant. I should have been clearer.
