    My introduction to 3 RPGs of different styles than I'm used to.

    Yup, but they also all fit my definition of RPG.

    My introduction to 3 RPGs of different styles than I'm used to.

    I'm a Pathfinder player, and I've played a plethora of D&D-styled (including many editions of D&D itself, obviously) and d20 RPGs. Today however was new to me. The three games I played were definitely roleplaying games. I was playing a role of a character who wasn't me after all, but they were...

    Order of the Stick 859: Smoked

    Hunh, so it does. Must've misread that. I forget sometimes that Sabine's a succubus. It'll be interesting to see if she gets banished or not.

    Order of the Stick 859: Smoked

    I imagine Durkon's equal to, or higher in level than all of them (that the spell hit, thus excluding Malack) except Tarquin. The linear guild differs from most major villains by having the same numbers as the "PCs" without the aid of minions, and thus they don't need to be higher level to keep...

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    I've updated the blog again, this time with its first good-aligned monster. As always, enjoy!

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    Today was a special Friday the 13th update. Two monsters, one trained animal, 13 stat blocks. I hope you enjoy.

    I'm Sick Of...(D&D tropes that you can do without)

    I'd get rid of the concept of "necessary" roles in a party, if at all possible. I hate the idea that a party "needs" a melee fighter, a healer, a mage, and a rogue type, and that players all-too-often get forced to play classes they don't want to because others in their party insist that a role...

    Can a FLGS be TOO friendly?

    I think [OMENRPG]Ben hit on a big reason above. Each employee is covering their own section, they may not necessarily have time to easily connect with each other and confirm that you've already said you're just browsing, so each one has to check with you. And of course there's always other...

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    Glad you enjoy it. :) The winged bugbears are some of my favourites too. They can be devastating in the right situations.

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    We have a bonus update, as today is Canada Day. Head on over to the blog for the terrifying half-white/half-red dragon known as True North.

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    Today's update is a simple but classic one. A giant gelatinous cube should make for a fun, simple encounter at low levels, as well as a huge monster that can be taken on at lower levels than most of its size. --Edit: As I see we're on a new page, here's a link to the blog again: CR 1/7 (One...

    If anybody ever needs a giant undead snake, I have one here for you as of today.

    Stuff D&D players never say (except when they do)

    This one gets said pretty frequently to the sorcerer: "Hostile NPCs don't like getting fireballed mid-negotiation!"

    Happy Free RPG Day! (2012 edition - How was your day?)

    Argh, I knew there was something I forgot to do this weekend! :(

    Girl Power!

    ^To be fair, getting large numbers of participants and repeating tests many times is hard to do for a single person, and would take a ridiculous amount of time considering it's about a tabletop RPG. I'd just think of it as being the closest to a scientific study that a non-professional (I...

    Girl Power!

    Yeah, political correctness can get a bit silly sometimes. It's something that should never need to be done (ideally nobody would ever be offensive, and nobody would ever get offended. That's just an ideal though), but generally should be done anyways, to avoid angering people. An RPG site has...

    Girl Power!

    Stacie is correct to point out that a lot of trangendered people don't take offense to political correctness (unless things are deliberately meant to be insulting), but of course many others do take offense. Best to err on the side of caution. It sounds like you know and are friends with your...

    Girl Power!

    Sounds interesting, though a couple of notes on correctness in experimental format (there may be more mistakes than I've spotted, but these two things jumped out at me as things that some people could get REALLY offended at, and which I remember university research methodology courses stating to...

    [VtM]Help a newbie out

    In my experience WoD NPCs will pretty much always tell the new vampire/werewolf/whatever to shut up and ignore the majority of, if not all attempts from said newbies to roleplay. That changes around after a while and does so faster if you all started as newbies (woe unto you if you're new to the...

    CR 1/7 - A monster-a-week project

    The update that was supposed to come yesterday was delayed by construction knocking out my electricity. Sorry about that. Today's update is a dragon, and the toughest monster I've posted up so far.
