Yeah, I'd let that happen. The spell's description says that you can affect one square with concealment with a "burst of dust and grit." The spell's description doesn't specifically say that the dust and grit can be used to extinguish a fire, but a look at the rules for dousing a fire...

In short... I don't have a default answer to player requests. There's just too much to consider in any given request to come up with a typical blanket response to cover most situations. I'm glad that it's not a poll, because my reactions cover a spectrum. :) If it's something obvious, logical...

Got mine on Thursday of last week, but damned if I didn't use it right away--my regular Pathfinder group actually wanted to make characters right away. So now I've got a Vampire group ready to go, making it tough to finish out the Pathfinder campaign...

I've always enjoyed the pseudo-historical implications of the Hyborian Age myself. That's also one of the things that I've enjoyed about the various World of Darkness games. Maybe it's slightly off-topic, but it's fresh in my mind because of the recent release of the 20th Anniversary Edition of...

Demand One: The difference between the cost of a 1st-level magic item and a 30th-level magic item is 3,124,640 gold pieces! That's a disparity of 8,681 to 1! I demand a fair living magic item parcel! A minimum of one 20th-level item per character in each parcel! Demand Two: The leader classes...

In your campaign, you don't seem to need to... Think outside of the box? :) Someone was eventually going to say it. I just got it out of the way for you.

For Pathfinder, six players is my magic number. That allows people to have some options without feeling shoe-horned, as well as allowing character types that aren't necessarily optimal but can be situationally useful (bard, monk, multiclassed characters). Six players is also awesome because we...

Yeah, this seems like another classic case of underestimating the demand. Tome of Horrors Complete is another recent example, but it's hardly a new thing in gaming circles--Player's Handbook II for D&D 4E was awfully hard to get when it first came out (the .pdf policy changed around that time...

For what it's worth, the .pdf is available for sale now: Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition - White Wolf | DriveThruRPG.com Plans for a print-on-demand version are supposed to be settled some time around November.

Unfortunately... Many of the people that play RPGs are sort of flaky. They're either passive-aggressive and drop out of a group rather than deal with something that's bothering them, or they are just so flat-out inconsiderate that they don't bother to communicate at all. Of course, not every...

Did you ever do an extensive writeup for your own city for Vampire? I know that many groups played in their hometowns, but I haven't really seen people do much writing about it (except insanely long character backgrounds as big as some novels). I've sort of been carrying it around in my head for...

The art recycling is sort of obvious to me. :p Then again, I ran a Vampire: the Masquerade chronicle as recently as last year and casually read the books just because I like to read them. I'm probably a bit more familiar with the classic art than I should be. Still, it didn't bother me. It felt...

There's a .pdf available, although I'm not sure if it's available to the general public or just to folks that ordered the hardcover. It seems like the .pdf would be available to anyone that wants it, I'd imagine. Werewolf will be cool too. I could never find a werewolf group that I fit in with...

Yep. I own two copies of the 1e Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide, five copies of the 2E Player's Handbook, two copies of the 2E Dungeon Master's Guide, two copies of each of the 3E and 3.5 Player's Handbook, and several duplicates of published adventures (I6 Ravenloft, Tomb of...

I was able to take some time to actually read it today. It's fun to see what's changed and what hasn't. Me and my current group are planning our new chronicle now, good stuff... :)

For 3.5 supplements, I'd assume that you get the core rulebooks. I'd also pick up Spell Compendium. There's some stuff in it that you should carefully consider or disallow (depending on your preferred style of play and all that), but overall, I feel that there's enough wheat amongst the chaff...

I still have my 3E books and would gladly play it again... Haven't played it since 2003 though. Still, I have a pretty good memory for how things went down. Here are the major things about 3E that I remember being issues. First of all, haste is insanely good. Since it actually gives you an...

I received a rather pleasant surprise in my email today. Although the hardcopy hasn't shipped yet, I got my copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition Vampire: the Masquerade today as a .pdf. Anyone else have it tonight? :)

Marcielle's on the right track. You didn't mention interest in Pathfinder, but you can actually play Pathfinder for free in the same way: http://www.d20pfsrd.com If you enjoy Pathfinder, cool. If not... Well, you can try it for free before laying down the cash for the core rules. It's also...

I noticed this too, when I was living in Japan as an exchange student. I ran a 2E game (circa 1995) with a very basic plot--gnolls were attacking outlying farms, and the characters were in the farming villages trying to hold them back until the army could be raised to deal with the threat. My...
