Shades of Gray

Are dancing days here again as the summer evenings grow?¹ Not if you know first hand about classical Dungeons and Dragons. You know at this point too that you are likely to have very few true friends in your life.

Anyone know of a resource for DnD monster origins?

feeds@yuku.com (Sen the Collector) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:07:25 GMT

Does anyone know of a good resource for finding out which classic DnD monsters were created by Gygax? For example, was the owlbear Gygax's work or Arneson's?

Any word on those POD's????

feeds@yuku.com (aberzanzorax) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 19:56:45 GMT

I'm hoping to (for the holidays) order several friends and myself certain necromancer games books recently available in PDF only, but soon to be relased in POD form...

...any news?

One Step At A Time is BACK!

feeds@yuku.com (DnDChick) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:08:02 GMT

Hey all!

I've been a ghost down in the Tome of Horrors forum for a long time, but now that the Pathfinder Bestiary is out, I'm back in business.

I need to get reacquainted with the monster design rules and blow the dust off of my skills at converting and updating older versions.

In light of that, I've re-started the popular old One Step At A Time monster design thread, and have an open...

Grognardia is blocked at work. Great. All because of the content filter that thinks it's a game. Everyone else can read news that's important to them, but I can't read EN World, Gaming Report or Grognardia. Grr....

POD Updates--probably for ALL books

feeds@yuku.com (Tsathogga) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:56:53 GMT

from DTRPG this morning:
"Direct sales of POD products -should- be weeks away, not months. However, we have to be absolutely sure we can knock it out of the park from the start. You and I both know we'll all burn if it's a mess at the start. There's some testing and back-and-forth quality and process issues still being worked on.

We'll have a more firm date soon, I promise, but I won't announce until I know I can deliver it right. It looks great so far,...

Need to complete your collection of NG's "K" series?

This eBay seller (who is NOT me) has been repeatedly putting up this deal witha bundle of K1-K8. Whoever he is, he must have a stock pile of these modules because he keeps reposting this deal. I recently won his last auction for it. Note: I have not yet received my goods yet, but...

Hi From Orcus

Clark asked me to post this for him..

I am having continuing trouble logging on to EZBoard. I cant figure out why it is, but it has been for over a week now! For those of you wondering, "hey why is Orcus posting on ENWorld but not here on his home boards," well now you know the answer. And to those of you who sent me PMs (DM, for instance) I get the email that says you sent me one, but I cant log in to read it. So I am not ignoring anyone.

As I work to get...

Necro and C&C

feeds@yuku.com (Krazz The Wanderer) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:44:54 GMT

I started D&D with 2nd edition about 19 years ago. My group switched to 3rd right when it came out and we have been playing it ever since. But I have never been completely happy with it. There are some great things about it for sure, but the combat system has always turned out to be slow in actual game play.

So I have ordered the new Castles & Crusades rule books. I'm hoping to speed up the game play, so we can accomplish more in a session. Plus it seems to me...

Best and Worst Necro Modules?

feeds@yuku.com (Krazz The Wanderer) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:32:21 GMT

I'm looking to start a new campaign with my group and I'm looking to acquire the best Necro modules. I've made up a list of all the Necro products and maybe instead of just focusing on the best, it may be easier to ask what are the top 10 worst modules. I figure this should be more of a universal consensus than which ones are the best (I hope!) This way I can quickly establish which ones to avoid.

So what are your least favorite modules and if you feel so inclined, go...

A Roundabout Route from 4E to Pathfinder

The story of a gamer looking for a home...

So 4E appeared and I went for it big time, having abandoned 3.5 many months prior to this. It was great; a slick new system with new ideas, revamped monsters and a great set of tools for the DM. I was like a pig in the proverbial. But the shiny new car developed a few major glitches. Such as an at first dynamic and interesting combat system rapidly turning into a repetitive power-fest that stifled creativity and role-play, for instance. My...
