I have to say, in defense of the new format, that I liked it better than FR or Eberron. There's a lot of repeat information between a DM's guide and a Player's guide, or things just flat out missing from one (like Abeir in the player's guide), none of which is a problem here. I would have of...

I've been buying books for over a decade, own almost every rulebook WotC has published, and I've gamed about a half dozen times. I just love the rules. The game is fun, but it seems that when it just gets right down to it, I like thinking about it more than doing it. Could be that I have a...

I like rules. If you want less rules, go play Requiem. If you want more rules, go play Rifts. D&D is just right. I play D&D for the rules. I buy new suppliments for the rules. More rules presents the opportunity for more neat ways to use them. The suppliments I like best are the ones that...

only watch starship troopers if you must. personally, I would burn it before watching it, and make sure the remains don't contaminate the rest of your garbage. If you are going to watch it, read the book first. No other novel has had a greater impact on my life, and no other movie adaptation...

I wanted to give it to the Kargat, because I love Ravenloft, as well as the Emerald Claw, because it's a very complex and interesting organization with levels of deception, but I have to hand it to the Red Wizards: they've become classic fantasy evil.

And Tolkien has <i>nothing</i> to do with that. Elves are a dying race in practically every campaign. It's probably my biggest gripe with FR and SL, in both of them you're pretty much just playing the typical elf from Tolkien. And while the Silmarillion may be one of the best books ever...

I have as well. I like the idea of evil being what you do, not how you necessarily think of yourself. I recently started an eberron game, and strictly forbade evil PCs. That left me with a lawful good paladin and a whole bunch of morally neutral people around him. Still, I'd rather they do...

Sharn is an excellent sourcebook. And not just for Eberron. What's great about Sharn is the crunch isn't your standard feat-prestige-spell-monster variety, that section of the book is minimal. Keith Baker has earned my undying respect for his work on both this book and the dragonshards for...

Other than that I use MSNExplorer, I still put google as my homepage for Internet Explorer. It used to be that I read ENWorld religiously every day, multiple times a day, and this was always the first page I visited, een before email, whenever I sat down to a computer. But ever since the rant...

Sigh...nobody here likes Ravenloft. No other publisher gives better support to their settings than Arthaus. And I'm not talking about Heroes of Light (shudder) but the Gazeteers, which are the best fluff-centered products I have ever read, save perhaps for the second edition Van Richten...

d6 for the action points. Eberron is a whole other world :)

Wow, I hadn't even realized this thread had posted. I intended to put a poll with it, but apparently the site didn't like me (it really hasn't since I bought membership, oddly enough). But to digress... I completely agree that we don't need more rules, which is apparently the in thing to...

Everybody talks about WotC products, they're undoubtedly the most talked about publisher online, and probably at this site as well. A lot of people like their stuff, a whole lot of people complain about their stuff, and some people outright boycott them. So I was wondering how many people...

While I've not really read the third party publishers, I have to say I liked most of the WotC books. MotW just had a whole lot of neat ideas. Menehirs, infusions, generally good prestige classes, awesome spells (I vastly prefer the regenerate path to the cure path for Druids, gives them their...

Adventurer is just as anonymous as expert. All of the classes are experts at something (despite the bard's catchphrase of "jack of all trades"). When most people think of adventures in the modern sense, it's more along the lines of the rogue or the bard. Think of Bilbo Baggins, the Burglar...

Not everyone likes the planetouched running around. In Eberron, they don't quite fit the setting. But besides that, Eberron doesn't need planetouched, although they could, I suppose, exist, they just aren't integral, as they are starting to be in the FR. Eberron has four new races, two of...

I would like to say Lawful Neutral, and in the game, I go for that, but that's playing a character and working in the game mechanic, the way things work in a fairy tale land where you can seperate the good from the bad with a paltry first level spell (praise to Monte Cooke and Ravenloft for...

right, that was my thought, so I figured it would be allright to let her do it. The idea of persecution works quite nicely actually, and while I realize the whole point of the shifter is being able to be a werebeast without the hassle, the players are starting out at fourth level anyway. It...

This was posted on the "ask Keith Baker questions" thread, but that one seems to have been dismantled, and no other thread seems quite the right place to put it, so I'll ask again here: I have a player who wants to play a lycanthrope. This is of course still permissable under "the same, but...

So, I have a player who wants to play a lycanthrope. This is of course still permissable under "the same, but different" concept, but the background makes it really hard for werebeasts to move around, what with the Church of the Silver Flame killing every lycanthrope they can get there hands...
