I like the sound of pretty much everything in here. Options are good, and this encourages players to at least give a passing glance at a backstory when they're rolling up a new character (something that can mechanically be completely ignored in 3.5 and 4E). I really hope that they build in...

True enough, and if you go into a GW store and ask for a GW product that they don't normally carry stock of, you can order it in (although it's a bit fiddly - what you're actually doing it ordering from their website to get delivered to their shop - not really ideal, and not as helpful as I'd...

But that all comes with the assumption that the reason for the shop being there is purely to sell product. As I said in my original post, that's not the primary reason that the GW shops are there. I'm pretty sure GW HQ will have had a conversation about whether it's worth taking away some of...

In one of my regular games, the guy who GMs most often suspected that a player might be fudging some of his important rolls. He pointed it out to the other players when the culprit wasn't around, and in response we relentlessly took the mick out of the player for a few sessions whenever he...

When I DM, I roll almost exclusively in the open, keeping very few rolls secret (usually my rolls for "does something happen", when the players don't know exactly what I'm rolling for anyway). Let the dice fall as they do, sometimes I've hit a player with 2 or 3 crits in an encounter, one time...

Sounds good - I've been looking for something for condition tracking and things in 4E, "Until end of next turn" effects seem to be something I can never keep straight in my head at the table. How smoothly do you think it would work if you didn't use all the features, such as only the...

Haven't read the full thread, so don't know if anyone has said this - but GW don't make a lot of money from their stores. That's not why the shops are there. GW shops are there for the purpose of getting new players in - put shiny, nicely painted models and big banners in the windows, give...

Just reading through the pre-release things for Zeitgeist, it looks like it's shaping up to be a great set of Adventures. I was wondering if there were any GMs out there thinking of running an online group for the Adventure Path? If anyone was thinking of running it GMT times, I'd be really...

I picked up the new Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale yesterday, and have to say I'm impressed - love the fluff content, lot's of ready made adventure hooks just waiting to be pinned up and to have things hung off of them. Just thought it might be interesting to see how other DMs are...
