    The Escapist on D&D Past, Present, and Future

    They might. I wouldn't be shocked honestly. As tech keeps pushing the boundaries eventually they will start having games that work so well with the computer playing the part of the GM there will be no need. How soon that happens is anyone's guess though. Of course model trains still exist. I...

    Gothic romance horror adventure..?

    One of my personal favorites is The Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis. Another one that I think sorta fits is the Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp. The Tudors tv series might not be a bad series to watch either. :)

    Gothic romance horror adventure..?

    I think it can work. I idea sounds intriguing to me. Of course I think it could work in a regular DnD setting before. I have run in and played in games with gothic horror elements and have them work well. Same goes for romance. IMHO the key to both of them working is getting the players to...

    Haunts of a desecrated druid's grove

    If you want to do a haunt for Christmas it should be about a fruitcake, those things never die and they just keep coming back every Christmas.

    Low-levelled newbie

    There is a few reasons for it, One Rechan covered. The other which I have also seen is other players sometimes get annoyed about it. Saying they earned their xp, so should the new guy.

    Lack of Female GM's

    Below is based on my personal experience and from talking to other female players in person or by forums and what not. I think there is 3 reasons you see fewer female GM's I have only meet a handful other than myself, where as almost all the male players I have meet have at least tried to GM...

    Weather in your Games?

    I use to use weather a lot more when I had a cool program that would generate weather. It had long and lat, climate, location (forest, plains etc) and final time of year. It was a very good program, sadly a number of years ago my computer died and I never could find one anywhere near as good again.

    Reviews you can trust?

    As someone that does review a lot and I am sure I am one of the people being discussed. I personally am surprised as many people seem to like my reviews as they do, yet I keep getting people not just publishers asking me to review stuff*shrug*. I personally prefer to give a bullet point review...

    Pathfinder 1E Returning to Pathfinder

    1) Not that I know of. There has been some discussions though. Though with all the 3pp support for Pathfinder for Witches you can get a big variety of spells that way. 2) Haven't used it yet so not sure. 3) Works as well in Pathfinder as it does in 3.5. 4) Not that I am aware of. 5) yes they...

    Just curious do you plan to turn your guide into a document when you are done and post it somewhere?

    Why the thought of D&D 5e makes me sad...

    Well no pics where taken. It was just one of those things, I only knew the guy by way of gaming and one night on a cancelled night at his place no one else showed up but me. We played board and computer games, then drank way to much beer and well.... and that is just all the details you boys...

    PCs dealing with sexuality

    I have seen it done only once. A male PC that took over half the campaign to come to terms with his sexuality. It was well done. I think the problem for why many don't do it is simple. That is something it would be very easy to get wrong if you have not experienced it yourself and most players...

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    When i say character I mean PC. Though the rules applying to PC's and NPC's differently is another thing that bugs me. But I won't get into that since that is not on topic. :)

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    Perfectly understandable. I do agree 4e does a very good job of capturing what I call high cinematic feel combat and games. Which if you like that, it works greats. Me I tend more towards gritty and dark style games. Which is why it bugs me on a personal level.

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    True the difference is in 3e and what I remember of 1e (played very little 2e) you needed magical healing or it would take you days if not weeks to recover. Which implied you was hurt. In 4e a good nights rest and your fine. I am not saying it is good or bad, only saying that it bugs me and that...

    I don't get the dislike of healing surges

    That is kinda the problem or part of it for me. In 4e characters seem to be in only 2 conditions. Dead or just had the wind knocked out of them. I mean after a single nights sleep they are perfectly fine means nothing was to serious or they died. All this with no magical help, just natural...
