    THE STRANGE - Monte Cook & Bruce Cordell's new Kickstarter next week

    Looks kinda interesting, but there does not look like there is a way to catch much a price break on just a dead tree Core and Bestiary.

    Burning history to get people to understand Priceless is not price-less.

    Great Horror Audio Book

    John Glover reading Steven King's Jerusalem's Lot. Wayne June's Lovecraft readings. Not sure If the following are great, but worth a shot... Scott Sigler's Podcasts... if you like gore. Harold Roberts reading the novelization of Alien, IF you can find it.

    Fantasy Novels: Do The Rules Of Magic Matter To You?

    Do be consistent. Give it a cost. Use english when possible. Don't make up descriptive words just to make your magic sound different. It probably isn't. Give the audience some basics with "show, don't tell", so the audience can infer the more complex stuff before it is revealed. NEVER put...

    D&D 5E (2014) weapon damage

    Agree. Game ties far too much to the particular weapon rather than tying it to the wielder. If everyone did a die of damage with a weapon they were competent with, lets say 1d6 plus a numeric modifier adjusted by weapon size and special skills with the particular weapon, I think the game would...

    OotS 924

    All that matters is Belkar's Perma-death must occur. If Roy gets taken out again, it is a small price {narratively speaking] to pay.

    THE STRANGE - Monte Cook & Bruce Cordell's new Kickstarter next week

    Does the Num. Corebook even have an errata'ed printing yet? Can't shake how quick this feels, like they are not even waiting for the ink to dry on the Num. material before it is off to the next game.

    Pathfinder 1E Gonna start playing cleric for first time--tips?

    Let them die. The game has an expected level of power characters should be at. Players who chose to build characters not designed to carry their weight in combat should not be surprised when the next session they are reaching for a new character sheet.

    Numenera's Limited License

    Holy ----, I did not know those ------ took that huge of a cut.

    Numenera's Limited License

    Give yourself another point of XP boss man. Exactly and that is for PDFs. Those are at least mostly direct profit after DRMRPG.con takes their cut. An actual book has printing costs and more to eat away at the meager profit one might make if one hits the $2000 sales cap. At least with the GSL...

    Numenera's Limited License

    Wow, looks like a terrible policy to my eyes. I'm having a hard time figuring how to make an actual book for this while staying more profitable than flipping burgers.

    Sleepy Hollow

    I'll watch it after the first season is over or cancelled. Fox's track record prevents me from getting exited over a show they may cancel at the drop of a hat.

    Pathfinder miniatures ... are folks using these much?

    Hit and miss. I'll buy cheap singles if i find them, but so far there has been only one "OMG I NEED THAT MINI!". Thankfully it was cheap on secondary market at the time...

    Favorite D&D Campaign Setting?

    Dark Sun Box Set. Best thing that incarnation of TSR ever put out. Shame they wrecked it right afterward.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wandering Monsters: Not-Dragons

    And there is the problem! True dragons put on a pedestal and are assumed to have vast overreaching power to destroy anything that offends them. It gets so bad in some games that managing to slay one dragon turns the campaign into "Flee from the dragon mafia!"

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Builder's Guide

    A: Why yes, I am sick of already developed material being held off for later books. $upplement treadmills and incomplete rules systems are getting tiresome.

    Pathfinder 1E Are giants too strong?

    In Pathfinder? Yes, their Str scores are far too high since Charm Person and Dominate Person spell can affect them. Yeah, the slim chance of escape didn't jive with the heroic fantasy vibe of the game. For d20 Call of Cthulhu, it felt perfect. Kinda felt like the same design as the TERRIBLE mob...
