I'm currently running the RPGA version. Two sessions in, and they JUST beat the gargoyle. Two PC deaths as well so far, both as a result of the Gargoyle taking advantage of the tomb's traps. One was killed when a cunning plan to introduce the gargoyle to the Devourer went awry when they forgot...

Definately at home. I forgot I still had Seoul as my location. Even the current location isn't home, that'd be Asheville, NC. My hometown is a pretty good gaming city, since it can support 3-4 gaming shops at any time despite being relatively small. Several major writers for White Wolf live in...

No, I don't mean the gaming cliche. I mean an actual bar. Inspired a bit by Yahtzee's Mana Bar, as well as my own observation that the game store camaraderie is quite comparable to tavern culture but tends to exclude the actual consumption of booze, I had a brilliant idea: A tabletop...

I had the most absurd, insane idea today, shown in the title. The idea came to mind when I saw an image on Kotaku of someone's photoshopped GTA/Spider-Man crossover, titled "Spider City." I started thinking of another famous spider city, and the idea just clicked. Obviously, without actual...

I'm going to treat this with seriousness, far more than it deserves. I'd almost say this is a fault with modern society that we believe romance = sex. Benjamin Franklin was a master of the chaste romance, chatting up the French ladies and being every bit the romantic without (by all accounts)...

Throw a trident? ;)

Simple answer, requiring no magic whatsoever, relies on this question: Does the warlock project his magic from his hands? If yes, it's easy. A special jacket that binds his arms so they can't move, with his hands bounds into fists, crossed, directly against his chest. He can still use his...

No, but none of the blows up until that point were particularly serious. They might've been light scratches, blows to armor that knocked the wind out of you and left bruises, a power hit to your shield that left your arm feeling numb, a flash burn that singed your hairs but hurt the skin no...

I find. Martial healing emphasizes the idea that has been around in D&D for years, that hit points are not necessarily just damage taken, but the yadda yadda, almost every other poster has said it. When virtually all healing was magic, it was easy to get in the mindset that a cure spell was...

In any system, there are going to be bits that don't make sense. I'm not talking about things that are broken or over/underpowered. I'm talking about things that just make you go "Huh?" Some of these are likely to come up in-game, and are well known (the prone gelatinous cube, for example)...

Re: Oots 0723 Fan theory, eh? ;) I can't believe I called it.

I can't dig it up right now, but I think he looks like Nale/Elan's father.

I think you should have a campaign arc drawn up first. Unless your city is a planar metropolis, there has to be something big going down, otherwise your characters will start to feel like big fish in a small pond by mid-paragon. After a while, regular humanoid criminals start to dry up and you...

New rule, no posting for me before 6AM.

Given the difficulties, I might even run it as a skill challenge. The characters need to get to their equipment while evading enemies and traps or making improvised weapons. Due to the difficulties involved with fighting unarmed and unarmored, it might be better if you make the unarmed fight a...
