  • Henchmen and Hirelings
    Adventurers are a cut above the commoners inhabit- ing the world—they have talent, specialized training, and access to magic that makes them akin to gods among mortals. Well, maybe not that far, but heroes are something special. Who else can beard the dragon in its lair? Who else can survive a trap-laden gauntlet to root out the goblin bandits lurking in the cavern beyond? Who else can put down zombies by the dozens? The thing is, for all that heroes can accomplish beyond most peoples’ wildest imagining, adventur- ers need the common people. Nonadventuring men and women do the things that heroes are unable or unwilling to do. What good is a knight without the suit of armor someone else made? How is the paladin going to survive his or her quest without a sword in hand? Horses? Someone has to breed them and train them. And when the adventure is done, when the heroes return, burdened with their spoils, they’re bound to be craving a hot meal and warm bed that only the sleepy little communities on the frontier can provide. The mundane tasks fall to the ordinary people to handle, and without those people, there’s little point to squaring off against monsters and plun- dering their vaults. Commoners are content to leave the adventuring Unearthed Arcana business to the professionals. They happily take their coins and provide services in return. They listen to the tales of high adventure, danger, and daring, living through the stories the adventurers tell, but they are also relieved to go about their lives without having Henchmen to follow in those people's steps or face those same challenges.

  • Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, Version 2.7
    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] . Feel free to copy/share/print this list. Please visit these websites for the best Dungeons&Dragons archives on the Internet : http://www.acaeum.com http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/index.htm .

Author's Note Welcome to my latest exclusive walkthrough for IGN, probably my last one for the year 2009. Those of you guys that where visiting my blog know that I've been on temporary hiatus to give way to my contractual projects. I'll try to make up for the lost time by covering this game. I played the original Magna Carta for the PS2 and main concerns were the queer-like character design of the main hero and the dreaded button-combo, turn-based battle system. So far the story between the first and the sequel are independent, giving you the freedom to skip the first game in order to catch up with the story. Walkthrough Watch the scenes and get a bit of the background story. Once in control, follow the event trigger as instructed.
