    Pathfinder 1E Recommend a Magic Item

    I'm playing a 6th level Rogue and my GM has just given me what may be the laziest treasure reward ever... I can pick one Magic Item of my choice of less than 5000 gp in cost... and that's my reward. So.... Any good suggestions? I'm willing to pick something solely on the basis of how much...

    How many halflings does it take to screw in a lightbulb

    I have to say that I think it is vitally important to remember that if you are one of the Big Folk fighting halflings, there are a number of things that are going to be going on at GROIN level that don't usually. And if, as is usual with most systems, the halfling is getting some DEX bonuses...

    I had no idea this thread even existed let alone that someone said nice things about me. Thanks!

    Time, Gravity

    And that's why my two cents are non-refundable.

    Time, Gravity

    Sorry, one more thing. The 'time is faster out in space' bit depends on where the observer is observing from.

    Time, Gravity

    Without diving into the actual physics of the thing, I think the biggest obstacle to your idea is that, while a Space Elevator would be going faster at it's top than at it's bottom (Much like a record has to go faster at the outer edge than in the center) the over all gain in speed, while...

    Hey, so you know this "space marine" thing?

    If we can go around retroactively filing trademarks for words and concepts that already exist and have done so for more than 30 years I'd like to call dibs on Computer, Automobile and Cellular Phone as well as any and all derivatives of those same terms. I'll start by asserting it in all...

    Facebook shenanigans

    Yup. Seems to be corrected. Stupid Facebook.

    Facebook shenanigans

    Is this happening to anyone else? When I bring up EN World, (doesn't matter what page) the page will load, but then I am immediately pushed to Facebook where I receive a message stating: An Error has occurred. Please try again later. Damned right an error occurred, I didn't want to go to...

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    Yup. Most don't go over 20 minutes or so. But boy, when they do...

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    Fluxx isn't a bad choice, but can be frustrating if a game runs long while everyone waits for victory conditions to be met because the cards needed have already been discarded or are buried somewhere at the bottom of the deck. I've seen more than one game run into the hour or more time frame...

    As I said, one of MANY problems. :)

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne are all good games. Being Gateway games - that is, games people use to introduce others to the realm of Eurogames - they can be excellent starting places for folks who play 'traditional' board games like Monopoly and The Game of Life, but are...

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    There are a number of good choices depending on where you think her interests might lie. Lost Cities is an excellent two-player card game with a simple rules set. It plays in about 20 minutes or so, has nice art work and generally seems to come first in the "I play but my wife doesn't how can...

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    And, in a way, that is totally predictable. If you look at the current pieces - and no one was going to vote off the dog - the cat is pretty much the only one that has a direct counterpart already in the set. You can sort of make an argument that the helicopter and battleship have some sort of...

    That seems to have done the trick.

    I haven't fiddled the colors around at all. I'll see what can be done, though. Thanks for letting me know.

    Do Not Pass Go: Board Gaming News You Can't Afford to Miss

    Do Not Pass Go I suppose some sort of introduction is in order. I mean, I could launch into a rant about Monopoly right off the bat, but you are going to want some context first. Who is this guy, why is he here and what in God's name does he think he's doing trashing my beloved Monopoly...

    Miniatures for a Star Trek game?

    Yeah. Apparently Mini-mates has done 3 or 4 sets of Star Trek figures. Sadly though, it looks like Noble Knight is going to be your best bet. Depending on how you paint them, you could use some elements out of Reaper's Chronoscope line. Especially for 'Alternate Earth' adventures...
