Whenever I see discussions about the appropriateness of psionics in DnD I can't help but notice that a lot of those who don't like it dislike it because of it's sci-fi sounding names(which is a valid complaint, don't get me wrong. You don't need to strain your suspension of disbelief more than...

I liked that it was archetyped and very DnD. Better yet, AFAICT, this scene could be the result of 2e, 3.xe, or 4e. I'm sure that as the story continues the edition-neutrality wil fade as magic and abilities are explored further, but that's not a bad thing. From this small preview I give two...

So we ARE doing this then, eh? All right. I'll start. It has come to the attention of several parties of not inconsiderable social standing that multiple factions have colluded on various issues both divisive and controversial. Evidence gathered to support or deny such allegations has thus far...

The character I'm currently playing has been killed by a dread wraith via constitution drain, came back as a dread wraith, got destroyed by the party as the dread wraith, then Restored and Resurrected back to life to continue adventuring with said party. This is the second time in this campaign...

Plants?

Similar to others, as a player it's always 1st person unless I'm playing more than one character. As DM, it's always 3d person.

Anytime I've had a party encounter any Unicorns, there was exactly one. Ever. His name was Eridanis :)

Might I suggest E6?

D20 is doing fine, Ryan. I thought I'd lost my BoVD, but it turns out it was just buried in the couch, so all is well.

I agree. On a scale of 1 to cool, that ranks a super-awesome.

I recently made a character very similar to this ... the guy I made was interested in pain(like count Rugen) and had an extensive torture lab arrayed in his basement. He was going for fleshwarper, but hasn't yet. I noticed that the feats/spells he has ... they don't really matter. It's how the...

Shields provide very little in the way of protection. Now, I'm not some H2H combat guru IRL, but this always just seemed ... wrong to me. Also, to Wormwood: Lol @ your sig. :)

Where is that from RC?

Yeah. The video games themselves are actually DnD-ey. I'm impressed at how civil this thread has managed to remain. As far as calling any TTRPGs video-gamey, IMXP the connotations have been good and bad in about the same proportion. Usually I've used it to describe particular sessions: "This...

I love E6 threads. They always end up with neat ideas being shared.

Yeah. That was neat-o.

I haven't got into 4e, but there is a couple of things about it that I like quite a bit. Skill challenges: I like. A codified set of rules for dealing with non-combat encounters with enough 'wiggle-room' to make it your own. Rituals: I like. Not so much the implementation, but the idea that...

This t'aint dah world I grewed up in no more.

Me. And many I've played with. It gets old REAL fast. Traps that make sense are fine, but those illogical and/or overly complex traps yank everyone out of the game. This happens because when these things are brought out, the characters are no longer exploring a world and fighting the bad guys...
