I too had no desire to watch others roleplay. But at the moment I'm doing hours of data entry each day and music is getting repetitive and boring. This show/ these voice actors are akin to a book on tape, and much funnier!

Fort Wayne, IN Lake Geneva, WI Madison, WI Columbus, OH Half of these cons are in the north Midwest... within driving distance of each other, and 2 of them are only an hour apart.

Although I agree "bloat" is subjective, under this interpretation of bloat D&D 5th is already bloated with it's tyranny of dragons, elements, demon etc... adventure/ rule supplements.

I don't really think we can use the word bloat yet.. Maybe matured? I mean in the 3.0/3.5 days D&D had hundreds of rule supplements... That was bloat! I'm guessing Pathfinder has around 20 rule supplements? Although I do like the simplicity of D&D 5th I also like being able to play...

That sounds like the 2nd edition I'd want to play (I had 2 year long game ruined by the aliens... they sounded cool...)! I hope you can get the rules under control. Out of the box 7th sea was awesome, but as time went on it required at least a half a dozen house rules to fix issues that made...

After watching John's video on Chess and RPG's I think I understand why 7th sea is still my favorite rpg. The game is built of stories and adventures. It was only afterwards did they try to attach some rules to it... I hope John does some open play tests because there was a lot of game...

I just about wet myself. Finally a chance for updated rules and new material!

Maybe its time for AEG to let go of 7th sea? Please :(

I don't even like plastic miniatures, but I couldn't resist the Tiamat... So awesome!

I haven't ever dealt with bones miscasts as I am not a fan of plastic miniatures, but I have dealt with Reaper's customer service and they are terrific. Just 3 months ago I bought a miniature with a missing piece in the box. I had the replacement mailed to me within a week at no charge.

I had a Rogue modron Chaosmen Bard who paraded around with a one-man-band instrument/ attire. As for as I know they never made a modron mini, so after a dozen games getting stuck using a D6 I finally made my own... From a D6 http://imgur.com/rAs84Rj

You want to dig into the Planescape setting for AD&D 2nd edition. The Great Modron March was the "modron" Multi-part adventure. The Planes of Law box set had an entire book devoted to Mechanus. The core Planescape box set provided player rogue modron builds and some useful brief information...

I grew up on 2nd ed psionics, so when I saw the 3.0/3.5 version it was a big disappointment. Powers shouldn't be "see ____ spell for a description." Psionics should feel and function like a completely different system.

I've used Roll20/ google hangouts to play pathfinder with some old buddies from college. Its pretty easy to use, runs great!
