Didn't fel like hunting it down?

Yeah, I've mentioned this before. With a rules heavy system, the solution, strangely enough, isn't more rules. It's building the options into the rules. This is why Hero and GURPS, despite a wealth of options, tend to not have a ton of new rules but rather ways to skin them. Or at least in my...

The funny thing is I've never seen a post by FASERIP directly claiming to be me. The image thing was weird but I've got to scan some ID and send it to Wordpress and they'll take care of that. In terms of getting ahold of FASERIP, the profile has no contact information. He's somebody's sock puppet.

People talking about Dancing With Dragons, if you were afraid of the wait time, why did you buy the book? Don't reward bad behavior with cash. George will get my money when the series is done, not before.

I stuck with the timeline in 3rd ed.

The necromancers took all I had and all I ever wanted. They animated my bride and children and left me claiming I was unworthy to join them. They were wrong. I would show them that I was the greatest master of necromancy and free my wife and child from their undead state. They would know...

Depends on where you look. If you're running the Realms in 4e using the 4e, then no, the information was rendered pretty useless. The massive advance in the time line took care of that. It was one of the things that even with the Avatar crisis, you could kind of gloss over in a lot of areas...

The important thing is that WoTC is going to have a PDF solution "soon".

Depends on the level of the campaign. Like most things, it can add a feel to the campaign. Like most things that are added, it creates another level of complexity. This is true especially if you are not overcompensating the players because in 3rd and 4th edition, the wealth by levels is built...

Figured I'd start a new thread as the old ones have fallen off the page: 1. In terms of epic support, wouldn't one of the easiest ways to do this, at least for monsters, be to update material like Legends and Lore where whole pantheons could be updated? 2. The new monster book seems to...

On a few blogs and other spots, I've seen some nonsense that I, Joe Kushner, am using another id, FASERIP, as a sock puppet. Anyone know how that started or how to put an end to it? Mods, if this is in the wrong forum, please move it. Thanks.

And the other thing that Paizo has going for it, that I don't think has really been hit on here, is the OGL and their own licenseing. Some very strong companies have come along to boost Pathfinder, much more so than 4e. Another benefit is the compatibility factor between 3e and Pathfinder...

Hope the PDF is ready soon. I'd like to get a look at it prior to the actual book hitting the old shores of Kushnerland.

But, doesn't that in part, depend on how you define core rules? WotC got a little greedy with 4e declaring everything core and everything inclusiving and pleading with GM's to be 'Yes' style GM's until they came out with Dark Sun and said, "Well, sometimes it's okay to say no... like when you...

joe_g_kushner From 2008! Pretty funny looking back at it now.

The act of role playing itself is not to everyone's taste. Some people are there to socialize. Others are there to roll the dice. Some are there to fiddle with the rules and see what shakes out. Roleplaying, to me at least, is best brought about when dealing with a well grounded group that...

I've been blogging about the various Bernard Conrwell books I've been keeping up on. This dude writes fast and I've enjoyed most of his books. The Saxon Tales and the retelling of Arthur were good and I've even read a few of the Sharpe books.

In terms of "we've gotta sell more splat books!"... Why did they stop after Player's Handbook III? Why did they stop after Martial Power 2? Why, for all intents and purposes, is the Essential Line a reboot/streamline of the rules? If selling to players is the golden rule and is the make all...

And yet this thread is an indication that Pathfinder as a RPG is outselling D&D. And were it not, places like iCV2 indicate that it's almost always #2. This seems a pretty sound business model.

To me, this seems a no-brainer. Quit making things for people to make characters and focus on things for people to play the game. Revising the rules, making expansions and selections and tweaking it ad infinitum, is not going to make people play more and after you're tenth book of Heroes of...
