I'm going to try greybrushing, since my miniatures, when completely painted, always seem so dark since I only use black primer.

Great. My only advice is that you finish what you start before moving on. That really applies more to people getting into tabletop wargames like Warhammer or historical battles. But still, you don't want to be that guy with a lot of unpainted figures laying around. Plenty of times over the...

Are you painting individual miniatures for roleplaying or armies for warhammer, etc.?

1 billion years? In the Grim Darkness of the Far Far Far Far Far Future there is only WHAT? ;)

Has anybody read "The Auld Alliance" in Dragon Magazine #216 , by Arthur Collins? A lot of what Water Bob is saying reminds me of that article. In fact, I agree with what Water Bob is doing. Collins wrote that to keep a gaming group together for the long haul every player has to be committed...

1. Go old school with any of the older editions of D&D before 3e or a retroclone. 2. Have the players keep track of all of the characters abilities, skills, powers, and equipment on 3''x5" index cards. 3. If the description of an ability, skill, power, or piece of equipment can't fit on the...

I don't want WotC promoting my hobby or influencing what happens at my gaming table, because WotC doesn't really encourage players to become imaginative anymore. Instead, players are supposed to follow the game rules as written without much deviance or risk to their characters, all in the name...

I doubt that the D&D movie franchise can recover from the original D&D movie enough to actually make a movie that a mainstream audience would like. Wrath of the Dragon God was okay, better than the first. But neither of those movies, nor from what I can tell from the trailer to BoVD, makes me...

You say beh-beh yeh-gey, I say Bah-bah yah-gah I say bah-bah yah-gah, you beh-beh yeh-gey beh-beh yeh-gey, bah-bah yah-gah bah-bah yah-gah, beh-beh yeh-gey let's call the whole thing off. you say droh, I say drow... ;)

I think it is time for another company to handle the D&D brand. Then again, a number of 3pp are already sort of doing that, such as Paizo and the companies out there producing retroclones. I know WotC is trying to make amends with re-releasing AD&D and 3.5e, and having open playtests for 5e...

I haven't been this excited about a new RPG product since about 2005 when I picked up the second edition of Warhammer Fantasy Role Play. I want to play this game now. I bought DCC RPG on Wednesday, and I've already read through large chunks of it in no particular order. I've been randomly...

I'm kinda ambivalent when it comes to WotC... I mean Games Workshop. They produce cool products which have increased standards throughout the miniature war game hobby since the 1980s (until their Finecast crap, however). But at the same time they're a total bastard company whose products are...

The Forge of Fury is a classic. You can easily replace the "searching for lost dwarven treasure" plot hook with "oh no, a dragon is marauding the countryside." In fact, I think Forge of Fury is the best module by WotC from that time.

"THAC0 kept the riff-raff out!" :lol:

I need to spread XP around before I give windjammer more. I would love to go back to the days when character building was not as complex as it is now. Back then players looked up from their character sheets more and didn't have to flip through rulesbooks as often. More options don't...

While I certainly see the appeal of making D&D seem like an object of devil-worship (increased sales!), I do see some downsides. In fact, I've experienced some of those downsides growing up, and this was long after the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s. When my best friend's parents found out that...

No. D&D should not have a default setting--perhaps a vague region (kind of like Nentir Vale for 4e) for DMs who are too busy to create their own. But definitely Forgotten Realms should not be used. Kill that world for crying out loud.

Just make the game simpler for everybody and get rid of multiclassing. 1. Keeping track of the math and the stats is a pain. 2. Multiclassed characters sacrifce so much that they simply aren't as equal to their single-classed peers (especially at high levels). 3. And as the horse said to the...

Gosh, I remember seeing that when I was searching for news about 3e. At the time I thought: "Yeah, right... like WotC would share anything with some random guy on the Internet." Little did I know that I'd be joining a couple years later...

I have books and materials for OD&D, BECMI, AD&D, AD&D 2e, 3e, 3.5e, and Pathfinder. I had some stuff for 4e, but sold it once I realised the game wasn't for me (or wasn't intended for me). At this point, its time to get off the treadmill. I certainly haven't lost any weight walking on the...
