<t>Oooh, cool spoiler-ish stuff. Sadly, it will be about 3-4 weeks before I can get around to ordering Upper Works (I decided to order a whole passel of books at once, so I'm going for the published Town Expansion books so far, East Mark Folio and Upper Works). I'm holding off on running my game unt...

<t>::drags himself out of bed long enough to post::<br/> <br/> Thanks all! Got back from DragonCon this morning, so I'm a little travel lagged. Had a little rum and cola party for myself on Sunday to celebrate early. <br/> _________________<br/> Lord Lamorek Steelguard, Baron of Calx Mons Montis - T...

Got my two ordered yesterday as soon as I saw they were available. Saga of the Rat King should be interesting and fun as 1st Edition mods.

<t>Well, looks like I might be able to go to WinterDark this coming year. One of my roommates has an uncle that lives about 80 miles from Little Rock, so he might be able to tell us where to go and so forth. Will know more the closer it is to Con time.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Lamorek Steelg...

Ok, voted.....again.

True, and I fell in love with the 14th Brooklyn's uniform, which was based on the French Chasseur-a-pede from The Crimean War. The 14th was one of the few units that had their distinctive Militia garb issued to...

<t>Colour me strange, but I use Method 5 from AD&D Unearthed Arcana. Even doing this method, I've only seen one natural 18 out of four characters generated this time around. As Treebore said, having great stats doesn't keep you from dying necessarily. When I've had to play a sucky character with...

Definitely something I want to get! Thanks for the tip!

Yes, yes, tease the Federal with the .58 calibre musket and bayonet.

<t>I just don't see the appeal of people getting together to beat the crap out of one another with wooden swords. Now, dressing up in wool and burning black powder shooting at dudes in grey, THAT is fun. <br/> ::sigh::<br/> <br/> I miss it sometimes, especially those times we (the Federals) would ma...

<t>I'm going to be using a combination of Fat Dragon and World Works terrain/interiors. FD is a little more forgiving for us newbs. My main problem is getting the stuff printed up at a decent cost.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Lamorek Steelguard, Baron of Calx Mons Montis - The Castles & Cru...

How about a Fiendish Folio? That and Monsters & Treasures II.

Joyous Natal Day, Jules!

<t>Ever the wet blanket, any word on when Teeth of the Barkash Nour will be available? And I take it Peter's awesome cover showing the party of seven adventurers going down the stairs is one of the covers of the sourcebooks inside The Upper Works boxset? And will the remaining Castle Zagyg modules/b...

<t>I thought only Hobbits were gay? Are there queer folk about like that Bill Ferny and his shifty-eyed Southerner friend? <br/> Sorry, a little Tolkien humour about the ever changing nature of our language. <br/> _________________<br/> Lord Lamorek Steelguard, Baron of Calx Mons Montis - The Castle...

<t>Ive been wanting to get back into Oriental Adventures myself lately. I managed to snag a bundle of d20 Rokugan books on YeBay! for under 1/2 the cover cost. Definitely looking to do a conversion to Castles & Crusades myself. As for the question about the Knight and Paladin as presented, they ...

<t>Definitely I6: Ravenloft. Wiped out half a party of 6 at a Convention several years back when one person pulled a lever and activated the elevator - result: squished Mage (elevator dropped on him IIRC), dead Halfling Thief and Dwarf Fighter from poisonous spiders.......which is funny that the Thi...

<t>I know that poor Eric Gibson is trying to keep WEG alive. They suffered a serious setback when they could not afford to publish Bill Coffin's Septimus (which would basically have been their flagship for the D6 line). Its unfortunate since Eric and Bill are great guys and Septimus was an awesome s...

I want a black shirt that has the Castles & Crusades symbol on the front with Alea Iacta Est on the back.

<t>From what Ive been able to gather from Dustin and others is that Blackmoor, like Greyhawk, is considered WotC's IP. Sadly, Zeitgeist can't simply do as they wish with it or else I gather that a collaboration between TLG and ZGG would be possible. Thats why I think they should get around the IP by...

I recieved this message from Dustin Clingman and I figured I would pass it along. Quote: Hail Blackmoorians, I've received many emails from players and fans in regards to Dave Arneson's Health. Dave is an extremely private person and I've discussed the matter of his health with him in order to be ab...

<t>Uh, sorry but The University of Reading School of Construction Management and Engineering professor Dr. Alan Williams published a finding that showed that a longbow could NOT penetrate plate armour. There has been a reconstruction of the Battle of Agincourt that showed it was not the Archers of H...

<t>Some helpful criticism... <br/> - Drop the HD to d10<br/> <br/> - Dump the Spirit Armor completely, but allow them to wear up to a Mail Shirt (+4 AC) and carry a shield. Allow them to use Hammers. <br/> <br/> - Reduce the 'Times per day' spell use to 1+CHA Mod for the powers.<br/> <br/> - The FIR...
