Only in rare cases - such as visiting a land where precious metals are not valued, do we even bat an eye about currency. Like others have said, we don't have the time to mess with it or the desire.

Garth Nix's Old Kingdom Trilogy (Sabriel/Lirael/Abhorsen)

Wow, how to make a fun game extremely un-fun. Voting players out? Go Home and stop wasting people's time? No smoke/food breaks? If the attitude in these rules is true, I wouldn't touch your gaming group with a 10 foot pole. This makes me sooo glad I game with friends.

The preorder/prepayment plan shows that Monte understands it's a hit to the wallet. Getting the adventure free is a nice touch. One point of worry though, how's that binding going to hold up? That's one thick book!

Monte's fame finally gone to his head? :) That price is insanely high.

In our games (80's - high school) it was all about getting a cool base of operations. I've never cared about the castle/follower aspect of higher level AD&D and other games but for some reason it was the end all be all of our GW games.

I love SA, but then again I love it for the gaming world (of 7th Sea fame). I could give up D&D permenantly for that world if my players were in agreement. I don't know if it would be useful for scavenging for a D&D High Seas type campaign.

For the most part, going the PrC route is a roleplaying choice. I think that most are less powerful than the generic kin that they most closly resemble. The trade off is a focus or flare for one or two situational enhancements. If you are playing in an established world, I think they can be...

Assuming an encounter level is appropriate for the characters, if the party is uncoordinated enough to let someone bleed to death, then they deserve it. There are sooo many options available to parties to help in this situation. Rogues can take ranks in Use Magical Device, people can carry...

OMGosh. We never ran a single 2nd ed adventure! We must have been running Dungeon mag or homemade stuff. Wierd.

Here's my favs, w/ the U1 being tops for entertainment perposes. A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity A2 Secret of the Slavers Stockade A3 Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords G1-2-3 Against the Giants S2 White Plume Mountain S3 Expedition to the Barrier...

One way to speed up the loading of black powder weapons is to carry a bandolier of 'apostles', several (12 traditionally) pre measured loads of powder in little wooden vials or leather bags, attached to the bandolier by cords. Rip them open and pour the measured powder in, saving 1 or 2 rounds...

I think participating in a high level adventure is 'fair warning' enough!

It can get in the way sometimes, but if you are working with a lot of maps, etc it can be helpful. I gave up hiding dice rolls long ago

I have used a 1st Edition module "The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh" again and again as a D&D newbie icebreaker. For some reason, everyone absolutely loves it, including creatively minded women who are not rpg'ers. I think it's the scooby doo nature of the first part, the mansion. I've never...

The OT rattles off various 'ites' quite often, it would be nice to have resources that delved deep into these cultures.

Holding my breath for the Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites pdfs! :)

As White Zombie sang: Nine-teen Sixty - Nine Nine .....yeah!!!

For me, the thing that scares the players most is conspiracy. Or the feeling of conspiracy, at least. Finding tidbits of info that make it feel the characters are being watched or plotted against, perhaps including associates or friends, people they can't simply whack. The thought of other...

d6, mainly.
