    Dungeons & Dragons Editions: Where Do You Stand?

    Oh man .... Palace of the Silver Princess .... that gave me some shivers. I'd completely forgotten playing in that when I was 11.

    New D&D Facebook Game Live Today!

    Adventure progress 4/6. Bit bored. Waiting for each move compounded with no real choices to make gives me the feeling that the whole thing is happening to me and there's not much interaction.

    New D&D Facebook Game Live Today!

    His name of course! The might Kissybear ventures forth! And now I have to wait 8 minutes .... ??? .... Bored now. Better mechanic: Energy points or whatnot which regenerate over time but let you do multiple moves one after the other before having to wait. One move every x minutes is...

    Apocalyptic Settings and Breaking Settings

    Gosh. I don't want to come across as judging you because honestly I'm not, but in my experience with life if you focus on the negative then more negative is soon to follow. Focus on the positive and more positive follows. It's a pretty hippy way of looking at things, but all empirical...

    One off con style adventure - ideas/inspiration

    Thanks guys, it's good to know the basic idea is solid! I'm not sure I want to go as far as the dorf deliberately being told to get the paladin drunk; I think I'm going to go with the dorf's god having a commandment to "spread good cheers and merriment" and him being happy to do so. That the...

    <Homebrew> The Port on the Aster Sea

    Brilliant. :D I have to say, as a huge Clive Barker fan, I'd love to be playing in this game!

    Need some help fleshing out (or changing) this NPC idea

    Ah, true. Q. How do you give a dwarf multiple personality disorder? A. A choice between gold, beer and honour. :hmm:

    Need some help fleshing out (or changing) this NPC idea

    I'd go with three; it gives you a good ongoing storyline. IMO dorfs are unlikely to become pirates because (a) dorfs don't like water, and (b) they're stubborn little buggers and if you threaten them they'll likely dig their heels in even if only to be annoying. The only reason I could see for...

    Confessions of a 4e DM- I said no

    Many people, probably including myself, would have been with you on this one! The mistake is letting sunrods into the game in the first place. Although, as pointed out, really bright light sources make you a BIG target. There's a reason the SAS don't cruise around at night with 10 million...

    Cleric without a clergy

    Yes, this story hour was utterly amazing. I'm really disappointed it cut off suddenly towards the end.

    One off con style adventure - ideas/inspiration

    Hello! Right, it's been 6-ish years since I DMed anything and I've foolishly said I'd have an adventure ready to go for a small gaming con in September. :hmm: I've never run a con style adventure so I'm a little short of ideas for the format. Clearly a full blown adventure is going to be way...

    Um, what is the GenCon vs Lucas issue?? :confused:

    DDI for $7.95

    Certainly in Europe this pricing is very good due to current exchange rates.

    Which saving throw thwarts death?

    Surely it's a skill challence? Intelligence if you are playing chess, charisma if you're playing Cripple Mr Onion. ;)

    transcript july 21, 2008 hsbro earnings conference call and business overview

    That's not a bad thing looking at EA's online efforts. I was a big Battlefield 2 player a couple of years back and EA's management and delivery of the brand was nothing short of incompetent. Here, I'm not so sure. D&D, regardless of "nicheness" has a huge brand recognition. Imagine what...

    On being a Professional GM

    Given that someone, somewhere has imagined anime tenticle pr0n that is a very frightening thought.

    Tell Me about Rolemaster

    I'd definitely disagree, but it will depend a lot on how the game is run. We played one campaign where we played strictly RAW and no character lasted more than 5 sessions; we quickly learned to maximise every combat advantage we could. Excellent change for RMSS then. I was playing RM1...
