What gaming stuff are you reading?

Crusader is an awesome magazine!
I like Tunnels & Trolls but really all I've ever played were the solo adventures. Before I discovered C&C, I planned on playing T&T when the players were new to tabletop role-playing. It's one of the easiest to learn.

Right now, I am reading Knights of the Dinner Table #155. Looks like B.A. and the gang go to a convention. Even with the feature articles on HMB I feel this magazine is worth reading in its entirety.

Been looking at Codex: Erde recently. I was working putting Lion in the Ropes for a Fantasy Grounds II campaign whilst trying to get used to the whole system again. Anyway, I was a bit perplexed by what the heck an Ungren or orinsu was and trying to find something on the Charon Fiend. Then it dawned on to look in the Codex which I had sitting on the shelf but hadn't even opened. Well wouldn't you know it - it was all in there! LOL! So I've been looking at that whist I'll do a myrid of other things.

You can find the Ungern C&C write up in Monsters of Aihrde I, http://www.trolllord.com/cnc/ma1.html It's only a $1. Plus there are three others, each with 5 or so Aihrde creatures converted over to C&C from D20.

Checking out the game I apparently won somehow while at Con on the Cob -- Revolution!

It is some type of auction / board game. Might be fun. Problem is that it is designed for 3-4 players, and there are only two of us in the house, so playing it might prove difficult.

Not since we caught it cheating at Shots and Ladders, the alcohol-inspired derivative.

The Portal Magazine, issue 4. Excellent Lejendary Adventures ezine by Jerry Leonard (Dammadon). I'm enjoying his take on using LA for a Post Apocalyptic game.

I just checked City of Stormreach out of my local library. I never thought Eberon would be something I would be into, but there's alot of cool stuff in there.

I really like the whole concept of Eberron. It is, IMO, an awesome world. Arcane Fantasy Science Fiction

I agree - Eberron has a great feel to it. One of the things I really like is that even though there is lots of magic about, it has a far grittier feel to it than other, more traditional settings. Additionally, while I'm not a huge fan of "gaming fiction", I've really enjoyed some of the novels that WotC have pumped out for it.

The MMO is pretty cool and captures the feel of it too.

I just picked up a new, wrapped, box a few days ago. Got it for $46. Makes my third copy.

Just to explain, and refresh memories, when I find a product exceptionally good I buy 3 copies of each because all 3 of my kids are gamers, and if they stay serious about it they will want their own copies of this stuff one day.

So if I find good prices on it now, I get it. so they don't have to pay likely higher prices in the future.

I am still looking for a third reasonably priced copy of the Castle Zagyg boxed set.

Btw, Tree . . do your kids know this?? If not, where do you hide this great stuff that you've been collecting for them??

I really love GG's Castle White Rock. I was thinking of using it for the lower levels of my version of Castle Zagyg/Greyhawk.

Picked up the following C&C Supplements/Adventures from Digital Adventures for Fantasy Grounds II:

1. Assault on Blacktooth Ridge

2. Back to Blacktooth Ridge

3. Return to Blacktooth Ridge

4. Monsters of Ahirde

5. After Winter Dark

I have a couple of copies of Assualt on Blacktooth Ridge, but figured the work was done for me for a few bucks ($14.00 total) so I went with it. Glad I did - especially with the Back & Return stuff. Plenty of adventure fodder for my new campaign set in the area, I've got one of the players with his origins in South Pastures of Yggsburgh, so I'm planning for his eventual return there, along with a visit to Yggsburgh and maybe, if I can hook them to Castle Zagyg itself. Of course then I'll have to buy a scanner for the maps!
