RPGA Events at Fan Expo Here's the link for RPGA event scheduling at Fan Expo. I'll be running two slots of CORE1-13, on Friday evening and Saturday evening. Fan Expo RPGA gaming : Event Overview Hopefully, between all the RPGA, I'll actually have a bit of time to go see the dealer's room!

Hey, put me down as an alt. this sounds interesting.

Couple of questions before we dive in, Chris. Are Hybrid characters allowed? Also, are there any setting restrictions?

Just shoot him. Seriously. Toss a few brutes up to soak up damage and keep him busy, while ranged artillery pounds him from range with secondary effects like daze and immobilize. Immobilization can seriously suck if he's relying on Footwork Lure to trip them. Whoever suggested monsters with...

What's likely to get the axe If Star Wars is getting the axe, that's probably due to licensing reasons, not profitability. I think Dreamblade's already done, but the Axis and Allies miniatures game is probably likely to get the axe next. It's all their licensed flop CCGs - Transformers, Maple...

But all of the 3e magic classes were broken... at least all of the primary casters. People are ragging on Wizards in this thread, but CoDzillas were in every way as bad. Also, I think what Psion is talking about is throwing in lots of SR monsters, dispels, and anti-magic fields, but that just...

I think we now know why the Githyanki have +2 Con and +2 Int - those are clearly the prime requisites for the Swordmage class, and Githyanki are going to by far make the best Swordmages.

Remember, while you can use Str. to hit, you always add Con to damage. A 14 Con is quite decent for a Dragonborn. My Dragonborn fighter looks like this: Str 18 Dex 14 Con 14 Int 8 Wis 12 Cha 13. It's a nice, well-rounded statline, and I could easily choose any of the weapons to specialize...

I prefer to call them "pew pew" clerics, as opposed to "smash smash" clerics. However, I'm just using the common parlance.

There's a lot of synergy between Cleric and Ranger powers, particularly for a Laser cleric. You just have to look in the right place. Remember, as a Cleric/Ranger, and acquiring powers through feats, you're only going to get an Encounter, a Utility, and maybe a Daily. The most useful...

Yeah. It's the fact they want to charge for this now that's making people hot and bothered about the poor quality and design of the site. I mean, I didn't care before DDI. I mean, the only way I ever found anything on the WOTC site was through links from ENWorld anyway. But if they do want...

I'm just wondering why anyone would be using Safari. Unless you're browsing from an iPhone, there's just so many other robust browsers out there... Firefox, Opera...

It would have been some trick for them to play 4e, as the game hasn't been released yet. That being said, if they stopped playing 4e, they're shirking their sacred playtester duties!

I think you can always opt out of the challenge, and play up the Intentional Suck. Then you become part of the problem, and everyone else has to narrate around you. I mean, creativity or not, there will always be situations where your contribution to the effort will be, "I use Diplomacy to...

Since I heard Steven Erikson used to play GURPS, I always imagined that Malazan would be powered by GURPS. The different schools in GURPS would essentially be the different Warrens.
