Wikipedia in its infinite capacity for cranial-rectal inversion has decided that a page on Torg is not noteworthy. Hopefully someone who is a better researcher/editor than me can provide the appropriate relevance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torg

Slate on D&D and Gygax I didn't see another thread on this: http://www.slate.com/id/2186203/nav/ais/. Don't shoot the messenger.

When I see a post I'd rather not read, I want to put the user into the ignore bin. But then I think, "maybe this is a good poster on a bad day." The only way to figure this out is to search for other posts by the same user, and then figure out if they should be ignored. But what if I could...

First of all, I'm not a 4e fan. But this this thread isn't for 4e fans. I read the 4e rogue, thinking it might turn out to be really neat and perhaps change my mind a bit. And I was underwhelmed. So I thought I'd start a discussion of what's wrong with the 4e rogue as spoiled. If you are a...

I figured out what I don't like about 4E: It doesn't appear to fit my DM style. But once I realized that I realized I could play in a 4E game, just never run one. I have a friend that is full-on in love with 4E, so he will most definitely run a game. With the game apparently so easy to run, I...

This thread keeps getting renamed to random titles (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=201122). I've probably clicked on the thread two or three times "accidentally" after it was renamed. In fact, when going to get the URL for the thread, the thread was renamed yet again. I'm finding it...

My gaming group is thinking of giving Star Wars Saga Edition a try, but I don't have any SW minis. We like gaming with miniatures even if they aren't 100% accurate. Actually, anything that is vaguely close usually works, so some of our D&D minis would work. But we'd like some Jedi or Sith...

Can comprehend languages decypher a code such as: A bo def ghiabk. Can it translate a normal language written in code: The green mountains rise at midnight. Can decypher script do either?

I haven't seen a thread for errata to the War of the Burning Sky adventure path, so I'd like to start one so changes get into the final printing. Warning: Spoilers Adventure 1: The Scouring of Gate Pass Act One: The Secret Meeting Page 12 Problem: The Bounty Hunter Thugs are missing a feat...

My (2nd-level) party has taken to the following tactic: Shaken a bad guy with something like "Cause Fear", then intimidate the guy to shaken him again which equals frightened causing the bad guy to flee. Since someone in the party has like +16 initimidate, so no creature ever beats the...

We've been having a blast. Anyone else playing?

Say a human picks up a small-sized spiked made for a halfling. He can wield it as a medium weapon at -2 to hit. Does he still get reach? Could you dual-wield small-sized spiked chains? Or how about a small-glaive in one hand and a light weapon in the other. That way you would have reach all...

I'm ready to start a new campaign. The idea is that the party are reflections of the greatest heroes of the past. They start low-level as they are just reflections, but they should be of the greatest potential. So for stats, I'm thinking either: (1) Every stat is an 18. Or (2) The ridiculous...

I'm ready to start my new campaign next week. When is episode one due out? I really wanted to read it over the weekend.

I'm starting a high-powered campaign, and I'm thinking of using the following rules: Choose a race before rolling for stats: Any LA +0 race, roll 5d6 keep best 3, arrange to taste. Any LA +1 race, roll 4d6 keep best 3, arrange to taste. Treated as LA +0 thereafter. Any LA +2 race, roll 3d6...

There is currently a thread at the top of General titled "When the GM gips you (a rant)". The word "gip" or "gyp" is a derogatory reference to Gypsies. I think this community can do without such.

The Magician, a variant spellcaster somewhere halfway between wizard and sorcerer (I hope). The idea is to get rid of per day spell prep but still end up with a character that can cast utility spells like identify, and can still make useful magic items. Base Base Base Base Additional Attack...

I never liked Improved Uncanny Dodge (cannot be flanked) because of that weird clause about "a rogue of 4 levels higher can still flank you." First it seems to binary: if that rogue is one level higher you would take an extra 8d6+1/hit, but alas you take just 1d6+1 from his shortsword. Works...

We are planning a campaign where the characters are the ultimate heroes of all ages. For stat, we are planning on using the "super elite" array of 18, 17, 15, 13, 12, 10. This comes out to 48 point buy. How ridiculous is a campaign run with these kinds of stats? Is there any stat rolling...

I want to get rid of spell preparation. But for various reasons, I don't want to go to all spontaneous casters. I want to keep the "feel" of the prepared spell casters such as the wizard. And for me that "feel" is that they have many different spells available and mix it up encounter to...
