    Is Ptolus living up to the hype?

    I'm still waiting for my copy of Ptolus. I'm one of those that likes Monty's stuff but not a fanboy (I still just can't get into AU/AE even though I played in it for about a year). He's got some good ideas and some that I find I can't get into. With all that I've heard of Ptolus, I think...

    Does 3/3.5E cause more "rule arguments" than earlier editions?

    I have to say that it has been my experience that there is no signifigant increase in arguements over the rules with the advent of 3.x over any of the previous incarnations of the game. The groups I've gamed with pretty much came to a consensus on the rules we'd use and how we'd use them. For...

    Oh, Happy Day!!!

    Treebore, I'll make sure I do that. You know, like Megamania said, it is like Christmas. Sometimes it can take over 2 months for me to get mail here in Okinawa (that is how long it took to get this stuff) and sometimes it takes only 2 weeks. I guess it depends on what kind of ship they put it on.

    Previews for Dungeon 143 and Dragon 352

    Sweet! I'm glad I decided to get a subscription to both! I'll be interested to see the gamer take on Mieville's novel (I'm currently reading it and liking it so far). As to not getting what one wants in an issue, when am I gonna see some OD&D and 1e articles (*Ducks* JUST KIDDING!!!!!)

    question about Malazan series

    I read Gardens of the Moon immediately after having finished the first 3 books in GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire. I think I really did myself a disservice by having done that. I felt that I would and should like the book while I was reading it but for some reason, I guess I just wasn't ready to...

    Oh, Happy Day!!!

    I finally got my Rappun Athuk Reloaded in the mail today along with 3 OD&D supplements (Greyhawk, Blackmoor, and Eldrich Wizardy), along with about 30 vinatge Roleaids supplements! I can't wait to get home and dig in to the goodness. Now I'm just waiting for Ptolus and my Green Ronin Advanced...

    Core Rules Only

    I like having options, but a core rules only game is perfectly fine by me. When I was younger and played 1e, we only used the PHB, DMG, and MM and did so for years (because that was all we had access to and knew about at the time). If the DM and group are good then it really shouldn't matter.

    Hrm, apparently still no love for those of us in Okinawa. Hopefully this is not a permanent thing!

    [September] What are you playing?

    Bard's Tale, now there's a classic that I should go back and finish as well, along with the Wizardry series. I'm currently going back through Might and Magic 6. Good Stuff.

    Silmarillion - worth reading?

    I am a big fan of fantasy literature, history, archaology, mythology, anthropology and several other ologies I suppose. I guess for those reasons I found Silmarillion even morefascinating than the Lord of the Rings itself. I really enjoy all of the behind the scenes stuff and how things came...

    New Elven Favoured Class?

    I voted Thug because I'm ready for a paradigm shift in the role of elves in fantasy. :)

    Iron Man Suit Rejects

    I thought they looked pretty good for a movie adaptation of the comic.

    I voted over the Internet because where I'm at, there is no FLGS :( .

    Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

    I'll have to try later when I get home. If not, I'll try the proxy server trick. I hope one of them works! I miss my enworld at home!

    I'm Running 1e!!!

    Sounds like a lot of fun! My 1e games were always pretty fun. I wish I could scrape together a group to play. :( Oh well, perhaps someday! Keep us posted on how it goes!
