I've created my own D&D/PF Hack of MHRP and I'm looking for help starting to test it. The attached document assumes you know MHRP and any version of D&D. As a first step, I'd like to see what starting characters people come up with. The character concept behind the numbers is important. Also...

I start a new job December 1st after over a year of temping. My work shirts have gotten quite ratty, so I want to find some new ones. But I'm having trouble with my Google-fu to locate what I'm looking for. My top criteria is short sleeves, so shopping in a physical store at this time of year in...

I found two great videos when searching for songs my wife hadn't heard yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8b4xYbEugo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_1HMAGb4k Since I really haven't kept up on music videos since MTV stopped showing them, anyone else care to share music videos they've enjoyed?

I finally killed you, VIRGIN! RIP Rik Mayal :(

With a large-scale attack on Sandpoint looming, and a group that enjoys the tactical grid, I found myself contemplating how to best make it work. The maps I created cover most of Sandpoint in a 25' per square scale. I'm still working out details of how to deal with the scale. I have...

Looking for feedback on my 5E conversions of new rules introduced in Paizo's Adventure Path Player's Guide for Curse of the Crimson Throne. Anything too weak or powerful compared to the latest playtest document? Anything that could be made more interesting?

Anyone else catch the premiere? I feel like Fox dropped the ball in advertising this (I know, what a shock!). I'm sure they were trying to invoke some mystery, but I wondered how a show about the Headless Horseman would work. That wonder made me watch, but I could easily see much more...

AY666 FROM: 13:20 COPENHAGEN KASTRUP APT (CPH) TO: HELSINKI (HEL) 15:55 I would. Always wanted to visit Finland. But flight 666 to Hel(l) on Friday the 13th certainly sounds like a fun setup for a modern horror game. :devil:

I was stumped tonight. I'm running Rise of the Runelords for 4E. Upon reaching the edge of cornfields surrounding a farmstead, one of my players asked how much a field of corn (roughly 1,000 feet by 500 feet) is worth. He wanted to burn down the cornfield (with the farmer's permission), but...

I lost my personal copy of a file. Then I remembered that I attached it to a two-and-a-half-year-old Chicago Gameday thread. But when I click the link I just get a 'waiting' screen. Is this because of the rebuild? Is there any way to get to that file at this point? The thread is here...

I've made numerous attempts to convert AD&D and 3E adventures to 4E without satisfaction. So I began to think about flipping the focus of the conversion. This thread is not meant to discuss how to convert adventure material to 4E. I've read alot of good advice (and given some) in this regard...

Just what the title says. I was interested to see an alternate 4E setting and adventure path, but I see no reference to it other than the AP page.

I was playing a short session of D&D with C (my 11-year-old son) playing a Dwarf Warpriest and his brother Z (7) playing a Dwarf Slayer (plus their two NPC companions a Dragonborn Knight and an Eladrin Mage). Z decided he was unhappy with C's leadership (go figure). Z: I'll go by myself! C...

The latest episode of SNL featured a parody of Mitt Romney desperate to fit in with various groups on a speaking tour. [Podium set up in front of RPGA logo] Romney (dressed in a cloak holding a sword): "I can't imagine a time in my life that Dungeons & Dragons wasn't a part of." Off-Screen...

****40+ year old spoilers ahead*** I just watched The War Games, the final serial for the second Doctor, Patrick Troughton. I've always scoffed that the Doctor from the American TV movie actually counted as a Doctor, especially since the Doctor from the older movies is not counted. But the...

How balanced do you think it would be to tie Daily powers to milestones achieved? My initial thought would be that your characters would start the day with no daily powers available to them, but each time they achieve a milestone their daily powers would all refresh. The obvious downside is that...

My older son is 10 now and I think he should know the truth that Slash is not real. He's pretty mature and I think he'll take the news well. But I'm worried he'll let his little brother in on the secret. Advice?

Call Me Fitz, starring Jason Priestly, is coming to DirecTV channel 101 this month. Do any of our Canadian friends here watch this series? I've set up the pilot and the second episode. It's billed on IMDB as a comedy, so I'm hoping from the looks of the commercials for a good low-key or dark...

Did anyone else catch the Green Hornet trailer? I wasn't a fan of the original (not because it was bad, just before my time), but I thought the trailer looked pretty good. I'm sure many people will hate having Seth Rogen cast as the GH. I can understand that even though I do enjoy his work.
