Just wanted to reply to this and add my own 0.02. I have played ACKs extensively for about 2.5 years in a play-by-post. It is by far my favorite old school rules settings. But maybe you have your own favorite and you're not ready to convert. No problem, this book, and many of the ACKs books...

Rough guesstimate on what you could do: Dragons - probably nothing, maybe a clockwork beast or a blimp/ornithopter with a flamethrower. Orcs, kobolds, goblins - indeginous "savage" tribes of humans (warning, probably racist) Skeletons - no go, maybe frail machinery Zombies - neurotoxin/mind...

I do indeed enjoy 4e.

unfortunately my FLGS isn't especially L at a 45 minute drive away. To make matters worse, apparently the Free RPG boxed set had a substantial price hike for fewer things than last year, so he opted out of participating. I guess last year a bunch of people came in, grabbed stuff, immediately...

Tiefling: infernal pact warlock | chaladin. 18s in cha and con (thanks to the new split stats, but it worked fine before that). you'll have to switch between weapon and implement until you get a rapier pact blade, but then you're golden. this is made all the sweeter by "Winning Races: Tieflings"...

This was a bit of an ad-hoc so i couldn't say if it's super balanced. This was an item I gave to one of my PCs since he was a deva taking the deva paragon path. He completed a quest to honor deva elders, and they cast a ritual to let him go into a spirit journey. When he awoke, he had...

I inititally asked for information on, and then detailed my experiences running sigil. The thread is here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/304350-newbie-sigil-seeks-dming-advice.html It seems like sigil is a pretty big part of planescape, so maybe you'll find what's...

I normally avoid these threads like the plague but I felt like chiming in on this one. First, the most recent mearls article about what the different editions of D&D focus on rightly points out that currently there exists an edition of D&D for you (yes YOU) for where you fall on the paired axis...

it's frustrating because i like 3.x, pathfinder, and 4e, so I don't want to counter with a series of images that puts down 3.x/PF. Meanwhile, someone actually took someone else's mock of 3.x and reversed the images as if that constitutes a damning argument. Oh well, back to reasonable attempts...

there should be a metagame to this thread where you guess what edition(s) the person plays based on their images

Just in case there is still some doubt on the compatability, I thought I would pile on that I have both original 4th and Essentials in my home campaign and have had zero problems with regard to compatibility. It may be fair to say the starting point isn't as graceful as wotc originally...

i was not aware of this product. i was already able to get my girlfriend to play D&D, but i bet she would be more open to this since she loves abney park and steampunk. oops, this thread is quickly going off the rails for reasons completely unrelated to the guy who literally threadcrapped...

they are Abney Park, a goth-turned-steampunk band formed in 2004 (ish) and releasing steampunk themed albums since 2008. I don't necessarily think 4e is better able to do steampunk than other editions, it just so happens that steampunk has come into vogue around the same time as 4e. It could...

disclaimer: i like all of these bands. 1e 2e 3e 4e Pathfinder

I can't take credit for that. it was the premise of the adventure in the back of the DMG2.
