    Did you use minis and grids pre-D&D3?

    We've never used a grid before or after. If the situation is complex enough to require some sort of visual aid, it'll either be on scratchpaper, done with spare dice, or (just occassionally) I'll get out the Weapons & Warriors pieces. We considered resolving a mass combat with the catapults once.

    Artifacts of the Arcane 2 (rpg)NOW available

    This is very nice, I can tell I'm going to enjoy this series. I particularly like the rough hammer with the hand clutching from the haft (or is it meant to be a rough axe?); it's my character's Dwarven Thrower now. We can also use the slingshot, as the elves in one of our campaigns have them...

    [Dragon]I actually liked #304

    The monsters in the two interior illustrations did have tattoos on their arms, and on the slaad's legs. They didn't have the one on the face that all of them were supposed to have, though.

    Help me fill out my RPGNow order

    I don't know why I forgot this -- since I've been reading through it and see it at the top of the news page all the time -- but In the Saddle is a also a very good, useful suplement that I'll be using quite a bit from.

    Help me fill out my RPGNow order

    I'd suggest the Races of Evernor books and the Book of Templates from Silverthorne Games . Check out the stuff from Spider Bite Games (Phillip J. Reed). Arcane Creations by V. Shane is also extremely nice. I'd second (or third) the recomendations of Swords Into Plowshares and Great Aspeigh (the...

    [Dragon] # 304 Contents

    Yeah, it's generally useful stuff that doesn't depend on whether you allow monsters as PCs or not. This issue is only over-themed if you don't use monsters at all. They don't recommend anything as mount character, the article is pretty much straight rules. Assuming the mount character is...

    Mat Smith's Writing is Unpleasant [RANT]

    Just for a little context on Smith, he wrote the article on magic castle walls in Dragon #295 (the stronghold builder's guide tie-in). He also handled the "Epic-Level Countdown" previews for Dragon, which were hypey(sp?) but less telescoped and more to the point than the web pieces, closer to...

    [Dragon] # 304 Contents

    And in the next issue... #305 has an "Urban Adventure" theme. City Tiles, illustrated by Mike May. "...a huge 2-sided, miniature-scale poster map. On one side we present a city street for urban battles, and on the other ... the sewers! If you pick up Dungeon #97, you can use both issue's...

    [Dragon] # 304 Contents

    Yes, finally. Sorry for the delay. I won't proofread it next time[Edit: I see I didn't quite do it enough, though.]. "Nice job!" to Mearls and Ashy on their articles, and to the magazine staff as well. This is a very nice, fun, and useful issue. Revision 3.5 Update, by Ed Stark. Examples of...

    Another sidebar in the latest Dragon

    I will. Soon. Honestly. I've been taking care of a sick daughter (mine, specifically) all day, and been stealing moments here and there to read the issue type things up. However, it's kind of hard to concentrate with Clifford the Titanic Blood-Hued Dire Hound and such on in the background (even...

    Another sidebar in the latest Dragon

    There will be poster map with it as well. It will be the May issue, so it should be out in April. Next month's issue will have a complete novella, "Arms of the Kraken," which is excerpted from the next book in the series, A Feast For Crows.

    [Dragon] First D&D 3.5 Update

    Re: Re: [Dragon] First D&D 3.5 Update Sorry, but a sudden bout of messy but not serious illness with our not-quite-three year old interupted me while I was putting it together. Hopefully I'll get it up this afternoon. (I'm being asked to draw a kitty right now.) Situational would be like the...

    Iron Kingoms Character Primer Review?

    The full rules for firearms will be in the Iron Kingdoms: Campaign Guide, which they want to have out in April, but the date's apparently not set yet. Colonel, I'd be interested in any more information or just your reactions (and anyone elses) to their variations on the bard, druid, and their...

    [Dragon] First D&D 3.5 Update

    My copy just came Friday afternoon, which is around the same time of the month it usually does. I'm usually one of the earlier ones to get it (which is how I fell into doing the summaries). I'm surprised it's at stores already.

    Was there ever a Dragon Annual #6?

    I believe that the "D20 Annual" took its place that year, there haven't been any since then.

    [Dragon] First D&D 3.5 Update

    I'll post this separate from the rest of issue #304's contents, as it might divide up the conversation more efficiently. The general goals of the revision are: 1. Options, not restrictions (stuff from support products and player feedback made part of core rules.) 2. Tools, not just rules. 3...

    Guide to Corvis -- will this ever print?

    Privateer's Editor-In-Chief Joe Martin posted this on their mailing list in response to a question about the Lock & Load series of supplements: "L&L is a line of books planned as "crunchy bits" for lack of a better term. Our dedication foremost is to the IKCG and WARMACHINE, but after that we...

    Best free stuff

    Bombshell studios has some very nice places of interest and monsters, plus some alternate classes, spells, feats, and extras for some of the products they've worked on: http://bombshellstudios.com/d20/ Silverthorne Games has several free races and templates that I quite like...

    PR Revised 101 Mundane Treasures

    Downloaded my update; thanks for making it available. I particularly appreciate that the black & white version wasn't just the color version with white space where the graphics and borders were. However, it's really only the borders that keep me from printing out the color version. I quite like...
