I'm not entirely sure. The first couple of game I played were at a friend's house around '84. We were given character sheets, and my friend's older brother DMed, and I really don't recall seeing any of the books he used. It could have been OD&D, Holmes, Moldvay, Mentzer or 1e. I soon after...

Return of the Pillow Fight Sorority Girls From Hell! Unfortunately, no links. I too am at work, and I work for The Man. And when The Man is the government, he doesn't cotton to that kind of stuff on his computers. So instead I spend the slow days on EnWorld, and other game sites (but not...

As much fun as Munchkin, Bang! and others sound, they will all have to step aside for the return of the ever-glorious Crossbows and Catapults (now called Battleground: Crossbows and Catapults for some inexplicable reason)! Actually, a pillow fight sounds pretty good too. Although maybe just...

Ha! That was exactly what I was going to post, Charwoman! I have to agree with the sentiment in the OP though, it stinks knowing there is a giant pool of awesome out there, and all the cool kids are swimming in it, but I gotta stay home and mow the lawn.

Here is a pretty good little kit for converting D&D into a more S&S type game: www.swordandsorcery.org/toolkit.htm I like most of what he has, my own little adjustment would be to remove the sorceror entirely and add in Incantations from UA.

Awesome ideas Kid Charlemagne. I also love the idea of incantations, and had thought of using them for a more sword & sorcery type game (removing all other magic systems). It would be cool if there was a document with incantations that can approximate the results of certain spell-types...

Was just checking Spawn.com's forums (having never been there before) to check if there was any info on further dragons. There is series 8 coming up, but there was more, well, here's their words: Dragons Series 8 (due in stores January 2008) The last line in the popular McFarlane Dragons...

Wow. This is terrible news. My sincere condolences to his friends and family. Like many here, I suspect I first discovered his work in Deities and Demigods. When I first paged through the book, I immediately flipped back to the credits to see who did those great Greek and Norse gods. I have...

Just to add my voice to the chorus: Thanks a million Paizo! It is sad knowing this is the last print Dragon coming down the pike, but my anger and sadness have been mitigated knowing Pathfinder is coming, and seeing the already great work on GameMastery has been reassuring. You guys are the...

Oh, and DMJeff, I really like the "Jeezis Grandpa" term for this. There was no need to explain it, caught the reference right away, it was perfectly apt. I'll have to adopt that one.

It isn't really suggestive in any way. The kid is tied up like any prisoner in a D&D image, except there is a ball-gag in his mouth. If you have someone who hasn't seen Pulp Fiction around, or hasn't otherwise been exposed to bondage paraphernalia, it isn't offensive at all. The rest of the...

Just for the record, I want to make clear that I like the bulk of the adventure, and am a big fan of Nick Logue's. Those two little caveats above just kinda stood out for me. I'd also like to plug D0 - Hollow's Last Hope. This Free RPG Day gem is fantastic. I downloaded it from the Paizo...

I really liked the adventure too, but with a few reservations. First, I just didn't care for most of the art. It certainly wasn't terrible or anything, it just didn't float my boat. There was one piece I really disliked though. The image of the undead dwarf with the kidnapped kid. I like...

Oops, put the quotation marks in the wrong spot. Although that reading does do a more accurate job of describing what he wrote.

Found it: "Satanism: The Seduction of America's Youth by Bob Larson." I was way off on the publisher though. May have been put out by a different press at some point, or perhaps I am just thinking of another book entirely.

I'm pretty sure that tract is older than its posting. In fact I think I read that verbatim at least 12 years ago as the preface to a book my high-school girlfriend's dad owned. I am fairly certain because I distinctly remember that the author did not know there is a distinction between player...

I think I have to agree with the Basic box set, but recommend the black dragon version over the blue. If this is truly a game for newbs, and possibly an intro/one shot, I think this is ideal. The game has pre-gens that are pretty decently layed out for the uninitiated, but there are also...
