Dead, check out Paizo website, as I believe they have some of the early Living Greyhawk Journals for sale.

I brought the Dragon Archive CD at the time it was released and it was a great disapointment. There were historically interesting things here and there but, in the end, I figured out I don't appreciate Dragon that much. Still, there are some very good pieces: The Voyage of the Princess Ark is...

Usually, my players don't care much about the details. They want just a short description of what their characters know, which is usually limited to their country and a little bit of the recent history. Nevertherless, you have to prepare a little more to be consistent, but I don't take the...

I am currently running a game to a clericless party. It is pretty good, as they have to be much more careful regarding combat and it take days before they tried to fight again. In the end, the game became much more believeable.

1) Flight -- I hate it, as it as low level spell that changes the game from pseudomedieval to superheroic. 2) ESP -- Until d20 (which I don't play), it was a low level spell that denied investigative adventures 3) Raise Dead and similars -- Nuff said. All others such as teleport and several...

Portuguese: Archer - Arqueiro Spell - Feitiço ou Encanto Fireball - Bola de Fogo Mount - Montaria Dwarf - Anão Halfling - Pequenino? (little one) I've to see how the official edition translated it Orc - Orc Armor - Armadura Dungeon - Masmorra (underground prison) or Catacumba (catacomb) Dragon...

Me too, I look forward to see how this will end. I can afford US$250 but I serious doubt this will sell for less than US$1,500.

Chaosium is very conservative regarding rules changes. Although the Call of Cthulhu book is in its 6th edition, it still uses the same edition of the rules, with little changes. Iron Crown definetly missed the spot with RMSS. I hate this version ever more than I love RM1/2, which are not very...

A book with advice about running a game and designing adventures! I wonder if they are finally admiting that the current DMG is rather weak about helping the DM to do his job.

The D&D Rules Cyclopedia No other book is necessary. Ah, regarding core books, I think they will do as a dice rolling plataform.

I don't do minis, but people that do are still fatithful to Warhammer.

Dragon should take advantage of WotC's proprieties, such as Greyhawk, Eberron, and other settings. Additionally, they can try to publish expansion to popular WotC's rulebooks, such as variant to classes introduced in the Complete series or in Frostburn. By doing this Dragon will make itself...

Since December, I've being running a game with the D&D Rules Cyclopedia and it has been a blast. Only one of the players have previous experience with the BXCM D&D rules but I manage to recruit three more to the fandom. Yours sounds to be a lot fun, enjoy it!

Any chance you would be able to revise the nomenclature in the novels to make them consistent with Greyhawk? I hope WotC will not complain if you manage to reprint the first two that were published under TSR' brand neither will ask you to take off the references to Greyhawk, like the latter ones.

One of the funny things about my current campaign is that my players asked to create characters using 3d6 in order. Usually I prefer to allow them to choose any order but this method is really growing on me. Not only it allows flawed heroes but also it incentives the players to make different...

You forgot to cite: RC's standard ability bonuses, short duration rounds (10 s), single weapon damage value, and short description of the planes of existence. It's sad WotC's 3e core books designer team failed to copy RC regarding mass combat, strongholds, dominions, including an overview of a...

Quasqueton, Most of the stuff you ask is already covered by the Rules Cyclopedia. In fact, I believe the RC is more complete than the three 3e core books, as it cover addtional stuff, such as control of the land and mass combats. It is not as close as detailed than the 3e core books, but there...

I am using the skill system, which I like better than 3e -- it is much less detailed but it works at any level, whereas I think d20 DCs are too high too low level characters and too low to high level. I plan to use weapon mastery rules as soon as the players are high level enough to use it. We...

I moved from 3e to the D&D Rules Cyclopedia and I am being very sucessful in convincing players that the RC is the best D&D version ever. It is concise (single volume), has about the degree of detail I enjoy, and it is easy to introduce house rules.

When playing with adults, the DM would make some calls not covered by the rules or in odd with them, as sometimes they are stupid and need to be bended. We don't spend our time in endless debates about the DM ruling because we have more stuff to do. If the DM became too arbritary or his calls...
