When they announced the new magic item rarity rules, I was very glad. I've always thought that magic items are one of 4E's weak points. Most of the items are boring as hell. But this holy avenger is exactly the same as in the PHB. With the exception of the name (which makes me think of the holy...

Congrats to Paizo! Even though I play 4E, I love the gang at Paizo. I also really appreciate their products, having purchased the bestiary and classic monsters revisited. Their books are packed with great ideas, and they are very readable. I seldom read my 4E MM1, but very often leaf through the...

Huge uncommons are very tricky. When I put together the list, it was tricky to find proper huge uncommon minis. It would be easy to say "Huge water elemental", but there are no huge elementals in 4E, and I want this set to be "realistic" in the sense that it could maybe one day be released (as...

I really, really hope there will be another set in 2011. If I ever acheive complete telepathic control over the Hasbro / WoTC-suits and Peter Lee, this is that my dream set would look like (size- and rarity-distribution being the same as LoM): HORDES OF THE ABYSS COMMON 8 Berserker prelate...

Please give som examples of rare magic items, both specific names and abilities. Do you think players will react with an "oh, a rare magic item, AWESOME" when they receive such items (based on power-level), or will they more likely go "meh". Are they special, beyond the slapped-on rare label?

What I want from DM-books, is inspiration. Although the choice of which book is the best will depend partly on the individual DM's preferences, I can say which ones I liked and which ones that didn't inspire me. Let's start with the dull and pedestrian. The adventurer's vault was incredibly...

I live in Stavanger, Norway. We only have a single FLGS in town, and RPGs are a very small part of the store's business. I can definately understand why. Ordering the pathfinder core rulebook from Amazon, cost me about 190 kroners (31$). In the store, it would have cost me 499 kroners (80$). I...

Auggies sold preorders of the elder blue dragon and the heroslayer hydra at 40$ bucks each. The other very rares were much more affordable (both archfiends under 10$), and rares and uncommons in general were cheap. Oh how I hate VR-rarity. I really wanted both elder blue and the heroslayer, but...

You shouldn't hesitate to promote yourself in this thread, it's only nice for potential customers to know of alternative sellers. When Lords of Madness is released, I'm going to check your site to compare prices. You might get some extra business around 21. september.

It would be cool if Paizo did a magic item book, a tome of 320-pages filled with fabulous and strange items, every item illustrated. That would rock!

They usually have an invoice, but very often (almost always), even though I order for 100 bucks, it reads "total value: 10$".

I haven't been able to find a UK-based store with reasonably priced mini singles. Living in Norway, I order all my singles from the US, most often Troll & Toad. Paizo's prizes are so high that my head explodes; away them with it comes to minis. Auggies is the prefered place to get minis for most...

Peter, from my DM-perspective, I would like the following: * Molydeus (awesome demon that people of earlier editions can like as well, just appeared in MM3) * New lich (important "core" monster, not done since GoL, vecna bellydancer from Dangerous Delves doesn't count) * Female hill giant /...

Thanks ;)

Heroslayer hydra, bebilith, will-o-the-wisp, brain in a jar, nalfeshnee, Mephistopheles, mind flayer noble, dragonborn elementalist, thri-kreen warrior, elder blue dragon... DROOL :p

Looking at the pictures from the DSCG previews, I feared that this was the case. The pictures were remarkably dull and generic 4E, standard "heroes battle monsters and kick ass". I liked the picture of the desert and the stone face, that was at least slightly "other-worldly". The previews from...

I run 4E, it is my system of choice for heroic fantasy, but there are some issues with it that really bothers me. Bland magic items and the taxing parcel treasure idea, are two of my major peeves. The fact that 4E books also tend to be a bit generic and boring (or at least dry) to read, is...

Although nice to know its alignment, CR and creature type (strange, I thought it would be fey as well, doesn't it come from the First World in PF?), this information is really sparse. What about motivations and creature "hooks"? I read that it is supposed to be especially vulnerable to vorpal...

Inspired by this cover to a new Pathfinder book, as well as the classic illustration by John Tenniel, I started thinking about the jabberwock in my campaign world. (Although I play 4E, I hope this brainstorming-session can be useful to people who play other editions as well.) I have always loved...
