I have played every edition and I have yet to see a DM not have to apply special effort in designing encounters for the party he is DMing. Unless you have a by the book party of four no power gamers ,no prestige classes ,no multiclassing munchkins and you have the four bases of arcane, divine...

I am trying to find a way to answer this in a way that won't get me a vacation from the forum. The arrogance of your post is over the top. First of all most of us are aware that yes there is a budget for publishing and that not everything we want will get published. Second you seem to think your...

That is a simple fair rule 50/50 chance. I would have no issue with this. One of my issues with all skills is how they get easily maxed out. We house ruled that a 1 is a -10 and 20 is a +10.

I know that Glen Larson has wanted to bring his version to the big screen. I would not mind that it is a great story and I liked the mythology of the original more than the reboot. Take away the trappings of the 70s way if doing SF TV and it really is good space opera. I just hope they stay...

There are many things I enjoyed about 2E as others have mentioned i was a huge fan of the Specialty Priests. They gave such flavor and contrast. In 3E priests are all cookie cut from the same mold the domains don't do much to change that. I was also a huge fan of the Bladesinger class. I...

I disagree I have played and run many games from AD&D to 3E set in the Dragonlance setting. I know I will run more in the future. I have never understand why when people don't like something they think it shouldn't be made. It easn't it easier to notjust buy it and let the people who enjoy...

It seems you are taking this way to personal. My point is the same as others that either can be lost. Though I think for me losing hardback books would be harder than losing an ebook. I would be devastated if I lost my autograph books.

I am looking forward to learning Hero system. I think it would be the perfect system to run my Xena style Ancient fantasy Greek game. I tried to run it using a D20 supplement and it didn't have the feel I was going for. I will most likely have a lot of questions Saturday after we get together...

I used to be anti e book until I actually started reading them. I read on two devices my phone and a tablet that cost 55 dollars. Now granted my tablet only has four hours of battery life but since I read at home on it it is no big deal. My roommate has a Nook and she gets days of battery life...

Thanks for the insight and information. I talked briefly with the DM on Tuesday he drove me for my cataract surgery. It is not that he does not like DnD as a player he enjoys 3E but not as a DM. He says he finds it to restrictive. For example he wanted to throw werewolves at us so he did and...

Thanks for the insight. My issue is coming with the goodies I get with my classes like scribe scroll, the things my familiar gives me like bonuses to my intuitive so I can actually get a chance to go before the melee types run in and clog the battle field so my area spells become useless, the...

I play a lot of mages and I have dealt with the make spells take longer than the RAW and for the most part it made me and the rest of the party crazy. Take fireball a lot can happen in three rounds the combat can end, situations change making casting fireball not a good idea. Do you have any...

I have not played a lot of Hero system and when I did it was back in the days of Champion. I have played a few sessions of Fantasy Hero back in 2002. My DM has a lot of experience with Hero, and Ad&D as a DM he has only DMed one 3E game before. He is struggling with it and feels that hero would...

It really depends if I am playing a standard fantasy and there has been no hints and then boom we have a SF element I don't like that. I actually enjoy worlds where they are now fantasy but were one advanced civilizations that have fallen like Thundarr. I actually played in a great Thundarr...

No it is not the UK in 2009 it is a UK which has numerous incidents with alien species and know what they are capable of. So taking that into consideration especially after the attack of the daleks which wiped out UNIT and took down the big flying carrier that UNIT had the attacks of the...

When I hear the term necromancer I think someone who has power over the dead. Now I don't expect low level necromancers to control huge hoards of undead. I think it would be cool to animate temporarily wasps, rats like you suggested and build from there. I would also give them control undead...

The problem with this is that the stop and smelling the roses style play is leveling very quickly and that can lead to the game getting to high levels and the DM saying enough, The other is just making the other style more miserable more impatient and telling them how dare you play in...

In my case I believe giving up two schools of other magic to be a necromancer should give you more than it does. I am not saying animating dead at first level but how about being able to control them at some level at first level. Or if you allow animate maybe start small like small animals...

I wish that was true but it is not. Look at how many children have died in wars. The vikings would slaughter entire villages including the children. The Germans didn't care that their bombs were killing children the allies didn't care about how many children died in the bombing of Dresden. It...

I have noticed that I am now in the camp of can we hurry up and level. My reason is I am deathly sick of the lower grind levels. I have been playing the game for years now and it sometimes gets frustrating to wait to truly be able to play your concept. And many times games have fizzled before...
