I kinda wish the staircase had levels to accommodate figures instead of being realistic, but still very cool.

From my experience with the original West End Games (WEG) version and the Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) versions, I think for youngsters they each have drawbacks and benefits. The d6 version can be good for not having to do much explaining regarding how to read the dice. Then again, the FFG...

I figured this thread would stink, but we can't all come up smelling like roses. In fact, I would recommend googling/searching Enworld for a thread some years ago for a play by play of a 3E Dungeon Magazine adventure called "The Stink". My friend Monte Lin wrote it and an ENWorlder posted his...

Has anyone set eyes on the info in this teaser: https://twitter.com/chrisperkinsdnd/status/596480620466868224

Yes, a week or 2 ago I googled something to find a WotC article, (exact article escapes me now, but I think it was Elemental Apocalypse related) and got the opportunity to take their survey. I told them the site was "pretty" but too hard to find anything.

So I have a friend writing a scene who asked just that question. The characters in the scene say something to the effect, "this game sucked and then they came out with the expansion and that made all the difference". In emailing friends, we can't seem to find a game we think falls into this...

First, I will point out that CoC and horror RPG's in general are not in my wheelhouse. I'm playing because I like the people I'm playing with. We are currently on hiatus, but if I had to guess, about 3/5th of the way through. We actually started our campaign in America, made out way to...

Suddenly I feel the need to check and change some of my spell choices. Fortunately my wizard just found his first enemy spellbook, so now I see the need to read them over closely before going with the usual suspects.

I think you could compare the occultist to the psychic warrior from the Expanded Psionics Handbook or the Inquisitor or a hybrid. Its purpose, well, I guess that is something like the generalist occult class, but I have not read it closely enough to know if I'm on the right track.

I've been playing DnD and/or a derivative for over 20 years and I do not believe I have ever completed a superdungeon, or the more recent invention of an Adventure Path or the predecessor of linked modules. I know we tried Temple of Elemental Evil but it went off rails into a planar adventure...

It was my perspective, possibly flawed, that Free RPG Day has some fatigue in the SF Bay Area. I checked the retail locator and found the 2 most likely places I would go to were Games of Berkeley and Black Diamond Games. Anything else required a navigational aide or paying a toll. In previous...

Pickled as in preserved, by going back in time 1000 years. And it sounds like the BBEG wanted to collect them like trophies, stuffed, perhaps in pickling brine.

One of the game stores I tend to pay attention to is Black Diamond Games in Concord, CA. I game with Gary, the owner, and have for over a decade, including before he threw his hat into the game store ring. Now they are looking to increase their play area by building a mezzanine level. Here...

I'm looking for a d20 or Pathfinder creature or spell or ability that provides a short array of weird powers or changes to a character, possibly against his/her wishes. But I'm not interested in rehashing wild/chaos magic random effects. I'm less interested in changing spells being cast than...

Rest in peace Edena of Neith.
