    What is the RPG equivalent of "vaporware"?

    There are always products being announced that never make it to press, despite the hype or demand. In the computer industry these products are known as vaporware. Is there an RPG / gaming industry equivalent of this term?

    D&D 4E Seeking campaign world to port to 4E

    I quit playing D&D about four years ago when I moved to a new city, but I'm looking to get back into it with the release of 4th edition. I'm planning to enter the game as a DM yet I don't want to craft my own campaign world unless really pressed. Therefore I am looking for a good pre-made...

    How do you slay a red dragon?

    I’m trying to work up a lair for a mature red dragon that takes into account all the common tricks PCs use to slay dragons, such as feats, spells, and special attacks. The thing is, I’ve never faced a dragon in D&D and I don’t know what all is useful. I’m using a textbook dragon, straight out of...

    If you were a stunman, would you... ?

    If you were a stuntman, would you ever simply walk down stairs or would you always be tumbling or sliding your way down?

    AD&D Solo Modules - what were they named?

    Back in first edition there were at least two (but possibly more) solo modules produced. I am seeking their names and, if possible, any advice on where to find them (even if I need to pay for downloads). All help is very much appreciated. :)

    Has anybody else been checking out WarlordRPG.com since they've been spoiling stuff?

    I haven't seen a lot of talk about the Warlord RPG in ages so I thought I'd ask if folks have been looking at what they've been posting. They've been updating the site on Thursdays and so far it's looking really good to me. I don't know if I'll be buying all four books and if I do I doubt it'll...

    That Warlord game in the banner ad

    I’ve noticed that Warlord has been advertising here with a banner ad. I’ve got a lot of friends that play it weekly and some of them even bring their decks with them to the RPG table. The main combat mechanic is very familiar and it feels very much like the d20 combat system. The guys who bring...

    Seeking monster/adventure websites

    About a year ago I dumped all of my roleplaying bookmarks from Internet Explorer and of course now I need to come scraping around asking folks for links to website that have good d20 monsters and good d20 adventures for use in D&D. Any help would be appreciated. :-)

    What are you doing on Sat., Dec. 13 at 7pm?

    Wrong. You're going to be with me at the Anaheim Hilton (next to the Convention Center) watching the band Warp 11. "When you first see this band onstage in their Starfleet uniforms, you might momentarily think that this is a charade, or maybe even a parody band. But then they launch into the...

    d20 D&D Adventures? - I summon the HiveMind

    Greetings all! I'm summoning the hive mind so that I may generate a list of D&D adventures. I'm looking primarily for store bought adventures as I want to give a few as gifts to a fellow DM and I feel weird about giving PDFs or online content. All that really matters about the adventures is...

    Got Skull & Bones, want pirate websites

    I've been combing Google for good pirate website and they are few and far between. Also, there seems to be exceptionally little available that pertains to both pirates and gaming. Does anybody know of any good pirate sites that will be applicable to gaming?

    I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

    My office got an advance copy. I don't have time to read it now, but thumbing through it I will say that it's interior contents look A LOT like the interior contents of the 3.0 version. The artwork is mostly the same (pictures for gear, races, and iconic characters). The chapters are laid out in...

    Run out and buy 3.5? I think not...

    The WotC catalog for Sept. - Dec. 2003 lists on page 8 the Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set coming out in September. That's the one for me!!! Think about it, I get to act like WotC doesn't control my pocket book by not buying the core books right away (like the rabid fan I want to...

    Farenheit 451 - opinions sought

    I'm in the throes of designing the lair of a fire dragon and I was hoping to have the core den be heated to remarkable temperatures. My question is this, do you think a spell scroll would burn at the same temperature as regular paper? Basically, I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible to have...

    I ain't buying a thing from WotC...

    ... in 2003. Well, at least after having seen their catalogs up through August. *sigh* What did I expect after they fired their creative staff?

    Recurring doppleganger - how do I?

    I'm going to be introducing a doppleganger into my game as a recurring villain and I'm wondering just how to make it be slowly discovered, rather than just dropping it into their laps. Let me explain... There is a small village that is being visited by the ghost of dead twin girl. The ghost...

    A perfect world?

    I'm in the process of getting together all the elements for my next game and it got me thinking of a lot of my past games. This, in turn, got me wondering just how many DMs have ever been so satisfied with what they've got that they've quit monkeying with things. I find that with every single...
