    Reaper Bones II kickstarter --It's Over! $3mil reveal inside

    Over and done. Over 3 mil, but lower than last time by about 300k and 2000 backers. Impressive, though, as each backer backed a lot more this time. Check out the pie to the face video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M9Qv9bm-MM

    What are you doing with your Dwarven Forge tiles?

    Hit send too soon. So now I have available for mapping use..... 2 sets of DF with some add-ons 1-2 of every set of the Dungeon Tiles. 4 of the boxed games (ravenloft, etc) tiles 100+ battle maps My (and my player's) imagination. I think I am set.

    What are you doing with your Dwarven Forge tiles?

    I got mine about ten days or more ago and have used them in two sessions so far. They would well, but I found I do not have enough tiles for a fight with a gargantuan, blue, white and black on the same table. Man it was crowded and the dwarf's player could hardly even find him mini in the middle.

    Pathfinder miniatures ... are folks using these much?

    I have bought some of them, but all as singles. The first set was way too cartoony for my taste, but the second and third sets were nice. I really liked the last one, the pirate themed set and bought quite a bit form it. I did have two broken pieces though, one the giant wasp (the base snapped)...

    D&D 4E Any cool 4e adventure to start Paragon Tier that's full of Trolls?

    That one is indeed one of the best of the HPE series.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ability Score Requeriments for Multiclassing, yay or nay?

    I like restrictions, actually. They make decisions necessary in the game, and to me character creation has always been a bit of a mini-game in the larger D&D game (and no, I am not a min-maxer) I would like to see increased requirements if one takes more than one multi-class choice (I cannot...

    Why do you back Kickstarters?

    I back kickstarters to get stuff. Cheaper than elsewhere and exclusivity is a plus, but my main goal is to get things I want to have. Yes, I could get them elsewhere, but I see a lot of cool stuff on Kickstarter. As for the wait, I do not mind so much. I know there are other kinds of...

    D&D 5E (2014) So How Many Different Kinds of Elves Can There Be? A Thread on Subraces

    As long as there is not an elven (or any other race) optimized with ability scores and abilities to outshine all other races at each and every particular class, I will be happy. 3.5 was not quite this bad, but it was oh so close. Overall I am a fan of 5E's minimalist approach to ability score...

    Psionics: Magic or Not

    I think having different kinds of magic isa road to a lot of problems, and D&D has enough trouble with the spell system as it is. Easier to call everything different ways of accessing magic.

    Tumble too powerful?

    I have always found the DC15 too low. In my opinion, the DCS in D&D 2.5 are a bit too low, like the designers never really expected characters to hit the higher levels. Still the DC should not be too high as a character should be able to auto succeed on tumbling away or at least have a good...

    Kickstarter Kickstarter Roundup: 3 Projects You Might Have Missed

    I am also looking at the Bones and DF future kickstarters. I know I will not buy bones as masses of unpainted minis are not my thing, but might back DF, it depends on what they will do exactly. However, a lot of people might want to go for both and both are not cheap, needing a hundred bucks or...

    Plundered Shipboard 3.5E PBEM on Yahoogroups

    Maybe you were shanghaied. It could have been you were captured from another vessel. Perhaps someone sold you into slavery. Whatever the reason, you were in the hold of The Black Gull, captained by Razorwings, one of the more dreaded pirates on this coast. You know you were bound for the slave...

    That Penny Arcade Controversy

    Wow, I had totally missed this. Kinda glad I did. I do agree a strong apology and no merchandise would have probably headed a lot of this off. SOme of the tweets are amazingly insensitive.

    Theater of the Mind

    95% with D&D really sounds like an exaggeration to me, especially if you follow the rules closely, which is an assumption I made when I made my post. If hte rules are followed loosely, then it is easier, of course.

    Theater of the Mind

    "willing to be fuzzy on ..." pretty much sums up my greatest reservation about theater of the mind gaming, or its kissing cousin rules-less roleplaying.Both are good ways to roleplay, don't misunderstand me, but I think a game specifically designed for that is a better choice for that style. And...

    What's your favourite version or variation of D&D?

    I think if I had to choose one to cover all my D&D I would go with 3.5. It is the most robust system and the most amenable to house rules. I do like the old time feel and have been doing a lot of 1E and 2E recently, but they would not be my only choice. Right now I play 1E, 2E, 3.5E and 4E...
