Is that due to the "but its so cheap I should get one of those too" factor? I used to be bad about that. Always bought more than I could ...should eat.

Pork, black beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, corn salsa for the burritos. But actually I prefer soft tacos when eating in, but still pork, cheese, sour cream, and corn salsa. We tend to get Burritos only when getting it to go. Don't forget the side of Guacamole and chips - although sometimes...

How much flavor do you like in your rules text? In other words, how should the rules text convey the feel of the setting? Do you prefer: 1. No flavor text mixed with rules text. (SRD style) 2. Rules text preceed by descriptive or flavorful text (ie. Spell Compendium spell descriptions or...

Yep. This is my experiance as well. If it was all one way or the other I could plan for it. But it rarely seems to work the way I will expect it to.

You don't. There are some players who just like the combat aspect of the game. Trying to constanly hook them into roleplay just frustrates both of you. Trust me, I know where of I speak. I saw a friend constantly try and get her husband to roleplay, because that was what she thought the...

Iron Kingdoms has a Gun Mage, sort of a sorcerer with a gun. Personally I wasnt happy with the mechanics of the class but liked the flavor. It wouldnt take much to turn the Sorcerer or the Battle Sorcerer from UA into a better version, focusing on Ray Spells. Scion from WW also features a...

Third me for "Horror is in the DM" but mechanics help, simply because some players will feel no horror other than damage done to their PC a that cannot be handwaved away. Its not d20 but the best Horror system I have seen is from Unknown Armies a game in which encounter the unknown or...

EDIT THE SECOND: Got it all sorted out, nevertheless this thread made it clear that the publisher wasn't getting my e-mail and I wasn't getting his.

What he said. Even though much of 4e hasn't really caught on with me just yet I think this is a great idea and shows some creative application of the new rules. I'll have to check it out.

Yeah, this is my feeling on it too. I do run portions of published modules - encounters moslty- but dont know if I have ever run one completly, or even mostly, as written.

Etherscope is excelent. Its set in an alternate timeline but you could easily ignore the setting and use the mechanics to do exactly what you are talking about - a kind of steampunky Cthulhu-esque campaign - since in manyways thats exactly what this is.

How long has your group been playing together? Since 2001 What are the ages, genders, and professions of the people in your group? The core: 36, Male, College Instructor/Pastor 38, Female, Senior Editor/ "Director of Creative Services" 48, Female, Web Designer When we dont play RPGs, but...

Actually, its the Weapons of Legacy I really don't like. Mainly what I am looking for is a way to price something that may give a bonus to maneuvers, stances, etc.

The Bo9S has a few magic items, notably some legacy weapons, but really only a few other things besides that. I have a warblade PC in my game and she, and the other PCs, have been called to her homeland to help fight an giant invasion. This is the region, in my campaign, where the fighting...

I have always prefered the Sorcerer to the Wizard, I dont really see an issue here.

Generally we have found that eating while gaming is too distracting - one winds up enjoying neither the food nor the game as much as if you had seperated the two activities. Thus we usually play for 4-5 hours then all go to dinner. If we do eat when gaming its simple "snack food" such as...

Thanks guys. Thats kinda what I was thinking, but just wanted to get a second opinion.

At one time I knew the answer to this but cant find it at the moment. When creating a magic item can you deliberately reduce the CL below the minimum need to cast the spell to reduce the cost of the final product? For example: Could a wizard create a scroll that cast fireball but only did 1d6...

Anger of Angels has a Half-Celestial "Template Class" thats somewhat between a Prestige Class and Savage Species style monster class. Characters basically aquire the half-celestial template over time, trading some of the boons of it for a level. No HD and no skill points balance out a lot of...
