    Chicago Gameday IX is Oct 23rd: THE AFTERMATH...

    SIGN ME UP! Breakfast! Strawberry pancakes! Mmmmm! :) Slot two, game two! (That should make J.D. feel better ;) and OA always has a lot of butts that need kicking with style!) I'm undecided for slot one, but I will bring my painting stuff. We'll see how the morning develops, and if none...

    fed up with mini randomness...back to counters? (teeny-tiny rant)

    Does anybody have suggestions as to where to buy bunches of the common or uncommon figs online? I wouldn't mind a horde of kobolds or skeletal dogs myself.

    Online Mini Shopping?

    Fantization has some of the more high end and hard to find minis and materials like Hasselfree minis, and Hudson & Allen forest litter (tiny leaves for your bases). Their customer service is excellent. :cool:

    Large Sword questions....

    Half giants are in the XPH, and the 3.5 SRD as well now. They are medium creatures that can use large weapons without penalty. I'm quite enjoying my half giant barbarian ranger at the moment, and although his AC can become vulnerable depending on the conditions, I like the ability to do the...

    "All Power Attack, All the Time?"

    Because my half-giant barbarian with his large greatsword loves to see a guy go down in one shot. It makes a statement to all the surviving bad guys, "who's next?!" The other main reason is that I don't like redoing my math every combat round. I write out my attack/damage for when I use max...

    Arcane Trickster (3e) any good?

    With arcane trickster, I found that I was able to concentrate my skill points better as a rogue. No more opening lock points; I use knock spells. Less hiding rolls (still useful sometimes if you think they can see invis though); I use invisibility. No more UMD (still useful if you want to use...

    Dwarf Fighter vs. Warforged Fighter: Which for you?

    A half-giant fighter from the XPH allows you to use a large greatsword (3d6 base damage). It costs a level adjustment of +1, but it's certainly worth it IMO if you want to be a pure fighter. Racial adjustments are +2 STR, +2 CON, -2 DEX. Other benefits include being treated as a size-category...

    No LONGER dead to me.

    They answer your question in the editorial in #113. No, it won't be back on newsstands as a standalone magazine. It's not financially viable. Maybe as a web-zine, it may show up. The loss of subscriptions from attaching Poly to Dungeon did a fair amount of damage to Paizo. But even more...

    Absent Players

    I say point him to this thread, and then ask him how he would like to handle it. Or, don't point him to the thread, but lay out the facts for him, and tell him to make a choice between his two games. It's not unfair to ask your player to choose. :]

    Dungeon #113. Anyone seen it yet?

    I thought the top guy at Paizo was looking into fixing that problem over a month ago--at least, that's what he said. Paizo lied to me once. It's going to be a while before I subscribe again, but stuff like that is just another reason to not subscribe anytime in the near future.

    OT - From the news: plot and ideas

    Woman gives birth to frog. It's freakin' blue! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3844441.stm It's crazy stuff like this that I will shoehorn into my campaign one way or another. :D

    [RPG] Clan Xaositects - recruitment, requests, recommendations, etc...

    right now I'm just gaining interest from my bank. Its not exciting, but it beats spending all my cash on healing potions, or grinding out easy battles so i can level. The xp award system needs to be adjusted. It feels like i am better off buying all defensive items, and staying in the fight...

    Chicago Gameday: Read about what you missed

    Unless you're a big eater, $8-14 should cover breakfast and tip. Separate tabs keeps things easy for everyone. I think OJ refills might cost extra, but I'm not 100% certain. As for driving distance, I'd recommend using mapquest to estimate distance/time, and then add 15 min to be safe. You...

    meta punishment

    I see it as more of a DM responsibility to set the pace when it comes to metagaming. If the DM won't buy into it, that metagaming is a bad thing, then things aren't likely to improve. Changing things mid-campaign can be tougher than at the beginning. Once you've set the pace for things, it...

    How do you protect your gaming books?

    My PH takes well over twice the abuse of any other RPG book I have. There's nothing quite like the comfort of knowing exactly what pages your own PH likes to open up to when you open the covers. It gives me a comfort factor when my books age with me. I don't take any extra precautions with my...

    Dundjinni Anyone?

    Dunjiini, combined with Kloogewerks, makes a great all-around package for online gaming IMO.

    Dundjinni for sale

    It's the bugs threads on their forum that holds my interest at the moment. Cannot be too careful with crappy software, or poorly edited books these days. It does look promising though.
