    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren nods in agreement with Jonas, "I agree, let's get going." He looks to Jaycus and then reaches to pat Midnight's neck reassuringly after the screech, and asks, "Is this going to be some test in our ability to control these horses?" He looks to the more experienced members of their party...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren obediently eases up, letting the horse do more of the work. "Names don't have to be original to be good." He pats the neck of the horse, smiling. Then he looks up and asks, "Is Midnight combat trained as well? And is he used to magic?" To Mystie he answers, "I think we were going the more...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren waves to Grunger on the way out, though makes no offer of bringing him. A quick stop at a shop to pick up 7 days of trail rations, he makes his way (a little slower with heavier packs) to the stables. On arriving, he seems to have every intention of buying a horse... until Jacsen mentions...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren nods with a smile, picking up his coins and standing up, energetic and eager to get going, "Two hours sounds great. I'm going to look into getting some food for the road, and I'll meet you at the stables." Should I put in my purchase list now, or wait until we're at the stables? And...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren nods, and says, "Nice to meet you all." He then says, "I'll want to see about buying a horse before we go, with my share of the up-front payment, but other than that, I'm set to head out if everybody else is." Joren AC: 12 (10 flat-footed, 12 touch) HP: 11/11 CMB: -1 CMD: 11 Fort: +2...

    Do you always need to save the world

    This is exactly the way I used to do it, most of the time anyway, back when I was GMing regularly. When the PCs get to the level where the world is at stake, (usually after a long campaign dealing with smaller stuff), they aren't alone. They have armies backing them up, but so do the bad guys...

    Favorite Setting That Has Novels

    Splinter of the Mind's Eye came out in 1978. The Han Solo adventures trilogy came out in 1979 and 1980. The Lando Calrissian Adventures trilogy came out in 1983. West End Games came out with their Star Wars RPG in 1987. So, the novels came first. :) But you're right, it's the movie universe...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren's eyes widen at Jacobson's descriptions of goblins, sitting back a little, and then nods a little, "Ok, yeah. No intention of being eaten, if I can help it." He nods to the dwarf and half-orc, "Yeah, dangerous path is probably the best. Looking at our group, it looks like we can handle...

    Thoughts of a new Star Wars System

    That's one of the things that sold me on your kickstarter. It looks like an awesome game system for running Star Wars. (I can't bring myself to buy the FFG system because of the custom dice, which makes it hard to play online, and having 3 core rulebooks that will mostly be made up of the same...

    Favorite Setting That Has Novels

    If you count Star Wars (where the RPGs are set in the world of the novels, rather than vice-versa), it's definitely first. A Song of Ice and Fire is definitely up there as well. Battletech is my top choice, however, of novels that are based off of a game setting rather than the other way...

    D&D 5E D&D Next not planning to compete against Pathfinder, Splatbook Hints

    I agree except the 5-player co-op. If I had 4 friends to play games with, I'd be playing actual D&D. Co-op support? Sure, awesome. Make it mandatory? It won't be getting my money.

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren settles into his chair, looking over to Jacobson and listens. When she finishes, he comments, "I'd heard the clerics complaining about rats after coming back from patrols lately, but didn't realize it was such a big problem." He glances to Hawk and the others from the previous case, "What...

    Edition warring is for chumps, but isn't D&D specific

    That is definitely part of the problem, but I'd say the root of edition warring is, in fact, the common belief that one's own opinion is the only correct opinion. Anybody disagrees, well, they must be stupid or shills. This also leads to the worst part of edition warring, when people actually...

    [LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

    Joren smiles as Jacobson says the group is big enough, and stands up. "Excellent." He picks up his pack and crossbow. Then he looks back to the food and says, "Here, let me help." He points a finger and muttering something under his breath, and the plate of food lifts into the air and starts...

    Character Submission Thread

    Fixed! Got rid of the grappling hook. With your other suggestions to gain HP, I like this a lot more. I really wanted mage hand on my sheet. :) Changed. Took it. Also swapped out my other feat for the metamagic you suggest later. (I realized, taking a move action to reload my crossbow, I'd...

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    Joren looks up to Jonas with slightly widened eyes. That expression lasts for just a moment, however, and he gives a friendly smile and a nod. He looks back to Mystie then and says, "Wait, they'd rather face undead than harm a door? Even if it was religiously important, I think the gods would...

    D&D 5E A simple method to rekindle my 5E enthusiasm (+)

    You can find it here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?1574-PAX-EAST-D-D-NEXT-Tyranny-of-Dragons-Report and http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidewalt/2014/04/11/secrets-from-the-tyranny-of-dragons/ There's not much to it, but what can I say. It hit something in me.

    D&D 5E A simple method to rekindle my 5E enthusiasm (+)

    My enthusiasm was rekindled last week. It was the Tyranny of Dragons preview. I can't specify what in it made me excited for 5e again, but suddenly I was. The Live Q&A today pushed my enthusiasm up more, as 5e seems to be going right where I'd like it to.

    [Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

    Glancing up to the bartender, Joren nods, growing slightly more sober as he says, "I'll try to be, thanks. But I guess nobody ever tries to be stupid." He looks curiously towards the new arrivals, but his attention is soon caught again by Grunger's story, sitting back in his chair as he listens...

    D&D 5E D&D Next not planning to compete against Pathfinder, Splatbook Hints

    I wouldn't say poor sales. Just, I'd say, poorer sales than the bean counters at Hasbro would like. If Wizards was still the size they were before Hasbro bought them, I doubt the 'brand' (besides licensing for videogames like Neverwinter, and the novels) would matter as much. However, with a...
