    Into the Lion's Den (Dealing with extreme prejudice in game)

    Fear is an important part of racism, especially if the object of your racism is one of those adventuring types who does who know what. So don't do a lot of shouting insults, yelling at characters to get out, town guards being hugely abusive or anything like that (although the last one is...

    How drunk do I get? - need rules for intoxication

    Drinking should be a roleplaying experience, it should not be a thing that involves rolls. If you do that then you're basically telling your players that you're going to punish them for roleplaying having fun. Plus factoring all the variables into the system would be a huge pain given that...

    Bell Curve - Ramifications?

    Give me a linear system any day of the week. Maybe I'm weird but bell curves totally break my immersion in the game. A plus +2 circumstance penalty to difficulty would decrease my chances by 25% if going from a 10 to a 12, but going from a 16 to an 18 is only a 2% reduction. And because 18s...

    Underused Monsters

    The problem is our language simply doesn't account for nonhuman sapient races. Whether the halflings are cannibals they're obviously ramen though.

    How do you think 4E will morph?

    Things I want: More Powers More Rituals More Feats More Classes More Paragon Paths Way More Epic Destinies I hope they can keep power creep in check. I also hope they can manage it that a new class is not horribly inferior to the old classes because said new class hasn't had years of splat...

    D&D 4E How does 4E hold up on verisimilitude?

    An attack roll represents your skill at maneuvering your weapon into the opponent. It represents reading your opponent, knowing how best to swing your weapon, knowing different attack styles to use in different situations. A hit means you forced them to do something, whereas a miss is when...

    Tissue-Paper Dungeons?

    Magic Weapons could presumably handle the stress of breaking through rock. Any such tunneling would make enough noise to attract extra monsters in any game I was running though.

    D&D 4E New 4E Class: Gunner?
