Even though the PHB2 was pirated, WotC claimed that the book sold out of its first printing and they were rushing to meet retailer demand for a second printing. Now that WotC is no longer selling .pdf files -- and therefore, there will be no OEF versions to pirate* -- do you think that sales of...

I found many similarities between H1 and Keep on the Borderlands, which I'm pretty sure were intentional. I've been running it as if it were a conversion of the original B1 module. In this case, Shadowfell Keep is the "original" keep, but it has been destroyed and over-run with the enemy. I'd...

I often hear people say that there are free or readily available virtual gaming spaces online as an alternative to the (currently vaporware) DDI. Over the past 7 years, my cost of living expenses have been rising much faster than my level of income. In addition to this, the spike in energy...

OK -- I'm having trouble understanding multiclass feats. Every time I re-read over them, it seems like this section doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the book. For example, underneath the Class-Specific Feats subheader on page 209, it mentions that taking the Cleric multiclass feat will...

Everyone is going to have their two cents on the books, and outside of being D&D enthusiasts and message board warriors, none of us are exceptionally qualified to have our opinions bear more than a passing glance. And I'm not excluded from this. However, since I've been very critical of WotC...

On my way to my FLGS yesterday morning, I stopped by a local big bookstore. They had the 4e books on the shelf. I asked the manager to double-check the release date on the books -- he did, and seeing the hard release date, went to pull the books off the shelf. Do I qualify as a do-gooder now...

I'm trying to make a list of first edition (and earlier) modules that were updated or somehow expanded upon in 2nd edition (excluding Forgotten Realms). The ones I can think of off the top of my head are: Return to the Tomb of Horrors Return to the Keep on the Borderlands Against the Giants -...

Way back when 3e first came out, there were several conversions of older adventure modules on this site. Basically, they were just 3e updates to monster stats, npc stats, traps/hazzards and treasures. The files didn't include any of the maps, descriptions or flavor text (that I can remember...

I want to share the stories that originally inspired Dungeons & Dragons (see Appendix N: Inspirational and Educational Reading in the 1e AD&D DMG) with my current players. However, they have very busy schedules and not much time to read. Since they are comic book fans, I'm trying to put...

When the SRD was first released, I seem to recall that there were some folks who wanted to format it for a small PDA screen. I've recently picked up a low-end SmartPhone (the MotoQ -- which, while it is in the low-end of the current SmartPhones, is completely new and awesome to me), and I found...

I love Vancian magic. Do you love Vancian magic? I love Vancian magic. Save Vancian magic.

A few months ago (maybe sooner), someone here posted links to the old comic-strip style D&D ads that ran in the back of comic books. I lost the link and can't seem to find it here on the site. I'm also looking for good scans of any AD&D/D&D advertisements. Preferably from the period of the...

I really like some of the new rules in the Star Wars SAGA edition. The new skill system and the damage threshold rule are especially nice. I would like to introduce these into my D&D 3.5 game, but I'm afraid something will "break." The damage threshold system will probably be OK, though I...

I want to make a 32-page book of spells from the d20 SRD. Do you want to help? This is the place to do it. If this thread takes off (and isn't crapped on immediately), it will contain spell edits, ideas, squiggles, and some d20 rule simplifications. And possibly some math that I don't...

I need an interesting, short scenario or adventure that I can run this weekend, preferably a section from an older D&D module (Moldvay/Mentzer edition or Advanced first edition). I'm not averse to branching out toward an OSRIC or C&C adventure, but I would rather stick with one of the classic...

I'd like to hear opinions and reviews of the new OSRIC/AD&D 1e compatible modules and supplements that are being put out. I don't know if this list is exhaustive, but it seems to contain all the new products that I've read about: http://www.lulu.com/browse/search.php?fKeywords=OSRIC I checked...

HackMaster books have shown up with heavy discounts -- $5 each at TitanGames, half-off at many game stores. On the K&C message boards, there is a stickied thread "What you want to see in HM 5th Edition?" http://www.kenzerco.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=18 WotC might be bringing all of their...

New WotC Miniatures Strategy: Randomized miniatures that expire after a month of use? Eric Noah: Exactly how much candy is he made out of? Diaglo creates a character using 4d6, drop the lowest, assigning the numbers to the scores of his choosing? Necromancer Games releases the ultimate...

I've made two reports over the past month regarding off-color (ie, non ENG safe) language in posts. The "offending" words were "bitching" and "pissing." Nothing was done about either post as far as I could tell. However, one was written by a fairly prolific poster, and another was written by a...

I remember hearing rumors about this product. I don't see it on the 2007 release schedule, and I never saw it anywhere. It was meant to be similar to the Player's Kit. Did this get canceled? ALSO... Has the second printing of the 3.5 DMG hit the street yet?
