I think thats what Skill Challenges are. Shane

I've been lucky enough to have a very helpful, friendly game shop that I have been a customer of for about seventeen years or so now. They have never been local, but they mail order. The service is great, the staff are firendly, and I can count on an e-mail when soemhting I would be interested...

Hi folks, Thanks for the kind words. I wasn't sure how this would be received. It is a re-wording of a genuine religious publication by the estemed Jack Chick, a rather opinionated man. The original, Dark Dungeons, spoke out against the evils of D&D. You can find it here. Edit: Removed...

For your (possible) amusement: I'm sure someone esle can do better... Regards, Shane

Hi folks, Is it just me, or is this a nasty ability: "Fiery Blades (minor, usable only while bloodied; at-will) * Fire Until the start of the angel of valor’s next turn, the angel of valor’s weapons deal fire damage and attack the target’s Reflex defense instead of AC." Looking at the...

Hi folks, I'm moving to the Catterick area of North Yorkshire in June, and I'll be looking for a gorup. I play or GM - not worried so long as I can get a gaming fix. I'm open for weekly, fortnightly or monthly games (weekly is better, obviously). Anyone out there know of groups, clubs or...

If I go 4e I'll get a second copy. I like having one for me and one for my players. Of course, if they enjoy the game I'll encourage them to buy thier own to support thier local game store. The spare also comes in handy to lend to new players to read. Regards, Shane

You left off "Working in a crappy bit of desert just outside Basra". To be fair, and ObD&D, I'm also working on a D&D 4e world (starts normal then slowly becomes PoL when the PCs release ultimate evil in thier first adventure) and prepping some one-on-one Earthdawn for the wife. But mostly...

Hi Colin, Yesterday I made the acquaintance of a US Combat Photographer who is down here at the Brit base in Basra. From chatting to him, about half his Baghdad-based unit are D&D players, so they could be good people to get in touch with when you get there if you want to get an in on the...

Steve, That I can do! I know one of the presenters for British forces radio here in Iraq, so if/when you want a radio announcement to the British forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan I can probably jack that up. Likewise I can throw somehting out through the base welfare office to get the word...

Hey Steve, I'm currently in Basra at the COB with the UK Med GP Hospital. I should still be in theatre for D&D Games Day (either here or at the Camp Beurhing in Kuwait) unless I get rotated back early and I'm up for running something. I dunno how many gamers I can find here at the COB, but I...

EDIT - Bleah! Must read all of the thread before posting. Nothing to see here - move along. Regards, Shane

Ah, I must have missed them. Thanks. Personally, I'm of the opinion that it would be nice to get a definitive answer - no matter if its what we want to hear or not - just so folks can start moving forward. Shane

Another concept for the Divine Stirker could be an assassin in the old hashahsin(sp?) sense of the word. Shane

(emphasis mine) So could it be said that Open Gaming helps promote the "First Edition Feel" in D&D as much as the style of the adventures themselves? When third parties operate under looser restrictions they can tread the same ground the old greats did back in the day. Anyhow, my main reaosn...

Hehehehe. You, sir, are made of win. And by the by, there are elements of WoW in 4e, just like there were elements of 3e in WoW. The nature of the beast is that Fantasy MMORPGs and TTRPGs are similar enough that there will be cross-over. Shane

Its a complete adventure, cut-down rules and pre-gens (36 pages and very nicely put together), kind of like a White Wolf preview booklet. I know charging for a quickstart is unusual, but then WW and the big dogs have the money to spend on a print run they won't gat a return on - small companies...
