Veeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy Interesting...... in hindsight it seems obvious, but in hindsight most things seem obvious

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (The Fine Art of Dungeon Mastering) Discuss!!!

and seriously two minutes after I post this......

It's nice to have a group that will read that stuff. I have an OP wiki as well and have put bunch of info into it, [mind you no where the detail you have] and I don't think anyone in my group has even looked at it.

It's Tuesday.....Man I hate it when WotC gets behind with their articles

congrats, very detailed. How does your group keep up with all the NPCs?

My point was more that player character gen is pretty fast with SW and you could make NPCs like you make PCs and it still would be a pretty fast process.

Yes you could do that. However I am of the opinion that if you have to hand wave how things work just to make it playable, then maybe you should reconsider the game your playing.

#1. Unless your savage worlds or a similar crunch game, don't make me go through the hoops of making an NPC that the players have to go through. 3.x/d20/PF I'm looking at you. I like games where NPCs break the rules somewhat IMHO this is one the strengths of D&D 4e. #2. Long combats #3. Rules...

Your rolling 2d12 if I remember correctly What is the appeal of the d12? I dislike d10 games (unless it's a dice pool), the d10 seems so close to the d12.

Lots of options, I'm leaning towards Savage Worlds as I'm familiar with the rules

Our current DM is unable to make it to our next game. What we have talked about in the past is playing a one shot of some game the nights this happens. I know that some game companies do a "trial version" of their game with a short adventure, some pre-gens and a enough rules needed to play the...

Another thought, this approach makes D&D more "gear focused". ie. The Wizard packs some (pythons) pitons to gain a +1 bump up the skill ladder for climb checks, The Fighter packs some noble clothing to give her a boost up the skill ladder for Diplomacy checks. This makes character creation a bit...

The system has merit, but I think that it needs some tweaking to make it really work. I have been reading both sides of the discussion and can see points that both sides are presenting. For example, I'm playing in a mekton mecha game; my character was taking part in academy wargames and was...

gotta spread some more xp. Yeah, the action point thing isn't a bad idea. I'm not so sure about ditching the dice roll, but...yeah at first I wasn't so sure abou tthis idea, but the more I think about it the more I like it. I really like rewarding clever play, and having action points to help...

I will admit I had hoped that he had more of a focus than it appears that he has. I agree this seems to be like you said "A lot of solution for not much of a problem". Especially when there are bigger fish to fry as far as D&D goes.

I get what you're saying, I just don't really see the difference between this hypothetical skill system and what we have currently. Arguments are still as likely to erupt over DCs, the DM says that it’s a DC 25 and the player argues it should be a 20. For this situation the DC 25 could just be...

Hmmm interesting. I find the idea intriguing, however as often tend to find myself in the minority with views, opinions, etc, I suspect the majority would hate it.

I listened to the new product seminar and I think that Mike Mearls really cares about D&D , I gotta say just listening to him being open about mistakes of the past has got me hopeful for the future. I actually think that he might be the guy to mend a lot of bridges.
