Fabian had a nice style- but it worked best when everything looked that way. So he's my choice if only one artist is to be used. However, in the event of a mix, his style doesn't really play well with others. Other options? Well,I'm a bit of a philistine where art is concerned, but I'm going to veer...

Awright. Crabby 2E holdout bias aside.... I'd occasionally see a book to mine for ideas... but WotC didn't make too many of them. They were long on inane prestige class after inane prestige class, INCREDIBLY rules-heavy with new monsters and CRAP in every book. However. There WERE a few gems. Only o...

No no, it's just their "new" philosophy- The Succubus killed the Erinyes and took her stuff. Including, apparently, alignment. :roll: Of course, as a crabby old coot who still thinks of "Tanar'ri" and "Baatezu" (yes, I hopped aboard during TSR's PG-rated phase), I find ...

Ah-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hahahaha. Ha. *ahem* Anyhoo. I shrieked when 3rd Ed. came along. MANY shrieked when 3.5 came along. I can't WAIT to see the fallout from this one. *sigh* And there was White Wolf's switchover.... :roll: Good thing my crabby hoarding tendencies have left me sitting on a PIL...

I forced on Non-RL group to bodyguard a bunch of goblin women and children on a "trail of tears" sort of deal after they'd helped wiped out all of the tribe's adult warriors. A bunch of small humanoids, forced to trap rats just so they have food, being forcibly resettled far from the mount...

For starters, let me say that I both love and hate Stephen King's books- and that he really IS hit or miss. Best? The Stand . Hands-down. Specifically, the "butchered" version that King purists hate so much. The cultural reference sound better (Lawrence Welk, Jimmy Carter, as opposed to Je...

I LOVE this lil' book.

I (lucky me!) have the print copy, which I have kept from getting dogeared by various crooked methods.

To me, this book in particular illustrates why Ravenloft is, to be honest, the best damn setting. Period.
