    Raging Swan's ENNIES Judge?

    Ah! Thank you for clarifying all of that. I figured there was review'ery in there but after all the bits about stars I started to get lost and tried to look for the quick synopsis. I guess that was were I lost my footing. Okay, I'm good now. I shall move along and look for my droids elsewhere.

    Raging Swan's ENNIES Judge?

    Um... I actually tried to read the text from the link, but I have to say, I just got confused and actually gave up as I couldn't make sense of it because of all the different articles...

    Pathfinder 1E I'm in over my head... Need some help!

    An alternate line of thought to that of having the balance of day/night or sun/moon go out of kilter is that the town and its immediate surrounds were actually translocated. In keeping with her threat, she relocated the PCs and their town to a demiplane trapped in a permament twilight, or...

    So one of my players decided to summon a Demon and cut a Deal.

    -chuckle- I always think that elements like this can add so much fun to a game. Even if it comes with unexpected side-effects (which I am sure the PCs have not yet really come to grips with the full nature of their new companion nor the reach of their new bargain).

    Pathfinder 1E What the heck do Roc eat???

    In addition to what's already been mentioned, I'd throw in mastadons. And if the climate is bit cooler, mammoths.

    How Do You Prefer To Buy Your RPG Products?

    While I enjoy browsing through a gaming store (and subsequently purchasing therein), the fact that the closest one to me isn't that close, and the inventory is limited, means that online is my best bet.

    D&D 5E Building a Hot Rod: What I miss most in D&D Next

    Unfortunately, I think some of what you are looking for will have to wait until we get more "bits". At this point, there is simply not enough to work with in the manner in what you are looking for. Of course, there is the distinct possibility that there won't be more "bits" - and that the...

    D&D 5E No 5e bashing, please!

    Would an asinine be the Borg donkey version of Seven of Nine?

    D&D 5E Building a Hot Rod: What I miss most in D&D Next

    Generally, in the games I ran, the players would be figuring out things like what they wanted to do when they leveled up - where to spend skill points, what feat to get, what spells to research, did they want to multi-class, etc. If they weren't close to leveling, they'd be planning things like...

    D&D 5E Building a Hot Rod: What I miss most in D&D Next

    Too, keep in mind we are still, relatively speaking, at the infancy of the edition. There isn't much there beyond basics.

    We are being laughed at. A ranty article purely for debating purposes.

    I tried watching Big Bang Theory once - and only got about 5 minutes into the episode before I gave up on the whole thing. It was pathetic. It was like they were trying too hard to be geeky/nerdy/sciency and thus everything felt forced. The humor was lame and the attempts to endear you to the...

    D&D 5E No 5e bashing, please!

    We could boycott bashing. Or would a bashing boycott be a bashing of its own, thus becoming a never ending boycott bashing boycott?

    Help me save gaming at my FLGS - difficult situation

    I'm thinking any banning will not help. It will not help any perceptions of Encounters - much less the addition of 5e to the mix; it won't help with alcohol (which is a whole other legal and liability issue); and it won't help with gaming hours. But, it could help garner an adverse reputation...

    Help me save gaming at my FLGS - difficult situation

    You mentioned you spoke with some of the other people about "other factors" at play. Are those something that can be mentioned? I have to say, if the "ban" has no impact on the other players' desire to return, it sounds like these "other factors" are actually quite significant. But on the...

    Monster Manual Layout/Organization: What do you prefer...

    Doh! Too quick for my own good... As to the actual points at hand, I have to say I have mixed opinions (though I chose the third option). There are times, especially when I am rushed, where I just want all the bits for the zombie - I don't want to have to also look up undead. When I have...

    Monster Manual Layout/Organization: What do you prefer...

    But... There's no poll to be seen? Did it get omitted? Or is your text the poll?

    D&D 5E D&DN going down the wrong path for everyone.

    For what it's worth, me and mine have almost always started all campaigns, regardless of edition, at 1st level. They run until they naturally concluded - which was almost always in the high teen levels, and on occasion even 20th or beyond.

    Fighters vs Wizards - A New (?) Look at Balance...

    Honestly, I've never had this issue in any of my games - the whole spell caster dominating everything issue. From everything I have seen, the arguments and situation wholly depend on the fact that the spell caster has exactly the right spells for exactly the right situation. Yeah... No, that...

    Caravan adventure ideas

    Well, as you already mentioned. There is the roving bands of X that may be shadowing the caravan - which will raid for plunder, booty, or slaves. And depending on the strength of the caravan, these raids will be either skirmish events or full on assaults. And deriving from that, there is...
