<t>I chime in here. I could do without the book reviews, but I like the game reviews, particularly since they are limited to games that Jim actually likes. My wife and a lof of my friends like games, but not RPGs, so I find it interesting to hear about board games, card games, etc. that are worth ch...

<t>I just picked up a Wii for my wife for her birthday. Can anyone recommend good Wii games for couples? She particularly likes puzzle games or games kind of like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (which was a PS2 game).<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Baron of the Pitt<br/> Castles &am...

Hmm... looks like the price goes up to $15 after today. Right now, it's $10 with free shipping.

I'm not that familiar with Woot. Is this a limited time thing?

<t>Just received the copy in the mail. I'm eager to dig into it. It arrived in good shape (shrink-wrapped) and fairly quickly (it was sent media mail), so if someone is considering it, seems safe to buy from that place.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Baron of the Pitt<br/> Castles...

<t>I actually kind of dig Valentine's Day. It's an excuse to hand out some goodies and a little romance with the wife.<br/> <br/> I got a nice bath robe, a laptop fan, and an eBay card (that last being my favorite... time for some gaming goods!).<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Bar...

Was there a new show? I thought the new season started this Friday?

<t>So, what was chosen? I will say that Omote has a good point about Bard's Gate. It can really serve as a pretty nice campaign setting, with gods, surrounding areas to adventure, etc.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Baron of the Pitt<br/> Castles & Crusades Society<br/> The Du...

<t>Folks on this board seem to really like the old Rule Cyclopedia. Having never played much basic D&D, I'm curious as to why. Do you use in conjunction with C&C?<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Baron of the Pitt<br/> Castles & Crusades Society<br/> The Dungeoneering Da...

<r>I don't really know what the differences are. I only own the 2e one. The most I can find is in threads like this that say the 1e got the "feel" better.<br/> <URL url="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/96006-lankhmar.html"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rp ...

Given what you had in mind, I voted for CSIO. Bard's Gate is great and I'm using it now myself, but it's more of a safe-haven for adventurers. I have Yggsburgh too, which I love, but it has same kind of feel. Both certainly have their seedy underbellies, but given what you're going for CSIO seems mo...

<t>What are your plans for the campaign? The cities you mention all have different feels to them, so it's hard for me to pick not knowing the feel of your campaign.<br/> <br/> Is the band a bunch of near-do-wells? Heroes?

<t>My 2 cents<br/> <br/> I think using FLGS sales as a judge is flawed. Ive been playing D&D for over 20 years and I think Ive bought maybe six books at a FLGS in that time span (that includes comic book stores). The boarder gaming population goes to Borders, etc. for their gaming needs, most of...

Thanks for tips. I'm eager to see what this book is about.

John, I just wanted to say well done of this little adventure. It's a nice little surprise to throw at the players.

<r>Steve's recent article about the Codex got me very interested, so I ordered a copy here:<br/> <URL url="http://search.a1books.com/cgi-bin/mktSearch?act=showDesc&code=gbase&rel=1&ITEM_CODE=193127505X"><LINK_TEXT text="http://search.a1books.com/cgi-bin/mktSe ... 193127505X">http://searc...

<t>Yep, I got issue 14 and 15 yesterday (there was a small subscription hiccup). This stuff is great. I'm really going to enjoying getting this magazine once a month.<br/> _________________<br/> Lord Frost<br/> <br/> Baron of the Pitt<br/> Castles & Crusades Society<br/> The Dungeoneering Dad</t>

Why do folks have some many copies of the PH and M&T? I'm not sure I understand the "multiple copy theory."

That is very, very nice.... 2009 really looks like a great year for TLG. It seems like I picked the right time to join the club.

<r>Here is where I keep my gaming goodies... this is an older photo, so no C&C goodies in the photo, unfortunately. Actually, this cabinet is full and my stuff is spilling into empty beer case boxes....<br/> <URL url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/-frost-/514894077/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/...

Go Steelers. An excellent game all around...

Excellent news. Her book was pretty good (just wish I could get my wife to read it!).

I don't own a C&C screen yet, so bear with me. Are the various combat modifiers on it? E.g., higher ground, half-cover, etc.?

<r>From the guy who gave you "Serv O Beer"...<br/> <br/> Indoor Airsoft Shooting Range <br/> <URL url="http://www.polymythic.com/2009/01/arduino-iobridge-airsoft-target-range/"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.polymythic.com/2009/01/ardui ... get-range/">http://www.polymythic.com/2009/01/arduino-iobridge...

<t>Just to chime in on the screen, I also wouldn't find the "note" section to useful. It's one of those things that sounds useful at first, but is just to inconvenient to use (e.g., have to take down the screen, write on it, put it back up, wash, repeat). Turning undead rules are a must.<br/> ______...
