    Rescue at Rivenroar Posted

    Well, It looks like it was either awfully rushed or the editor was asleep at the switch. It is full of inconsistencies, bad grammar, poor descriptions and irrational design. As an example, the second encounter starts with the "PC's outside the tavern." Except there is no tavern noted on the...

    2008 Best Publisher Nomination Thread (and more!)

    Fiery Dragon Productions All the revised Iron Heroes stuff has been great and their Superhero Counter Collection has seen a lot of use in my Mutants and Masterminds game. JoS.

    Dragon 365 - Artificer

    Maybe, If the range were the range of the weapon instead of a fixed 10. Also given that artificers are only proficient in daggers, javelins, crossbows and slings for ranged weapons only the sling would make any sense for doing that. Just doesn't wash for me. I suspect this was a vestigial...

    Dragon 365 - Artificer

    Hmmm, Did anyone else find Shielding Cube a little odd? Why do you think you need to have a range weapon in hand? All the effects seem to come from the artifice. JoS.

    Origins - Impressions of three 4E Events

    OK, Is that just a shot at our friendly neighborhood brand manager? 'Cause otherwise I just don't get it. JoS

    Does anyone actually like Dragonborn and Tieflings?

    I have to agree with Mustrum here, Dragonborn really do add an interesting element to the game. I think for me it's because I've always liked the idea of Lizardfolk as a PC race (ever since that fellow in Rogues Gallery way back in 1st Ed.) and the Dragonborn capture that feel for me. The...

    Twilight Teleport

    Yes, the target (i.e. the guy that just died) has to be within 20 squares. What it doesn't define is where other creature has to be. As written, I could teleport Orcus into his square. No DM is going to allow that obviously but description could have been much more coherent. JoS

    Twilight Teleport

    OK, Twilight Teleport, a Utility 12 power of the Feytouched Paragon Path, allows you to "Teleport yourself or another creature into the triggering creature's space" when the creature, affected by your Warlock's Curse, drops to 0 or fewer hp's. While the range to the target is spelled out there...

    Dragonborn Paladin starting stats

    OK, Total threadjack but just because of that small typo I am now compelled to create a Dragonborn Rogue who was found floating in the sea and has no memory of his past. I'll call his quest the Dragonborne Conspiracy. JoS

    Houserules.

    Well, The first thing I "fixed" was the silly rule that if you run out of movement in mid leap you automatically fall. The fact that inertia automatically fails you due to a game mechanic is just retarded. Simple fix, a character caught in mid leap must use a movement action to complete the...

    CthulhuTech - Your Opinion?

    Hey, I have to recommend it. with one caveat, I haven't played it. I was surprised by how good this game was. I would have given it a complete miss had I seen it on the shelves but a friend bought it for me while I was laid up in hospital a few months ago. The poker dice mechanic is a little...

    What is Rifts like?

    Rifts is the greatest game you can never play. As a setting it is just amazing. As a game it's a flaming brown paper bag sitting on your doorstep after the doorbell has rung. JoS

    Best Dogfighting Rules

    Hey Guys, Can someone point me to some really good dogfighting rules? Any system is fine. I've been watching the new Macross Frontier episodes and I'm really jonesing to homebrew something up for it. Thanks in advance. JoS

    Smuggled photos

    Hmmm, Not really thrilled with the artwork. It's good but it just seems to lack character. Say what you want about Todd Lockwood's art it definitely gave 3rd Ed. a distinct look and feel. These three panels seem so.... average. My first impression was, "Wow, this looks just 2nd Edition." JoS

    Pathfinder OGL/3.5 RPG system from Paizo

    Oh... My... God... (and I'm an atheist), Just like to say to the folks at Paizo, you all have balls the size of small moons. I don't think gaming has ever had a coup this big. I know I, and any many of the other folks on ENWorld, will be watching this with intense interest. I've already DL'd...

    D20 Apocalypse poll

    Heh, There's on old line that goes "And the meek shall inherit the Earth because the strong are going to the stars." If you look at post-humanism themes of evolution to a digital existence and other forms you could form a post apocalyptic scenario with those who have been left behind. Think...
