I was just browsing kickstarting and this caught my eye. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jagash/the-spark-roleplaying-game This only has three hours left so it is unlikely that many people will see this before it expires. It fits in nicely with my style of play. My games tend to borrow...

In the days of the bulletin boards there was an alignment test in DOS .exe format floating around. Due to its length and intricacy it seems to have been written by a philosophy major. If it wasn't written by a philosophy major the underpinning of test was tied to a philosophers attempt to...

Has anyone here experimented with using MasterBot ( a new consumer-grade, desktop-size 3-D printer) for creating dungeon tiles? I'm tempted to spend the money and started trying in out myself. Dungeon Tiles for Miniatures Gaming by Telvin_3d - Thingiverse...

Got tired of them sitting on my bookshelf and finally just took them over to the local re-seller. You have any questions please let me know. WotC Third Edition books d20 adventure books and rule books. Includes an signed "Arcana Unearthed".

I was reading an article in the New York Times today and they made a statement about what makes for good science fiction: In my personal experience, my favorite RPGs have also provided a metaphor to explore real-life issues. I was curious how many folks would agree with the statement that...

I noticed this on reddit today: Oh, The Huge Manatee!

This is a class variant provided in the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting. Is this a balanced option? The question should be be narrowly phrases as: "Is this a balanced option against the Pathfinder RPG core classes?" "Is this a balanced option against the 3.5 core classes?". Ysgarran.

A few years back (3? 4?) a movie short was shown at GenCon near the Anime section. Basic premise was a fellow hunting Dune-like sand worms. Only had two characters; the man with his rig and his dog plus the sand-worm itself. The one he finds is much bigger than any he had found before. The...

This is a story written by a good friend, co-worker and sometime gamer. I thought about posting it in the 'Story Hour' forum but since it wasn't directly RPG related this seemed to be a better place for it...

It seems that this question has been asked before but my quick searches couldn't find it. For some reason I had got it into my head that when you were enlarged (per the first level wizard spell) all items (including arrows, bolts and daggers) that left your person reverted to their original...

As a DM I was going to rule in our home game that since the Elegant Strike is precision based damage that it would not get multiplied the way damage from Strength would be for a power attack. For example, an 18 strength, 16 dexterity Champion of Corellon with Elegant Strike while power...

I was reading in the dragon (Sage's Corner) that if a warrior has a reach weapon (such as halbard) and also has spiked armor that he threatens every square within 10'. In other words if someone did something to provoke an AoO 5' away, then that warrior could attack with his spiked armor. What...

My chain of thought went along these lines. Getting tickets to Spamalot King Arthur and the Holy Grail The killer rabbit with the big teeth. I never did write up that Paragon rabbit that I thought about, well, someone must of come up with besides me. One google search later...

I was reading the 'Champions of Ruin' blurb on the WotC and read this: 'you will discover everything players and Dungeon Masters need to create the most evil organizations, treacherous villains, and morally ambiguous antiheroes.' My first thought that WotC has not displayed much talent in...

I thought that rangers could take shapechangers as a favored enemy but I couldn't find it in the books. Is this a 3.0 leftover that I have in my brain? I was surprised to see that lyncanthropes and/or shapechangers were not listed as a possible ranger favored enemy. Ysgarran. p.s. Nothing...

Starting up a new campaign and I'm currently working on a background with one of the players for a 'Reborn' character (taken from 'The Book of the Righteous'). The campaign is going to use Eberron for much of the broad background ideas but the tone is going to be much darker than what is...
