    What's cooking for 13th Age?

    Wow, looks like the IP stuff is a mess but I appreciate seeing the improvements coming along!

    What's cooking for 13th Age?

    Pre-ordered the book and went through the PDF. I liked what I read. Then I tried to navigate Pelgrane Press's dysfunctional web site (I hate "blog-like" sites) digging for what's coming up next and I couldn't find a thing. When I clicked on 13th Age - All Releases (Which should be pretty...

    Combining 2 board games for epic gaming!

    The 2 best I can think of are Middle-Earth Quest and War of the Ring. The former takes place during the 17 years between The Hobbit and LotR and the latter is, of course, the books redux. Depending on how well or how poorly Sauron gets closer to the ring in the Shire in the first game would...

    WotBS WotBS Adventure 2 : Cool ways to deal w/ Indomitability

    Other stuff I came up with : Sling stones carved from tombstones, including one from a famous hunter of the seela village (+5 to hit) and one from a famous singer (Sound Burst on impact, this will replace Tiljann's Flute of Thunder). Repeating crossbow built to fire 5 dead fingers. Starting...

    WotBS WotBS Adventure 2 : Cool ways to deal w/ Indomitability

    ** Spoilers abound. ** Playing the campaign in 3.5 but I don't think it matters. I fell in love with the concept of those "one-word" Trillith having weaknesses based on what they embody (Such as Indomitability suffering full damage from "once-alive" material). I want my players to get the...

    Song of Forms - Suggestion of an appropriate musical piece

    Riding your "Hymn of the Fayth" idea, I found this gorgeous and instrument-less Choir interpretation which I will be using unless someone can find something better. Right now, my only little complaint is that it's a bit short and thus may sound repetitive after a while. Other than that, that...

    Song of Forms - Suggestion of an appropriate musical piece

    Possible WotBS spoilers! My players will most likely reach the seela village during our next session. I would desperately love to be able to play something that would closely emulate what it would be like to hear the same lamenting lyrics over and over again. My understanding is that the Song...

    Reviewers wanted!

    I already subscribed to the whole thing and posted a review because I really think this great product didn't get half the attention it deserved. You have one happy customer! Linkie. -Marcon

    War of the Burning Sky : The Scouring of Gate Pass

    This will be a playtest review more than anything. It will be especially useful to people who read through the adventure and are wondering how it can unfold with the interaction of a real group of PCs. In case it's not clear enough, this review will make more sense if you already know the...

    Talk to me abou Blood Bowl (And dwarves)

    I hate the Dauntless skill. Always use it at the end of your turn or as a desperate measure. The way the game is designed really doesn't mean it's a skill allowing weaker players to block mighty ones, far from it. Believe it or not, the Blitz kick-off roll was even more broken in earlier...

    Talk to me abou Blood Bowl (And dwarves)

    I have a Chaos Dwarves team and I love 'em. Bull Centaurs and Hobgoblins add a bit a versatily to an otherwise slow race as was pointed out by some. If you happen to play a lot of Elves team, you'll have a clear advantage because the "Tackle" skill basically negates their "Dodge". Elves are...

    Help me come up with interesting encounters in the Fire Forest

    I like a few of those suggested (The dying man begging the PCs to end his life, the hellhound mafia-style "warning" and of course Indomitability's trial) but the rest is leaving me on my appetite. When my PCs get to the Elf Village, I have no doubt the moral issues and having to ponder whether...

    Using a Ride check to get cover

    I don't think there is a more ambiguous paragraph than the one found on p.80 detailing the way you can use your mount as cover. It's unbelievably short for the flurry of options it allows in my head and I want to make sure I get it straight before trying to use it at the table. Could someone...

    Did anyone design funny items from Councilman Menash's collection?

    Title pretty much says it all. I intend to give each of my PC something with a boon along with a very minor drawback. Loot is hard to come by in the 1st adventure so they pretty much have no choice but to use the extravagant stuff. The bard will get the peeled banana dagger (Gotta find...

    NPC vs NPC fights : Should I just fake them?

    So your PCs have a NPC ally with them or they happen to be involved in a fight between good guys and bad guys (Obviously taking one side or the other in the process). Do you systematically roll every attack die, keep track of HPs, etc. for the allied NPCs? If you handwave it, do you bluff your...

    Help me build a cool encounter for the 2nd half of the 1st adventure

    I already talked in length about one of them being an Elf Warmage from Shahalesti and if you don't mind me being picky, I'd say this guy already had the spotlight on him during last session so I'd prefer something tailored to another PC. What's left in the party? We have a Human Cleric of the...

    Help me build a cool encounter for the 2nd half of the 1st adventure

    After one session, my players just retrieved the case. They did it diplomatically, one of them being Lord Shaaladel nephew and successfully convincing Shealis she was misguided in bringing the case back to her homeland, potentially by an infiltrated Shahalesti traitor (Hopefully, I was able to...

    Shipwreck/Island adventures

    AD&D Ravenloft's Neither Man nor Beast. They had to cut the corners on the the sea voyage/shipwreck part, but boy, do the party land in "some remote location" they are not likely to forget! -Marcon

    WotBS WotBS #12: C'mon then guys - what do you think?

    Everybody who participated in the making of this campaign saga didn't get half the credit they deserved. I know how it feels to finally release something and then die in vain to receive critics. Heck, not necessarily positive ones, I'm sure you'd rather read a bunch of insults than stand this...
