Negative. And that's not just a little negative. That's a BIG negative! Their stated design goal is patently un-possible. (Note - that's even LESS possible than impossible.) The "Everything to Everyone" concept has been a failure for every game that has tried it. The closest thing that came to...

Love it! This looks outstanding. I've been trying to put something like this together for a long time myself. My wife is a HUGE fan of the Gothic Horror/Romance/Madness on the Moors story genre, and I've never really be able to get it to work. This setting looks outstanding, and is a game I'd...

O did exactly what you've described with my group. For the Free City, I used Absolam. It already has a Greyhawk-ish feel IMO. I wouldn't bother trying to add Ptolus to the mix at all. The PC's aren't likely to need that kind of depth and detail for the amount of time they'll actually spend in...

Pygmy lizardfolk could easily be represented by kobolds. Just re-skin them and make a few flavor tweaks.

How about something like these? Fighters with the Phalanx Fighter Archetype, using Halberds and Tower Shields. They're trip specialists, and make good use of teamwork feats to drop opponents within their reach and then punish them when they rise, or simply slaughter them if they stay down. Give...

It's pretty much been a full year of Pathfinder. We switched over and have never looked back. We're halfway through the Kingmaker Adventure Path, and I can honestly say it's the best campaign I've played in since I started 30 years ago. We've already got our next two campaigns lined up, and...

Pretty much ALL my Paizo purchases were great purchases, but Kingmaker tops the list. What a great campaign! Dresden Files was a great read, but finding a group to play it has been tough. Gamma World 4E is big dumb fun, and just what the doctor ordered! Mutants and mayem in the post-apocalyse...

Kingmaker is really shaping up to be an excellent AP. I dig Golarion, but my players are all HUGE Warmachine and Hordes fans, and have been itching to play in Privateer Press's Iron Kingdoms setting. Anyone have some ideas for where in the IK to set Kingmaker? I'm thinking about parking it in...

Not just no, but Hell No! The DDI model leaves me cold. I like electronic tools. I bought the old Core Rules CD, I bought eTools, etc. I have ZERO interest in renting software, no matter how awesome, or who makes it.

I liked Buck Rogers best when it was called Farscape. ;)

Monsterpocalypse Our game group has been completely taken over by "Mon-Poc". I've managed to get a full set of Shadow Sun Syndicate figures, we have two Martian players, two Terrasaur players, two Planet Eaters, Two GUARD's, and two Chtugrosh players. The game is amazingly well balanced, and...

We have a group of die-hard Warmachine/Hordes players, but Monsterpocalypse has completely taken over the gaming table. Giant Godzilla style monsters mixing it up with giant robots - man, what's not to like??? I expected this game to be a "beer & pretzels" rules lite game. And while the rules...

I'm tentatively interested. But at the risk of sounding cynical, is this going to get sold off to RPGNow and shut down with minimal notice to publishers too? Sorry, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last ENWorld PDF store. Not trying to poo-poo the idea, because it does sound...

Don't underestimate these boys. At that age they can grasp some pretty complicated moral ambiguity. If they can watch LotR and get the idea that Boromir was a "good guy" tempted by the Ring, then you can hit them with some more complex plots. That said, they are going to have short attention...

Try this on for size Here's something to try. You might want to double check my math (if you're the kind of person who cares about such things.) Basically, the idea is take a basilisk, advance the HD to 12, it gets large, and strong. I tweaked the feats a little to make sure he could take...

Characters first, then build a world and story around them. LotR wasn't just a success because it mined Tolkien. Jackson made us care about these plucky little hobbits. The only reason Orlando Bloom has a career is because Peter Jackson made us care about this Legolas guy. So come up with a...

sold!

I ran a Pathfinder game at Origins this year, and I found the new channelling rules to be terriffic! The party cleric used his positive energy bursts to great effect, hindering the undead, and healing the party very effectively. This was a 5 person party of 6th level PC's and the channelling was...

A buddy and I have formed a team (Giants in the Earth) to run events at Origins 2008. We've brainstormed, and kicked ideas around and around, and he's good to go. The problem is I'm completely stumped as to what to run! I want to run at least four sessions. The only one I'm comitted to is a...

On Monday our gaming group will be drinking Moutain Dew, and eating Cheetos. We're going to use OD&D rules and crawl through either Keep on the Borderlands, Ghost Tower of Inverness, or Keep on the Borderlands. Stats will be generated with 3d6 in order. Halfling, Elf and Dwarf will be both Class...
