    Communism (& Socialism) in RPGs

    Except, the entire adventuring party is motivated by personal advancement and personal gain, a.k.a. greed. I'm also pretty sure that when the party loots the orc's treasury, they don't go give it all to the party to redistribute to the masses. Sounds to me the D&D party is composed of...

    The Lost Room

    I loved the show. Honestly, the best way (IMO) to do this is just do a straight Savage Worlds game, but have each item just break all the rules. By that I mean, each item does what the show says it does and do not even have rules write-ups for them. Everything else would work with just about any...

    D&D 4E I'm really concerned about 4E

    I don't see why not? They have already been selling virtual, randomized packs of Magic: the Gathering cards for years. Oh sure, if you got a complete set of cards from one wave, you could trade in your virtual cards for a factory set, but considering that meant a few hundred cards, (TIMES TWO...

    Ways to cast in armor

    If he's a dwarf, try the Runesmith (Races of Stone). Otherwise, just go with the mithril chain shirt.

    Happy Birthday, Wayne Reynolds!

    Indeed! Happy Birthday to an icon of D&D/Fantasy art! (Which birthday is it, I wonder? Rather, I wonder if I'm getting older than the guys making and illustrating the game these days....)

    Actual age of the 4th edition player base

    1) 35 2) 10-20 3) Played once with my cousin, then bought and self-taught the actual rules on my own (my cousin did more than "take liberties" with the OD&D rules, he basically ignored them and just made up a "campfire ghost story" from behind the Wall of Fear and Ignorance)

    New Article: We're Oldschool, Promise!

    Kinda like WotC pulling the license to print physical paper copies of Dungeon and Dragon in favor of the Digital Initiative? Yeah, teh interwebs is just a flash in the pan alright.

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    "Pouncing" as in the minute someone says something even slightly negative about the new edition, at least 5 other people jump in and say essentially the same thing over and over (my 5 points above). 5 on 1 isn't discussion, it's a dogpile. And it's usually not even discussion, as in "I see the...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    Ah but YOU have pounced, and continue to do so. Once again, you continue to prove my point. But if you insist, check out the first few responses to these threads: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=208849 http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=208895...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    Well, YOU have. You have spent two off-topic posts in an effort to discredit me or invalidate my opinion. Maybe you should go read, oh, I dunno, most any other thread in the 4th ed forum and try to look at them with unbiased eyes. See if you don't find a lot of poo-pooing of anyone's opinions...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    Oh, I dunno, I'd say the very next post in a thread is pretty "immediate" to me. Thanks for proving my point though. The rules forum is where I spend most of my time on these boards, so yeah. And what I see there isn't years of grousing about how rotten the rules for 3rd ed are, but a lot of...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    I don't have to look far. Any dissent in the "4th ed is teh bomb!" ranks is immediately pounced upon and told: A) "If you don't like it, don't buy it" B) "It's just what I always wanted, how can you NOT love it?" C) "Go away troll, your opinion is not wanted here" D) "No one is going to make...

    adamantine question

    All adamantine weapons are automatically masterwork, thus +1 to hit (only). In AD&D 1st ed, +4 weapons were considered to be made of adamantium/adamantine. +3 weapons were meteoric steel, and +5 were alloyed adamantine/meteoric steel/starmetal. That is, IIRC.

    Price (and name) this poison!

    How about "Rotgut"? :) There were rules in Traps and Treachery for making poisons, and also (I think) for distilling two doses into one to bump the DC. There are also spells that pump the DC (Relics and Rituals II had one that added 2-5, and I think PHBII had one that upped it by 1 or 2). I...

    D&D 4E Paizo and 4e - Vive le Revolution!

    Any theoretical 3.75 edition doesn't have to compete with 4th ed forever. Even if every 3.5 player converts to 4th ed, they may not do so immediately upon launch. From what what I sense, lots of folks are "less than enthused" by what they smell from the 4th ed kitchen. If 10-15% of the current...

    OK... that's just vulgar...

    I just showed the original pic to my wife with no more lead-in than "hey, c'mere and look at this" and her response? "It's a vagina. With a sword in it." :eek:

    Anyone pick up the rules compendium, yet?

    I'm pretty sure this isn't due to hit shelves until the 16th. Not that someone, somewhere won't get it before then. If so, by all means, speak up!

    Canada portrayed negatively in games?

    Amen to that, and not just in RPGs. TV, movies, most every media form has the US South nicely shoehorned into an inacruate and unflattering stereotype.
