Sounds like 13th Age. It was pretty great at getting me and my players to talk about what they expected to happen in the game. One player wanted to go on a holy crusade against evil, so he picked negative relationships with as many villain icons as he could. Another wanted to explore shades of...

I think that DM should have laid out what, in broad terms, was going on behind the scenes to the players beforehand, so that they could prepare their characters accordingly. It sounds like someone wrote up a pirate character for a campaign that takes place in dungeons under cities. Nothing is...

I think so. Page 81 states "Your attack bonus with a spell attack equals your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus." Page 7 also states that you add your proficiency bonus to "Attack rolls with spells you cast." It mentions nothing of needing to be proficient with the spell.

I hope so. I know I had a lot of fun with a Cleric who was swinging from his own Rope Trick, slinging spells at things, and casting Command ("Drop!") on any enemies foolish enough to climb up after me. Perhaps "R" might enjoy this too.

We did see an Arcanist cleric, who picked cantrips and domain spells from the Wizard's spell list, received no additional armor or weapon proficiencies (but did automatically receive the Mage Armor cantrip), and could Channel Magical Might, which could be used when the Cleric casted a spell and...

*No Kendurr in the PHB *The books and their typesetting look too nice for me to write in them *Characters can die /ragequit

I've a three-way tie: Cleric, Bard, Paladin. I'm really hoping that something similar to the Arcanist sub-class for the Cleric appears (perhaps the Knowledge domain?), that the Blackguard makes a reappearance, and that the Bard has a martial sub-class not unlike 13th Age's Bard or 4e's Warlord...

The group ability check rule (p. 59) is amazing! In short, if everyone in the group is making the same ability check for something (the example given is Survival checks to navigate a swamp), and at least half the group succeeds, the whole group succeeds (if not, the group fails). I'll probably...

I've ran a bit of Paranoia XP, which features Perversity Points, which are points that can modify rolls. Paranoia encourages GMs to give these out to reward players for doing things the GMs like, in manner compared to Pavlov's dog training experiment. Personally, I found that being generous with...

Nice. I stand corrected then. It's great to see such teamwork happening. Oh. Joy. You're right. Editing that post.

Found a silly typo from Chapter 4: Edit: not a typo. My bad.

I'm digging the simple Inspiration rules presented. I was already preparing to house-rule something similar, but this works rather well. I like how players are encouraged to give their Inspiration to other players for their RP, but I don't think I'd actually see that at the table. :/

Add me to your growing list of people who DMed their first D&D experience. I got the 3.5 starter box when I was in my early teens ('04?), ran it for three of my siblings. I ended up just running that for sometime, shoehorning in extra levels from the PHB (the box only supported levels 1-2!) so...

Hello! First time poster here, and I'm interested in playing! I'm looking to get into PbP seeing as my local group's split up. I'm not in a game right now, and would be able to post regularly. If I get to play, I'd probably want to play the new shiny Bard, as I've not yet seen one in play, or...
