While I don't have any great pithy insights to share here, I will say that I've enjoyed the game greatly and was an active member of the beta. I think you would enjoy it, Morrus, and I hope you will give it a try. You can also wander over to the FFG booth at GenCon and watch the game in action...

I'm especially curious to know what, if anything, has changed from the final beta update.

Oh fantastic. I'll definitely check the booth out then. Thanks, Wade!

What game did you work on, Brian?

Hillfolk doesn't sound like a role-playing game so much as it sounds like improvising a television show where the GM is the director and the players are the cast. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'd be intrigued to play it and see it in action. maybe someone will run demos at GenCon.

Thanks, that's a good summary. You have me officially curious. :)

Give me the elevator pitch on 13th Age. I'm looking forward to D&D Next, I own every previous D&D edition and I'm enjoying Pathfinder. Why should I shell out for another D20 fantasy game? What makes it top this list? Anyone jump in. This is genuine curiosity, not trolling.

Oh. Sarcasm doesn't really come across in forums. So Morrus, why do you think 13th Age is so anticipated?

When will be able to discuss the contents of the video?

Not the order I would have put them in, but there's some cool stuff there. Sort of surprised that xxxxx won out. (EDIT - Fixed b/c of Morrus' reply so I don't spoil anything)

It's a bit maddening, but after extensive searches in the books, the wikis and the forums I cannot find any clear answer on whether multiple damage auras stack in this game. Last night, my game saw the party face off against multiple burning skeletons. One character began her turn with two of...

Oh, okay. I had not seen that before. That certainly clears things up, thanks!

So it turns out the reason HeroLab does what it does is that there's a bug that always awards a level 0 spell as a favored class option, even if it should be a higher-level spell. I guess that means you're supposed to be the qualifier on the character's new level and not his previous one. I...

I'm a DM and my party has a human oracle that just leveled up from 3 to 4. As his favored class option, he chose this from the APG: "Oracle Add one spell known from the oracle spell list. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the oracle can cast."...

As I recall, the only stipulation of the Fight Defensively is "while attacking". If your Wizard casts a spell at an enemy that affects or injures that enemy, I would argue your Wizard is attacking that enemy, and thus can fight defensively. Any rolls to-hit that your Wizard has to make, for...

We ended up turning to D&D4E for an answer. That game addresses this situation very clearly in its rules. Take note, Pathfinder :)

I have combed the rulebook and I don't see the answer to this fringe case, but what's supposed to happen when a character is prone in a square that's occupied by an enemy, and that character wants to stand up? This happened to my character when he was rendered helpless by paralysis and then...

I'm actually here because I don't care for the Star Wars SAGA edition rules for attacking a held weapon in an attempt to disarm an enemy. I figured I'd look to 4E for an alternative, but after combing through the core rulebooks, I cannot find any rules in 4E for attacking objects or trying to...

To the OP, I compliment you on a well-written and well-thought-out post. I also compliment you on being open-minded and willing to try out the Essentials line. I've logged a lot of hours in 4E by now, probably over 250 in total as a player and a DM. Since you specified that you enjoy tactical...

The "Run" move action causes the character to suffer a -5 penalty to attack rolls until the start of his next turn. If you run twice in a turn, would you then suffer a -10 attack penalty until the start of your next turn? I would assume the answer is yes, since penalties stack unless they're...
