    D&D is now in (exceedingly awesome) commercial form

    Well whether it'll be a successful strategy, or not - it's clear that this ad is aimed at old-timers. Whether to just have them buy it as a present to a kid, or whether they count on people buying it out of sentiment and get them to swallow the hook for Essentials... We'll see. It has "come look...

    The Mystery of The katana

    Actually, they got banned mostly because they were a pre-gamebreaker :P Finishing off a knight was a really mean feat. You'd rather beat him silly and capture him, getting his stuff and a hefty ransom afterwards from his family. Bows - well, bows were mean. Very hard to impossible (as armour...

    Help me make "CoDzilla"? :)

    There's plenty of people who can give you great advice on build, so let me just explain the premise of druids power The thing here is, that you're still a druid of Xth (20th in this case) level, but instead of being in form of a dwarf, whose CR is at 1/2, you're shifting into, let's say dire...

    Skill point questions for a half-dragon/centaur

    Help me out: so is it like horsey dragon, or maybe it has torso like a dragonborn? Or maybe he's totally lucky and gets human torso with dragon legs? Was there some particular inspiration? :)

    Neat GM advice on Female Gamers:

    They do a what now? I can't say I've read any studies on that, but from casual POV, pretty much all RP stuff at sex shops is for men. I mean, unless it's the other way around, and people have fantasies to have sex as a maid or police officer, not with them. Have I been missing out on something...

    What's ahead for D&D? What approach will WotC take?

    We need to remember that they're Hasbro's subsidiary, and Wizards themselves have ventures other than the DnD. When an entity owns several businesses, they need to weight cost of opportunity between more than one product line. So with set budget for R&D, new option's they have - need to beat all...

    Neat GM advice on Female Gamers:

    Nah, I'm not surprised. This article is less then two decades old, and changes to the way people think and perceive - take a lot of time. But we're getting there. If you look at books on psychology and sociology from 60's, it can get a bit depressing though. Nowadays, authors focus on given...

    What's ahead for D&D? What approach will WotC take?

    Sadly, it can be summarized as mixture of gossips from one of the "Where's my update dude?" threads and wishful thinking.

    What's ahead for D&D? What approach will WotC take?

    IMHO we will be far better equipped to answer those questions after the next DDI update. There's been hints here and there that there's more to it's delay than problems with incorporating Essentials line. Hopefully we're up for a pleasant surprise. If it was only the Essentials? It will be a...

    Dark Sun - Wasteland

    This one looks like a Athas morning (evening?) - the cool tones are really noticeable. The newest sun definitely looks the best - objectively. I still love the dark Dark Sun for purpose of this setting (world started to make sense!), but aside from that - the last one is the best (the flares...

    Where's my D&D Essentials?

    Damn, I'm so grateful for this link :) Polish book market is a joke, especially when it comes to books in English (actually same prices for translated, much more for those in original - despite the income discrepancy). Delivery cost was the only reason why I still buy books locally. PS.: I just...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder RPG 1st level character help (Rules)

    Can't blame you - first sentences of that are ambiguous at best, and the clarification is hidden within sentence on entirely other matter: p. 31, paragraph Favored Class, 3rd sentence: The choice of favored class cannot be changed once the character is created, and the choice of gaining hit...

    Tinker base class (WoW core rulebook)

    It's a very good idea, and it's fairly popular too. You only change the fluff: - bombs might stay as bombs. - mutagens become mechanical enhancements (like an exoskeleton), like mechanical gloves, a thinking-helmet, and such. Highly unstable design(goblin-like, actually), that lasts only for a...

    STILL No Character Builder Update?

    Do not renew it after initial purchase then. Keep track of when the next update comes out and buy the shortest sub possible shortly after it does - remember, that you get the CB with all the stuff that was released, ever. Heck, buy it today - you'll get everything that was already released and...

    Oots 0749

    The player might've missed the session ;) At least it would be elegant to do this in controlled environment. Back in the day (very first RPG campaign I played in), whenever a player missed the session, our DM would just make his PC go into coma. We were a bunch of merry narcoleptics. We would...

    A Druid Vampire

    Um... No, they don't? I know it's bad form, and I should provide quotation, but I feel that I'd have to re-quote about half of posts here (possibly more, I think majority was at "Ney!"). Some, me included, pressed the idea that this combination wouldn't be against the rules. This idea, met a...

    Dark-Colored Battlemats?

    Not if he uses chalk markers. Hell, they even make fluorescent ones! DRY ERASE BOARDS Factory Direct from THE MARKERBOARD PEOPLE But other colours are easily noticeable as well This Neon Marker, also known as a wet erase bright stick, is best used for illuminated menu boards! - Displays2go...

    Beyond Combat; It's a Trap!

    I had hoped that someone will beat me to it, as I'm quite bad at explaining things in detail. That's why I used so many, maybe a bit uncommon phrases - each (well, maybe not "cockup") saved me at least one full paragraph. I'll do my best to explain those terms and therefore previous post, but...

    Beyond Combat; It's a Trap!

    Um, call me crazy and presumptuous, but to me it looks like DM's cock-up. If we're too devoted to Chekhov gun philosophy, then whenever anything is mentioned, players expect it to be relevant. Did the DM describe every twig the characters saw, ever? If not, why did he choose to describe this...

    DM's: How much do you help out your players in offgame?

    I'm with IronWolf on this. It's very possible, that he's not asking for any advice not despite the fact that he doesn't know - but because he doesn't, and feels that he should already. Long time aside, he's at newbie level - so treat him like a newbie. If there's a question with game mechanics...
