I actually run a 'token store' at my table. Tokens are poker chips. I hand them out for things like showing up with your dice and a character sheet, fast combat turns and, you guessed it, good RP. The chips can be redeemed for tangible in-game rewards, like adding one to a dice roll, re-rolling...

Sorry. Gnomes = :rant::rant::rant:.

Well, since you've already made up your mind that everybody is out to get you, why even start this thread?

At-Wills, Encounters, Dailies and Utilities. The four types of powers in 4e.

Don't forget psionics from the PHB3. I thought the point system and the augments were clever. At the end of the day what you want is for every class to a) have a selection of interesting options and b) not have a bunch of wildly divergent subsystems. The latter is hard for a DM to deal with and...

I have not been impressed with J.J.'s new Star Trek films. They're fine action movies, but they're not Trek. I have some forebodings about having him take on Star Wars.

Sure. It's definitely not a clone. It has its own elements, especially the storytelling tools, which are something you'll probably never see in ANY edition of D&D. Which, honestly, is too bad, but it is what it is. But what I really like about 13A is that it borrows a lot of the things that I...

So what do you call the short, bearded men who live underground??

What I take away from this is that you actually oppose the idea of core races! I guess from my perspective, core races are races that a player can assume will be allowed at virtually any table. Obviously there will be exceptions, but those will be rare. Pretty much every list on this thread...

Well, these kind of things are subjective, but here's just a few of the things 13th Age has in common with 4e: - Positional combat (13A's is much more rules-lite than 4e's, but it exists and it offers tactical options nonetheless). - A 'bloodied' status ('staggered'). - Healing surges...

Unless your land comes with a hereditary title, I don't think it counts.

It's not a clone, but 13th Age builds on a lot of 4e concepts.

It's worth noting that people in the US and UK pretty much mean two different things with the term 'middle class'. In the US, pretty much everyone considers themselves to be 'middle class' if they are not a) rich or b) poor. 'Middle class' seems to mean something a little more upper crust in the UK.

A big tech-rumor is making the rounds this morning: Windows 8 sales have been so far below expectations that Microsoft is rushing out Windows 9. Mind you, this is not officially confirmed. Take it for what it's worth. Read.

Honestly, it sounds to me like you are a little paranoid about the legal system. IANAL, but from what I understand taking precautions can NOT be used as an admission of liability against you. I also don't think her insurance company is likely to sue you unless they incur huge costs that they...

'Old actor' being the operative phrase here. All of the actors are now 35 years older than they were when the first film came out. I don't want to see Grandpa Luke and Grandma Leia anymore than I wanted to see Grandpa Indy...

For good or ill, 'classic' D&D has always leaned heavily on combat and given only a little thought to exploration and virtually none to interaction. You could certainly make an edition of D&D that fixed that, but then people would complain that you were turning D&D into a 'storytelling' game...

Word.

If I get to play a Grumpy Cat Cleric I will endorse you as lead designer for 6e!

I seem to recall that the new monster math showed up around the time the Dark Sun books were published, so everything after that should use it. Pretty sure that encompasses GW.
