For what's worth, for me the Epic-level play should be centered on the PCs leaving their mark on the world: building plane-spanning kingdoms, creating artifacts, studying the ultimate spell, forging their immortality (e.g.: an evil PC questing for lichdom) and so forth. True, this removes the...

Since I've played AD&D mostly in Planescape (yes, I'm a bit rusty...), I have a rather peculiar view on deities, and I ask you to don't mind much my next question, which is... Is Lolth (or Lloth, whichever form you prefer) a FR-specific goddess (so the curse derived from the war with the...

While I appreciate the reasoning behind the "drider as a blessing", and somewhat side with it, I just can't see the outcome of it: if being a drider is a show of having been directly blessed by Lolth, that also should mean that driders have any right to be the most prominent "persons" of the...

For me a module has to reduce the work like Lanefan said just above: it should be self-contained, not requiring me to buy (or just consult) any other book on the setting (rulebooks aside of course!). The scope should be fairly contained, so that I can plug it in a different from where the...

Back to OP (didn't see it mentioned) I'd suggest also Numenera as a system which (at least) doesn't actively encourages combats; on the contrary, the rules mention esplicitly that But I'm just reading through the manual, so I can't yet point to any actual gameplay situation.

You'll probably be lucky if 50 euros yield an english PHB, the way things are going here :p

Indeed it would look like an ironclad...however, stemming from other posts I had this nice picture in mind of an abjurer clad in plate armor...sort of a magical tank; mind, no blasting spells, maybe some little utilities...a competely different wizard-like character. Maybe a sub-class, if I...

In my opinion yes, any game designer should shape the product she's working on...otherwise why bother with designers in the first place? A bunch of clerks could just gather the results of (endless) polls and forum posts and create the most mediocre (in that it appeals to everyone)...

R: What a DM has to do in 5E I'm almost standing up, applauding. Can't agree more.

R: Does 5E have to be available as a PDF for you to consider buying it? Tier-targeted releases, a la BECMI?

R: Does 5E have to be available as a PDF for you to consider buying it? A PDF option is absolutely a must for me currently, both for ease of consultation and storing.

R: Advice wanted going back to a OD&D game for nostalgia Go RAW, with just max starting HP; otherwise, why bother going back? If the players like it, there are 40 years of houseruling to choose from later...

R: DM Dilemma: Munchkins are getting out of hand... and I let it happen. At times in the past I liked to have overpowered PCs around which build nigh-unbelievable campaigns, in fact encouraged it once: it can be fun and, most importantly, helps "stressing" the game, giving you a bigger grasp of...

In some games, absolutely! I am a great lover of multi-faceted PCs, and I greatly appreciate a classless approach (especially in CRPG, but to a lesser extent in TTRPG as well). If we narrow your question to "Are you willing to wave goodbye to classes in D&D?", though, my answer is a deafening...

R: Fantasy Races and Space Aliens Let's try another approach: how is that other planet, compared to Earth? What kind of atmosphere does it have? What about its gravity? Also, since you mentioned your aliens don't have access to high tech: how they came to Earth?

Speaking of the Mi-Go I was actually thinking to their method of space travel (simply flying, like a space faring bird), not their human unfriendliness; also, IIRC, they didn't sport a big technology (faking human voices with 1920 play/record technology and keeping human bodies "intact" using...

R: Fantasy Races and Space Aliens How can they be "from another planet" without tech, in the first place? Assuming they have no magic, and that you keep on humanoid forms; failing my last assumption, you can try looking at some Cthulhu Mythos, like for.example the Mi-Go.

R: {Settings Tournament} Round 5 - Finals! Greyhawk vs. Planescape I am all for Planescape, though I must say that I don't know Greyhawk much. Sigil has been my prominent base for playing (A)D&D, and can't help going back to that times with a tinge of homesickness. 3ED has seen me playing...
