I was wondering how many combinations there are for rolling 3d6 six times (A lot I discovered). Then I was trying to figure out how to calculate the number of combinations for rolling 4d6, drop low, rolled six times. Still working on that one, as I do not that formula.

To be honest, I was viewing each roll, regardless of its value, as a unique entry. So, instead of viewing it as having two 18s, I was viewing it as 18A and 18B. Plus, I being lazy and not crunching number in a more complex formula. Also, when you think of it, the mental exercise shows that with...

I, for one, have no problem with either company protecting their intellectual property. When I am in their situation I will do the same. In the past I have stood up for WotC when they do a C&D even though I don't necessarily like their IP. I understand the fanatic devotion to your company of...

Not to derail the conversation, but I prefer to roll my attributes because I do not like the cookie-cutter characters I see from point-buy. That may be just me, but but that is what I see. Plus there is the fact that I started gaming well before point-buy systems were invented. I am used to...

To play Mr. Probability here, the chance of rolling four 1s is 1 in 1296 or roughly 0.077% (as you said). So, technically, you will most likely roll it once in 1296 rolls. Sure, it is a statistically small number. However, I have seen it happen more than once in my years of gaming. Heck, I have...

Thanks,I appreciate it. As an update: Be the first one to contribute to Send A Game Designer To GenCon and receive an additional surprise incentive!

An update: I am working on getting additional perks for mid-level contributors and above. What do you think would make a good one?

Sadly, no. It is Plymouth, MN.

Moderators: If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize and ask that it be moved to the appropriate one. Hi folks! My name is Stephen Miller and I am an unemployed game designer. I've done work with GURPS 3rd edition as well as the d20 games of Sherwood: The Legend of Robin Hood and Gaslight...

Something you might want to check out is Medieval Demographics Made Easy by S. John Ross. It is a great article which will help you with city and nation planning and will give you a good idea on how much land a city should occupy based on its population. I use the info in this article on a...

I just got a gift of a GenCon Badge for this year. I have a place to stay, but I am looking for a way to get there. If someone is coming from the Minneapolis-St Paul area, I would be more then willing to help drive (good record, insurance, and AAA). I know the route there, as I was at GenCon in...

Looks lovely. Sadly, I cannot afford to purchase one. That is why I am trying to work out a trade. Might even offer a signed copy of Gaslight Victorian Fantasy for Savage Worlds. Seems I know one of the authors. :D

I don't suppose anyone has an extra dice tower with which they are willing to part? I can trade some none Free RPG stuff, or even do a special writeup for you. Let's talk!

That looks great! Now I am really depressed that I have no way of participating in Free RPG Day this year.

Prier games exp. should probably just read "Prior exp." or maybe "Prior Session Exp." Not sure what M HP means. C HP I think means Current HP, right? I think that if you are not going to use Sheet 2 or Sheet 3 you should delete them. Also, rename Sheet one to something like Tracker. Instead of...

I will see if I can find it. I was a player and it is what the Ref used to give background. I think it came from one of the adventures, possibly Secret of the Ancients.

I have to admit, if they are trying to entice me to subscribe, making at least one or two available to non-subscribers, with the tease that more are available with a subscription, might help. Of course, making sure that more nostalgic material is available on an ongoing basis might be a bit of a...

The Jester article requires a subscription. The interview with Kim was a bit of a fluff piece, since it appears he does not remember much from back then, but it was interesting none the less.

At first I was a bit reluctant to tell my tale of pain, but here goes. In late 2009 I asked the D&D gaming group that I DM if we could take a brief break and have one of the players run a game of Classic Traveller for me. You see, back on Christmas day of 1979 I got a copy of Traveller. That...

I run a 3.x D&D game every other Sunday from the end of October through the end May (we just had our last game). Summer is reserved for outdoor and/or family stuff. We are also all performers at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, so that occupies our weekends in August and September. I am also...
