We've just started a new group on meetup.com for D&D players who can make it to the SW Orlando Theme/park area once a week. We could use some additional players though, so feel free to either check the meetup.com website (http://dnd.meetup.com/892/) or contact me at scifiorama@hotmail.com diectly/

Our venue is a comicbook store, and we're looking for consistent Sat evening players -- possibly moving it to Sunday Day and/or evening if that works better for people.

First meeting is 11/11/06 but if you can't make the first, night and still want play, let us know.

ROTS was just too fast and rushed. Lucas wrote himslf into a corner and jammed too much stuff in to wrap things up. Anyone who didn't watch the Clones animated series or read the Dark Horse comics got jippped on both Grievous and the Clone Wars.

I think the quintesstial Prequal was TPM. Sure the Gungans were slightly annoying, and Darth Maul (the best villian ever since Vader) gets taken out in the end. But, we learn so much more about Tatooine, the Jedi Order, and we have a classic Star War -- the technological forces of the Trade Federation with their Battle Droids and tanks facing off with the atlattle wielding, shield bearing, dinosaur herding Gungans.

I tend to avoid having cable since it causes me to get nothing done, so I find myself waiting for seasons of TV shows on DVD to be released. Anybody have any suggestions?

So far I've bought/rented and enjoyed:

Battlestar Galactica
Lost
Firefly
Deadwood
The 4400

I cant find early seasons of Stargate, and the price point for Star Trek stuff is out of the question.

Any opinions on Millenium or Earth2?

I have mixed feelings about the new Class Acts article. Yes it was a nice change, but I missed finding out more angles to play to my preferred core class. I would suggest alternating each month between orginal core and new/prestige classes, or at least not forgetting about some of the staple classes like Thief, Paladin, Bard and Barbarian.

However, if you're going to continue with the Class Acts format, I'd like to see articles for Assassin, Scout and Ninja in the future

I agree, update these spell cards for 3.5, AND then add Psionics cards.

I picked it up, flipped through it, and saw maybe about a dozen pages I would use for my game.

I'm not adverse to buying a book and using only part of it, but at the price point the Compedium was set at it just wasn't worth it, considering I already have much of the material in unrully back issues.

I would have liked to have seen more of the info compiled from the "Uncommon Character" articles assembled in it -- almost like a Player's Handbook II.

Which brings up the idea, that maye you should get with WOTC assemble that expanded info for the core classes and creat the Player's Guide II!?

AGE: 34
Playing since the lates 70's/early 80's.

Gave it up for about 12 years and got dragged back in by some new friends. I love the new stuff, but we're actually running a classic AD&D camapaign (when the DM doesn't have enough time to prep the 3.5 game). It's a blast to be faced with "save against or die in two rounds" scenarios. You always have to have a back-up character on the bench.

My favorite B-lister has always been US Agent. He was Captain America with a take no B.S. attitude. If you needed a smackdown he wasn't going to let morality get in the way of it.

They brought him back briefly for New Invaders but that fell by the wayside pretty quicklu

Currently I think he's pretty much been rolled into Ultimate Captain America.

I realize this might be a difficult thing to manage on a website, but what about the possibility of a Frequent Buyers Club or credit points to a dicount on your future purchases.

I buy a lot of games from a local comicbook/RPG retail chain and they give me a card which they stamp once for every $10 I spend. Once I've spent $100 I get $15 in credit or something.

It would certainly encourage me to direct my purchases to Paizo more, rather than hunting for the cheapest product on Ebay or other sites.

"Two guys walk into a bar...which is kinda stupid, since the second guy should have seen it coming?"

"A guy walks into a psychiatrists office dressed in nothing but serran wrap. The psychiatrist goes, well I can see your nuts"

"Is this thing on?"

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Be sure to try the buffet ;-)

I am looking for players for 3.5 Forgotten Realms campaign -- weekend or weekday nights (except Friday nights), 2-3 times a month or more.

My current group ranges from their 20's to 30's, and I prefer to run story/character driven game, rather than a hack-n-slash tourney, though sometimes a dungeon crawl is just dungeon crawl.
