If she doesn't have stats, then screw that, I'm not playing it. I want to kill the hell out of her. ...Just kidding.

I've bought the core, Martial Power and Adventurer's Vault. I'm currently trying to figure out if I want the Manual of the Planes, or if I'd rather wait for the new undead themed sourcebook. I may buy neither. When 4th edition first came out I swore I'd buy the core and nothing else, since I...

That is a shame. I had hopes. But alas.

I hear this all the time.

I voted that I don't really like people to play characters of the opposite gender in my games, but that's mainly just because of bad experiences. If someone really wanted to play a character of a gender different from their own, and for a reason that wasn't just "I want to play an elven slut...

I was reading through my copy of Martial Power the other day, and I was noticing that almost all of the fighter paragon paths have detailed introductions that cement them firmly in 4th edition's default setting. I haven't gotten to the paragon paths past the fighter chapter, but all of the ones...

WOOooo

The times I remember most fondly was probably the summer after we graduated from High School, 2006 (not really that long ago!). I ran a campaign with my high school chums that, while awful, really sticks out in my memory as something somewhat meaningful. We were all excited for college, and were...

One of my favorite things as a DM is world building. I like to keep notebooks full of random histories, people and societies even though a lot of it my players will never encounter, or may just hear of in passing and forget. I like to think up histories and cultures, I suppose. One problem I run...

I voted DM screen and AV. Not much else really interests me that much, and even those that do certainly don't strike me as a "must have." But maybe I'm thinking more of necessary than "so good you're stupid to not get it!" I'd imagine DDI is good, but I need the physical books and artwork to...

Like, for necromancer themed PCs? That's mainly what my heart hopes for. Weren't there undead graft type things in the Libris Mortis? Like, you could attach a zombie arm or a mohrg tongue to your body or something? Or am I just making this up.

I am pretty pumped for this one. What will the alternative powers be? I am always pumped for more undead.

I started playing WoW again a few months ago, and as always happens after a few months of playing it and getting pretty into it, I've found that I can't wrap my mind around why anyone would play. This includes me. I know dudes (college students, I should say) who put in a good 30-40 hours a...

In my current game I'm considering having a possibility of traveling to the past in the near future (what a goofy statement). I'm concerned about the possible outcomes of what they may do, or if it's weird. Has anyone else run any game with time travel? any horror stories of everything getting...

I, like others so far, would suggest Rules Cyclopedia, or, if that doesn't work, 4e. I've never played Castles and Crusades, but from what I've heard, and from what everyone here has said, it may work really well too.

I don't think very many things should be made into RPGs. To me there's a drastic difference between games and all other media. A lot of the problem, in my opinion, is that unless you're playing as the main characters of said book/movie/video game, you're not going to get the right experience...

I just realized, moments after posting it, that my previous post doesn't address what makes a setting good. For that I would have to say consistency, interesting conflict, interesting peoples and societies, interesting characters and interesting locations make up a good setting. That sounds...

I definitely second the "find something that interests you" line of reasoning. I'm personally fascinated by other cultures, human evolution and premodern hominids, so I used that as part of my personal setting. It's not a setting of cavemen, but the idea of neanderthals and homo sapiens...

If it's not in Indiana or Kentucky, then it'll be hard to justify going with my poor college student budget. And we were looking forward to going to this next one. It'd be the first for us. It's supposed to be like our pilgrimage to nerd Mecca.

Having a nigh infinite number of ridiculous elven subraces is awesome! 12 sided dice are awesome! and do not get enough use for their fantastic number of sides.
