Not necessarily. Steam Boxes run the SteamOS, which is a fork of Linux. Very few games in the Steam library are currently compiled for Linux. That may change, but it's unlikely that you will instantly have access to your entire game library if you buy a Steambox.

Oh okay, sorry. Presumably if your class is vampire you're assumed to be a vampire? Anyway, I wasn't aware there WAS a half-vampire. It does occur to me, though, that you could take revenant, which allows you to select any other race as your 'race from a previous life', and have that be...

But this thread was suggested to me while I was in the Gnomes what are they good for thread! And it was too hilarious to pass up.

Well in 4e there are also vampire bloodline feats, I believe, so you could throw that in too...

The Vampire class was just embarrassing. It doesn't even make sense. Vampire should be a race! Wait, you say, but there WAS a 4e vampire race, the Vryloka. Released in the same book. So you could play a vampire vampire. To appeal to the emo goth kid who would rather be playing World of Darkness...

Given that 13th Age is releasing books and 4e is not, I think it's going to appeal to a lot of them. 13th Age will also appeal to 4e players who: - Appreciate the elegance of the 4e ruleset but are getting tired of hauling out the battle mat for every single combat. - Enjoy tactical combat but...

I love me some Steam. I've always been a PC gamer at heart, and Steam has brought many of the good things about console gaming to the PC. So I've been very interested in Valve's development of a 'Steam machine' for the living room. This week at CES, Valve has officially unveiled not one, not...

Curie.

My crazy gnome theory OK, you all ready to hear my crazy theory about gnomes? Of course you are. Here it is: gnomes aren't really a race. Gnomes are two sub-races. The first gnomes are a sub-race of dwarves with an emphasis on mechanical prowess and tinkering. They still live underground but...

Great, so now I've injected hippy Disney into my game. :p I dunno... the allies with the biggest gardens? Wait I thought they lived underground. Now I'm confused. Follow up question: who makes the gnomes all their pointy hats?!?

That's an interesting way to categorize familiarity with the game. If you need a concrete example for 'Apprentice', I'd say it's when the player knows to pick up their D20 when they're about to roll an attack or a check. I've taken several groups through 4e and haven't seen the problems you...

THIS. And this is what worries me about 5e. The time they're taking to develop it suggests they don't have a clear idea of what they're doing.

So in 1e, gnomes and dwarves could use oversize weapons... because they were fat?!? *boggles*

Alas, as it turned out Gnomes were in the PHB2, and in 4e all books really ARE core, so no goodbye party; we have to put up with gnomes and their gnomesense for the forseeable future!

Yeah I'm not really knocking them mechanically. I'm most familiar with the 4e lawn ornament, er, gnome, which could turn invisible for a turn at first level. Not too shabby, but that's not what bugs me about 'em. Like you said, they're a mish-mash of traits that elves/dwarves/halflings aren't...

Eh, all of those except the wandering gypsies are already in Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins was a fast-talking burglar, Smeagol was one of the river folk. I think 'halfling' stretches far enough to cover all those definitions. Which is why it's a legitimate race. That's interesting, I did not know...

YOUR mother was a kender! And your grandfather smelt of elderberries! :p See, to me 'trickster bard' and 'mad scientists' are character types. They're not an entire race. Are ALL gnomes trickster bards and mad scientists? Because that would make for one doomed race. I feel like I could...

I don't know how you think this disproves what I'm saying. It shows exactly what I'm talking about. By the most generous of those maps, there are about fifty places that take bitcoin in the entire United States. And they are spread all over, so most of them are not going to be anywhere near...
