I've played with some particurly awesome DM's, I've also played with some terrible ones. The terrible ones, I've walked, or taken over the DMing duties as soon as I could while remaining as nice as I could about it. I'd say I've had about 75% good, and about 25% bad. The thing is, a lot of...

This makes me a happy DM. I've been trying to come up with a way to introduce my son to the game, but the rules are simply beyond him at this stage. A simpler, and stripped down version of the rules would rock. Thank you paizo, I look forward to this. -Ashrum

Personally, I prefer a richly detailed setting, with lots of space for me to add onto. This has always been one of my hangups with 4e is its lack of information, and continueing support for the settings. I love Eberron, but I don't love digital support after the big release for support. I want a...

Hmm, so many games, so little time. Besides, since I'm the only DM in the group, it falls to me to run the silly things. I wish we had another DM in the group, that would rock. But so far, that is not to be. My list is: Cthulhutech: simply looks awesome, but so far can't get the group on board...

Moldvay/Cook. Man, we played the snot out of those books. I finally got rid of the books when I got married and had to clear make room for my wifes things. They were falling apart and I hadn't looked at them in years. I still have the crappy oragne plastic 20 sider that came in the boxed set...

Let's see DM'd/Played in: Greyhawk Forgotten Realms Dark Sun Spelljammer Ravenloft Pathfinder / Galorian Iron Kingdoms Eberron and numerous "Home Brew's" -Ashrum

OOOO, you made the DM happy?!?! Man, never ever ever make him happy. It's just painful for everybody and leads to nothing but long, enjoyable, and shall we say "interesting" roleplaying opportunities. Man, making the DM happy is like breaking the "Don't give the DM ideas rule". You just don't...

Morrus, this sounds like thirty levels of 4e awesome. But since I can't check it out before I buy it, will you folks be offering the ability to buy the first module and if I did like it then get something off the subscription for the rest or some such? I noticed this was present on the 3e...

I guess the first question you have to answer then, is do they need to be explicit? Are the players and yourself having fun with the skill challenges being an organic flow of the story instead of being bolded out? I'd honestly ask the players what they would prefer. Maybe stick on an encounter...

Differant strokes and all. While I liked playing with the prestige classes and all, I used them to build on the charater type I wanted. I wanted to play a deadly two weapon fighter I may go to the dervish prestige class, but then I modified the back story to make it an ancient elvish fighting...

In my mind I think part fo the problem is that 4e seems to draw the mind into that type of thinking. It spends so much of the players handbook covering the powers that the players have, and can gain, that it seems to draw the mind into a mode of what can I do, not what am I. I'm as guilty of...

Okay, I guess this particular thread makes me realize how tough the game companies have it. The OP states that the paizo run was when he let his subscrition to the magazines lapse. For me, it was the first time I had resubscribed in a decade. I fondly remembered the definitive articles on the...

Hmm, don't think I could ever refer to KidCthulhu as an it. Just wouldn't be polite I guess. My Momma raised me to always be polite to a lady, even if she is playing a six foot tall metal killing machine. (Or maybe ESPECIALLY if she's playing one. ;) ) So has anyone come up with slang...

For me a PC copy is awsome for referance and for copying certain sections I may want to bring to the table, but absolutely atrocious for reading. Especially the adventures. They require way to much flipping around to make a pc version truely helpful for the adventure in its entirety. Plus, I...

About that "side business" I can only say: Ewwww! :) Seems the party has been doing well. The city really seemed to go down hill fast though. Food riots after twelve hours seems a bit quick. I understand it isn't a city with refrigerators to keep food in, but I would have expected food riots...

I'll be following along with interest in how you've adapted an implemented the 4e rules. Thanks for sharing them with us. -Ashrum.

Hey now!!! As a proud 2009 mini owner I take umbridge to the comparison that my cherry red curve hugging go-kart is "charmless". As for 4e. IMO, a lot of that seems to stem from the lack of wide third party support. It was the third party books that really helped to broaden 3e's charm when it...

ooooo :erm:, many a campaign has ended on words such as this. That or the gnome shouting "Hey, watch this!" :lol: -Ashrum

Arg! I hate these little cliff hangers. The writers of these shows must be rodents of questionable parentage to keep tomentig us with cliff hangers! ;) Great campaign so far folks. Sounds like you're all having a blast with the new rules and with the story. PC, I've always wanted to ask. How...

I had the strange thread warp happen when I voted as well. I voted for fair and balanced. I've seen both pro and anti sides seeming to take over the boards with their threads. Both seem to be able to comment without any undue censorship, as long as both sides remain civil. I will say that...
