    Best old style AD&D dungeon crawlers ever

    Hi everybody, after reading with much interest the discussion about the famed Tomb of Horrors here, http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/306885-wir-s1-tomb-horrors-spoilers-spoilers-everywhere.html I understood that this could not be my players' cup of tea. I' d like to...

    You don't play 4E, but what did they get RIGHT?

    The one thing I liked much in 4E is the abundance of character classes available, most of them with individual quirks and game mechanics, more or less balanced. While it's true that 4E is not the only game nor the only edition having so many classes, it is the one that does it better, imho...

    What is it about a game that influences average party size?

    In my experience, this is the most important factor to determine the number of players a game system performs better with. That, and the complexity/tactical depth of combat in games where combat is core. We are gaming WFRPG 2ed with 7 players and it runs wonderfully system wise, the same was...

    What do people play more of nowadays?

    Warhammer 2ed! A most elegant system, charming fluff, quick rounds of combat. And a simple but flexible enough system so that you can add a bit of "powers" if you like more "heroic" in that "fantasy". Not that you should, but you can. Oh, and I started playing this gem thanks to some other...

    Why isn't WotC acknowledging Grind issue?

    For what matters, I totally agree with the OP. I too run a 7 players group and, after a long and satisfying D&D4 one year and half campaign we chose to change to WFRPG 2 for a couple reasons, main one being that 4e is far too grindy for 7 players, the powers are too many, the time needed to run...

    Hybrid D&D: Combining editions (especially 3E and 4E)

    I agree, me being one of those :) Your "mods" seem interesting, any chance of seing or getting these anytime?

    How many cycles of 4E core books will you buy?

    I voted 2 cycles. I am actually more intrigued in cycle number, say, 5 or 6 than 3 , hoping that such numbers will explore new roads and alternate rules for those of us who like the 4E innovation but are bored by it's slow (IMHO) combat mechanics and look for different options in the same menu.

    Alternatives to D&D

    Is there any preview about how Dragon Age will play? While I like the DD4E brilliant new mechanics, I do not like other aspects of the game, so my quest for the One Perfect Rpg To Match My Tastes continues, will DA be a valiant candidate?

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

    I am intrigued in WFRPG, but I have one question. The one thing I like most about DD4E is the possibility to play a wide range of classes, each with its own quirk and some mechanical peculiarities, most of which play very differently from a tactical standpoint. I do understand that...

    I like 4e, but I miss... Forked Thread: I like 3E, but I miss...

    Definetely agreed on shorter, quicker combats. I'd really like to see a couple of pages in a PHB or DMG suggesting options that make sense on this with 4e. I miss more magical magic items, but that is easily fixed, more or less. I miss the 2e psionic subsystem I miss playing with lowest...

    MM2 Excerpt: Remorahz

    Does anybody know if some announcements have been done about the deadliness of MM2 monsters? As somebody else here told, and I totally agree, MM1 monsters seem pretty weak as an average, and my players are blasting them notwithstanding the various special moves and stunts I invent for them as...

    What can we expect from DMG2

    I think I died and this is paradise. or perhaps Mount Celestia. Thanks a lot, xps earned. Also to Stalker 0, his SC system seems interesting, sooner or later I'll try it seriously.

    What can we expect from DMG2

    What I would really want to see in the DMG II , or any PHB to follow, is some optional rules for those like me who, while liking the many brilliant ideas of 4E, miss some older editions elements. I think that not only that would be very appreciated by the actual 4e users looking for some...

    DM questions that make you go "Uh oh"

    We have exactely the same situation. We made up a jingle: "every master needs a player like [insert catalist name here]" I'd add to the list :" How many HP do you have?"

    Resurrection of a Deva

    Thank you all, I guess timing is the right answer :) I'll do something more spectacular, but by the rules I think that's the correct answer. Xps both to Dice4hire and Fallen Seraph, the one for the answer, the second for the flavor and for being clearly one with personal experience with...

    Resurrection of a Deva

    Dear all, I'm currently palying a campaign which has as a main theme the discovery of what happened to the gods, who apparently left the world to its misery. One day I'll post something about this to share with those like me who like 4e but are mising some older, more unbalanced, more...

    Assassins in PHB3

    If they put Shadow and Psionic sources in PHB III, I'll be psionically forced to buy it even if the third possible source was Disney. That said, I'd prefer 2 complete sources in separate handbooks, so I'd buy the one I like only. Which is probably why that won't happen.

    The Issue of Hit Point Inflation and Related Materia

    This neologism awards you an XP :) Also, the hit point inflation is annoying. I understand the whys and becauses , and I have to admit that 4e HP grindind seems to get less of a problem the more we understand how to play the charcaters and the more we understand the /2 function on...

    I want PHB 2 now

    PSI power is for anime weirdos, but I can't wait for 5E.

    DDI, 6 months later: changing my mind

    My wishlist is that WOTC hires you, because I second all of your points. These are really the improvements that could make life easier and more intriguing for a lot of DMs out there, just think at the success the NWN Autrora engine had, and this is simpler. Great ideas, fully seconded! Now...
