    Are high attributes more fun then low attributes?

    I prefer stats that make the character hero-esque, so high. I know if the player is smart, he can metagame and make his character clever and overcome obstacles with low stats, but that is boring and I am not big on meta-gaming, if my pc has a 10 int, I try to play him that way, if he has an 18...

    And the most overpaid actor is...

    Wow... you guys really hate the poor guy. I say he must be doing something right to sell that much product, and you jump on me. Ok, fair enough, I read your posts. Silly me for thinking the market has some influence on success, you have educated me and I now know it's all luck. You aren't a...

    And the most overpaid actor is...

    I see now; you could make billions of dollars by making movies, you are just too cool to lower yourself to that line of work. Sorry... I didn't understand that before. You could probably out play Lebron James in basketball as well, you just don't like getting sweaty, otherwise, you would be...

    And the most overpaid actor is...

    Wow, his movies have made 2.3 BILLION DOLLARS !!??!! That is quite an achievement for anyone. Not a fan, but dang, that is a LOT of money. And for all the haters out there thinking they are smarter than he is, I got two things for you : 1) if you are that brilliant, why aren't you making...

    D20: Pathfinder, 3.5...oh my Ammunition with spells.

    no RAW, that I know of any way, allows you to put spells on bullets that said, it has been thought of and there is at least one web class for doing that : http://www.pathfinderdb.com/character-options/class-options/full-class-options-list/1350-magus-archetype-gun-mage and there is this ...

    Non-combat encounter ideas?

    Strange race of humanoids huh? Well then, have the PCs find and rescue a young member of this species on their way to the mine. When they return the youngster to his/her folks, that introduces a lot of RPing possibilities. Now the race isn't just an obstacle to kill, they actually have...

    How to deal with GM burn-out?

    Hey Olaf I feel your pain. I also burned out on GMing, but I don't think blaming the system as some have done is really the answer. Playing online, I got tired of people showing up late or not at all, with no notice... people whining and complaining when they couldn't import their favorite...

    {Settings Tournament} Round 5 - Finals! Greyhawk vs. Planescape

    It always surprises me when people that started gaming in the 90's or later call Greyhawk a generic world. I guess that is because they weren't around in the late 70's and early 80's when it was THE world of AD&D, which was THE game. Granted, it has been imitated and copied to death over the...

    Pathfinder 1E Sometimes pathfinder confuses me.

    Hi Shidaku I think you are confusing LA and CR. As was pointed out, the CR actually goes up as the monster gains more HD, but this in no way effects players since players don't have CR, they go by levels. The LA has not changed, it is +4. This is the same in Pathfinder as D&D 3.5, so not...

    Pathfinder 1E I get the feeling Paizo isn't worried about Wizards of the Coast.

    Wow... snarky much? Someone likes something different than you so they are either poor or cheap? Grow up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should Next have been something completely new and made from scratch?

    Better is too subjective a term. I think some people would like it more, it would be more of a gamble though, look at how they screwed the pooch on 4e; people get upset when you change the things they love about the game. Right now 4e is their market, do they really want to risk losing those...

    What's the best and worst D&D book you own from any edition?

    Best : 1st ed. AD&D core books. It's hard to explain to people that didn't play in 1977 how wonderfully new and original these works were. I still use ideas from the 1st edition to this day. Worst : 4th ed. PHB. I ended up selling all my 4th ed. books after about 4 months. The system just...

    if you have kids, how old were you when you had them?

    I was 31 when my daughter was born in 1998. My parents were 23 and 21 when I was born. I think it is a generational thing, people used to have kids earlier in life, my generation tended to wait until we were in our 30's and a bit more set.

    Pathfinder 1E Tactician not a power gamer

    Lol, if only 21 questions could accurately encapsulate 36+ years of gaming experience. Surprising how many people get high tactician scores, wonder if that is the bias of the test or if there is a trend in gamers...

    Would Paizo Make a Better Steward for Our Hobby?

    Paizo was smart enough to see that the market for 3.5 wasn't dead when WotC went to 4e, and they made pathfinder to capitalize on that market. They are doing pretty well from what I have seen. WotC on the other hand, took Living Greyhawk and a thriving 3.5 game and threw it all away for 4e...

    Pathfinder 1E Current Pathfinder Players: Are you considering switching over to D&D 5E?

    I am really not interested in WotC... they had my business with 3.5 and Living Greyhawk. They made the stupid mistake of cancelling LG and giving up on 3.5, which Paizo has done wonders with, showing it was NOT dead. If WotC can somehow make a product better than pathfinder, which I doubt, I...

    Do you care what other people think of you?

    No... for the overwhelming majority of people When you are young, you tend to care what strangers think, when you get old like me, you really care a lot less about what people who don't know you think. I think as people age, they get more comfortable with who they are.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Players: What would you be playing/buying if PF didn't exist.

    I wouldn't have bought more 4e stuff for one, I tried it and thought it sucked. Then and only then did I start looking for alternatives to 4e. If PF didn't exist, I would still be playing 3.5. I still play 3.5 some, but prefer PF over all.

    Getting the boys back together

    I prefer OpenRPG which is free and I have been using for 8 years or so. Roll20 I just started using about a month ago and have no complaints so far, seems to be adequate for online gaming. Maptools I tried a couple years ago and could never get it to work quite right. The thing I like most...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    I think damage on a miss doesn't make sense, unless it is a grenade or some kind of splash weapon or effect that sprays an area on a miss.
