Lwaxy will need to withdraw or at least severely postpone her match - I had to take her to hospital today for inpatient treatment - likely looking to be about a week, maybe a bit shorter, but she asked that you'll fill the slot with someone else if anyhow possible.

Adding one more - the exact same thing. Looks like there are still remains of the hacker attack...

I'm generally disappointed. The fighter gets significant options as does the Rogue, but the magical classes got severely nerfed. The current fighter and rogue would go well with the first spell progression for the casters or the original ones without all these bonuses would have gone along with...

Somehow the balance of these items seems way off to me. We're limited to +1 weapons (except for the special ones) to go with the new flat math concept. On the other hand, melee attackers (but only melee attackers) get a "girdle of make every weapon you might wield including those which already...

This might be a very viable idea, but in general, I am very much in favor of flexible filters on a flat forum. I hope they'll extend beyond just editions. I am for example primarily interested in player-created rules variants (new classes, races, magic systems, whatever) regardless of edition...

While it won't completely help you with screen sizing, I found that Firefox + AdBlockPlus can be extremely useful for getting rid of unwanted social media icons all across the web (and the product can be configured easily to still let through unobtrusive adverts so that the site owners still can...

Magic has actually been intended for the use by roleplayers before the game was invented. In the early 1990s, Richard Adkinson of Wizards of the Coast was specifically looking for a game that one could play in the inevitable "someone else needs 15 minutes of solo with the GM" or "We just split...

5 pages of posts scrolled through and I can drop a whole of four XP since I already got everyone else? Where's the more widespread Gary love?

A few points of this for once give me hope for the future of D&D which didn't look too good with 4E (no, this is not an edition war - in fact the very existence of edition warring is one of the symptoms that plagued the game since the 4E release because proponents of different styles of play...

The following random ideas are for 3.5/PF if you want to spice up those weapons with a bit of complexity for fun: Slings could receive a bonus to hit and damage from both Dex and Str if taking a full action to make a single attack. You swing a few extra times to gather maximum impact. You could...

Still trying to complete a round and get more valuable info out of this, but mostly being hampered by the fact that the weekend only consists of Saturday and Sunday and the addition of RPGday as the third weekend day to the calendar still hasn't made it into law.

Imagine a world where players of First, Second, Third, 3.5, Pathfinder, Fourth and Next edition all lived together in peace. Imagine it further where they all have access to their needed materials, at any time they need. Wizards: Reprint as many books as can profitably be sold and release the...

Cats. It should all be cats. From Kitten to Lion King in 20 easy steps.

The 7 levels of the playtest struck me as a "Why didn't we get this before" thing. In 1st to 3rd edition, there was often little difference between a 7th and 8th level spell (think of the power words that actually traded places!) and pretty much each school had some gaps either at 4th, 5th or...

I've voted for the spell failure chance, but only as a baseline. I believe this should apply to the normal, run of the mill wizard wearing anything but the flimsiest and most expensive mithril. However, I could well imagine variant themes that allow casting in any armor or forbid armor entirely...
