Interesting. I don't have anything new to contribute beyond what was said above - just wanted to thank everyone for an interesting discussion. It certainly seems like a legal quagmire. :)

Works perfectly, thanks!

The language in that quote is troubling, but at this point it seems to me that the boat of Open Gaming has long ago sailed anyways. A reversal of the trend, going back to open standards, would very much surprise me. I'm pessimistic. It seems to me fan content would be limited to Gleemax...

Thanks all. You've given me a lot to think about. :) The module is designed for 6 characters, so that isn't an issue. Seeking to correct for their power actually came from the players, requesting more challenge, so it's clearly a problem for them and I won't just cruise through. I don't have...

The Medieval Europe: A Magical Medieval Society book for Expeditious Retreat Games has a chapter on building up a city from the political factions standpoint. I think it's even available as a free download. I haven't read them, but Atlas Games has Seven Cities, and Green Ronin has Thieves...

What?! You prefer to stay employed over answering my questions? How insensitive of you. ;) I'll have to wait patiently till June, apparently. :) Thanks for coming over.

1) We are playing through the Shackled City Adventure Path, currently on the plane of Occipatus undergoing the Test of the Smoking Eye. 2) While the characters are a bit optimized to battle demons, which are common on this plane, the problem is with their general power level. It is a large...

My current party is too strong, and I'm considering what rules to change to make the game challenging again. I'm running a pre-written adventure and would like to stick to it, so I don't want to change the opponents to match their strength - I want to lower their power with as little changes and...

Hi there, I don't have the Search function either. I made a post in the OTHER thread about this, the one in General, but it seems to have evaporated. At any rate, I purchased the CS account a LONG time ago, but it was never activated. Paypal Transaction ID: 9N184303W8034883K Username: Yair...

Voted "I am unsure about 4E but are NOT goin PF RPG", meaning that I'm going to actually try 4e and then decide what to do next. Crazy, I know. :p

Interesting. In retrospect, I don't think Paizo really had a choice here - not without changing their whole Adventure Path churning machine. I'm pleased with their decision to run an open Beta, but am frankly wanting more deviation from 3e than their ruleset will likely support. I wish them...

I've got a few questions for WotC, though I doubt if they'll get answered: 1) Will the GSL include terms that will allow WotC to effectively change its content in an unrestricted manner, as the d20 STL did? 2) Will the GSL have termination clauses that will allow WotC to forbid the production...

You know that reads a lot like Just saying...

My favortie game has to be Ars Magica. It's a game more strongly focused on the medieval, with emphasis on medieval/ancient myth but with a dose of history and rampant fantasy inventions. Lots of politics, much less (and much deadlier) combat. Wizards kick everyone's ass (and everyone plays...

I just want to say this picture is SO MUCH WORSE than the old draconomicon's picture...

SLA Insutries is available through RPGNow (the older edition, not the new 1.1 one), and also Ars Magica Fourth Edition is likewise available through e23 (not the newer 5th edition). (John Kim lists ArM4 but his link his broken; I don't believe he lists SLA Ind.)

Indeed. :confused:

I'm immensly suddened by this loss. I never met him, but he's giving me so much - not just by starting the hobby, but also by his writing and inventions. Words fail me. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Yair

Actually, it's an appreciation of the change in character this act implies :uhoh: I couldn't care less about nostalgia. I do care about stuff like skeleteons being just as vulnerable to arrows as to a hail of stones, about having to remember lots of "marks", and "conditions", and so on, and...

I'm going to play 4e for a trial period, and then decide. My initial expectation was to follow tha with a 3.75 game, but following the presentation I am more tempted to play a 4e game. At any rate I won't make the decision until after I've personally felt what it's like to play 4e.
