It didn't happen to be Columbus, did it? I have an absolutely miserable business trip there every summer, and a good comic shop stop would give me something to which to look forward. Not that Columbus is much of a vacation destination, so I'm guessing not! I've never seen that book, though a google...

I was thinking about how I can make it different, without making it too different, if you know what I mean. Like for example, the awesome 2E adventure Labyrinth of Madness . Fantastic adventure! It had a cool concept. Certain rooms or areas of rooms simply do not exist unless and until you get magi...

Other things they changed at first that didn't sit well with me included the politically correct edits: no more half-orc as a player race; Yeah, that was a mistake to ever remove those. no more assassin or illusionist as character classes; Assassin I could see being removed. To me, an assassin is m...

Complete Illusionist Handbook is pissing me off to the point where I just want to forget it. Three development teams and no progress. It seems to be a doomed project unless and until someone with the drive to really take over it steps up. I just can't devote any time to it. Illusions are a tricky t...

Another sign it is going to be a good group,...they want more lifelike detail about something. In this instance it is herbs and their healing properties. Time to research. Heh. I have an herbalist in my current group too! Small worlds. If you get a chance, do a Google search on Shaun Hately's.....a...

First off, I love that sig you use. Don't want to thread jack but I have seen so many things recently that make me realize how much I under appreciated Gary Gygax. Not the work, the man. I love that quote too. It speaks volumes. Do you get the print or the PDF version? Both. I have heard a lot of g...

An even kewler idea would be a room with four projectors, one for each wall. You could put up an image of what the whole area looks like, with the players actually sitting at the table within the scene. Cost prohibitive, and frankly, it'd be a major pain in the ass to set up and coordinate. It's ha...

What would I like to see and work on? Does everyone know what Pathfinder by Paizo Publishing is? I've seen it, yes. Hell, I'm subscribed to it. The reason I'm subscribed to it is for the adventures. Yeah, they're printed under the d20 ruleset, but when it all comes down to it, the heart and meat of...

Not that I'm one to endorse any 3e product, but I have to endorse this one. The Grand History of the Realms book. If you've ever wanted to know about the history of the Realms before the ToT (:lol:), this book is for you. It's one of the exceedingly rare tomes that doesn't contain a lot of 3e techno...

I just wanted to comment on Halaster's thoughts regarding how 4e is becoming more and more disconnected from the tabletop in relation to its Digital Initiative movement. I just watched this video, and I think it exemplifies pretty well the overall direction WotC is wanting to take the game. That bei...

Admittedly, I've mellowed my stance towards 3e the past few years mainly because forehead vein-popping rants don't do any good, and are often ignored anyway, so why get one's blood pressure up over something you can do nothing about? Except there is something we can do about it, and it's called BIP ...

Now a general mage (let's say an NPC under DM control) is going to be really savvy about the differences between illusion magic and other schools of magic. I think in a case like this, especially if the mage may be an antagonist, the illusionist is better off obscuring his true nature if at all pos...

Good ideas Brickman. I also like requiring the player to keep track of everything they've experienced that they want to remember accurate details regarding, so that when they go about creating illusions of things, both they and I will know whether the character has seen it before. IOW, it's a lot ea...

I wouldn't mind the projector set up, although it seems really technical to me, and hard to move around (say if you're gaming at someone else's house). I can't deny that. Heh. Varl, how much work is involved, and how much cash outlay for something like that? Well, the physical work involved is mini...
