    D&D 1E PoD Reprints

    Just in case anyone was wondering about the quality of the PoD reprints of the 1e core books from DriveThru, I just ordered them in a fit of nostalgia since I sold my first edition books long ago. These are the Standard Colour Hardback option, and I am very pleased with the quality. The...

    New Battle map books

    Loke have a new set of paired battle map books out, Castles, Crypts and Caverns. I am not affiliated with them, just a big fan. This one might have slipped by people’s radar as they didn’t go the Kickstarter route this time. I just got my set and it’s a fantastic product as usual. Here are some...

    GURPS PDF Challenge 2021

    Last year SJ Games tried a new type of Kickstarter that they found very successful: the base backer level of $3 gets you a PDF supplement then, as the total funding increase, you get more PDFs for that $3 pledge. The full target for the campaign was a dozen short supplements. They’ve got a new...

    Endless privacy requests?

    I’m getting endless requests to set my privacy settings, on every page I visit, irrespective of if I say ‘accept all’. I’m running the very latest iOS (14.5) and using Safari. Is this the new normal?

    A year in: PS4 vs XB1

    Hi folks, After resisting manfully for a year, Dragon Age Inquisition looks like it might be the trigger for me to join the latest generation of consoles. I've been a PS guy up until now, but there aren't really any exclusives which would force me down that route anymore, so I am wondering...

    Attacking from a hidden position

    In DnD 3.x, if a rogue attacks from a hidden position with a ranged weapon do they get sneak attack damage? Here's a specific example: it's the second round of combat and the rogue breaks line-of-sight to an enemy, then makes a successful Hide check. Next round, can they step out of hiding and...

    Dragon 382 - Controllers: Breaking the utility power paradigm

    I've just read the Controller article from Dragon 382 and it seems to me that they have fundamentally broken the Utility power paradigm. As I understand it, the whole point of Utility powers were that they were a resource you couldn't spend on killing things. You could only use these powers to...

    Hi, I may be being dense, but I can't see how to fork a thread. There is no readily apparent button or link to do this (I'm using Firefox BTW). Am I missing something, or has this feature stopped working? If I am missing it, a screen shot highlighting the control would be appreciated...

    DMG Intro Adventure - Big Spoiler!

    So, I ran my group through the intro adventure in the DMG as a lead in to Keep on the Shadowfell. They did OK in the Kobald encounters, though the 'conker of doom' encounter hurt them bad and one PC ended up on the deck in the boss battle against the Wyrmpriest. By this point, the party (an...

    Psionics only campaign?

    Hello all, a good friend of mine is planning a new campaign and wants to try something a little different. One of the ideas we are kicking around is to only have psioncs (XPH) in the world and no magic. Has anyone tried this in the past? How did it go down? Any thoughts on this concept in...

    Finnesse Grapple?

    Hi everyone, would you allow a character with Improved Unarmed Strike, Improved Grapple and Weapon Finess to use their Dex bonus with their grapple score? My friends who study Aikido would certainly say strength wasn't a factor in their throws. Opinions? Dan
