My style is vastly different I run what a call an "evolving sandbox" I create dozens (if not hundreds) of NPCs complete with traits, motivations & plans, create many exciting locales complete with histories, create tables to account for changes over time to the NPCs and setting locales, make...

I ban stuff in games I run all the time, and there isn't any give and take - I'm devoting dozens of hours of my time to continuously developing a realistic (within the genre), evolving, vibrant, living world/setting. If I say no psionics/elves/xyz - than that's that. I have far more invested in...

Mouseguard?

The best one I have isn't even me. Me and three other friends(2 of which are brothers) are playing, back in the 2e days. One of the two brothers is the DM, the other is playing a skills & powers cleric, that can cast evocation spells. As brothers are wont to do they have been having petty...

Another piece of FR excrement, yay. I wish they would publish something either: A) interesting or B) original.

Ask and you shall receive: Dice probability generator - FAN MADE TOOL If you play around with it, you should get some idea of what each die offers.

My wife doesn't get it, and teases me mercilessly about it, but will allow me to splurge on the occassional RPG item. She hasn't shown any direct interest yet, but does play video game RPGs, I think it's the roleplaying - talking in character that throws her.

Fiddly bits/components - cards, tokens, standups, stance meters, etc They released a players, gm and monster guide that contain all of the info released thus far (all the expansions and some new monsters in the monster book); They do not include any of the components, the idea is to enable...

The new guide books give the option to play without the fiddly bits if your not a fan of them (they contain all the info on the cards & etc). Haven't heard if these clean up the organization though.

Love it, the system runs great once you put in the effort to really grasp the rules (admittedly the book is poorly organized) and play 3 to 5 sessions. The variety of outcomes from a single die roll is amazing, far beyond a simple pass/fail that every other system uses and its easy to rule...

It would be sad that a game that has been around so long died, so near 40th anniversary too. But the games would continue I have all the 2e, 4e and WHFRP 3e stuff I need to have games til I croak.

My next character is so going to use a bohemian ear spoon (1d1-1 damage).

The CCG company wants to make D&D into one? --shocking. I imagine this is but the first step - race & class boosters coming soon to a store near you............

To escape the 3/4e edition war on the WOTC forums, don't post much, just lots of daily thread stalking.

What of a neither or other option? I'm starting a 2e game soon for example and just wrapped a WHFRP 3e game.

Meh. I was into 4e at first, I thought it opened up some space for roleplaying with less rules for such. But as play went on it became apparant combat was too long (1 hr + for the simplest of fights - midigated occassionally by heavy DM houseruling - we had a few session of 20-30 min fights, but...

What is it? Is it a an adventure saga like war of the burning sky or is it a campaign setting? both? More details please. (I assume the slow roll is a tease and I'm not really expecting an answer)

-Books for system I'm running -Appropriate GM screen -Dice -Extra Character sheets -Extra Mechanical Pencils -Chessex Battlemat -Wet erase markers -Poker chips (in 3 colors - very cheap) for tracking PC HP & surges if 4e -PC minis -Small selection of NPC minis -usually generic enough for most...

No one recommends the actual PHB? Is essentials truly 4.5 then? (not a 4e hater, its a legit Q)

The Black Company series when I was 10, D&D cemented things when I was 13 (2e).
