I think I recall someone writing a piece on cheap home-made dungeon-tile-ish setup, and recommended those to emulate flying/hovering stuff. Probably Weem ;-) PS.: Yup, I remembered right: Free/Cheap “Dungeon Tile” Ideas | d&d done wrong | d&d thoughts and parody He even found some for $1.29...

Just putting it out there... Is there a reason why PC's wouldn't just blast it to oblivion with n*fireballs?

Should he want my company - I shall be his second. Unless he adds Firefly* to his list, in which situation I'll be forced to stealthily dispose of him before the duel could take place anyway. I'd put RPG adventures either in live action (mindless loot-grab as you phrased it ;-) ) or (and you...

It might not seem like it to someone who already knows both, but both 4e and Pathfinder get a lot bad rep. They also get a lot good rep, yeah - but it's a matter of cognitive bias. When you're looking for new system, you're taking into account that you'll mostly read opinions of fans. It seems...

Such RP consistency should be rewarded when possible. But note that Greeks themselves were using many short swords. Xiphos can indeed fit the "shortsword" stats, but you could go for makhaira - which would rather fit scimitar stats: 1d6 dmg, crit on 18-20/x2. Given your PC background, as GM I'd...

Ah, I probably expressed it in unclear way, but it seems you got there ;-) Intended way was: if you want to "challenge" your group, build their enemies using additional CR point.

I'm no shopkeeper so I ain't selling stuff. I might address some of your questions though, especially since my initial stance toward PF was rather hostile as well :P As you might see here, simply nerfing the casters is not a viable way to bring balance to 3e classes. Besides, for most players -...

I dunno, there's a lot of ambiguous rules in DnD, and reading RAI is always important, and can cause problems. But not once had I any discussions over this one. Obviously, when PC's are sneaking up on goblins, as soon they're seen they're considered a threat. No matter how narrative the game...

I stand corrected, snacks were indeed behind the counter, soda in the machine. It probably makes more sense to keep pop in retailers machine and pay a bit more - but have it served cold and not worry about fridge maintenance.

Fun fact: three biggest castles in Poland are (from biggest to smallest): Malbork castle, Wawel castle and Książ. Fun fact no2: less than two decades ago it was: Malbork Castle, Książ and then Wawel. About 3 decades ago it was: Książ, Malbork, Wawel. While the castles themselves didn't change -...

First thing first: yes, fighter class is somewhat dull in DnD. Even with PF tweaks it still is, even in the olden days it was (ie, in on of (V or VI) Gary's FAQ's the Man Himself admits that he'd rather play clerics than fighters in terms of which "warrior" is more interesting). It can be fun to...

It seems that no member of our little "vocal minority" is against some kind of pay to play policy. But as always, form matters. The OP descriptions were of shops that had poor idea as to how to do it (ie - lazily; simple time coupons added to purchase would solve the non-transferable problem)...

Seeing the reaction of some previous posters, obviously YMMV. Because I'd love this idea as a player :) I'm more of a "journey" than a "destination" person though, so maybe that's the difference - which type are your players? As you're still sculpting this idea, I'll throw in my 2 electrum...

Bah, CIA chumps! Maybe they got help of those game-designer whisperers that made all the Blizzard employees quiet about Starcraft 2 being made. I'm just sayin'. IMHO, first and foremost - we're all putting too much weight to DnD as Wizards asset. What would the Big Bad Suits meddle with - the...

I have to agree that many posters - me included - focused too heavily on the "let's take everything that's not loosely nailed down!" and forgot about the survival aspect. Trying to resupply diminishing food and water would be important in Athas. Still, most of the wealth of locals is probably...

Make that three: 3) there already is a DnD MMO - made by Turbine, and Atari, licensed by Hasbro and Wizards. Not a bad one either. edit: whooah! I responded to the thread via old open tab, so Delericho post was the most recent I saw then. Is DDO really that unknown? For those curious to take...

QFT. I'm kind of positively surprised to see so many people interested in, and possessing solid knowledge about medieval weapons. To elaborate a bit for anyone interested: it's problematic to talk about this wide type of steels (see also wootz*, pulad steel), as you often have several...

Since the thread is all good and well, I'll throw in some links I forgot/didn't know about last time: PDF printables: a bit customized (to classes) character sheets, as well as grid-sheets. Versions for 3.5 and Pathfinder. Give the chap some positive feedback while you're at it :) Paizo blog...

She's just being ungrateful - many goblins would kill for such chance. But if she doesn't like it - I'd add lift curse, restoration and regeneration to spells that might work. Which one? Damn, it seems she'll have to experiment for a bit. But it might be worth checking if she didn't gain ay...

Wax on... wax off. Wax on... wax off. Searched by: "d&d 4th outsold" We can even keep it down to the trusted source of ICv2 :) ICv2 - D&D 4E Back to Press And it's not like title of Best Selling Author hurts either: mearls: From the "I'll Take It Where I Can Get It" Department [/me finds...
