I'm not much of a fan of 3rd edition graphic design. The illustrations are ok, but I don't think they are actually better than the colour plates found in 2nd edition. Additionally, I don't like the video game mood they inspire, specially at character's clothes. Finally, core book covers suck and...

Slightly out of topic. I'm no expert in the Realms, so what exactly has TSR/WotC has published regarding Waterdeep. I recall only an old AD&D (1st edition, I believe) supplement with a Beholder in the cover. I wasn't impressed. Is there anything better?

I can only hope you're right! Never seen the City State of the Invincible Overlord, but I heard it was going to be republished soon with d20 stats.

Devir also publishes WotC and WW's books in Portuguese. Unfortunately, they don't release as many books in Brazil as their Spanish subsidiary. Still, we got all core and splats for 3.0 and the 3.5 PHB was recently released along some stuff for Forgotten Realms and Ravenloft. Additionally, some...

I'm sorry but I can't see WotC publishing a fine product as the one you proposed. Think about tons of crunch and revamped Realms information and then you probably will make a picture of the upcoming Waterdeep book. If you're looking for a good fantasy city book, go after Lankhmar, published for...

If I ever get over my revulsion to that module and the year I lost playing it, I may write a review to help placing the average review grade where it really should be. :]

Trancer Jeremy is right. Because of this, review's rating is usually a more reliable indicator of the voter opinion, as it is less likely that he or she assigned it without reading the product. The problem with reviews is that, for most products, there aren't enough of them to the mean became...

I checked ELH in my FLGS and I thought it quite humorous. I thought it was particularly funny to see DC to stand over clouds among other silliness. It is quite obvious that WotC idea of epic is so far from mine that I would find this book even more useless that the complete useless Deities and...

Although I'm not a WW player (played Vampire once and hated it), I don't have a problem with the quotation. As a matter of fact, I pretty much agree with it. Concerning WW games, I agree with Nisarg that they are not rules light, however, it would be unfair to not recognize that their books are...

Wizards of the Coast. I've seen them and I was far from be impressed.

d20 D&D: Oriental Adventures and Manual of Planes AD&D 2nd Edition: The City of Greyhawk Boxed Set (all time favourite) and Mostrous Arcana: Sea Devils AD&D: The World of Greyhawk Boxed Set and The Dungeon Master Guide OD&D: The Known World Gazetteers series, in special Glantri, Karameikos, and...

Keep them in a dry place, as humidity will destroy your pages, and far from sunlight, which may destroy the pigments in some printing processes.

I agree with that. Much of my reluctance of giving really high levels to the fellowship members is not to spoil the desperate mood they were acting during the book. If you stat Aragorn and Gandalf as epic characters, you took much of the heroism of their deeds as their sacrifices became smaller.

I've a friend that insist that we should roll like that and, although I believe he's saying it more for the fun. I've used in the early 80s with B/X D&D and it worked well. It wasn't good during the AD&D days as the bonuses were restricted to really high scores, but it would work in d20.

I gave a half hearted try about ten years ago but, before page 20, I decided it wasn't worthy of reading it. I've never heard good reviews of it from people that are actually avid readers of fantasy literature.

I usually allow then to roll two sets of six stats by the standard method and choose one. However, points are the best method a DM has to force his view regarding stats. I believe that 28 is about right, 25 would fit a low powered campaign, 32 would be a high powered, whereas 36 I believe is...

You're right, but the silliness of the D&D hit point system is that you don't need an actual strike to loose hit points. A well done dodge in D&D would be represented as a hit point loss. Check the rules.

You're missing the fact that hit points don't only represent actual physical damage. It will sounds stupid (well, I think it is), especially watching it in the movie, but, in D&D terms, Boromir was loosing hit points during the whole encounter (even being not hit by any of the orcs). The arrows...

Currently, only two, as I ditched most of my 3.0 material (just kept the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer) and I only brought the 3.5 Players' Handbook. If, by some miracle, I find some time to play I would probably get a few more.

Yours is not a bad reasoning. However, except for the Balrog confrontation, Gandalf doesn't appears to be able to produce magic in the same rate of a high level D&D wizard. I wonder if the fire ring he uses wouldn't protect him entirely from fire based attacks, denying the Balrog of his best...
