    Unusual setting you'd love to see?

    I'd love to see DnD'd Discworld. If you think about it, bulk of the work is already done, and transitions would be relatively easy, ast least to 3.X/PF. Their wizards as well... wizards (their spells are probably the only ones outside of official DnD franchises that work like the ones in DnD)...

    Gasp I think I am a grognard now

    This is something I've noticed every now and then - it seems that the effect of backward compatibility of Pathfinder is not that people use 3.X supplements with PF, but rather that those who stayed with 3.5 - use PF adventures. I wonder if that was Paizo calculation from the start (or just a...

    Black Diamond Games Blog - An Experiment

    Not very surprising in light of thread I've read here, on EnWorld. OP asked in it 3.X players why didn't they transition to Pathfinder, and bulk of responses was "yeah, they changed stuff... but not enough to warrant buying new core". This trade off - if not nullified - made this argument less...

    Pathfinder 1E New to Pathfinder

    You might find this character generator quite useful: 3.75 Pathfinder RPG Character Generator And don't take 3.x habits/tropes for granted! Monks actually manage to (sometimes) hit; with cantrips, magic users never run out of all spells; paladins are more than clerics pushovers... If you think...

    I'm Fishing for Red Herrings.

    This red herring has the added benefit of being an actual lead. Two of them in fact. 1. He doesn't sell any ice to the bartender (if PC's ask). 2. A hint that there might be more to barmaids storage. With so many false leads on ice bloodline in one town, you might want to use, um... red...

    Realistic Female NPC Resources

    Well you've already fell for one, but hopefully not too deep :) You assume there's some major difference. Or that there's none. Think of all NPC's as it's the case with angels - it's not which one they are, but the fact that they're neither. Anything and everything you might connect to given...

    The Dungeon Master: A short story in the New Yorker

    I think we broke it... If someone can access the site - any chance of quoting it in sblock? What caught my attention though, is that the link places this article in category of "fiction".

    Gasp I think I am a grognard now

    Hehe, I know that uncertainty. Personally, I think I'm grog-curious ;-) I might be an entirely other deviance, I'm not sure - it's meaning is heavily influenced by who spouts the word - ranging from "unable to move on" to "playing the proper edition" through various shades of "I prefer this...

    A Druid Vampire

    1. Not in RPG's, they don't. Do you suggest making druids lose they abilities if they are resurrected or even raised? 2. Let's allow this race-class only for players that were reanimated at least once then. Post-ALS players obviously count as unnatural and can play vampire druids. But what...

    XP - How do you do it?

    Regardless of whether I was DM or a player - only players that were present were given experience. On top of that, RP/quests/circumstantial/tactical decisions were always rewarded with more points than killing stuff (but than again I don't think I ever gamed with people who started out with DnD...

    Revenge of the Magi

    Making two (or more) layers of complexity there might be a worthwhile idea. Obviously, necromancers as ones that can control undead at their whim might need additional shielding from people who can't tell the difference between zombie and a daemon. But that doesn't make them one happy family...

    Bookkeeping?

    Scalable to relevant ones. If there's an easy enough way to obtain lost resources, there's really not much use in listing it in detailed fashion. But I enjoy low-resources worlds, games and adventures, so sometimes hi-detail comes into play. I'll mesh a couple of situations into one for...

    General question...

    Minecraft multiplayer It's my favourite part of EnWorld and possibly the reason why I pop in at all. I browse General in search of threads that would generally fit better in P&P. It's a conundrum: not many people look in there, so when someone is in tight spot in his campaign and is looking for...

    Would I enjoy D&D?

    I often encountered players like that. Just as fans of heavy RP have some downtime in combat, you will have some outside of combat, that's all. And regardless of system there's a lot of character concepts with which it'd make sense for someone to be withdrawn: - barbarians string to mind as...

    DM advice: Is this fair?

    IMO they'll all blow all chances before getting to the chest as would most other players. Is that wrong? Hell no! Because in the unlikely scenario that some player chooses to wait with his turn, he will be rewarded for thinking about it. And your average adventurer will be still able to open the...

    AHHH! I'M DM'ING MY FIRST GAME TOMORROW! [/caps]

    Kinda good thing you've popped in here actually. Paizo, being the cool guys they are - offer both their bestiary's preview (two, actually) and a bonus one for free as OGL on their site. http://paizo.com/store/paizoExclusives/v5748btpy88x4...

    A Druid Vampire

    Not exactly exclusive to vampires. Most historians and archaeologists I know cope pretty well. Don't know about psychologists at large, but I hear politicians talk about penitential system at least annually - and yet we don't notice any spikes in their suicides ("yup... they're gonna read what...

    Experiences with letting players control a ship?

    Mxyzplk has had an interesting Story Hour, big parts of which took place on board of ships - with PC's a both lackeys and in charge of vessel: http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/266041-pathfinder-reavers-seas-fate.html He also used some naval combat and described it here...

    D&D 4E Deciding Between PFTPG and D&D4e/E. Also, Four Simple Questions

    Aus Snow covered it very well, so I won't be repeating this points, just a couple of side notes: Pathfinder core is PHB + DMG. The book called game Mastery Guide is what you'd expect from DMG II. It doesn't mean you shouldn't include it in startup set, but rather that it'd just as much fit...
