    How woulda Chromatic Dragon react to the theft of its eggs?

    I'm thinking not well, but what do you think? I have my main BBG enchanter stealing chromatic eggs of each variety as components for a variant of the ritual to become a lich. In this variant, the caster gains various draconic powers in addition of becoming a lich. Now, I'm thinking that the...

    D&D 1E Goodbye to 4E, new PF campaign in FR 1e

    Not long ago, I started my first Pathfinder campaign set in the Basic Dnd setting of Mystara. I needed something different from 4e because, frankly, I did not like it. I kept my 4e camping going and started up a second campaign, this time using PF. The PF rules and feel finally gave me the push...

    Comoare the wish list to the playtest

    A while ago, I had this thread: Innovations I'd like to keep. So let's compare what I wanted to keep (*and many others) to what is being proposed. Same XP table for all classes : As far as we can tell, yes, it is in there. No THAC0: yup. Uniform mechanics. Related to previous point but...

    Pathfinder 1E First game of Pathfinder last evening...

    and after two years of 4E, all I can say is.. ahhhhhhhhhhhh! That felt good! I ran U1 Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh an old 1E adventure. The group managed to clear out the first floor and half the second in 3 hours. Had a few bumps, where I could not remember the rules or they had changed...

    D&D 5E Different approach to buying the core books in 5E

    I was reading another thread bout the old guys needing to get out of the way and it crossed my mind that I might not be buying 5E. With all the debate about what 5E should be like, I kinda just realized that my personal dislike for 4E has changed my approach to buying the core Dnd books: it has...

    The best thing for DND...

    As we have seen with the departure of Monte Cook, there is little consensus about what shape 5E should take. IF 5E does like 4E and essentially fails to rally the user base, what would be the best thing for DND? Personally, I think that the best thing would be for DND to be bought out by...

    D&D 5E Innovations I'd like to keep in 5E

    Strangely enough, I don't think anyone has done this (or, more likely, I didn't see it). As I'm reading all these threads and all the talk about the old editions, I get nostalgic. Heck, I'd kinda like to whip out the Rules Cyclopedia and the Gazetteers and try my hand at BECMI. However, when...

    Flatten the math: how much and should it be linear

    EDIT: Did you ever go back to a post you wrote and say 'Wha?!? I actually wrote this?', well this is mine. This long post can be summed up as follows: 2 fighters of the same level, all else being equal, should have a 50% chance of winning against the other if all they do is stand and swing...

    Any news on playtesting?

    I realize that this must surely have been asked before, but has anyone heard when the playtesting will begin? I'm annoyed that WOTC has asked for names then nothing. Other than compile a database full of emails, nothing seems to have come their 'signup for playtesting' If they were not ready...

    Idea for Nentir Vale/ Nerath campaign based aroung Hambly's Darwath series

    HI guys! I'm going to be starting a 4e campaign as soon as my 3.5 campaign finishes. I am planning to do the H1 to H3 series to learn the ropes then switch to my own plot lines. Now, I have decided to adopt the default POL campaign setting using the Nentir Vale. To add my own twist to the back...

    Clue in the clueless

    Hi all! I have seen references in numerous posts about 4E getting the math wrong at high levels and that the "expertise" solution in the PHB2 is right/wrong/not enough. Can someone give me a quick rundown on what the problem is? I have yet to play 4E and have not been following the forums...
