    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    Foxit is free, and I think it does most of that stuff. Definitely does forms. I hope some excellent cross-platform format catches on, but it's going to have to have both a high penetration amongst consumers, and ease of implementation for publishers, to do so. Some way to auto-convert other...

    End a community supporter subscription.

    I believe you have to end it through PayPal. I had a problem where I somehow got doubly subscribed, and IIRC, Morrus had me cancel via PayPal. (Then I renewed through ENWorld when it finally ran out.)

    Players in a military order

    Yeah, usually, the superiors would give orders to go do something ("here's your mission"), and then the PCs (along with any NPC grunts) would go do it, as they saw fit (and often with some plot twist that made specific orders irrelevant). Usually, some PC was the unit leader (and rarely did a...

    How Close is D&D Encounters to you?

    I don't actually know; the nearest place would be about a half-hour away (23.2 miles, per Google). But I don't know if they're running Encounters; I'll have to ask next time I'm there.

    jann, janni, djinn, djinni, aaaigh!

    Probably for the same reason you can encounter multiple minotaurs, medusas, hydras, and other mythological creatures that were one-of-a-kind in the sources, and you can summon angels and djinnis to help your group -- made up of a warrior in late middle ages full plate, a pseudo-Celtic druid, a...

    Players in a military order

    Have you told the objecting players up-front that the military is only a starting condition, and that the order will shortly cease to be a factor? I've ran or played (mostly played) many campaigns where the PCs were in the military. They weren't D&D games, though; they were mostly GURPS...

    D&D Monster Manuals 2 +

    There is no 3.0 version of MM 3, 4, or 5; they were all produced under the 3.5e rules only. Similarly, there is no 3.5e version per se of MM 2 or Fiend Folio; they were 3.0 books (well, FF was kind of halfway -- it was 3.0, but 3.5 aware); there are updates to the 3.0 stats, bringing them in...

    D&D Monster Manuals 2 +

    Wizards put out a 3.5e update booklet & PDF that updated skills, DR, and other abilities for the 3.0 monster books (with the exception of the first MM, for which they did a 3.5e version). The PDF is still available at WotC's website, here.

    When the next OotS strip will be up? :D

    Oots 0736

    Okay, I shouldn't have read this one at work. Even the title made me laugh.

    EUREKA #2: A New World/Season IV/2010

    Did Zoe say she wanted to be an MD? I think there was a multi-part plan (like MD + PhD in something), but I'm pretty sure she was going to Harvard for the medical school. So far, I like this reboot, though I'm hoping that they don't just forget that they're from another timeline -- I hope Henry...

    Winter is coming...

    I'm not going to bother being excited (much) about the next book of any series until I've actually got it to read. Ghost Story, A Dance with Dragons, Tongue of Serpents (it's out, but I don't have it), Republic of Thieves, whatever. Similarly, I'm trying not to get too excited about the TV show...

    12 year old girls love, 20+ year old people hate

    "Live and Let Die" and "Band on the Run". :p Note that I am not a big Wings fan -- I have never owned an album, though I'm sure someone in my family did when I was a kid. If you had asked me to name three songs, I'd have to go to Google.

    D&D 3.x 3.5- Multiple shots with a bow?

    I suspect they're using the rule from AD&D, where bows got a rate of fire of 2.

    Winter is coming...

    They're casting more roles, still. It's going to be odd seeing the Tommy Carcetti as Peter Baelish. The mayor of Baltimore is Littlefinger?

    HBO to air A Song of Ice and Fire TV Series

    It was mentioned in the Media Lounge; specifically, here.

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    FWIW, I'm not tied to PDF per se; any electronic format would be fine. As long as it's DRM-free, that is; I'm not too interested in paying money for files I can't use if the folks who sold them to me can't stay in business.

    Can a cleric use Create Undead usefully?

    Not if they want to remain good clerics, anyways. :)

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    If WotC came to Salinas and stood outside my house, wearing trenchcoats and holding boom boxes over their heads, while they play Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes", I would immediately go buy stuff from them. After the video was uploaded to YouTube, that is. Sure, they could do other things - PDFs...

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    With a tiny thumb drive and a laptop/netbook/tablet, I can carry an entire game line with me without breaking my back. If there's a computer wherever I'm going, I can even skip the laptop/etc., and just bring a couple of ounces of flash memory. Way easier than trying to bring 4 or 5 hardback...
