There's been heaps of comments about stuff missing from the ESD downloads, and apparently no one on the companies side is interested in doing anything about it. So I thought, well if the official site can't do something about it (ie hosting the missing sections of these downloads, then who can? (well who can legally is what I mean)). Now I don't own any of the ESD products myself so that's where I need your help to compile a list of what's missing. Of course I'll have to be discriminating when taking on board what people say but I hope that with enough information from enough people that I can compile an accurate list of what is truly missing. Of course I did have to come up with this idea just before moving half way around the world with all of my stuff in Australia, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it) The officials at Wizards have given the green light for me too look into this but I'll still have to pass the actual final list of things that I'm going to upload. shawn Vaults of Pandius http://www.mystaranet.jamm.com/vaults ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 21:14:34 +0200 From: Giampaolo Agosta Subject: Re: The ESD project Shawn Stanley ha scritto: > > Now I don't own any of the ESD products myself so that's where I need your help to compile a list of > what's missing.

I'll check the ESDs I own.

The larger number is broken into teams of ten, with a leader. Each team of ten gets d10 attacks as if a fighter of level equal to the level of the combined team. So 10 orcs with an orc leader would get a total of d10 attacks hitting as if they are an 11th level fighter. Quick, simple, and it even translates eaily into 3E. Much more deadly and challenging as well. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 May 2005 21:38:53 -0700 From: Magister Mystaros Subject: Re: The ESD project This sounds like a great project, Shawn! I don't have any of the ESD's myself, as I have everything I need (except Jade Hare, darnit). I'll be happy to contrinute scans when I can, though most of my collection is quite well-worn.
