The original Wizardry game had a Staff of Conflagration

Phlogiston, or some derivation thereof. The fiery MacGuffin in my Urban Arcana game was Phlogiston-7.

My memory is fuzzy here, but didn't ENWorld go through a period of "read only" mode during a system migration a while ago? That lasted a few days? Perhaps someone with the facts on that can give us some perspective. I recently had to deal with a user in the UK who was outraged because my 180...

On an, I hope, unrelated note, I can't sign in to DDI. D&D Insider Login Alert! Wizards login service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again soon. ----------------------------- Stay up, ENWorld, stay up!

Wizards Community website is down for a platform migration. Wizards of the Coast is pleased to announce that we're upgrading to a new community platform. We are in the process of migrating our forums to a system that includes a host of new features like friends lists, groups, an invite system...

Most of my BBEG are quite evil, but there are a lot of shades of grey in the lieutenants and other antagonists encountered along the way. The worst one possessed a PC's child while it was still a fetus and was carrying out his evil deeds from within the womb of his mate. It did not have a...

Well, they sure deserve it.

I use Eberron. I merrily tweak anything I like, and flout canon with wild abandon, but the campaign is Eberron at its core.

Yay! As a Giants fan, I have a new reason to hate the Eagles!

Happy happy joy joy.

I also love the maps. I use that sailing ship map a ton. You know how hard it is to draw a four level sailing ship on a battlemat?

4e is still pushing enough awesome buttons that I have no need to switch my campaign. I'd happily play a Pathfinder game if a good one came along, though.

I have at least one of every D&D mini produced to date, and just outgrew my organization system. I used bead cases from Michael's or AC Moore to contain them, and had about 10 full when I made my recent switch. I had originally: PC cases - one big section for each 3e class. Fighters were by...

Off-line, rights-protected access is going to be tough unless they use DRM technologies, which are both a PitA to use and lacking in uncracked standards. I really hope they don't go this route. I'm always going to buy a paper copy of the book and I am not going to buy another electronic copy...

You must have been thinking about TheRPGSite.com. Man, do they hate ENWorld.

In Eberron, half-elves are a full on, true breeding race like the half-orcs. Half-orcs of the Shadow Marches call themselves "Jhorgun'taal", which I think is a cool name. Half-elves in Eberron call themselves "Khoravar", and I'm not so enamored with that name. Sounds swashbuckle-y to me...

You don't find it unsettling that you can kill a Great Old One with a Tommy Gun? That was a game that had great potential until my group of newbs beat it handily the first 10 times out of the gate. <snicker> He said gate...

OK, I'll play. Systems are nigh-irrelevant, IMO. My itches are scratched with great GM's, great stories, great characters, and people who are fun to hang around with and are into the game. I've played with the best, so my standards are ridiculously high. Since it is important with such games...

Sounds like a style conflict. A classy player, when recognizing a style conflict, will politely thank the DM, but explain that they really aren't getting what they want out of the game. Maybe there's a round of compromise in both directions, where both parties make an attempt to come to common...

Point of clarfication: Is Pathfinder the fix for what? Sounds like you are inviting people to free-form discuss what is broken, on their favorite broken thing, and then speculate on whether Pathfinder will fix that thing. That's at least what I thought when I read the title of the thread...
