Like others s...

I don't reveal numbers for tasks; I was thinking more along the lines of combat - I keep that transparent for the most part, or they eventually figure it out on their own when they roll one number and h...

I switched to 18 base with +6 from primes thinking it would be easier on my kids. In the end though, they always want to know what they need to roll, so it really ends up making no difference.

I can't stand glossy pages.

How durable are they? Glossy pages in other products always seem very prone to ripping.

Hmph.

I have the same problem - trying to describe some of the weapons to my players (who also happen to be my children) has been difficult at best. A visual reference would have been nice.

I thought the OP was asking about the books that changed us the most or somesuch, so I left out good stuff I encountered later.... Ah, right you are.

<t>Wow, no mention of GRR Martin thus far. Probably my favorite fantasy series - Song of Ice and Fire.<br/> <br/> Fave SciFi - Taken together, Dune, Dune: Messiah and Children of Dune have to be the best science fiction there is. For pure campy fun though, I like reading Poul Anderson (the Flandry a...

Creature Crucible is a document for creating monsters of your own... its a definite CK aid. And, since you have to ask to get it, its free, and available nearly immediately. I'm cool like that.

Right there with you! Only wish I could find more players in my area - I've resorted to teaching my kids to play, wich mixed results.
