A while ago I put in a formal suggestion to make a skills card to complement the general info card. The skills box on the character sheet is already pretty much card-shaped as it is, so it would just need to go onto a card. I also like to have cards for other, non-power abilities. For...

Answering the poll: I (and everyone I game with) use the CB cards (a very small number of folks use the purchased cards, or hand-filled blank cards). Personally I'm in the minority, as I use trading card sheets rather than CCG individual sleeves. Functionally it is similar to sliding the...

I think the point is that there is a wide spectrum available between neglecting survival entirely, and painstakingly accounting for every calorie and minute under the hot sun and ounce of water. The dial doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be) turned all the way to one end or the other. From my...

lol My wife (a veterinarian) came home today with a story about a angry dog that smelled terrible and had a huge tumor on its rump. ie. shaggy, smelly, ill-tempered with a hump. lol

So, we have Rouseketeers. Can we have Mouseketeers? Wait, that rings a bell somehow.

Sadly, it will indeed probably come down to that. Personally, I would have asked what do you put more emphasis in? The specific minor details part, or the general feel of the setting part?

I'm not filled with nerdrage upon reading this (or any other preview material). I reckon that the spirit of the setting is being preserved, and the minor details can be fiddled with all they like. Hey, retcon cosmology, shoehorn in tieflings, make whatever changes are necessary to explain why...

Nothing has changed in 20 years. lol

You'd be surprised. The way that I play has very much switched from adventure-focused to character-focused. I always have fun playing my characters, whether it's the first run through an awesome adventure with good friends, or the fifth run through a terrible adventure with strangers who suck...

I think I'd go with 12 in 3E, if the players formed a pact to not abuse scry-buff-teleport. You've gotten access to the higher tiers of class abilites (if single classed) or partway through a prestige class, without getting to the absolute breaking point (in my experience the line between 12...

Yeah, I'm another one who is liberated from the screen. Like you, I use a laptop all the time. I make sure to have anything "secret" or "private" on the laptop, not on loose notes. In this way, the laptop itself is kind of a mini-screen. If running a printed adventure, you would have to work...

I think folks should be a bit more careful saying things like "can't" and "never". Can a computer (today) be as flexible and engaging as a good DM? Heck, no. Will a computer (ever) be able to do this? Probably, yes.

Once a month? Yeah I'd probably listen then. More often and I would probably skip it. My listening time is used up by audio books.

For many people, we can do this with CDs already. I've done some testing (on myself) in the lab, and the limit of my hearing is well inside what a CD can reproduce. I'm at the bottom end of the human scale, but I'm not an outlier (my wife's range sneaks in just past what CDs can reproduce)...

I think what folks are saying here (at least it's what I'm saying and how I understand the others) is that you can still have this dichotomy under the Unaligned umbrella. If one of them acts in a way consistent with the old description of LN, and the other with CN, then the conflict is still...

I've never been so disappointed (by a book) in my life as I was at the ending to this series. One of the best setups I've ever seen, as far as plot, setting, and characters go, finished off by tossing in every cliche in the genre at the end, seemingly at random. I don't tend to cuss at books...

lol I know it's not what you mean, but this post comes off kind of sounding like a friend of mine a few years back. This friend more-or-less hated modelling, painting, army construction, and the gameplay of Warhammer FB. And yet he still came out to events all the time. We could never figure...

Add another one to the list. Some people around here use the alignment they choose to help set up their character personality/goals/what have you. I just put Unaligned in the box, and then act how I want the character to be. My PCs tend to act Good toward people they like, Unaligned to people...

Completely wide open discussion of tactics during everyone's turns. It's the way that is fun for us.

lol I don't drink non-diet soda, and the shipping to Canada is more than the purchase price of the product, but I couldn't resist.
