You might consider these forums as well: http://privateerpressforums.com/forumdisplay.php?6-Miniatures-Painting-and-Modeling Privateer Press is mainly about producing miniatures, so there's a decent painting community on their forums.

Well, regardless of their reasoning, naturally you know what to do now. That Prophet is your next BBEG. :devil::devil::devil:

This campaign concept feels like Sliders d20 to me. As such, I'd throw out all the established planar stuff because, as you've mentioned, most of it is meant for far higher-level characters and I think it'd be more work and more cumbersome to tweak it for low-levels, than to just scrap it and...

Not sure how to take this comment. On the one hand you say no offense intended, on the other you reaffirm that you think anyone who enjoys seeing a woman in a chainmail bikini must be stuck in puberty. :confused: Fair enough, given the context of the reference I didn't see a joke. I re-read...

Ah, I see now. I mistakenly thought you were talking about two separate instances. :blush: Yeah...I got nothing. Did the prophet make a move on a PC's ladyfriend or something? :erm:

The prophet I can see, actually. That doesn't sound like a payoff so much as the start of a long-ass adventure. And if they didn't care for the prophet himself or had some other issue with that questline, I could seem abandoning it favor of another equally heroic-sounding objective (keep the...

I enjoy seeing pretty women in skimpy clothes. I know women who enjoy seeing well-built men in same. I am somewhat offended by your insinuation that because of such, our minds are still "stuck in puberty." Why on earth do I care how uncomfortable they are? It's a fantasy. Pretty sure regular...

Has anyone seen the magus in play at high levels? Our group is looking to start a new campaign soon, and Pathfinder seems to be the system we're going with, in part because our longest-running campaign up to this point (2+ years) was 3.5. I'm enough of a powergamer to be irked if I'm not at...

As a setting, The Iron Kingdoms has a pretty strong steampunk vibe. :)

Thing is, I've found things in published 3.5 material towards the end of its cycle that I'd definitely classify as "overpowered and weak of concept." I don't blame my players if such a thing catches their eye, but I'm not afraid of saying "no" to something that could get out of hand. ;)...

The "life spiral" seems unpleasantly complex, but otherwise intrigued by what I'm seeing. :)

I actually wouldn't have a problem with this myself as a DM. Unless he's purposefully using munchkin builds or something (1 level of 3 classes plus certain prestige class, etc. etc.) I see no reason to punish a player for building their character efficiently. For some players (myself included...

I like the concept of players being able to increase their ability scores. Perhaps 5 times between levels 1 and 20 is a bit much (I might go for say, 3 benchmarks,) but I have no problem with the rigors of adventuring allowing the PCs to have gotten stronger or smarter than the average townie...

I've always appreciated the names in the spells. They're just free flavor. Perhaps I feel less concerned with them because none of my players would ever assume the names meant anything beyond the possibility that somewhere in my self-created campaign world, someone was once named Mordencainen...

Are you the GM or the player, in this situation? As the GM you have more control, and I'd simply suggest that you disallow everything but the core rules, requiring everything else be okayed by you before coming in. This is pretty much how I start all my games. I also require a hardcopy of any...

I enjoy flavor magic items a great deal myself, though I tend to custom-make them, rather than randomize them. One of my most successful was a belt which increased one's strength, but for purposes of encumbrance only. Assuming you enforce encumbrance, you'd be surprised how pleased this can...

So folks have mentioned that 5e will need to be spectacular to draw gamers away from their currently preferred editions, but it does have one thing going for it that I think hasn't been emphasized much...it'll be new. As someone who has played a lot of systems over the years, this is not...

I ran my first skill challenge last week, which I think went fairly well. I decided that rather than try and coax the PCs into a transparent version, I'd go with the Mini-Game approach, which seemed to work fairly well. I announced the Skill Challenge, along with the objective of the challenge...

I say have the blacksmith make the sword. To create it, he'll need some of the PC's blood freely given, and his true name freely spoken. Using his last bar of fae-wrought steel, the blacksmith forges a sword of unspeakable power, with the PC's name engraved in the blade, and quenched in the...

I agree. He's like Maris, Niles' wife on Frasier. :p
