Midway is a big battle-centic naval adventure, hence "Midway;" or a planar adventure, with Planscape's middle plane involved; or an eastern-themed psionics supplement whose codename is inspired by a play on The Middle Way. That last one is a stretch.

Hi Monte, Thanks for all the games. I appreciate the fact that your game products are often the result of at the table play and you haven't rested on past ideas, but have moved onwards to interesting territory. I've been debating running Masks of Nyralathotep, which you've mentioned you are as...

Cross-posted from the WotC site: There are two real problems with the way this article discussed "Epic" tier: 1. Epic teir is currently the same as paragon in design, which is the same as heroic in design. There is little real modulation in how the game it played. I've come to realize that...

I was wondering if anyone else has had difficulty downloading from Paizo. I bought the RPG Thursday and still can't download it...Their customer service responded citing the heavy traffic. Is anyone else in the same barrel?

Amen. I don't let players play Eladrin or Teiflings for setting reasons. I would let them play Devas though. No other races from PHII will appear in the setting right now...Despite the fact that I think all the races are interesting. It's a players responsibility to play in the world, and the...

New NPCs In the monster section are a handful of classic demon and devil lords- Bammophet, Graz'zt, amongst others. These are certainly major NPC villains for a campaign.

What really bothers about these layoff is the fact that when business people talk about building a "brand" (an ugly word, but perhaps better than "property") they almost always emphasis a personal connection with the consumer. WotC has been doing this with Magic for years, and over the last...

I was going to start making some blast and burst templates, but wanted to see if anyone had found or made any? I'm not nearly as talented in the computer design department as most... --Elrith

I'm not really sure if this is right forum for this...I was looking at Microsoft's Onenote program, and was wondering if anyone is using it to organize their session notes...Any feedback (of the constructive sort), ideas, etc. --Elrith

And if they hadn't said that, they might have lost their jobs. People who haven't been told to be careful with new products, or worked under NDAs should be very kind to those who do. Professional etiquette should prevent people from asking questions like "when is 5e coming" because there are...

Can't reply I can't reply to this poll, because the loss of Dragon and Dungeon as physical magazine is not acceptable to me. I don't play computer games and I prefer the physical existance of a product over e-contenct. I do buy pdfs, but don't read on screen, and therefore do not buy pdfs that...

Cooler Items earlier As a DM, I tend to avoid a lockstep approach to magic items and other rewards. Therefore, I generally give big boons infrequently rather than small bit of treasure randomly. This is in part because I focus more on story than looting and also find a +1 sword terribly boring...

Hmm Interesting concept, but: 1 D&D has no where the learning curve of other games. Lots of moderately succesful games like Ars Magica and Shadowrun are more complicated, while D&D dominates the market, in part because character creation and development is linear and choice, not point-based...

Yes, I'm honourbound to I am a firm believer that players "purchase" the kind of campaign they get to play in (the rangers favoured enemy shows up often enough, the cleric has to deal with at least a bit of undead). Therefore, my players get to use the feats they take, and by taking item...

Hello Hello everyone.
