    D&D 5E Who's given up on D&D Next?

    Although I'll play test with as open of a mind my two brain cells will allow, I"m not holding my breath. I tend to agree with Trance, its a very splintered world and has been. If there are still dedicated 1st ed games going, I have a hard time believing this will change....but I'll give it a...

    GameMastery Review: Pirate Ship Flip-Mat and Map Pack: Mines

    Great review Steel! SO glad you pulled your previous Chronicles pod-cast conversations and reviews into this article for those you have missed it. Personally, I love my old Chessex battle map with all its "OH CRAP I USED THE WRONG PEN" character. Its like an old stuffed animal I can't seem to...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder using Game of Throne's Stark Family, but where?

    Don't share the xp with Mona, he can not be trusted with such powers. :)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder using Game of Throne's Stark Family, but where?

    Pondering using the Stark family from Game of Thrones in a Pathfinder game...but where in the world would it be? I was thinking that Brevoy, maybe around Greyhaven? Where you think is a good location?

    Does anyone use the flip-mats?

    With Skull and Shak coming up, I will grab the Ship one. It looks nice and reusable. Currently have the shops and use them only occationally. The inn and one of the shops layout are very handy though.

    Gothic romance horror adventure..?

    I agree with Tinner! I would like to give it a go as well. As for romance, I had it in my Kingmaker game, I tossed a few NPCs in to help the game feel more "living". A player was married and actually had children so I know it can be done. I had the benefit of having a playground premade...

    PC and NPC Secrets - Looking for Suggestions

    I dig these things too. Recently, I had an NPC actually be a relative of a PC that the PC was not aware of. Little by little, dropped clues. or maybe something like.... *PC's famly farm is now owned by another. They wanted it back. PC stole cash to make deal go through, but an inquistor...

    How to ease players into a sandbox style?

    TOTALLLY Agree! Looking at your description of your group, I would (just my thoughts) take part of the backstory of the less experienced players and develope a simple one-off from it. Save the famly farm or find something their town needs type of thing. Why use a new members' backstory or...

    So my girlfriend wants to learn how to play D&D...

    When my wife showed interest after listening to me play for years, we started with Pathfinder and did small self-made senerios. I got the Beginer's Box and she was showing my 12 yr daughter how to move and what things meant on the stat sheet. If you don't dig or know PF, go with what you...

    Pathfinder 1E This is why pathfinder has been successful.

    Not sure....there are so many freelance or contract writers anymore (which is good) that I really only know of the ones you've already mentioned. Guess you could throw Mona and Bulmahn in there (not sure if they aren't too far up the ladder to do much writing)

    Pathfinder 1E This is why pathfinder has been successful.

    I think some of the PF APs are b*llsy. When I look at the Council of Theives, I think that was gutsy. I mean, The Sixfold Trial was not something I think everyone would dig. "What? I have to act?" Paizo could have done a lay-up encounter and still sold books without taking the chance of being...

    Pathfinder 1E This is why pathfinder has been successful.

    Well, I guess Neon isn't a fan, but fair enough eveyone has their likes and dislikes. If I can, let me suggest going to itunes or d20 radio and checking out Chronicles Pathfinder. They have done a great review of what they have played so far. About midway through the podcast is their GM only...

    4E to Pathfinder - what is it like? What do you miss? Pleasant surprises?

    Imho, I think its the skills and feats. I'm sure 4E will catch up eventually since its not really that old, but I'm with ya. I can spend hours just toying with spell combos when building a wiz. Think its the 'speed' of 4E? I mean they did focus on trying to speed combat up. I also feel that...

    4E to Pathfinder - what is it like? What do you miss? Pleasant surprises?

    The movement rules slow down early player games to me. I do the 1-1-1-1 thing personally. I hate it when a game starts looking like a freakin' game of chess. Like a ranger shooting from 200ft. Call me lazy, but I'm not going to count out 40 freakin squares. I have that archer, or...

    4E to Pathfinder - what is it like? What do you miss? Pleasant surprises?

    I think that's fair to say. Hmmmmm, maybe a pool a free action/swift minor heal per level? Just thinking out loud.
