    D&D 3E/3.5 What 1st, 2nd, and 4th edition rules should be imported into 3.5e?

    I use the xp system from AD&D for my own games in 3.5 at the moment. It makes my job easier as GM which is nice as the group reaches high levels. Though, I am likely going to steal Pathfinder's xp system in the immediate future for my game.

    The Unwritten Rules of RPG's

    I have a few for monks in d20... - Guest players running NPCs will result in a ghast monk roughly thirty minutes after assuming control of the NPC. - Epic monks during prison break scenes at the start of an Epic campaign are fun for the players, only. The GM crying in the corner is crying. -...

    So it's finally happened? D&D reduced to board games...

    In terms of playing '4e' rules, the Ravenloft game replaced the 4e game with my weekly group. My older group that plays every other weekend runs either 3.5/Pathfinder or Savage Worlds. So, it replaced the RPG in my small group.

    Borders files for bankruptcy

    The Borders near me is not that great for gaming material. So, I try to go through my local game store. Also, I know the Borders manager is not a huge fan of gaming groups hanging out in the social lobby area, too. I suspect the manager is partly at fault for the lack of gaming material, honestly.

    Harry Potter d20

    So... No breath weapon on Salamander, the heat aura is good to go. Otherwise, it plays well in the setting while holding the theme of the HP universe. The HD was a bit high, but the HD covered the fireworks episode. So, it fit the genre which was important to me. Anyways, the general theme was...

    Battlegraph Dry Erase Hex Boards

    Wish list wise? My group is putting some money together for an order. But, we have talked about... - Edge Holes for mounting side pieces securely to the base without them moving. You could have walls, backdrops, and such things on it. - Paper Clips with digital templates or printing quick...

    Harry Potter d20

    The 'older' one is into it. The younger one is just there for kicks. He has friends into it, however. I am fairly sure the salamanders do not have spellcasting in the books, but I figure that a 1000 year old creature might have it. It would be rare and interesting.

    Harry Potter d20

    The salamander blood thing was from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The burning touch is the heat aura. :) It needs to be a special ability. The age factor would raise the Salamander into spell casting range, and I am tempted to drop the breath weapon to spell usage at old age to be...

    Harry Potter d20

    So, I have a rough draft of the Salamander. The age progression thing seems to be where you could have really old ones. So, I put the age tier at 0, 10, 100, 1000+ This is the rough draft. I am tempted to link the burning touch to any melee attack and call it a special ability. The below...

    Ever see a Strengh 18/00 rolled legitimately?

    I had a DM way back in the first days - 1e... He rolled my % for the stat and came up with 100. It was my only character to have that by dice rolls. Then again, I never used it. I got squashed by an anchor fighting sea creatures.:blush:

    Harry Potter d20

    Salamander, methinks... I have a short adventure in mind for some kids that are into Harry Potter. They are just starting the series. So, I get to play parent and run a game for them.

    Hah, I can work on one this weekend. I am sure that I can find something fun to do.

    Harry Potter d20

    I would love a PDF of this to test. It seems to have a solid Harry Potter basis. The class seems to work well. I can test it over the next week or so. And, I would consider getting some help in splitting the mechanics apart from the fan material. If you make the mechanics specifically OGL and...

    What's the best way to begin a space opera campaign?

    You have a straight forward starting point. However, you should keep in mind something with Space Opera. The starting point for the characters is not always the starting point of the narrative. The distinction is profound once you sit down to assign adventures. As a sci-fi GM, I keep several...

    Pimp Your Favorite Gaming Site/Blog/Podcast

    I visit PADND, Mass, and Enworld. PADND is an old hangout where I game on the secondary forums. Mass is my own gaming forum where I have my group fight Jackson zombies, and Enworld is where I go to get ideas for my Savage Worlds game.

    Scott Thorne, a retailer, comments on recent events

    I speak for three of four Spelljammer fans that know the material when I say - he did not offend three of us. The fourth player of my group is still sulking over the article as a 'lost chance to reclaim the glory', however. Overall, the article is a decent take on bringing goofy setting concepts...

    Did WotC underestimate the Paizo effect on 4E?

    Ayup, classic baseball lore... Most pros have some wisdom along those lines. The only important strike is the last one. And, it's not like it is a surprise. You do not just wake up and find yourself in front of a man throwing a baseball at you. The example supports the one SoD rule more than...

    Venting: Some people are too sensitive...

    [ zen ] Humans choose to define ourselves. It is what we do. Freedom? Nay! As humans, we impose bridle upon bridle to our own shoulders - be it economic, social, or religious virtues. We choose slavery for ourselves. It is the true face of humanity in its most pure form. [ /zen ] Bleh, late...

    Did WotC underestimate the Paizo effect on 4E?

    You are talking about the guy that suggests giving the audience pleasure of the sort they get from waking up to a nightmare. Somehow, the idea of three saving throws to avoid death does not fit anything to do with Hitchcock's style if you ask me. :P Not being mean, I just do not see 4e death...

    WotC: Re-issue older editions.

    The thing is... Somebody that buys a POD set of Council of Wyrms, for example, is not looking for 2011 standards in art and design. The only standards that would apply would be technical in terms of DPI and scan resolution. As long as the final PDF meets the standards of the POD requirements...
