Yeah I know it's old, but in case people revive this, here's my two cents. I DMed my fourth LA and it's by far the worst of them - utterly broken, worse even than Umberlee-broken. I can't fathom how it shipped in this state, considering the work put into the design and maps. The fights are...

[Montreal] D&D4 & 5 en français Vous cherchez une game de 4e/5e hebdo ou semi-hebdo? (on alterne) La job et les études nous ont coûté 1 joueur et demi, donc on recrute ! On est plutôt dans les 40 ans, dans le coin de Fabre. On joue le vendredi 18h. L'idée serait de commencer avec une ou deux...

Alright now here's a challenge for you guys: do you now of a game that has skills, but does not include Perception (or synonym) as a skill? I do know one, do you?

Was there an outstanding query to bump?

Quite right. It's just that it then becomes odd that one recharges during SR and one during ER. Well... not weirder than 5e I should say... Interesting point! Because you also use multi-step conditions, have you considered replacing flanking with increasing "ally bonus"? Ah yes! In one...

While I really doubt that anybody would ever use those rules (especially over 30 levels!), they contain many inspiration ideas for simplifying classes. That said, I have a very hard time considering 4e as complex in anyway, except for the odd sneaky rule (e.g. the PHB Fighter's superiority, or...

Skeletons. I apologize in advance for lost productivity, but reference.

- Are you using the Threats to Nentir Vale book? Very nice for H/P campaingns. - The minions variant I use is the "Threshold Minions". Each has a threshold of 5+1/3level. Hit that threshold and it's bloodied, or dead if it was bloodied. Hit twice the threshold and it's dead at once. It's...

I like the take on lying - I never thought about that. But there's a couple things I don't get: * Wrecan insists on adapting the challenge to the PC's strengths. That's odd. I know my players wouldn't want to feel like a social challenge is easy/hard because they, as a team, choose to be...

Bloodlust was a '91 French RPG that had players play in pair, with one creating a mighty warrior, the other a sentient weapon the first wielded. The weapon had goals, wants, and could wrench control of the wielder from time to time...

But if the Diplomancer can end a fight then it's really disappointing for the fighter PCs. The balance is very tricky. You don't want to allow the 3.0-type half-elf Diplomacy beast who can walk into a random encounter and end up with 3 ogre allies. On the other hand, if the Diplomancer is just...

I understand, however I tried on these different computers on 1280 screens: Win7 FF49 Win7 FF28 Win7 IE9.0.8 Win10 FF49 Win10 Edge MacOS FF Then I tried FF49 on different res, from 1024 to 1920. I never even saw the slider arrow.

WISH: Current chapter title on the page border or header.

I knew I had seen that shield somewhere... Oddly, I have nothing to contribute to my own thread. I have my fair share of 80s games in stock, but it never seriously occured to me to play them again, because I know I would be disappointed, at least by the playing style. However, I did make a...

RE: Gamma World, for a long time I thought it was a very serious game. I realize I was mixing up with Aftermath, or something. So when GW 4e came out, I found it odd that they reframed it as a tongue-in-cheek game! (Btw I recently used the GW cards for a DArk Sun game which ended pretty much in...

Interesting dichotomy, but I use a third option (and certainly I'm not the only one): fixed breaks, based on encounter difficulty. E.g. one ER after 3 enc, or 4, or 5 enc. The moment when the heroes can ER is determined by the difficulty of those encounters, not the days, not the narrative pacing.

If Morrus creates a "Gold Coin" badge, I hereby pledge I will buy more Gold Coins.

Well, theory disproved. Did you encounter big issues with aging Magi power creep? How did you enforce regular seasonal activity? Funny because the campaign I'm running right now is set in Ireland, began in 1001, and with a Danish runewizard. Good thing is it avoids powercreep because hedge...

You'd think. GURPS d20 is a detailed simulation of Forum Wars pertaining to the d20 Modern and Star Wars d20, as well as the unpublished Vampire d20 and FATE d20. You can play any of several archetypes such as The Clicktroll; the SJG Fanboy, and customize them with Advantages. Included is a...

So you see, I don't know, Tony Vargas's been there for 14 1/2 years. He posted 9,316 times. He could have written Games of Thrones AND the unpublished GURPS d20 in that span. There barely was any Internet back in 2002 in Edenvale (this is right near the river Cionthar, Western Heartlands)...
