    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    I hear you and yes it is annoying to pay twice, however... I still have 33 rpm records. I can't play those anywhere but in my house on my turntable. If I want to listen to the same music in the car I buy the cd or purchase the songs on line, download them and put them on a flash drive or cd...

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    I don't think it's a hijack, it's part of the equation for pdfs. My post just above proves your point's relevance...reference the lack of a back up being done. Thanks, Rich

    What Makes Gaming Books as PDFs Desirable?

    Or once purchased, download it immediately before the IP owner decides you are not allowed to download what you purchased. In fairness, I probably downloaded my copy of the Veiled Society once, but lost it in a hard drive tragedy soon after. Still pissed off at that decision to stop downloads...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Seven Samurai?

    It would be mostly the same as having 7 Fighters. No arcane or divine spellcasters and no rogues makes for a very unbalanced party. The way I would handle this is to send small numbers of mooks [maybe warriors (limited to the same armor/weapons as the samurai)] from the DM guide and try to...

    Spell Schools for D&D Legacy

    I'm fairly certain I have all those mags, but most are in storage. I think I may have photocopies of the articles somewhere in a box in the basement. If you send me your address via pm, I'll see if I can locate them and mail you copies. Thanks, Rich

    Dread Necromancer Spell List

    Where Can I Find Decent Fey Miniatures?

    Try searching on the Reaper Minis site: Reaper Miniatures :: OnlineStore Search by type of fey you want. Faerie and sylph worked when I searched on those just now. Thanks, Rich

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

    Agreeing with Pawsplay and Sammael... 1. Start selling the PDFs again. It really annoys me that I can't download the Veiled Society here after purchasing it. I think I did download one copy, but can't find it anywhere. 2. OGL the rest of the 3.X stuff. 3. DDI the previous editions. That...

    Spell Schools for D&D Legacy

    5. Again in the White Dwarf...there was a Black Priest class. Mostly an evil NPC class that lost heavy armor, but got lots of cool critters as followers at high level.

    Spell Schools for D&D Legacy

    Ok, here is what I remember: 1. The first 3 issues of Different Worlds had Specialty Mages. They had Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, etc. This was for OD&D. These were some of my favorites and probably your best bet for what you are looking for. 2. There was a Necromancer class in one of...

    Games you want to play but haven't

    Mine... 1. FASA's Star Trek the Roleplaying Game. Only ever rolled up some Klingon PCs, never played, but did buy too many of the starship minis. 2. MERP. I did mine the modules for AD&D. 3. GURPS Conan or MGP Conan. 4. Thieves World d20. 5. Dragonquest (SPI/TSR). Played a few sessions, but...

    Ultimate Magus, Arcane Hierophant, or Cerbromancer?

    All the dual casting PrCs are fun to me. I played an AH, but used the UA variant where you dropped wildshape for a wisdom bonus to AC. Wasn't the most powerful build ever. The animal companion/familiar was a horse. My favorite of all time is Duskblade 1/Wizard 5/Ur-Priest 2/Mystic...

    help with gish build

    Too bad UA is not one of the books. I would go with Battle Sorcerer if it was. That said, if the DM was limiting the books allowed to the books he has, the Battle Sorcerer is in the SRD and he would have access to it. Thanks, Rich

    Assassins Evil?

    So true. I bet we could find several old threads here that discuss how the wizard makes a better assassin than the assassin does.

    Problem Player Woes

    You sit down with him. Explain that his play is disrupting the group. Tell him what he needs to change. If he doesn't change, boot him face to face. For the initial meeting and probable eventual boot, do it alone. He may be annoying but you don't need to do any of this in front of others.

    Assassins Evil?

    If I knew that many I'd be saying that too! :-) Thanks.

    Problem Player Woes

    Took guts to boot him, I would have done the deed face to face at the next game session instead of telling his wife.

    Yes, have to spread some xps around first.

    Assassins Evil?

    It could have been that way in the 1970s, but I know people who successfully completed the Q Course in the mid 1980s and none of them would be lumped into "dangerous to themselves or others" psych category. That said, I never took part in any psych evaluation of people for their probable...
