You might check out roll20, it is a popular site with lots of 3.5 games. Just go to the looking for game tab and search for what you want.

Only an idiot would be happy that an animal attacked people. When we had our daughter, my cat thought she could attack the baby. First time my daughter got clawed, the cat got herself a one way ticket to the shelter. I was not going to put an infant, especially my daughter, at risk of being...

No one made any threats. I pointed out that if you were in a game store and said something very rude, you might get asked to step outside. Without that physical threat, rude little people get to act like scum on the internet without ever getting held accountable. Don't worry little fellow, no...

Pretty funny you make the OP's point ZB

As long as there are no negative consequences for acting poorly, people will act to the lowest common denominator. In a game store, if someone said something highly inappropriate, you could ask them to step out into the parking lot, but on the internet, they are completely safe. This safety...

Power gaming is very subjective. Are they just very experienced players that know how to make a character? If you have a group that is half experienced and half newbies, I can see your problem. Players with experience will always outshine those without it. Smarter players will always do...

I would give it more than one session. When 4e replaced Living Greyhawk we tried it, for months... we got characters up to 4th or 5th level, so we played for a while. I feel we gave it an honest shot, and it just wasn't our cup of tea. Pathfinder might be the same with you, although with all...

1) Really dumb. All characters should use the same leveling speed. 2) Either way, personally I like the non 4th ed. way, but could live with this one. 3) Not sure I like this, seems like a Hackmaster thing that I don't think PCs need. 4) Always have used this, and like it.

Friends don't make friends play 4th ed. :) I would bring beer and pizza and bribe them into playing something fun. Playing nothing would be better than playing a game I hate though.

Obormot I think you missed the forest for the trees here. The problem isn't blasphemy or holy word, its the twinking some players do. The spells as written only kill the riff raff, 10 hd below the caster, which is fine. What isn't fine is when the players use magic items, feats, etc. to...

I think if you are worried about the spells in 3.5 being too powerful, you have either one of two problems : 1) You are a fighter and have magic envy. 2) You are a DM and are not smart enough to use the same spells as the players. Example, players use Holy Word, kill all bad guys, no save...

Hey there, sounds rough, but have you thought about talking to the assisted living center and seeing if they will host the game? Explain to them that their client likes to play and that she can't physically make the trip anymore, so you want to bring the game to her. They should be able to...

LMAO... Oh woe is us... life is so unkind, people suck, forums suck, wish everyone was smarter, kinder, more insightful, etc. so they could keep up with me instead of pick on me. Thanks for adding some humor to my day :) You took a potentially downer thread and made it a bit lighter...

Start with an Adventure Path if you can afford one. Or better yet, have your players chip in. The benefit of an AP, is that the monsters are already calibrated to the level of your party and the adventure is written for you. This will give you time to get used to PF, without having to really...
