The grimore of Dragon Warriors is not as thick as in other fantasy role-playing games. Sorcerers, Warlocks and Mystics get access to five (or four for the Mystic) new spells per level. The good thing is that you get all those spells automatically though. However, there is one way to quickly get about two times amount of castable spells, and this is by reversing them. Moonglow becomes Darkness, and so on. Presented below are the level 1 Sorcerer’s Spells, reversed. They are still considered as level 1 spells, but cost 2 MP to cost.

As mentioned previously, I sunk some hard-earned money into the D&D 4E PHB, PHB2 and the DMG so that at least when I reference D&D 4E, I know what I am talking about. After some weeks of crunching the D&D 4E’s combat rules and powers, I have come to a conclusion about the combat system. Effective, yet artificial.

Gamestopica has been dormant for quite some time, due to real life problems and the additional coding jobs which I have take up. However, fret not, I have also filled my time by watching Star Trek Voyager (which I was told ‘You made a very bad choice’) and Babylon 5, so hopefully I would have space-opera based adventure seeds.

Another thing which I am doing is to catalogue the adventure seeds – so far I have managed to do some, but I have a presentation problem. Hence which is why I would appreciate the help of a CSS expert. You see, the stylesheet renders <a> as a block element with a background image. When Wordpress displays the number of posts in the category, it places it after the link. This is why the display looks ugly now. So it I either remove the >> thingy or I find some way to shift the background image to somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated!

Eventually I have to get down to it. I feel it is unfair to make judgments and comparisons to a game which I have already read about, heard about and have opinions about, but not read the rules itself. So that I know better about the game, I forked out over SGD 150 (that’s about 90 USD I guess) to get the Player’s Handbook, Player’s Handbook II and the DMG. There’s still the DMG II and the Monster Manual, but my wallet is already screaming at the hole. So after reading the rules, the books, what do I think? Man, a 1st level Wizard can totally kick Gandalf’s ass.
