    CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR - Is This The End, Or Is There More To Come?

    They can't complete a contract. Why would any sane person send them money.

    D&D 4E Is there a "Cliffs Notes" summary of the entire 4E experience?

    Personal experience. Our first read through reaction was: meh, I don't get it. We played through the launch title Shadowfel (something or other), and it was a lot of fun. We were happy and thought, ok we get it now. Then we played some more games, got some levels, and it quickly became...

    How would you let this play out?

    Evil overlords never send EVERYONE until it's too late. They always underestimate the party, and never cry to the boss for help because that gets them replaced. Why does the overlord have all those forces? Do they get along so well they could all be sent after the same thing? Is there some...

    D&D 5E Just a reality check.

    Reality check -?- This is the internet, I reject your reality and substitute my own. And my reality is: my friends and I like this version, and we will enjoy it while we eagerly await Exalted and hope it doesn't suck. And slip in a few Savage Worlds games between campaigns, or when too many...

    D&D 5E I think I'll leave out feats

    I think feats are a primary example of why the new system is awesome - you can leave them out or let them in with no effort. I am entertained by the idea that the options will make the min-mixer's heads explode. In our games, we always have players who want to play simply, and others who want...

    The D100 is Broken

    The d100 is forever off by one. This is a problem that programmers deal with constantly, but we seem to try to ignore it when we roll dice. Plus, the zero is usually a zero, but 1% of the time it’s a 10, sort of. So let’s say we have a 60% chance to succeed. If I roll a 60, then I hit, but...

    Non-turn based rpg's?

    Exalted 2nd Edition. In brief: initiative (they call it "join battle) is rolled yielding a 0 to 6. Subtract what you rolled from 6 to get your starting tick, so rolling a 6, becomes a 0, meaning you go first. On your tick you take an action. that action has a speed from 4 (fast) to 6 (slow)...

    FLOWCHART: Navigating NPR's Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books

    As far as flow charts go, this one is terrible. The structure is really bad, if you actually try to follow it. And the recommendations are poor. Granted, referrals are subjective, but seriously - "never read fantasy, start with LotR"? How about the Hobbit instead.

    D&D 4E D&D 4ed Power Tracker

    I played with this some today. There are Level tags later in file, that contain RulesElements, where the powers are referenced for a 3rd time. I thought it would be possible to find all the elements of type=power, then crawl up the parents to find a type=level, then save the power and level in...

    D&D 4E D&D 4ed Power Tracker

    On my win7 machine, the window is mostly off-screen. The window border is visible on the right hand side. I was able to get to the Tools menu and un-check "pin to side". This brings the window back to center. Annoyingly, it always starts in "pin to side" mode. I was thinking about making...

    Character Builder WTFs per minute

    Who wrote this thing? It's abysmal. I've only used it as much as I had to, and my WTFs per minute are between 3 and 7. My printed character (7th level) is 7 pages. SEVEN PAGES!? Aren't we trying to save a tree here boys? As a Wizard, I get to pick 2 level 1 daily spells, but I can only...
