    Playing the same character since 1985? Gwah?

    I came across something which I percieved as peculiar and thought I should ask the gaming community at large about it. A coworker and I often talk about RPGs in our downtime. I regale him with stories of my weekly Pathfinder and L5R games, he tells me tales of his AD&D group. I had been...

    Ethos for a New Edition

    You lost me. Your cited works basically reads like a "What I do not want in my D&D" list. Now, granted, I appreciate the classics for what they are: building blocks upon which the things I like are based. I liken it to my general dislike of The Beatles. LotR is the fantasy equivalent of The...

    A new Edition/Iteration of D&D is really necessary?

    Margaret Weis Productions is putting out Marvel Superhero Roleplaying this year sometime. -TRRW

    Tell me about your D&D group

    Apologies for the thread necromancy, but threads like this should be dragged up to the surface every once in a while; if only to see how everyone's group has changed. My primary group: How long has your group been playing together? About a year. What are the ages, genders, and professions of...

    Trouble with Short Rest and Healing Word

    Having fenced with the SCA for 4 years, I can tell you that this is very much the truth. Even a few minutes of weapon drills/single combat is tiresome, let alone a decent multi-person melee. Even the hardiest of our fighters has to take 10 or 15 minute breaks every other fight just to get...

    Let's pronounce "Genasi"

    Coming from a co-worker who's originally from Turkey: jena-SIGH (sounds like Genocide without the -de). -TRRW

    Tell me about your D&D group

    Current group as a whole: Since June. My girlfriend has been gaming with me since 2003 at the release of 3.5; the rest of them have joined over the course of the past three years. All of us (except one, denoted with an asterisk) work in the Casino industry. We're split into two groups with...

    Wordles of the PHB and DMG

    In the process of copy/pasting the entirety of the 3.5 SRD into one place so it can be Wordle-ized. I've been waiting for a while, since I mistakenly copy/pasted it all into Google Chrome and that browser isn't supported by Wordle yet. Repasting it all into InternautExploder is taking longer...

    Excerpts: Swordmage

    I'm still trying to figure out why they get 15+Con Mod HP at first level instead of X+Con Score like everyone else. -TRRW

    Black or white?

    Thanks! Also, one other thing in regards to the color; There's a front page? -TRRW

    Black or white?

    Black is better on the eyes (I will never understand the "white, because I read at work" thing; if someone could explain, I would be grateful) and is also more energy efficient. -TRRW

    Half-Elves: Half-Eladrin?

    I'm actually playing a Half-Eladrin paladin now. Using the stats for the standard Half-Elf, except allowing Eladrin instead of Elf feats. Not that busted, because the only one you can take is Eladrin Soldier (so far as I remember). The others all have to do with Fey Step. So yeah, go for it...

    Gaming Tables

    Six or eight of these work really well for a couch level gaming table. Plus, pretty reasonable cost. I made my own gaming topper to sit on top of those. It's made of finished particle board with 4" legs, little undercounter lights, and a plexiglass sheet screwed down over a Chessex battle...

    Suggest a feat for a Tiefling Fey Warlock 2

    Improved Initiative will help her make the most out of that high Dexterity. I would have suggested taking both of the applicable Damage+ feats, but as stated by others, her stats just don't line up with any of them. Here in the land of 4e, the first step isn't Figure out what class and race...

    GenCon Product Release 2008: A Compiled List

    Glee! More Serenity stuff to cannibalize for my SWSE game! Also, I had heard you crazy MWP kids got the Supernatural license. What's come of that? -TRRW

    Forked Thread: Taking a Break

    It's mostly a Southern US thing. When I was traveling through that region, I'd stop at restaurants and frequently be asked "What kinda coke you want?". I quickly found out that there a multitude of options besides Regular / Diet / Cherry / Vanilla / Zero. It turns out that coke is their slang...

    How much stuff do your players buy?

    Wow. People have groups where the players don't even buy their own dice? Wow. Just... wow. For the record, we're playing 4e. We have three couples and four singles in two groups (with some overlap). At this point, everyone has bought the PHB. About half are planning on buying the 4e FR...

    Do Warlocks get class features & at will powers

    It says they get two At-Will attack powers, not that they get to choose two at will powers in addition to their class features. Choosing your class feature (Pact) gets you one of them. The other is Eldritch Blast. -TRRW
