I think there's more to sexuality than what happens in the bedroom. Several of the background flaws have a "sucker for a pretty face" thing going. What exactly constitutes a 'pretty face' does somewhat depend on one's sexuality. You can also have playful flirting or winking at the...

There are a few things to keep in mind about long rests: You can only have one per 24 period. That leaves 16 hours where the party cannot begin a long rest, although they can certainly try to hunker down and wait for 16 hours to pass. If your dungeon or wilderness is safe enough where this is...

The system is setup so most fights cause resource attrition, not threaten the players lives. Try having the recommended number of encounters between rests and they will become more challenging. If the players only have one fight per rest and get to blow all their best spells and abilities on...

I disliked prestige classes in 3e and PF. I'd rather see more archetypes for the core classes or even more core classes if necessary. IMO prestige classes are more difficult to balance because they will be combined with other base classes. Too many potential pitfalls and strange combos to...

That's a novel way to generate stats. My group just uses the stat array from the PHB, no rolling.

I voted FG w/Teamspeak, but only because FG w/Skype wasn't an option. I've been using the software for nearly 2 years now and have been very happy with it. Updates are pretty frequent and it's moving in a very positive direction.

Thanks for the further clarifications, that's kind of what I was hoping for and expected would happen. Keep up the great work!

Kobolds and Lizardfolk are my favorite, but I don't think we need official stats for them. Races are easy to homebrew, unlike classes which can screw up balance pretty quickly.

My group finished Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat. It took about 6 months meeting once a week for 4-6 hours. It's the ONLY campaign I've ever seen finished. We got bored with Prices of the Apocalypse. My group isn't into dungeon crawling so much and the very large dungeon didn't...

I think the appeal is for those GMs or players who enjoy building their own 3D maps at the table or painting miniatures. I've seen some crazy elaborate setups that people use at their table that must have taken months or even years to create. It's another aspect of the hobby. I understand...

I would also prefer to see more archetypes rather than new classes. If another class was added I'd prefer something that brings a new mechanic to the table, like a shaman with a spirit animal, rather than something that mashes together two existing classes like a PF magus. The Eldritch Blade...

Fantasy Grounds is a real TRPG. it just happens to be hosted on a virtual tabletop instead of a physical one. I've been running games on it for several years and coupled with Skype it does an amazing job of simulating the real tabletop experience. In fact it automates quite a bit of the...
