    DC/VA/MD ENW Gameday [Cleveland Park, October 27 @ 9:30]

    Hello, I attended the very first ENWorld game day at UMD, running a D&D 3.5 game during the first half of the day. I would love to attend another one, but my current schedule only leave Sundays open. I would also prefer it be kept in Virginia, as coming from Leesburg to Alexandria is about...

    ToB-BoNS Maneuver & Stance Card Template

    Attached you will find a template for generic Tome of Battle - Book of Nine Swords Maneuver & Stance Card Template. I kept it pretty simple (no fancy artwork or gradient colors) since most people don't have access to color printers. There are a few colors, so just use the grayscale mode of...

    What language is the Common of our world?

    It's English by far; everyone of my relatives in Peru learned english as their second language. Working for a large corporation, our German offices hold their meetings in english, even when its just Germans in the meetings. We don't have a single italian speaker, but when we meet with our...

    D&D 4E 4E requisites

    FWIW I believe 4th edition will come sooner than later; 2008-2009. For one I very highly doubt that WOTC (or Hasbro) will wait until 3.5 product sales decline. I believe it would be better to introduce a major refresh of the ruleset while the game is still popular and not in a market decline...

    Web supplements or smaller font

    Depending on how much smaller, it could still potentially mean that they would have to add more content, thus increasing their development (writers, editors, layout, etc.) costs. Which would mean an increase in the book's retail price, even at 160 pages. It's a fine line they play with the...

    Point buy

    It's not every DM I have with played, just some and IMO those probably lacking experience. Though you often find complaints in the "What's a DM to do?" board over on WOTC board about "over-powered" players and DMs learning to mitigate problems with players wiping encounters several levels above...

    Point buy

    As a DM I prefer 25 PB (baseline), I don't have to do anything to change the monsters CR, ECL impact, or the DCs of skills and other challenges With 28 PB, I sometimes tweat the monsters to compensate, intead of monster's base 18-22 PB, I increase to 22-25 PB, give them a couple more skill...

    Do You Prefer 4 Or More Players (+ DM) When RPGing?

    After 25+ years of DMing I find my minimum is 3 players (and running 2 PCs each) or 6 players (1 PC each) mine maximum. I run a "realistic" (about as real as a fantasy game can get) and pretty lethal worlds. While it my be months between a PC's death, it does happen and multiple PC deaths in a...

    NEW FEAT FORMAT: Do you think it'll happen?

    Yes, but not like you are inferring. I believe we are going to see more feats with multiple functions/options built-in. Simliar to the combat feats from CW. Something Andy Collins said on his board about "tiers/level" of feats... So you will have simple low level feats like Weapon Focus up to...

    Is it time for a low-magic setting?

    One of the best games I played in AD&D 2nd edition was "very" low magic. We got to 5th level and no one had any magic items! It lasted for about 6 months. It was played in the game palor in Chantilly Virgina. He was a great DM, real-life issues I believe made him move out of the area. He had...

    Whose Enjoyment Matters Most?

    Voted equally If the DM is not having fun, he should confer with his players about what he does not like about the game and hopefully make changes where he would enjoy the game. Else he should quit and find a group of players that would enjoy his DMing style. The same for players, they should...

    Weapon Mastery wording problem?

    They stack If you want an official confirmation send in a letter to the Sage in Dragon Magazine or you can read Andy Collin's comments on WOTC's thinking behind PH2's feats. Source: http://p198.ezboard.com/fgameschat19968frm10.showMessageRange?topicID=1042.topic&start=1&stop=20

    Politics interfering with gaming

    It is not a problem in either of my two groups. In the large group (9 players) that I have been playing with for the last 5+ years, I believe because part of the group is ex-military (myself included) and the rest by fate or luck, are all right of center. So its not a potential souce of...

    Economics of a 4th Edition

    Sorry, but no Hasbro executive will try to directly control "Wizards" game division “D&D” sub-division directly, with a small business it might work that way, but Hasbro is a large corporation. That level of micromanagement is just not possible. Just look at the Hasbro financial reports for...

    A D&D 3.5 MMORPG

    Well you see that already, on a few occassions someone will drop out of a group to go play with a friend, brother or guild mate, but its pretty rare. The great majority are not in guilds. Despite the wipes and playing other alts, after 3 months you recognize names or name patterns of preferred...
