Hi guys! I've been really wanting to run a good old-fashioned dungeon crawl in Pathfinder. I'm looking for a module or an AP that involves one or more good dungeons. Preferably, I'm looking for an epic dungeon that the party will adventure through for some time. I'm looking for a dungeon...

Yeah, more and more I'm seeing the wisdom in this. The problem with such a complex rule system is any change you make has ripple effects all over the place. You end up making more work for yourself as opposed to saving work. I still run Pathfinder, and it has its place for now, but it's...

Any character with use magic device can use healing wands, as can bards, rangers and paladins.

I am going to be running Numenera as soon as it's out. By that time I should also be moved into my new, bigger apartment in Bothell, which, unlike my present apartment, will be big enough to host a game. I know it's still a while before Numenera comes out, but I'm wondering if there's...

Yes, they would be easy to transfer over.

Thank you for your interest, but the group is now full.

I don't think I should have said rules bloat; that's a separate problem. I really don't mind all the character options, because in my game it's the responsibility of the players to understand their characters. What I'm more referring to is all the rules & systems that slow down play...

Ugh. Typo in the thread title. Just great. I really enjoy Pathfinder. Or maybe a more accurate way to say it is I really WANT to enjoy Pathfinder. However, lately I've become concerned that the rules bloat is doing away with my enjoyment of the game. First some caveats and background...

I think another important thing is choosing the right game. If you don't have a lot of time to prepare as a GM, then choose a game that's less rulesy or crunchy. E.g. D&D 3.5 or Pathfinder wouldn't be good choices. Not only do these types of games have a lot more rules to know and understand...

If the player's reasonable, you could just confront them more directly when it happens. When the scene begins to grow long, break character for a moment and say something like: "Ok, is there anything in particular you want to get from this scene? We're both enjoying it, but I'm sure the...

I've decided to use Roll20's virtual tabletop instead of OpenRPG. It's a lot more user friendly.

Arravis, you've proved the rule about making assumptions. Of the assumptions you made, only one is correct. I do not drive race cars. I too build PCs. I've built high end gaming PCs, medium end gaming PCs, and PCs for users who don't game (what I would call low end). I have also used...

Yes, that's exaclty what I was saying. Apple sucks, which means iPad sucks, which is what this thread is about, should I use an iPad or laptop. A Surface would be better than a laptop because its more convenient at the table. An iPad wouldn't be better than a laptop (unless you're talking a...

Here's a link to the Numenera group I created. I've been posting some of Monte's blog posts about the game on there.

I'd say surface. Apple sucks.

Yeah, in my opinion, the less crunch in the mechanics the better. Some of the best roleplaying sessions I've had were when we didn't roll dice at all. Nothing kills the momentum of a story more than having to look up a rule, or worse people arguing about the rules. I too think the setting...

Read Monte Cook's blog. There's been a LOT of details released. :) What interests me most about the game is mainly the setting and after that the system. The setting is on Earth approximately one billion years in the future. It's called the "Ninth World" to indicate that many civilizations...

If you check the Numenera group I created on this site, I linked an article where Monte broke down what will be in the core book. Basically, it has rules, setting, NPCs and monsters, and at least one adventure. There will also be a player's guide that will contain the information from the core...

That sounds like a great way to handle it. I do something very similar.

I created a Numenera group. You can find it here.
