Crafting magic items has always been a tough-to-handle issue in most organized play settings / living worlds. This is mainly due to balance concerns. In Erevos, we overcome this obstacle and allow crafting normally; furthermore, we give room to all crafting candidates to shine by making the...

Indeed there can be very interesting settings with all races. Given I am one of madnick's associates (who posted originally) I can give a little insight regarding the background of the question. By all means, when designing a setting there are things that you are definitely including (you like...

I have always felt that a GM customizing an adventure to fit the characters running it, improves the quality of the adventure itself. In my experience, most groups do it -some to a lesser and others to a greater extent. I am talking about adjusting intro hooks, introducing minor sub-plots...

It's really interesting how far this discussion went these last two months. I never imagined it would go that far when I originally posted it. I 've been watching your posts (although I ve been missing a couple of pages from time to time) and many examples of in-game problems or lack of them...

Greetings everyone, Our introductory video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNHNwR5utpU Erevos is a living campaign setting compatible with the Pathfinder Role-playing Game. In contrast to previous popular living settings, the community role in Erevos is decisive: registered members decide how...

I am really interested in what the community thinks regarding melee builds. Fighter, barbarian, rogue, ninja, paladin, monk, ranger, cavalier, samurai are the obvious choices. Then again, some casters can make pretty interesting melee builds too. Let's avoid multiclass characters or prestige...

Do I need line of effect to cast an illusion (figment) spell? I am standing next to a window and want to cast Silent Image outside. It seems to me by RAW I can not cast it although it feels like line of sight should be enough for a figment.

Since most people do not have such experiences, let me chip in to the conversation ;) There is at least one major debate about alignment in most campaigns I run with my group. Not necessarily conflict, but debate. There are some important causes behind this other than the structure of the...

I see there is a division of opinions regarding alignments, which is both interesting and constructive. I do get the points of the ones giving alignment high value, this proves both that there are arguments in favor of alignment and that there are several players that like the system to say the...

Very nice tip! thx savage, it is indeed for a PC. I like the traits suggestion too, but I don't think I will be satisfied with one. I want to have as many opportunities as possible to role-play tough decisions. If my character is greedy for example, this might be nice to roleplay at the...

I agree. Nevertheless, as long as everyone at the table realizes that this is not how a real person would be and there are no real-life such issues among the players (which might create out-of-game awkward situations), it still might be interesting to role-play even though it is not 100%...

I am looking for a few interesting but also tough to role-play personalities. I want sth that requires actual thinking to role-play in every situation and maybe some acting skills. A character with multiple-personalities might be such an example. Or someone somewhat mentally retarded but...

I am challenging the general concept of alignments and the way they are used in most OGL settings and games. I do understand where they come from. And I realize their importance when a new player is introduced to rpgs. But what do they offer to an experienced player? Now before I get to my...

There is absolutely nothing else behind this. These guys are very good friends, perhaps both slightly strong-minded. Today, we went out to drink beers all together and agreed to roll it back and give it another try. The view that all play should be within character is very cool. I really doubt...

Thx for all the feedback. I agree with most saying the blame is on both sides. I do believe hooking characters properly is a big deal and all this would have been avoided if it had been done. IMO, although both have responsibility for the hook, most of it falls on the DM. As a party, we have...

Today, there was a major disagreement regarding an in-game issue (that nevertheless expands in out-of-game territory and perhaps a big discussion on the GM-player relationship and way to handle conflicts) between 2 of my friends, so here I am looking for an outsiders' view of the situation. A...
