    Article: Gamehackery: How Long Can PDF Last?

    Are you serious!? Waaa, Waaa! :.-( Reread that and tell me that complaint doesn't sound pretty silly! You just described what every gamer has done for the last 40 years! It hasn't been a grindstone 'round the neck. Cry me a river... After you've walked 10 miles one way to school in the snow...

    Tabletop Gaming News for Saturday, 20 April, 2013 [Plus: D&D is Evil!]

    The man was asked his opinion and he gave his opinion. Staying away from evil is pretty sound advice. However, I assume the vast majority of people here don't consider D&D evil. Count me among you. What I find most disgusting about that video is the "right wing watch group" advertised at...

    Gamehackery: How Long Can PDF Last?

    I came to the conclusion over a year and a half ago, when I gave up my Droid, that technology would just have to pass me by to some extent (i'm 39). I think we as a whole have been sold a bill of goods that we must.have.these.gadgets (see cell phones; it's almost absurd). Some things just...

    So one of the main reasons I shied away from 4th edition will be carried over into 5th? Countdown to 6e, anyone?

    Ruins of Undermountain - What am I missing?

    Doh! I forgot about RPGGeek! Thanks! Now, I'm not asking for a front-and-back scan of "Nadrun's Magical Doors", but if someone PM'd me about the subject...

    Ruins of Undermountain - What am I missing?

    Just got a copy of Ruins of Undermountain again a few years after a fit of insanity in which I sold my original copy =P I'm very happy with the overall condition. However, it looks like I'm missing one of 8 "Dungeon Master" cards. These are sort of half-sheet, double-sided cards with a stone...

    D&D 5E Ed Greenwood to write 5E's Forgotten Realms

    That's an idea. I never could embrace the Realms whole cloth. There were "big picture" things that just didn't jive with me (mostly political). With that said, I grew to appreciate it - especially the 2nd edition stuff. Great fluff in all those pages of material! The Volo Guides are still...

    Wrapping my head around hit points

    Thanks for the replies! The overwhelming theme I'm taking from this is, "Yeah, your Ranger is good, but the Fighter's good, too." =) At least I'm on the same page with you guys!

    Wrapping my head around hit points

    Just some background first: long time 0/2/3 D&D player (never played 1st), so I'm not a neophyte per se, but my experience has been "inbred" (for lack of a better word) because I've been playing with (only)the same group for 20+ years. Hit points have always bugged me a bit. I understand why...

    CODA TNs to d20 DCs

    I've been toying with converting the wonderful narrative starship combat from CODA into d20. Although I like CODA a lot, I own a tremendous amount of d20 material and much of that material can, with little work, dovetail with ADB's Prime Directive d20 Modern. Plus, CODA and d20 are so similar to...

    Help wih Species Design & Extraordinary Abilities

    Hi all! I'm currently enjoying Prime Directive D20 Modern by ADB. Although its official setting is obviously the Star Fleet Universe, it's perfect for running any sort of Star Trek game. Although D&D was my first "roll" playing game, FASA's Star Trek: RPG was my first "role" playing game, and...

    Digital Tokens: Hardcopies Possible

    I'm a huge fan of 2D tokens (Fiery Dragon, for instance) and use them extensively. I've seen several digital token sets for use with Fantasy Grounds II and similar digital/online table programs. Scenario: If I purchased a digital token set from RPGNow, would I be able to use the .png files...

    Red Box Fantasy

    "Thematically, the biggest change are gnomes. In Red Box Fantasy, the gnomes are basically clockwork tinkerers in a steampunk sense." Too bad...I lost all interest in the product with that...

    My Vitality/Wound System - Feedback Wanted

    Except for your extra damage to Wound points per critical, my group follows a similar houserule: Criticals do damage to VP and not to WP. Once in WP, -2 To-Hit, can't run, and whatever else the SRD says =)

    Which version of D&D or D&D-like will you be playing by the end of 2008 ?

    My gaming dollars are going to: :1: Pathfinder :2: Castles and Crusades :3: Other 3rd party 3.0/3.5 products I've literally heptupled or better my 3.X collection over the last 6 months with local hobby and bookstores marking WotC 3.X products down to as much as half-off. I've also...
