    SWSE Saved My Marriage

    I also really love the SWSE system and find it superior to 3.5 and 4e. But as a RPG gamer in Brazil, it's hard enough to find a group to game with, let alone play a Star Wars RPG, so I'm happy enough having a regular D&D group

    4E, the Grind and Why I Play

    To be honest, I've been more than once frustrated with the homogeneity of the classes enough to just "quit" 4e and get my 3.5 books again and play it. But there are so many things 4e did right, with save or dies, simplification of rules, fast combats (which you don't experience, but I have)...

    I like 4e, but I miss... Forked Thread: I like 3E, but I miss...

    I miss a lot. I miss so much I'm still undecided which one I want to play :( I like 4e, but I miss... different mechanics for different classes non combat related abilities (Druid's A Thousand Faces, Monk's "never getting old", Paladin's remove disease, etc...) The Vancian spell system...

    WotC: Character Builder's effect on Third Party Publishers

    Well, to be honest, I just wish that the CB will be updated to be easier to implement House Rules on it. For example, I just give everyone twice the number of utility powers and we use the powers in WotBS Player's Guide, and we still do our characters on CB. It's more work, sure, but it's...

    The Martial Laws

    Just to spice the topic up, also, what is exclusive to martial source? Divine has healing, mostly, and protecting allies, and arcane has most AoE. What does martial have?

    Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

    I would like a PDF too, since I'm from Brazil and this book is seeming to be impossible to get at a reasonable shipping price. So many campaigns that I feel I'm missing the opportunity to spice up with some random tables!

    Hey everyone! What's new?

    WotC was found guilty of spreading cocaine in their books, to make that "new book smell" addictive. I should've known. That's why people are talking about suing people, cocaine is serious stuff!

    Why Did No One Tell me? Ultimate Toolbox!

    Anyone knows where is the cheapest place to buy the book and ship it to Brazil? I've been searching, but shipping costs are very expensive! I've bought heavier stuff on ebay and amazon with cheaper shipping costs =( Thanks!

    How Important is Magic to Dungeons and Dragons? - Third Edition vs Fourth Edition

    God, I have that exactly same feelings. 4e did a lot of things very right, so much that I don't feel very well going back to 3.5. But the blandness of the classes is terrible, I eats me inside. I see things like "the monk playtest is coming out in may!" and I don't get all excited because I know...

    Arcane Power: How long before the pirated copy appears

    There will be a delay, that's for sure. There already is, because the older books were already released in launch day. Still, they will get out, and after that happens, the pirates will be happy and Wizard will have hurt no one but the legal costumer.

    1001 Tips for Winging It: A GM's Guide to Improvising and Cutting Down on Prep Time

    12) If you're truly winging it, ie, your players are anxiously waiting for your next words, and you have no clue what they are, you just need to know the monsters you are throwing at them. If you know what sort of monster they are battling next, you can create everything on the spot. Example...

    Please help me fill the gap in my Vampire adventure!

    Hello everyone! I really like to receive different ideas for campaigns, and I would like some help on this 4e adventure I'm running. My players (3, a ranger, a paladin and a fighter) are lvl 7 and they are investigating the disappearance of some wood elves (or just elves, in 4e). The elves...

    Forked: GTS - A need for "A robust system that handles things outside of combat"?

    While I agree with the rest of your post, this is different from my experience. Our party is only lvl 7 now, but one reason why we're not thinking of going back to 3.5 at the moment is that our encounters go pretty quick. We one finished a 4.5 hour session with 4 encounters and plenty of role...

    Forked: GTS - A need for "A robust system that handles things outside of combat"?

    Exactly. I think the design in 4e kind of gets it, for example, there's an epic destiny which I don't remember the name, but one of it's power is that you can travel anywhere, in any plane, and arrives on your destination in 24h maximum. I think that's exactly the sort of thing people want...

    Any tips for Pyramid of Shadows? Any handouts?

    Well, to be honest, I spent the whole afternoon reading through it, trying to adapt to my tastes, but I just gave up. This adventure is a mess. It's monsters are completely unconnected, there is not a single small faint trace of logic going on here and the pyramid just screams for boring fight...

    My diminishing Dungeon magazine collection...

    I must admit that I'm not very envy on the right shelf and the left shelf, because almost none of those games interest me. But I'll lose my sleep because of the center shelf.

    World Creator?

    Well, the one I know of is Campaign Cartographer 3 (ProFantasy Software - Campaign Cartographer 3 - map making for game, historical and hobby mappers), but I should warn you it's a bit expensive.
