    Early Dark

    Hey all. It's been a long time since I've been around Enworld, so I apologize if this has been mentioned before. I did a search of the forums via Google but couldn't find any reference to Early Dark. I was trawling the RPG.net forums today, as I am wont to do, when I saw someone mention Early...

    Review of WFRP 3E

    Hey all. In case anyone was interested, here is my review of WFRP 3E that I wrote up. As you can tell, I like it a lot. WFRP 3E - An Amazing System | Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set | RPG Geekdō

    Warhammer Fantasy 3E

    Hey everybody. Can anyone tell me if there has been a discussion thread on the reception of WFRP 3E, involving actual gameplay? It's out now, and I was wanting to hear what the ENWorlders think of the system in actual play. I don't have the ability to search, so I can't check myself. Also, I...

    Crystin Question

    My group is near the end of the first adventure, and I have the second one and have perused it as well. I notice that in discussing Crystin and Haddin, there are multiple references to Crystin breaking free of Haddin's control. The adventure clarifies, "Though it's beyond the heroes' ability...

    Experience with FATE?

    I find myself turned off by most RPG systems these days, and I've explored quite a bit. However, the FATE system keeps grabbing my attention. I first saw it with Spirit of the Century, but was completely uninterested in the setting. However, I know that they have the free 2.0 PDF out for the...

    Best Gestalt Combo for Wizard

    Hey everybody. I'm going to be a player in the Rise of the Runelords Pathfinder adventure. However, it's just going to be me and another player. We're getting to do gestalt in an effort to balance things out a bit. I've decided I'm going to play a wizard; maybe not the best choice but I have...

    Space RPGs?

    Hey everyone. I've been reading some sci-fi space operas as of late, and it's really whet my appetite to run a space RPG. Only problem is, I don't know of any great space RPGs. I own the Star Wars books, but that's definitely not what I'm looking for. The Battlestar Galactica and Firefly...

    Ranger - Twin Strike kick to the groin?

    I ran a 4E game for my group for the first time on Saturday. The group was under attack by bandits, and a bandit sidled up next to the ranger of the group. The ranger was holding a longbow, wanted to attack but couldn't do so and shift as well (he was dazed). He also didn't want to draw an OA...

    Goblin Hexer - Vexing Cloud

    I've been wrestling with this question and wanted to tap the wisdom of these boards. When the Goblin Hexer (pg. 137 MM) casts his Vexing Cloud, "all enemies within the zone take a -2 penalty to attack rolls." It then continues on and says, "The zone grants concealment to the goblin hexer and...

    RPG with best shooting mechanics?

    So, a question completely unrelated to D&D, but one I feel like the grizzled veterans on this board can help me with. I've searched as best I can, but I've never found an RPG that seemed to have really solid and fairly detailed firearm mechanics. I'm talking about reloading/accuracy/different...

    Cleric - Guardian of Faith

    So I was looking at running a D&D 4E game with some friends, and one of them had chose Guardian of Faith for the cleric. I commented how I thought that ability was pretty crappy. However, a scenario was brought up that made me very uncomfortable. What happens when a cleric summons a guardian...

    AoO - Moving through friendly spaces

    One rule situation currently has been popping up in my gaming group, that being: If an ally of yours is in a space threatened by a baddie, and you move through that space that your ally occupies, and moving there would normally provoke an AoO, does the baddie get to hit you? Basically, if...

    Overarching Plots Vs. Self-Contained Plots

    I'm getting ready to run an Eberron game on Fantasy Grounds for some friends, so I started working on some plot ideas. However, I wanted to do something different this time - I wanted to make an overarching plot instead of a self-contained one. The latter are my forte and how I've always run...

    Complete Mage - Mindbender - Telepathy

    Real straightforward question here, one I feel kind of foolish asking. The mindbender prestige class in Complete Mage (pg. 54) receives telepathy at first level, being able to communicate with any creature within 100 feet. Is this communication two-way or one-way? Is the person (not...

    Solo Campaign Online

    Hey there. An experienced DM, looking to run a solo campaign online, as in you being the only PC. All options are open, including alignment. The most important thing is your character has some soul, since they'll be the star of the show. It'll be set in Eberron, and run on Fantasy Grounds...

    Melee Damage and Str Penalties

    I'm actually DMing a game right at this very moment, and a situation has arisen. If a person has a negative strength penalty, say -1, and they only roll 1 damage with their weapon, say a rapier, will they actually do 0 damage or is it always 1? We're checking on it, doing searches and whatnot...

    Old Thread Request

    Hey there. Could someone give me a link to the GenCon '05 thread(s) on the board? I wasn't around during that time, and would like to see what people did.

    The Band of the Axe - Mercenaries in the Iron Kingdoms

    Flynn looked out the window as the Thornwood Forest passed him by, the train causing nearby animals to scurry about on the forest floor. He glanced over to his new traveling companions: a stocky dark-haired man, probably of Morridane descent, and a rather fine-looking woman, her auburn locks...

    Did I make a mistake - Gestalt, EL, and testy players

    I just got finished running a game of Iron Kingdoms tonight. What the end amounted to was a gestalt ranger/rogue being murdered in a wheat field. The player, who has a penchant for raging, stormed out of the game after he was killed. The party consists of the ranger/rogue, druid/sorcerer, and...

    Player Problems with Character Wealth

    My players regularly chew me out because their characters do not have the "appropriate" character wealth, as seen on pg. 135 of the 3.5 DMG. At 8th level, one character had 13k worth of items and another 16k. The players whole-heartedly believe it severely handicaps their characters'...
