    so how have your gaming groups taken to 3.5?

    We have been slowly converting as the news of the new edition has leaked out. Next week is the week we totally convert and it should be pretty easy. I have to change some of the spells in the game since they still do not have saving throws. IMHO all spells which affect another person should...

    AU - first impressions?

    I have been using AU in my Forgotten Realms game for several months now (I was a playtester and had access to a pre release version). I have used the classes in FR without any problems and some of the feats have been also added. The spell system is cool but is just not in the style my group...

    [Epic] Insight from my first Epic DM Experience

    I've been running a high level campaign for quite a while now and my fix for Disjunction is to have the effects last for 1 day per caster level. This way the spell is used, it is still effective and yet part of the bite is taken out. I also don't have any spells that affect a target...

    [Rave] Happy with 3.5e core rulebooks.

    Just make an amendment to the combat rules that anyone with a readied missile weapon (drawn or cocked) can release a single shot at the beginning of combat. Heck give them a bonus to Initiative equal to thier BAB to determine which archer fires first.

    3.0 or 3.5 at GenCon???

    All of the pickup games I'm running will be 3.5, not that it should change your mind. I like many of the changes and I'm psyched to get things rolling with the new system.

    My Retailer was Nerfed!

    My wife's store is missing just one case of PHB's but got a case of DMGs in response. It all goes on sale at Midnight :)

    [3.5] TALON: What are you guys going to do?

    I totally agree with this. Our local store will be recieving the books later today but is not selling them until Midnight Friday (sort of like an album release). It was nice to see the distributor trust our store that much, since they never break a street date from what I have seen. Also it...

    Arcana Unearthed or 3.5 PH???

    Since I playtested AU I have to say that it seems a bit cooler than 3.5. I am currently building alternate Champion and Totem Warrior classes. Either way I'll get both books, but I have to say that lots of AU will make it into my campaign :)

    [GenCon]Against the Giants D20 Open Pickup Game!

    Re: Re: Against the giants Die. Die? Ha ha ha ha Last year Leo couldn't even touch us. Hopefully the giants got an upgrade (Leopold, let me know if you want any help beefing up the giants). Oh is this going to be 3.0 or 3.5? Either way is cool with me :)

    3.5 SRD Files?

    I think Andy mentioned that it should be in by August. Of course, I could be wrong.

    3.5 SRD Files?

    Andy Smith said on the PCGen list that the SRD would be updated on the 24th, which is more than reasonable since the "official" street date is the 18th.

    Does anyone know if any companies are doing special offers at GenCon?

    The Wizard's Tower (we are sharing a booth with Code Monkey Publishing and will be across from Twin Rose Publishing, I think) will be offering a deal on 3.5 books. I don't know the specifics yet but check out our booth first :)

    Do you allow feats/PrCs from Dragon or non WotC products

    I use more non-WotC products than WotC products. Pretty much anything is allowed, but I tend to check on it and of course, I reserve the right to change anything that I feel is unbalanced. Some of the stuff from Mongoose Publishing is somewhat overpowered, but I place an additional cost (in...

    [GenCon]Against the Giants D20 Open Pickup Game!

    Well I guess our plan to have you "removed" as a moderator will have to be advanced a bit. I say skip that "secret meeting" and hang with us "real" people for once :)

    Anyone else not have their GenCon badge?

    If Will Call was default, I guess I'm waiting in line :( That's a bummer since I have no need for tickets (it's all pickup games baby!!!)

    [Poll] Who DOESN'T use minis?

    I don't use miniatures much as some combat is easier without them. Othertimes, I grab a nice piece of terrain off of the walls at the store on run it on that. No squares, just a tape measure and our eyesight.

    What's your opinion of GURPS?

    I like GURPS but finding players is kind of hard. Many people in my gaming circles have had bad experiences with it. For quite a while I ran a Forgotten Realms "D&D" game using GURPS. There were a handful of house rules, but it went pretty well. I like the system for its role play ability...
