It sounds strange, isn't it? One would think that a system shouldn't structure (or constrain) the feeling of a RPG so much, but it does! I love the narrative dice system exactly because it diverges from traditional D&D and through its design opens up other paths of the RPG experience. (Well that...

Immensly useful! Thanks a lot!

Yesterday I was rather tempted to take out the SW rules and adapt them to a fantasy setting, in order to play with a more casual gamer group. It took me some time to convince myself that I have to be patient and wait until later this year when the real deal Genesys comes out. I still have the...

Have you tried Shadowrun: Anarchy by any chance?

First: I'm full of joy about FFG's plans! Hopefully they have learned from WHF 3rd and EotE and put in some clarifications to the system. I tried EotE with my group and had quite a lot of fun, but we got exhausted quite quickly by rolling checks too often. Not beacuse of reading the dice. After...

The community (we are legion and one day we will have our revenge) accepts your apology. We hold the deep belief that what does not kill us makes us stronger. Therefore we re-appropriated the term. By the way, our official motto is "Killing D&D since 2008". I made some bumper stickers and...

The mob has spoken! Come brethren, we bring ruin and despair to the House of Mearls! Our judgement will be harsh, our reign eternal! We will rule by Saying Yes, our language will be game-istic, we will ride on the backs of dragonborn and disperse law through Holy Skill Challenges because that is...

Listen to us, He Who Shall Not Be Named! We are now two, who ask you for a new edition. Hear our word, Lord of Backwards Nostalgia, and release your grip on D&D, which has cursed this finde game for far too long. Great Traitor of 4E, I banish you by the name of Heinsoo (blessed shall be...

Yes! I longed for an AoS RPG and now they even gave Cubicle7 the license and not a shabby backyard studio! I am pleased. Oh, wait - you say there are no AoS fans around here? Well, here I am. I will choose superheroic glitter fantasy on LSD any time over this gloomy grim bad times pseudo...

*cough* You've got mail *cough*

Oh, Gamma World 4E, how do I love thee. I didn't think that it would go well with a Star Wars theme. Looking forward to read about your experiences! :)

Oh, I feel you! I got myself the first part of the campaign and marveled at all the details and the great plot. It's one of the greatest campaigns I ever read. But I can't bring me or my group to play the first part let alone the whole campaign! I don't think that it was written for all kinds of...

Thanks for all of your advice! Right now I think I'll try to solve the issue with the Tweet Fix (wonder why it is called that). I will tell the party that the surroundings of Stonefang Pass are too dangerous (and too damp :) ...) to get an extended rest. I'll also fiddle with combat difficulty a...

Yes, the solution proposed by Tony Vargas and MwaO is totally fine. I get it that you can just reduce the adventure to one day with 5 encounters and balance is kept. Rearrange the story and everything is good. But there is just a thing that keeps me thinking. I would like to keep the scope of...

Yes, that's good advice to make resting not so easily available. About XP: We don't play with them. The party levels up at an appropriate time, e.g. if they solve a big quest, or roughly after about 5 combat encounters.

Okay, started to write a reply for about four times now because I'm not quite sure whether my question really is something complicated or just extremely trivial and I shouldn't bother about it. I'll try to explain anyway. My group doesn't meet very often (roughly 3 times in 2 months) and also...

Hello all you nice people of Enworld, I know, there have been some discussions about how to change different parameters of combat in 4E to accomplish different things (like having more smaller fights withot braking the balance). But here is a question that I somehow didn't really find an answer...

Oh and there is a small blog from long ago that I cherish: Dungeons and Doodles. The artist started it by drawing wonderful illustrations of some of the Nentir Vale's iconic places. Go a bit back in the timeline and you will find simply wonderful pieces of art for the Vale.

I second everything MoutonRustique said. The PoL/Nerath/Nentir Vale setting is one of my favourite campaign worlds and I'm currently running a game set in the Vale. You have to really see it as a sandbox setting because, as MR said, there aren't any adventures for it that rely on interwoven...

Oh guys, you succesfully made me read the last seven to eight pages that suddenly were there when I came home from work. How do you keep doing that? There is (maybe sadly?) so much truth in this. We have had very many discussions about 4E, its reception, the suprisingly rude backlash against...
