The solution is to get your DM to waive restrictions if your character fits the "flavor" of the class, if not the actual mechanical requirements. When the rules are adhered to too strictly, they become a noose around the neck of fun.

I don't typically buy 3PP, but I would if ever there was anything as awesome as the chaos chart. Totesmagotes, you ought to expand and publish that jank.

I just mentioned this in another thread, but you need to look At The Jester's Insane Chaos Chart from 2002: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?20108-chaos-generator/page4&p=3965027&viewfull=1#post3965027 (links to a 2007 post compiling the charts) My gaming group has used it in...

TSR didn't invent the OGL, the SRD, or the d20 system. These are WotC innovations. WotC bought a dying game and brought it back to life. Hate them or love them, at least give them that​ much credit.

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus looks quite green in the face as he struggles to contain the bile in his throat. "Gods," he says, "we are NOT riding back through that gate. When it's time to return home, we are taking the long way." He tries to pick up the pace a bit to get away from...

I'll sell you my copy of Basic for $100. Or 100 pounds if you live in the UK.

Also, Far Realms = time to pull out the ol' Jester's Insane Chaos Chart. It's like campaign crack. :lol:

Duergar with blaster rifles and power armor? :] Could be RBDM moment.

Ah, but that's the beauty of it; it's so cliche that no one ever uses it. Ever, at least IMHXP.

So I've gotta a little obsessed with "Jaquaying the dungeon", and I've been thinking about how to apply those general principals to adventure design, in general, to change linear adventure paths into proper sand-boxes. I've also been inspired by Sly Flourish's "The Lazy Dungeon Master", which...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus growls at the new commotion. "I have simply had enough of this!" he says under his breath. He presses the horse forward, and intends to ride right past the trog, with a politic, if somewhat trite, salutary gesture. Fortitude save vs sickened...

Ok, so what about the $13 it will actually cost you? http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Starter-Set-Fundamentals/dp/0786965592

Why so? Seems to me the Starter set is aimed squarely at you.

If they were going to go the DRM route, I think we would have seen it in the preview materials on D&D Classics by now, if only as a testbed. No, I suspect there will not be any more DRM than a watermark.

The only reason anyone would pay MSRP is out of loyalty to their favorite FLGS. I buy through Amazon and I have never paid MSRP for a gaming book. And I buy many.

I hope that the "players can make characters" line for the Starter Edition is an indicator here; if there are no char-gen rules in the box, they will have to be somewhere. An OGL or OGL-like license with an SRD would accomplish this easily.

Movies and D&D are comparable for me because I enjoy them both. Soccer, not so much. Now, if you are REALLY into soccer, you're going to buy cleats, shorts, and an overpriced team shirt of your choice, so I suspect the cost of truly investing in the hobby is likely more comparable than you...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion The sudden odoriferous assault on Darvus's senses threatens to overwhelm him, but he manages to keep control of his stomach and press on. "Ye Gods," he says, "What a stench!" Fortitude save vs sickened: 1d20+3=10 Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11...

Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus is initially concerned about the health of the cleric, but after seeing him dust himself off, he nods affirmatively do himself and continues to set pace at the front. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11 touch) HP: 11/11 CMB: +5 CMD: 16 Fort: +3...

The first Transformers was what it needed to be. I didn't want an Oscar contender; I wanted huge frikkin robots smashing the crap out of each other. My needs with respect to D&D are similar.
