I'm not sure that all of those are necessarily errors. Where did you come up with +9 Bluff and +10 Diplomacy for Jarvix? I figure he should have +10 Bluff (Tiefling), and only +8 Diplomacy. Is it possible that Phye's iron spear has a +3 proficiency bonus? Maybe (since the default weapons are...

I love this, too!

From reading threads here, and various D&D-related blogs and such, I've come to feel like I've got some very different play preferences than (what appears to be) the majority of people. 1. Combat Length. I see tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of posts, blogs, podcasts, and what have...

I'm surprised to see how many people consider a TPK the unequivocal end of their campaign. I haven't seen a single person in this thread even suggest that perhaps the game, with the same characters, could go on. I guess I'm too used to video games, or perhaps I'm too unwilling to scrap the...

Very cool!

Are you talking about the second season of D&D Encounters, or is this some other living campaign in Dark Sun that you're talking about? Something like LFR, but in Dark Sun? If so, that's awesome!

Dark Sun is the best setting ever. I'm really excited about its return!

This bears repeating, I think.

Haha, yeah. We've done this before, and joked about doing it a lot. The term I coined for this sort of thing is "filibustering the DM".

Indeed. I love the different kinds of dice and how they represent different narrative factors in the result of an action. It really gives you a lot of information that you can use to describe events, if you want to.

I love dice pools. The new Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd edition has a really cool dice pool resolution mechanic. And Shadowrun is one of my favorite games of all time.

Cool stuff. McGyver action pointed twice in one encounter?

Thank you for your help, guys. That looks like it'll work well. And yeah, of course I already asked all of my players how they felt about it, and they all like the idea.

I'd really like to audio record the sessions of my upcoming campaign and make them an actual play podcast. I have no experience with this, however, and no recording "stuff". I'll be running these games in my home, and have a desktop PC at the table. Any advice for what kind of microphone or...

I would really love this. I dislike 3.x/Pathfinder, mechanically, but I love the way Paizo writes their adventures. I like 4E, mechanically, but I dislike the way WotC writes their adventures. If someone started putting out adventures that managed to combine these two things that I like, I'd...

I just looked all through the most recent errata, and the compiled errata, and find nothing to this effect. I suspect that this is not true, and is most likely the fairly common mistake of confusing the "restrained" condition for being grabbed. Restrained and immobilized are two different...

What I'd like to do is paste large blocks of text from Microsoft Word 2007 files directly into a series of posts on the Story Hour forum. When I do so, all of the formatting, like bold and italics and such, is lost. I know that I could go through and manually re-do all of that in the post...

I think it's that number 3 that's questionable. I can definitely see how a person could make that interpretation, it's not entirely unreasonable. But it's also not entirely necessary. It's possible that you're adding that meaning in yourself, as the text per se does not make that an...

I think that this is really the crux of the whole argument, and the biggest issue I have with it. This perception, this idea that there's a problem here. That's what I disagree with. I think the fact that you "need" to use the various methods of increasing accuracy (either through character...

I disagree with everyone else. I would rule that you absolutely get your Sneak Attack damage with that power on a hit. Yes, by the strict reading of the RAW that states "Once per round, when you have combat advantage against an enemy and hit that enemy with an attack that uses a crossbow, a...
