Finished The Two Swords by Salvatore over the holidays, and I am currently working on The Ecology of Commerce by Paul Hawken. Waiting on the bookshelf: Fences and Windows by Naomi Klein (follow up to No Logo) and The Corporation by Joel Bakan. And then, I think I will finish off LOTR...

Can you give me an idea of what the MiniMac would not be able to do? I have never used a Mac in my life, but I have been thinking about buying one for the last several months. I was thinking about the iMac, but have been choking on the price. When I saw the miniMac, I thought that it might...

Eric, If you are looking at 1-2 cups a day, I would suggest you get a french press and a bean grinder and forget about a drip coffee maker. Then you can buy whole beans (which keep fresh much longer than ground coffee) and just grind enough each time you want a cup. A small Braun coffee...

four books (non-fiction) a huge bottle of mixed nuts an umbrella (mine broke last week) Star Wars Trilogy a little bit of Purdy's sugarless chocolate (tastes great) three bottles of single malt scotch whisky a quiet day with wife (yay!) Merry Xmas everyone.

Another one using a character's name. Of course, I stole the name from Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos novels for my character.

Erik, I am astonished that you are willing to put so many changes into effect so quickly. I tip my hat to you. I am looking forward to reading the upcoming issues, and if the changes are as good as they sound, I will keep my subscription alive. Good work.

My original post is a bunch of pages back, but I wanted to respond to Erik's post about fiction. I don't mind reading the fiction in Dragon, frankly with some issues, it is a way to get away from the articles that I don't like. However, sticking to WOTC-themed fiction will be another nail...

Well Erik, right now I am a subscriber of Dragon, but I really doubt I will be renewing my subscription, so I figure I qualify to post here. The oldest Dragon on my book shelf is around #58, and I have almost every magazine up to issue #200. I stopped buying when my gaming dropped off and I...

Bobacus, I just wanted to say thanks for the sketch! I really like it. I will write up a much more detailed description and scene to e-mail to you for a platinum piece...probably when I have a bit more time, during my Xmas vacation. Cheers, Greymist

Don't level the PCs mid-combat. Too hard to justify it in game terms. As for tactics, if I was playing, I would have Fiddle charge into melee, Darian should ready a spell (to go off when he can see the beholder), and Alya should move around the lake and shoot at the beholder. The rest of...

I have one large Crown Royal bag and three small bags. If anyone has a bottle of Crown gathering dust in the cupboard, feel free to send them my way!

Bobacus, your work is great! I will contact you by e-mail to discuss a platinum piece, in the meantime, perhaps you can prepare a pencil sketch for me. Alpine Greymist, male high elf, fighter/magicuser/thief (yes from 1E and 2E) 5'10", 160 pounds, long straight black hair, a thin scar...

Fantasy: Frodo Baggins, FitzChivalry Farseer, Vlad Taltos, Hanse Shadowspawn, Silk (Belgariad), Grey Mouser, Edmund Blackadder (series II especially) Sci-Fi: Han Solo, Arnold Rimmer, Spock

$25 US on its way...once I figure out how to get a draft ordered from my on-line virtual bank!

I think the system is great! I am running a low magic campaign and I was planning on intorducing the first masterwork/magic weapons in our next session. I think I am going to use your system and see how it works.

I would think of these more like multi-class than prestige classes.

How I knew where every rule was in the DMG or the PHB or UA, regardless of the chaotic layouts. How the rule books didn't sound like technical manuals. How an NPC's stats could be summarised in a couple of lines. How a single battle wouldn't take two hours in real time. How you had to...

Worst Beer Coors Light Blech!

I'm in Vancouver, BC. Favourite historic moment is tough: Vimy Ridge, Juno Beach, repatriation of the Constitution, not going to Iraq. Wasn't there an article on WOTC's site converting everything to metric?

Kalendraf hit the nail on the head. The most important thing you should do before deciding what games to carry, what location to rent, what distributors to use...is to find out if there is any demand for a games store! Market research is your friend! Find the gamers in your town and...
