Congratulations to Dave and Baldman Games. Nice guy, great gamer. I very much look forward to see what comes next for the Adventurer's League. :-))

I don't think you need to detail them (stat-wise) very much at all. Such "creatures" would be of demi-god status - meaning that they would have all Traits at 12+2. They would wear legendary armour (giving at least +4 to Parry) and wield legendary weapons (giving at least +4 to Fight or Shoot)...

Yes, I am also experiencing the same problems. Over and over. But I haven't tried to pay for my cart through DtRPG - so I'll give that a go. Thanks!

Rifts (for Savage Worlds)

I downloaded the Head Start software as prescribed today. I cannot get the game to run past the splash screen. My whole computer nose dives into a crash. I'm running a new iMac with 12 Gb RAM. Most other folks with Macs are having the same problem (on the Steam forums), and so are a bunch of...

I used to use Fantasy Grounds (right from it's very first inception), but I don't any more. Three years ago, I switched from a PC desktop to a Mac desktop. To get FG on Mac OSX you have to go through Steam. And I'm wary of Steam (for a bunch of reasons I don't want to go into here). So, I...

My advice would be to pick yourself up a copy of the Pathfinder Beginner Box and use the rules therein (you can also get the PDF off the Paizo website for $9:99 - a bargain). They are simpler than those found in the Core book. For example, they ignore Feats (which make PF way more complex)...

In my HotDQ campaign, one of my players is now a 3rd Level Elven Druid (Moon). I have hand-waved that she can turn into CR 1 beasts that are common on the Wild Coast. We agreed on a list and that's what she uses. When she gets to Level 5 we will agree on more (if they are available). We have had...

I'm running (as DM) Hoard of the Dragon Queen via Roll20 (my table of choice these days) and enjoying it very much. We are only at the Dragon Hatchery, so time will tell. My players like "Action", so I plan to reskin as we go so that they are kept on their toes. I'm also prepping a "Neverwinter"...

5 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate Campaign Probably one of the best character building books ever created - plus you got downtime activities and mass combat thrown in for good measure. Useful in any game system with a few modifications!

I voted "Up to $40". I'm assuming you mean "$40 per annum subscription" (as it does appear from what I've read that the subscription model is the most likely). However, I would only be prepared to pay $40 per annum if it was as functional as the 4E Builder and Monster Compendium (incl. the...

You're looking at about 40 hours of play time. Maybe less if you railroad players more than usual (and discourage the "open every door" style of play). I've DM'd it twice now (incl. once back in the early 80's) and I can't see you doing it justice in under 35-40 hours. I'm actually considering...

My players are nearly at the end of Lost Mine of Phandelver. We've been using my Combat Chart and Time Tracker (see attached). I give my players two Short Rests per day, and it works really well. So far (after 20+ hours of play) no PC has died (though a few have been knocked to Zero or below on...

I don't post very much, but I'm a long-time lurker. And I've missed reading your posts! So, welcome back! :-)

Wow! Thanks so much for the great feedback and ideas! I few things to take away: * I actually bought a PDF copy of 13th Age, but I still haven't read it yet. Now I have an excuse! :-) * I like the idea of saying "Yes" more often. I have no problem with that. I enjoy "cinematic" game play (and...

I'm about to start planning to play my first 5th Edition game (LMoP - Starter Set). I want to play it Theatre of the Mind. I'm looking for DMing advice on how to handle area spell effects. For example, Player A casts Sleep on the goblins. How do you determine how many goblins get affected? And...

I suggest placing Phandalin just north and slightly inland of Safeton (on the Wild Coast). It has the same kind of topography that the Sword Coast has (coast, forest nearby, hills nearby). It's on Wooly Bay (leads to the sea). And it is about 1.5 days ride to Greyhawk City (same distance...

Not to sound too heretic (in a D&D thread), but the "Kingmaker" Adventure Path (from Paizo) is a really interesting Level 1-16 adventure sent around "Fey Themes". It includes ample numbers of dryads, centaurs and other fey - including a rousing Fey-finale. Just about all of the monsters in the...

It's also nice to see Otto and Mordenkainen's names have officially made it to the spell list. It will be interesting to see how WotC handle this kind of intellectual property if the Basic Rules become a SRD. Remember, they stripped this stuff from the 3.5 SRD.

I read this news page every day! Please keep up the wonderful work! I'm not a fan of Facebook or Twitter. I'm 50 years old, and cranky. ;-)
