    What's your favorite edition of D&D (so far)?

    Trailblazer. I answered 3.x. IMO, it fixes more than Pathfinder. It has less polish, but I don't mind.

    I've updated my character sheet.

    What's an "Aragorn Style" ranger?

    Dude. The answer is right here, in this very thread.

    2012 PC Bodycount thread

    Kathor, from the Scouring of Gate's pass (War of the Burning sky), charged a dismounted PC named Maroc, a Dwarven cleric. Since Kathor has the mounted feats, the PC took a huge chunk of damage and dropped. Maybe he could have been recovered, but the party had split up (one PC on one side of the...

    Selling core books & splats for 2nd, 3.0 and 4th (bid on entire edition please)

    Hello everyone, I've decided to sell my 2nd edition, 3.0 edition and 4th edition books because for fantasy RPGing I now play Trailblazer to the exclusion of everything else. I just want it to end up in some gamer's hands, instead of gathering dust on my shelf, so I'll sell the whole lot for...

    Making 'em cry

    Does it count if it is becasue I killed their character somehwat arbitrarily? ;) I'd say no, it hardly is possible (basically), but then I think RPGS are more like books and less like film. I think music and facial expressions are integral to making people weep, and that requires not a DM but...

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Character Sheet?

    I have an Excel character sheet here, that is not quite finished, and might have a small error here or there. I will take absolutely no suggestions or feedback though :D

    1st level hit points: class HD full or not?

    I am currently playing with the first class HD (level 1) as not being full, as the characters are getting their constitution score as bonus hit points anyway. The rules seem not to be definitive on this. What is the official take and/or how have you ran this?

    New Combat Reactions

    Nah, and I probably wouldn't want to. The options are already quite diverse, enough so that my fighter player pretty much needs a bookmark on the page.

    WotC Discontinues Minis: How Much Does It Affect You?

    It's sad. I also wonder what newer players are going to use for physical representation. I really enjoy the look and feel of the minis.

    Weak Deaths

    With you all the way. Lost me. If they start free-climbing the 200ft cliff, without any ranks in climb and with a big armour check penalty, chances are they are going to get it. That said, I play Trailblazer, so they have action points. A few of them at least.

    Enough is enough: Let's do something about Driizzt do'Urden

    If someone's driving a Ferrari, he is not necessarily imitating Crockett from Miami Vice (a Ferrari is just an "optimal build"). If someone's driving a black van with a very specific red stripe on it...

    I need to play D&D. What's my system, what's my campaign setting?

    I fully believe it still feels like 3e. We played with the UA basic classes for a while and it felt like 3e though :D. Pathfinder is a bit too option rich for my tastes. Maybe I will use it to try it out if I ever do one of the Adventure paths. I know at least one of my players would love it.

    I need to play D&D. What's my system, what's my campaign setting?

    Pathfinder is for me just 3.5 with house rules. Which means it is very good and suits my purposes, but it isn't necessarily the bees knees. I am most likely going to use Trailblazer as opposed to "core 3.5". Perhaps with some UA options thrown in, maybe even adapt 4e races slightly and use those...

    I need to play D&D. What's my system, what's my campaign setting?

    I have never seen it in the Netherlands, but I will try and track it down. I think I will be able to special order it (either online or through the FLGS). I have heard good things. S'mon, I don't know why I blindsided myself thinking it had to be E6 or E8. E10 might indeed be just what I am...

    I need to play D&D. What's my system, what's my campaign setting?

    Hello everyone, Having played 4e till mid Epic levels (which burned me out spectacularly, so I am not touching it again), we switched to Star Wars Saga. Me and two out of four players liked it, but one of the "likes star wars" players wants to mostly stop playing, and the other players were...

    What do people play more of nowadays?

    I currently play SW Saga. It's great!

    Where Do You Game?

    A home. Always the same place, two of the players live there.

    4e DMs: Allow players a 5 minute rest after EVERY encounter?

    I don't really know what to make of this post. It seems like edition bashing, just to make a joke. I could reply that from level 1 to 22, I have never had a single encounter run into hours (each combat last one hour, whether it is easy or hard - which I do perceive to be a problem), or that...
