Nobody in my group has an insider account. A year ago, we were all sharing one and splitting the cost, but now we just use the books.

Pathfinder and GURPS

I just moved to Arizona, and I'm seeking a group who wouldn't mind having another player for it's Pathfinder, GURPS, or 4E game. I'm willing to try other games as well, but I'd probably need a crash course on the rules. I also DM, but I'd like to get to know everyone a bit before I jump in and...

Parties should fill all of the roles as well as possible.

I agree with you on this. In fact, I would argue that ALL HP loss is caused by damage. When you hit with an attack, you roll damage. When you fall 10+ feet, you roll damage. I can't fathom how one can translate that into "See, the attack didn't really hit, and the fall didn't really hurt. You...

It seems like Dragon Age still had the advantage of having a finite number of choices to make such "railroading" easier. I don't remember being able to set the tavern on fire or make a pass at Morrigan's mother. At a table, players can and will make decisions that you didn't anticipate. This is...

You are correct.

I am wondering the same exact thing. Feel free to PM me your rates.

This. I can't give you XP from my iPhone app, so I owe you one. : )

A lie of ommision is still a lie. This very idea is a principled topic in ethics courses.

Wow! What meaningful responses from everyone. I think a few of the latter posts really touched on what I feel I am doing. I really do think I'm trying very hard to trump my previous work. I'm gonna try winding down a little and just writing, as was suggested a few times. Honestly, everyone had...

I ran an Eberron one-shot a few months ago. A few months before that, I ran a 10-session adventure that ended when I moved out of state. Since then, I've just been trying to come up with something believable for a long campaign. I can link scenarios well, but lately I've been overly-concerned...

I usually write whenever I happen to have a cool NPC motivation, ideas for a great setting, or some interesting plot ideas. Maybe writer's block isn't what I should call it. I just feel the urge to write an adventure, but once I sit down to do it, I become quickly disinterested. At some point...

It's been a year since I've written anything adventure-related. I've been trying to scratch that itch for awhile, but every time I sit down to write, the inspiration seems to fade so quickly. I used to crank out adventures like it was nothing. Now, just designing encounters is a difficult task...

Ah. That doesn't show up in the app I use, so that clears it up. Thank you. : )

I wasn't even aware that awarding XP was something real. I thought when people mentioned giving someone XP, it was just a cultural way of saying "great post". Which it is... Except it's more than that, I realize now. How does one do this? I post from my phone, which may be why I don't see the...

Is-Ought Problem: 4E's classes are balanced, and they must remain balanced to be fun. Bare Assertion: Person A: 4E is the most balanced version of D&D. Person B: I agree. Edit: I have no animosity towards 4E. These were simply examples.

Ah. I hadn't realized. Thanks for the insights, everyone! : )

You review is just what I was looking for. It was very insightful, and I like that you touched on skill challenges - I sometimes have trouble eyeballing their difficulty. You also make a good point about high-level play. Although I don't particularly mind meddling with 3.5's multitude of...

I've been scratching my head over whether or not to pick up WotBS. I'm wondering what those of you who have had a chance to read through / run the campaign (to any extent) think of it. I'm interested in running either version (3.5 or 4E), but if anyone can offer some insights on how...
