I'm glad that Garrus is back. I'm hoping that Tali makes it back as a squad-mate so that I can have the same team through all three games. As far as Ashley is concerned if I don't have to take her along she's being left behind. If the game forces me to have to bring her she's never leaving the...

And I used to think I had everything except Astromundi. Nice work on this.

For fantasy: I'd love to play in a Spelljammer or Planescape style setting where the DM was ok with "traveling circus" style characters. (things like medusa, ogres, or awakened animals.) For sci-fi: Either a TOS Star Trek game where the GM really knew the setting material or the crazy hybrid...

Well... That costume is a lot shinier than I was expecting.

I would second the recommendation of making them 4th level in Pathfinder. It will let the melee types ease into their second attack and let the spellcasters get used to gaining new spells when the roll over into 5th level (and the wiz and cleric get 3rd level spells).

Most of the warforged abilities, IMO, work as-is. For the eberron game I'm going to be running I removed the light fortification and added low-light vision and darkvision.

I co-host an RPG/tabletop podcast and I'm trying to decide which episode is the "must listen" RPG episode. I've narrowed it down to four episodes that I think really exemplify the podcast but I can't decide from there. I was hoping that you all could go here and give me your opinions of the...

To me Shadowrun just wouldn't be the same without trolls. Nothing like the 8ft tall troll hauling around a mini gun "ain't got time to bleed" style.

I can always recommend Undergopher Central, home of UnderDiscussion: the Undergopher podcast. The podcast is, more often than not, RPG-centric (we do the occasional board game review as a bonus episode.)

Thanks! I have another chargen session coming up (the first one got snowed out) then the game will start later in the month. I'm planing on recording the sessions but I haven't decided on if I'm going to make them podcast episodes. I honestly don't think that a full move and full attack is any...

The Alexandrian has some great articles.

For every game other than my Ghostbusters game I will run with a minimum of two players present. (Ghostbusters I only run for the full group because that's our "let's learn GURPS" game.) I vary rarely cancel games, and it's usually for weather.

That was one of the things that amazed me as well.

We recently sat down with with Grey Endres who is currently working on a book about legendary game designer Sid Sackson to discuss Sid and his contributions to the board gaming world. Check it out here!

Rule-less systems (I like crunch in my games) Diceless systems (I have a dice problem. I had to build a dice case because the dice bag got too small) Extremely railroady games (Prepublished adventures are fine, but anything more restrictive than that and I'm out. The first GM I played under was...

I can recommend my houserules and conversion document. It's what I'm using for my upcoming Eberron game. IMO everything mostly works with only minor changes.

I'm working my way through the Eberron novels to get more of the feel of the setting. Currently on the Inquisitives series.

If it is one or two less than the party average then no, not really a problem. (my post was a little hyperbolic with the 2-22 comment.) If it's more than that I would be a little discouraged.

If everyone else was starting at first level I'd have no problem with it. If I'm being made to play at first level when everyone else is higher level (it doesn't matter if it's level 2 or 22) then I would have an issue with that.

I always use the xp system as presented in a game when I DM because as a player I hate it when the DM decides "you'll level up when I say you will." (usually this is worded as "when I think it's appropriate.") I just don't like the feeling of arbitrariness surrounding it.
