I heard an EVIL rumor that Rose (Billie Piper) left the show. Is this true? Please say it ain't so!

Also, here's something awesome that I found for all us Dr. Who fans out there:

Currently Reading:
Star Wars and Philosophy
It's a collection of philosophical essays dealing with the Star Wars universe. Very weird but funny at times.

Realms of the Dragons
A collection of short stories set in the Forgotten Realms, set during the 'Year of Rogue Dragons'. Each story has a dragon in it somewhere, but so far there have been more misses than hits IMHO.

Just recently read:
The Gates of Night (Dreaming Dark Book 3) by Eberron creator Keith Baker. Damn him for the ending. Awesome trilogy that I recommend for any Eberron fans out there.

Born to Run, Poison Agendas, Fallen Angels by Stephen Kinson. A trilogy set in the Shadowrun setting. All about a poor girl named Kellan Colt. I recommend them if you love Shadowrun.

Drops of Corruption by Jason M Hardy. Another Shadowrun novel about a man named Bannickburn. Hysterically funny and worth hunting down.

Aftershock by Jean Rabe & John Helfers. Yet another Shadowrun novel and the best of the five if I do say so myself. I had to force myself to put it down and go back to work, lol. Definitely worth reading - it's about what happens when a run gets completely f***ed up.


Something I found entertaining to read was Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved.

Also loved Chronomancer back in the days of AD&D.


The Maze of Zayene adventure series is supposed to be a 4 part adventure (as stated in White-Wolf's online catalog). Parts 1, 2 and 3 are called Prisoners of the Maze, Dimensions of Flight and Tower Chaos respectively. What is the name of the 4th part? Has it even been published yet? Has it been canceled?


I have a suggestion that might make the store better.

On pages where roleplaying books are advertised I think the ISBN and the number of pages the book contains should be listed at the end of the product description.

Like for example, at the end of the description for the D&D 3.5 PHB, the ISBN is listed. Below that it should also list the number of pages and whether or not the book is hardcover (I know that's copying the White Wolf product catalog, but hey it works :-p )

I just find it annoying when I see 'hardcover' listed in the title of something instead of it being in the product description. I also find the spelling and format errors increasing at a staggering rate. I didn't mean that as an insult just as a suggestion.


The wraith was my favorite thing to throw at my players when I used to DM in high school. It's also one of my favorite units in StarCraft.

When I first dabbled in the online world a few years ago I was 20 about to turn 21, hence the number. I've used it across the net since but I think there is some other schmuck out there that uses it...


I haven't yet received my issue. Is there some sort of problem with shipping that I should be aware of?


So I guess it's my turn. I am (turning in a few weeks) 26 and live in the western end of North Carolina. I've been playing D&D since my sophomore year in high school (96-97). I both play and DM, right now struggling to get an Eberron campaign started (conflicting schedules SUCK). I also play World of Darkness a little, Mind's Eye Theater, BESM, L5R, Star Wars and Exalted.

I also can't imaigne what I'd be doing if I didn't play. I guess my brain would still be rotting playing video games (JUST KIDDING!!)

And just for the record, I work in a bakery 3rd shift loading trucks :P Not exactly a thinking person's job, all I have to do is keep track of numbers but hey, it feeds my addiction, lol. Sadly I'm the only one at work that plays so I have no one to talk to about it. I'm definitely looking forward to what's coming out next for my favorite game.


I just got my copy of the book today. Even though it was late I have to say that it was worth the wait! The level of detail in it is amazing. I'm also grateful that the handouts are available for download so now I don't have to cut up the book ;-) I have to say congrats on a job well done and I can't wait for the hardcover version of the Age of Worms adventure path *hint hint*.


Sweet! Thanks!!


Here's an idea for you guys to think about:

Since you send orders from the online store via UPS, why not send shoppers an e-mail with their tracking numbers in it so we can track it at UPS.com ? Other places that I order from online send me messages so I know where my parcels are and when precisely I can expect them to arrive. I work 3rd shift so it would help me out a lot if I knew when to be up to get my package. Just something for you guys to think about. I'm heading to bed, later.


I plan on using the Eberron content from Dungeon & Dragon magazines in my campaign which begins this Friday. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. This is my first D&D campaign since high school (I graduated in 1998) so I have been pretty busy reading and re-reading the core book, Sharn City of Towers and the 3 part adventure that was published last year. I think that my players are in for a REAL treat.

I am also planning after the adventure trilogy - I have tailored the rest of the campaign to the party (somewhat) by using character background to create more story and conflict. When they realise what I'm going to do, it's on, lol.

I am eager to read The Five Nations when it is released and the rest of the Eberron supplements as they come out this year. I love the setting and I think WotC should do another campaign setting search sometime in the future. Who knows what we might find next?


You were correct! My order arrived shortly after I made the post - AND after I had left for work :-( so I did not get to read any of my books until this morning when I got back home (I work 3rd shift 12 hours a night). But I do thank you anyway for tracking down my order regardless.


I placed an order on May 13 which my account page lists as being fulfilled on May 24. It's June 1st - Where did my order go?


Were you guys down all weekend or what? I wasn't able to access until a few minutes ago. What happened?


If you can get your hands on them, the Encyclopedia Magica volume 2, pages 785-795. The entry has the original source as being the Dragonlance MC Appendix. It includes the history of where the orbs are from and what each color orb does as far as powers and such go. I hope that this information will be of some use to you...


How do I add something from the store to my wishlist?


I also didn't get that issue. What do I need to do to resolve this problem?
