    Rules Nazi what?

    Any how is that not outright cheating?

    Warforged and cursed items

    Where is this stuff about buying new hands coming from? Battle-fist goes on over the Forgery's hand last I remember so any missing digit on the hand should leave the corresponding battle-fist digit non functional.

    I got Yog-Sothoth.

    Here Comes . . . the Monk!

    Great to hear about the rule-set still cares about the cosmic balance between Order and Chaos.

    Here Comes . . . the Monk!

    That's the the rub, if all characters had equal pressure to spread thier stats, it would be acceptable. It is a problem when it is only a significant issue for a few classes. TBH, I loved the balance that existed in 4E PHB1's feats, where stat dumping cost you huge swaths of feat options. Sadly...

    Here Comes . . . the Monk!

    Because if there is one thing game designers love doing, it is making monks MAD as hell!

    When the party gets too big

    End the campaign, start a new campaign at manageable character levels. Be honest but firm. The system is too much of a burden to run past X level for a huge group.

    Transparent Battle Mats?

    A sheet of pegboard has holes 1 inch apart. Just Lay that on top of the vinyl and put dots of permanent marker to make the grid. This way the grid doesn't interfere with the lines you draw. I've seen some homemade grids where you have to fight the grid's thickness to draw a line or risk...

    [Trailer] World War Z

    Uhg, fast zombies. That wrecks a few things from the book to say the least.

    D&D 5E (2014) Cleric spells that don't suck

    Then your group has a problem with teamwork.

    The Walking Dead 3.4 "The Killer Within" (Spoilers)

    I was laughing at how ham fisted it felt. She unfortunately is too much of a comic book character for the TV series. Katana wielding badass isn't a character that makes for an easy fit in a character driven drama.

    Spelljammer - Rebuilding the Tradesman, WorkInProgress

    True, they are tolerable when the people are dots on the landscape. I feel it was truly a shame you didn't have a character / creature free copy of Pyramid {Blue version]. That human shaped water balloon ruins the picture, especially with his action figure pose and the critter isn't that...

    The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim: Dragonborn expansion.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsROQUWaHnQ I hear the visuals have echos of Morrowind. I'm interested since a bit more information on the whole dragonborn thing would be nice. That and I'm happy to see some more creature designs since games are so often stingy with new creature models.

    Running Call of Cthulhu For The First Time

    If the game hasn't changed too much from CoC 5th edition, I'd recommend borrowing the automatic fire rules from the Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader & Deathwatch games. You still get the normal bonus to hit when firing fully automatic, but on a hit, one bullet hits home. For each 10% the shooter...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogues and Sneak Attack

    While I agree with you, don't forget the game has been through over a decade of rogues being Leather Clad Cuisinarts. For some folks, that is what a Rogue is, because that is their frame of reference.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion! More Star Wars movies coming!

    GREAT! :lol: Anything that gets the property out of the hands of Mr. "I did it, needs to be the way I want it." is A+ in my book!

    Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion! More Star Wars movies coming!

    The Marvel movies will make a fine litmus test for this concern. As to the Original Trilogy characters, sorry, but even the authors of the Expanded Universe realized those are the bread and butter of the fanbase.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion! More Star Wars movies coming!

    Oh thank the unspeakable gods of the Outer Hells! There was no chance Mr. Taking his ball & Going home would have EVER let the Expanded Universe make it to the big screen! Only way I could be happier about this is if Disney announced they were getting H.R. Giger for costume design on the...
