Read the OP and have to agree from a player's perspective. We were brutalized right from the get go. By the second encounter in we had two character deaths in a party of five. Started again with two freshly rolled characters to replace the deaders and played maybe five more encounters. Every...

There's a few adventures out there for 13th Age; Pelgrane Press Blood and Lightning (In the core rules) Crown of the Lich King Wyrd of the Wild Wood Quest in the Cathedral The Folding of Screamhaunt Castle Fan-made The Burrowing Dead The Burrowing Dead is free, Google it, the Pelgrane Press...

Yep, what Kinak said.

Hey Larcen, Adventure Kids looks like fun. I call dibs on the schoolyard bully. Pilsnerquest

Greywulf, has this thread ever caused you to think about geting a bunch of people together and mashing out a set of not necsserily D20 compliant rules? Pilsnerquest

Hah! I don't blame you, sometimes I don't even go through with it for myself. Lately for 3.5 it's been "fighter", "toughness" for all feats, low enough INT so there's no skill computing, armor/shield/weapon, "Bam!", done. Pilsnerquest

Maptools is free. Maps, chat, dice rolling and easy enough for me to figure it out in about 10 minutes. Fantasy Grounds is like $35 for the DM version and $20 for a player (one-time payment). Sweet program that seems pretty popular. Four Ugly Monsters is running a convention, for free...

Okay, I'll play devil's advocate for the last two posts. Now, I personally don't give a rat's arse about how much party resources should be used in one encounter but 42% compared to the recommended 25% is most definitely a point. Again, that's only if you feel the percentile in a certain $29.95...

VTT's (virtual tabletops) will devour the gaming scene. Pilsnerquest

Checked out the "New Gods" campaign and it looks pretty nifty. The way it can be interwoven with the d20 skills, feats, races, monsters, etc. especially stood out. And those poor sterile male Pans watching the human males mate with their female Pans, the humanity! Or panity rather. Pilsnerquest

It occurs to me that if we were all put into a locked room and told to come up with one set of relatively agreed upon rpg rules we would probably all end up in a giant brawl or worse. I would like to have been a fly on the wall when the guys came up with Chainmail. Pilsnerquest

I second this idea. Pilsner

I suppose the loss of hit points for casting the buffs would be the main balancing factor. How many hit points would a mage lose for keeping up a higher AC and attack? Pilsnerquest
