    PCs that are too big for their britches...do they live or die?

    I had a campaign where this happened, killing them wouldn't have taught them a lesson (well it will teach the people a lesson but not the PC's). In my campaign, the BBEG basically kicked their asses and then bent them over and branded a horses ass on the butts of the players that had been...

    D&D 5E My New Players Have Quit 5th Edition

    From my read of the OP it sounds to me like he was upset that 1st level characters didn't start with enough hp's in his opinion and so he decided to prove it with his new players and most likely went out of his way to kill them to justify his feelings on the matter. In my book, a good GM is...

    D&D 5E So, Forgotten Realms...

    For me old and dated means, it's been pretty much the default setting since the 1980's. Many people have been there and down that countless times. Sure they move the timeline around a bit, mess the pot a bit and such, but it's still the same setting. It's like growing up next to Disney Land...

    D&D 5E So, Forgotten Realms...

    I certainly don't dislike the setting. I have TONS of reference material on it and have run (and played in) many FR set campaigns going back to 2nd edition. I just think it's time has past. The FR are the old Grand Pappy of the DnD universe and it's time to pass the torch on to a new young...

    D&D 5E So, Forgotten Realms...

    I'm probably in the minority, but I have to say I was really disappointed to 5th was going to be set in the Forgotten Realms. That setting has been around forever and I would have loved to see something fresh come out. To some extent I can understand why they did it, as it will allow them to...

    D&D 5E Collectors series miniatures

    If they were painted, I could perhaps see the price they are asking, but for unpainted, unassembled mini's, I think the price is way too high. Especially since I would be willing to bet (no offense to you painters out there) only a small percentage of people that paint these are going to get...

    D&D 5E Buying Adventures

    I've used a combination of homebrew and modules for the past 30+ years. I rarely run them as written though. Quite often, if I'm using a module and a player mentions they have played through it before I tell them, go ahead and use what you know about it in character. It can be something they...

    D&D 5E Buying Adventures

    I'm easily in the many hundreds, and if you count Dungeon Magazine, which I owned pretty much every issue ever released while in print, I'm probably over 1000. (I started playing in 1978). I used to work at a hobby store in my youth and pretty much my entire paycheck every payday went into...

    getting logged out a lot

    Nagol - Thanks for the tip! That seemed to do the trick. I just went afk while I did a bit of shopping and when I got back I was still logged on. Looks to be a great work around for now.

    getting logged out a lot

    Happening to me as well. Very annoying! If I spend any amount of time on one page by the time I click to go to the next page or go to a new thread, I'm already logged out.

    Itar's Workshop: Dungeon Terrain and Accessories (Great for 2D tiles)

    I have to agree as well. It seems like some of these KS's turn into a "I'll get to working on it when I can't think of anything else I want to do right now". Itar's ran almost a year ago and he still isn't even done making the molds yet. It's like WTF? I've pledged other KS's as well and in...

    Dwarven Forge's Caverns - Dwarvenite Game Tiles

    I have to agree. It kind of reminds me of the Reaper Mini's KS. The first one for both was absolute insanity of a awesome deal. You would have had to have been crazy not to get in on it if it had an interest to you. The second for both, while still a good deal, isn't the pure awesomeness of...

    Pathfinder 1E Searchable/filterable Pathfinder NPC database

    I'm not using the default background and for me the screen is coming up black with black text so it's near impossible to read. I guess I should elaborate. The results screen is coming up black on black. Not the initial screen.

    Diablo III

    I strongly disagree with this. I played for about 200 hours before finally giving up in frustration. On my first characters play though, I vowed never to use either of the Auction halls. It was an exercise in frustration. The first dozen or so levels were fine and then it started getting...

    Dwarven Scalped?

    They (Dwarven Forge) said they were having troubles with the website. As of now (Wed evening) everything is up and listed for sale.

    Bones II

    I lowered my pledge quite a bit today sadly. I dropped the Core and what I left in in case expansion 2 improved. While the Minotaur God is awesome, it's about the only think in it that interested me, so I'm not going to pay $50 for it. There was really only a couple of things in the core that...

    Bones II

    I'm definitely in on this one just not quite as excited. This one they seem to be trying a lot harder to monetize it than the last. Perhaps they felt they gave away too much with the first one, I don't know. I know they ended up eating up a huge chunk of their profits in the first one with...

    Bones II

    I've been a bit disappointed with this KS compared to the first one. Basically in the first one for $100 you were in for everything but the add-on's. This one To get the "core" you're looking at $250 for about the same amount of mini's. Up until today with Troll Slayer Sophie which is one...

    Bones II

    I would say it's partly the uncertainty and partly the fact that International is going to have to pay the actual costs for their shipping. Reaper had to pay something like 300K out of pocket for undercharging on Rest of World shipping on the first KS and they are making sure it doesn't happen...
