I don't know? why didn't he? I actually thought that. That is why this example bugs me. What is going on in the back story/system that makes Angel Summoner totally useless except when it comes time to send in the HAMMER. Are angels good at the other stuff? Seems that they are really only...

I once ran a partial game of Paranoia that was a whole campaign. They were going into space so the computer activated all of their clones for the trip. They saw some tiny cracks in the space ship wall. Even though the ship computer said it was not dangerous, they opted to wield a piece of metal...

sorry Sorry to those of you that did not get the reference. I had seen the reference in a few threads and had to look it up myself. Now, I realize that these problems seem to be at a higher level than I have traditionally played. And we never played with a lot of splat books as well. In My...

Agreed. I think the core nWOD is very slick and can be adapted to pretty much anything. It makes a great Sword and Sorcery base if you add in the Second Sight (and only Second Sight) book. RK

Dragon Age I really want to play Dragon Age RPG.

my bias True. I guess it is my own bias. To me, I rely on D&D (whatever edition) to be my Monster Slaying game. While that does not have to be the case, I just have other games that I feel do the non dungeon/slaying campaigns better. I do hope that there is a lot of room for not only the...

what would you do ? This sounds like a fun character. And it something like the Dresden RPG (Fate System) would be both easy to build and easy to play in a game. But, what would this character do in a D&D Adventure? Lets say the rules support this build 100%, would the adventures support...

So, I have seen the Angel Summoner & BMX Bandit videos brought up a lot and decided to watch one. I don't understand why anyone would compare that to any edition of D&D. I don't care how powerful you think Clerics/Druids/Wizards (or Magic-Users) are, it is not remotely the same. From what...

yep +1 My son is getting into Lego Ninjago which has really cool Ninjas, Skeletons, and snake men. I am going bankrupt. Lego is very good about only putting the coolest figs in big sets. But the weapons/item switch outs are really cool.

Brillant This is one of my house rules in C&C. When you attack with melee weapon, it is the same regular standard To Hit roll, but you can chose (before you roll) to make it a Damage attack, a disarm, a bull rush or a trip. Unfortunately, I never get to play, so while I have thought of...

Magic of Recluse Since E. Moon, and G. Cook have already been mentioned. L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s Magic of Recluse Series. For a more recent author John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice is really good as well. Maybe not MUST READ, but certainly a highly recommend. RK

marking vs. other manuvers Hello, How is marking any different than lets say Disarm or Sunder ? The PC is applying a negative effect on the DM controlled monster, right ? Or for that matter, tactically setting up AOO? Marking: Attack me or suffer mild damage and/or penalty AOO: If you...

non-fantasy lit. RK Non Fantasy Lit. Moby Dick is awesome for characters. To be honest, I didn’t really like the book. But there are some great characters in there. There is a ex-sailor who is a Church Minister, to ascend the Pulpit each week, he uses rope like he is not the 3 steps at the...

not news no No, mine thread is not news. But the main thread in the news category is mostly discussing 3.5 reprint, and other offshoots. I just wanted a thread to express uncontained happiness at this specifically. RK

Hello, Ok, so Dungeon! is on the WOTC Page. This is pure awesome. I played the original back in the olden days (very early 80s). I hope they keep it as simple as it was. I like the recent D&D board games, but they are a bit costly (not much just a bit), and I can't play those with my son...

agreed and I agree with this, Pathfinder and even the later 3.5 is too different, not bad just different. I have started re-reading 3.5 and realized it was a darn good game. I have 2 of the complete books, and they are good add ons. But I also have Book of 9 Swords, Magic of the Incarnum...

small and silly maybe Hello, I am not trying to be silly with this, but one thing that re-reading the 1st edition PHB that really jumped out at me was the Race Fluff. Specifically 1/2 elf and 1/2 Orc. Per the race description, 50% of each were neutral, and 25%/25% good/evil. That means...

Insurance The Insurance industry would not exist as it does today. They would either all go broke, or be so insanely wealthy as to be the corporate overlords of the world. Or maybe in conjunction with your Construction point. The ramifications of supers, would create new building technology...

Spell Level vs. Caster Level Would it make it easier to levelize the Wizard if Spell Levels were in line with caster level? So, that a Fireball is not a 3rd level spell you get at 5th level at 5d6 but is either a 3rd level spell you can get at 3rd level with 3d6, or it is a 5th level spell you...

Then Why Then why did we have the Greyhawk Gaz, that in a few pages opened up a world of stories and inspirations? Why in Ghost Towers of Inverness, do we get a Background that is pure Awesome? I mean the Rain of Colorless Fire? That is just begging to be worked into the game. RK
