Ok, now that I'm home and can look at my Witch Hunter book... Could you please explain to me the reasoning that combat is weighted towards people going with Two Weapon fighting? I'm not being snarky here, I'm honestly confused. Page 107 has this to say about Two-Weapon attack: Doesn't sound...

There was belief that the hobby (or even the industry) was anything other than a blip? I've known that for the past 2 decades. I thought this bit in MSNBC would have kinda confirmed that too...

Generally they name their files using the Publisher Stock number. So in the case of Buy The Numbers I think it'd be: STC101. I use an entirely different scheme for keeping track of my pdfs, but that does sound right.

I personally think you're jumping the gun here. Have you read the thread I made? It talks about some if this stuff. It also addresses some of your concerns. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=232745 Parrying can be really nice, yes. It also means you lose your next action. That's not...

Ok, first off... that quoted bit is just _wrong_. The last thing this hobby needs is yet another person trying to propagate this. It's also pretty offensive. _PEOPLE_ are different. How someone approaches rpgs is _not_ a gender issue. My wife for example is just as happy to hack and slash as...

I ummmm... I hate to sound like some sort of negative jerk, but there has been some pretty good stuff done on monster math already... Grim Tales Creature Creation: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=18836&it=1 This is basically a slightly cleaned up "v5" of work done by...

I GM and play. My experience has been that D&D GMs tend to demand that players have their own PHBs. They tend to be a bit annoyed with folks having their own MMs, but that's a whole other kettle of fish. :D As a GM, I've never expected people to have their own books. And to be honest, all the...

A number of people have thought about it. There's a few problems though... 1. Not everyone agrees on what 4E does that's "cool" and what "sucks". This combines with the fact that not everyone has the same problems with 3.x. 2. You mention working off the OGL. Getting at the stuff you see in 4E...

Thanks for telling everyone how to play. I didn't realize I was running my games so badly until you explained it for me.

I was thinking about this, and was wondering, "What's a good alternative?" Now, just so it's clear, here's where I'm coming from... 1. I think it sucks when a character is basically removed from the game because of a crappy roll. It might be temporary because of failing a Fear check, it might...

Luckily I lead an apparently easy life with lots of time, so saying "Fighter-Mage" is just fine with me. "Gish"... I know a videogame by that name, but I know I'll never use it as a "term" or a "name" when talking about something in D&D. I honestly never heard of such a thing until I started...

Here's a link to the E6 idea: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=206323&page=14 As for the problem.... *shrug* 1s are considered a failure. If that sucks, change it. Anytime you use a creature or a spell that has consequences like people being charmed or save-or-die or whatever...

I guess I've taken stupid pills, because I don't see the sky as falling regarding the OGL. Section 9 of the license at the WotC site reads: "You may use any authorized version" is the part I look at. I don't see them being able to put out a new version of the OGL that forbids you from using...

Well, maybe Arduin can replace it? It's a pale shadow of the awesome magnitude that is Synnibarr, but still... Of course, if you've actually got SenZar then I think you're set. Rifts is pretty over the top and has all kinds of groovy potential, but it really does bounce around in terms of what...

You must have gotten that "kinder, gentler" Abyss. When I gazed into mine it said, "I'm going to make you my bitch." So I pulled out a Midnight Sunstone Bazooka and blew it away. Damn right I attack the @#$%#$ darkness. Then I drank my Mountain Dew.

Oh, and since Battlelords was a possibility for Space Opera, I'd also like to offer up the following possibility: Waste World. I've got the three books that were done for it, and it seems pretty groovy. There's a review of it here: http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_1024.html I'll...

Well, if you're looking to turn the dial up to 11... Fantasy: I don't know about Senzar. I've never been able to get a copy, although I'd really like to. From what I've heard, the system is actually useable. So between having both a useable system _and_ turning the dial up, Senzar seems like a...

It's funny. I enjoy running it despite it's historical setting. Usually historical settings bore the !@#$% out of me. I really don't care that much about it. I don't have this vision of things being somehow "better" in the past, and the thought of a real historically grounded game is just...

*shrug* Personally, I don't care quite so much. I'm not going to reveal the specific spells that something has, or the exact number of hit points, but otherwise? I don't see the big deal. If I'm running a module, I'll tell 'em the name. If they're close to finishing it off, I'll let 'em know...

This is actually a combination of 2 game sessions. A couple of weeks ago, another person (unexpected) showed up to join the Witch Hunter game. He's been a pretty inconsistent player for the past year plus, only managing to make 3 games in a year of weekly games. Between his arriving to the game...
