I'm the main organizer for the Adventurer's League at http://www.conofthenorth.org/ in February from the 12th to 14th at the Crown Plaza Hotel (3131 Campus Drive Plymouth, MN 55441). The image attached shows the current events in white, the yellow area is available for Adventurer's League DM's...

Another guy that would fit into any RP system that I've wanted to play or have one of the characters play, since I typically DM is a Knight or Paladin, modeled after Bill Paxton's character in Frailty. I'd wield an axe named Otis and occasionally a name of a demon would appear on my axe that...

That's the kind of description I'm looking for, here's the guy I would like to play: An angelic (winged-humanoid) archer/alchemist. Essentially he creates elemental arrows and oils for the group to dose their weapons with allowing them drastic increase in elemental damage or enhancing the base...

Totally agree, even when 4e first came out I found myself just go..."Ok, guess thats how it is then", when I would try to interject common sense into the battle...especially then the fighter is using "Get Over Here" to pull the giant away from the squishy archer that they finally have trapped...

She may have been shooting those arrow fast, but I blanket in more easier to hit than a charging orc...plus not one arrow pierced the blanket, so I think we can agree that maybe the draw strength of a bow is what gives them more realistic rate of fire. I know I'd rather shoot one arrow that...

I'm saying no matter the game or system "Common Sense" goes further than rules do...The rules, including stats and mechanics are essentially conflict resolution or ways of determining success of an action. I'm simply saying that the DM is essentially a referee, so you may as well use them. In...

If you were to remove the Game system out of the equation, what would your dream character be? So don't think in terms of standard races or classes just respond with a description of the character. This is more of a curiosity item, and for any Game Designers (or DnD Next), just wondering where...

I also think you need to apply some realism to combat...Other wise you get the scenarios like the ones people have described here. My favorite paradoxical scenario is, the baseball diamond with three characters and two monsters, one monster at 1st and 3rd and one character at 2nd, but two at...

I don't really see the issue...it seems it all "When" you decide to roll initiative. In most groups I could hear the player complaining about the tactical gaming scenario, and rightly so...they have there spear ready, they should have had a surprise round at the very least. But even is a game...

There is a Core Rules, that is separate from the Campaign Setting, and I am making an effort to allow the rules to stand on their own. The original system was created in the AD&D 2nd ed. time frame, and was later patched to support some of the 3rd edition changes...and recently for 4E. What...

Thanks Skulls, I have officially launched the project, my summer is busy, but I still crank on this nearly everyday. I have a few artists getting involved, I'll send out names as they sign on, on the and I think David Wesely, the Grand Father of modern Role-Playing, is going to write the...

I agree, starting a Dark Sun campaign and thought, I'd buy myself some prep time with starting out with a bought dungeon, so I could focus on the next story arc while I ran this "As Is"...but now I have to spend my time stitching this poorly designed adventure together...It reads a lot like a...

I figured I'd post a sample of my cards, I've got a collection of about 1,000 now, all driven by a DB, here's a sample: A few more can be seen here: Sample Cards ‎(Dnd-4e-BOTE‎)
