    Apologies to anyone that showed and left because I wasn't there; I was running late, and then with the bike race I was running later. So where & when do we want to try this again?

    p.s. You can get my e-mail from my profile. I dunno where I'll get a seat in the cafe, but I'll lay out the 4E PHB in plain sight and be wearing a yellow shirt. Also, for those new to the are, Sweetwaters is on Washington between Main and Ashley, not Liberty. Sorry, my B'.

    Alright guys. I've run into a free Sunday afternoon this weekend, 9/7. My original idea was to get together at Sweetwaters downtown and have a little meet & greet so we know who we're gaming with. Would people want to do such a thing, or try to meet up somewhere to jump into a game or what? If...

    Online Play: Who is doing it, where and how?

    If you really want a chatroom-style program with a map tool I, I really can't help you I'm sorry. One thing to consider though is a forum-based game. There are a few things that I like about forum games. One is that I get to flex my creative/writing skills. I also appreciate that they're...

    Recruiting for Solo 4E (mostly) homebrew campaign: Arca Terra

    Oh I was just throwing an idea out there for the race in general, not my character. I'm perfectly happy with Barastav the way he is. :)

    Recruiting for Solo 4E (mostly) homebrew campaign: Arca Terra

    Sounds great. That's about what I was thinking too. It's also nice to know that I had about the same chronology as you, with decades passing. The Greatsword was a bad on my part; somehow I missed that it was in fact in the 2-Handed list, like I thought it should've been. I was intending for him...

    Recruiting for Solo 4E (mostly) homebrew campaign: Arca Terra

    Barastav The Torino waited patiently in their alcoves to either side of the torch-lit hallway. Barastav could hear the herd of running footsteps coming towards them and the bloody cries of gore-hungry men not far enough behind, and his Core burned hotter with the promise of battle. As the last...

    My Sci Fantasy notes

    Ok very cool write-ups for the races. What has meeting alien races done to humanity? Speaking overly-simply and broadly, has it lead to exoticism of the new races, prejudice, a wary but accepting eye? The reaction and its level would be different for each race, I imagine. I can just see...

    My Sci Fantasy notes

    So where does the "magic" come from? Is it all psychic, or some kind of super-meditation science, or for real magic? What are the metaphysics and greater, planar cosmology like? You account for Eladrin and Dragonborn as aliens. Are the rest of the demi-human races genetically engineered...

    My Sci Fantasy notes

    Well so far so good. What do you hope to do with the setting? Is this for a particular game, or to have a setting to set games in? You call it Sci-Fantasy, but aside from the scientific fantasies of mech's and clones I'm not seeing the "fantasy." Where's that come in? Where do the Races and...

    Well, as no one else has really jumped up to do so, what say I run the attempted 4E game? I like knowing who I'm gaming with so how about we get together for coffee some time in September, my treat (unfortunately I can't start a game sooner if I'm running). We can feel each other out in person...

    Sadly my work schedule prohibits interacting with the UM club much. Like, at all. Ever. Outside of their annual con'. I'm not set on 4E in life, but my interest at the moment is trying it out.

    D&D 4E A Balanced 4E Pet System

    Ok. I get not just what the intent for the feats was but also their intended implementation. Thanks for the further explanation, VincentRVenturella . For some reason I had it stuck in my head when I started reading the original post that, because the companions are divided in numerically...

    Minor Change: Magic Missile

    FireLance's suggestion is great, it has a very different feel and it's a feel I like. But Magic Missile as printed isn't bad. It has a higher base and potential damage, MUCH better range and is a Ranged Basic attack. It doesn't sound like much but I think that Ranged Basic is what makes it...

    D&D 4E A Balanced 4E Pet System

    I like the idea. Reading through the 4E PHB I missed the familiars and mounts and stuff. Oh I understand why they cut them, but I thought there should still be the option somewhere... This post is largely critical, but please understand that I mean it as a compliment. These are just my...

    Hey, All. I'm an Ann Arborite with an itch for some 4E action. Anyone know of any groups looking to start a game or games with openings? I work nights during the week so I'm really only around on weekends. Bi-weekly would be preferable but after August I could swing weekly. I'd rather play but...
