    How Do you Game? First Person or Third Person?

    I use first person almost exclusively when I'm a player When DM'ing, I use every single narrative trick I can think of to describe a scene or when running a conversation or encounter

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    Zaran, lets not forget that hitpoints include morale and determination, in addition to actual health and stamina. (This was in the RAW since AD&D 1E). Until a character is bloodied, any hits they might have received are actually near misses and exhaustion. So a Warlord inspiring people to keep...

    [4e] Would Star Pact Warlocks be Opposed to Psionics?

    I think Warlocks are more interesting when they got into their pact without fully understanding what they were doing... In one of my campaigns a little dwarf girl used to spend too much time in the forests outside the family farm... the "little friends" she played with left a mark on her that...

    Laptops - What programs or resources do you use to help you run or play your games?

    I am almost ashamed of saying this, but I used this website during our last session and everybody loved it: Instants! Collection

    With TORG having a possible buyer I'm jonesing for some Cross Genre Gaming

    I vaguely remember TORG... I bought it, found the rules a bit too strange (can't remember why) and resold it to someone else shortly after. I remember loving the multi-genre thing (pulp / cyberpunk / fantasy / etc) edit: nevermind

    New adventure path from ENP

    Yes to a really cool Vampire Big Bad (preferably as the antagonist for Heroic tier) Yes to good-intentioned antagonists who want to prevent the PCs from being too powerful and disturb the balance of the universe (preferably on the Epic Tier)

    When will D&D 5e be published?

    Well, I would say that capturing the 12-year-olds and the lapsed players would be the best possible goal WotC/Hasbro could set. And (IMHO) the best way to do that is generating impulse buying by placing boxed sets of D&D in toystores and department stores, not hobby shops or comic book stores.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    As I understand it, the answer to that is Yes, for the updated rules (stealth, skill challenges, conditions, etc.) But No, for some design errors in PHB1 that they later corrected in PHB2 (like classes depending on two abilities for attacks, or the alleged disparity between PC attack bonus and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    Well, if handled correctly, a "4.5" edition would have little-to-no effect on people like you, since all the changes would appear transparently on D&Di

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    If anyone in WotC is reading this, my suggestion for 5E would be a fully errata-ed 4E, just like that PHB1 classes could do with some of the mechanical improvements of those in PHB2 (havent read PHB3 yet) MM1 monsters could also do with some of the improvements in MM2, and the leaked updated...

    New adventure path from ENP

    Yes, Yes and Ten Thousand Times Yes! To all of the above, specially: * Rival Adventuring Party (Who are not exactly antagonists, maybe they are in it just for the money, and the party might even be forced to work with them to ensure mutual survival at some point!) * Moral Grey Areas and...

    New adventure path from ENP

    I would enjoy a "Wild West Frontier Steampunk Fantasy" adventure, although I'm not so sure about an entire 30 level series I'd also enjoy a WotBS sequel where a new adventuring party have to deal with some unforeseen consequences of the original adventures... Set 10-20 years after the original...

    New adventure path from ENP

    I agree that Skill Challenges should remain a part of EWP 4E adventures and I agree that they must have tangible rewards or penalties for their outcomes. I disagree that Skill Challenges must be "life-or-death" however Just like a combat that ends in TPK, a Skill Challenge that ends with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you consider 5th edition?

    I started playing with AD&D 2nd edition - I loved it I was not thrilled when 3rd edition came out, but then I tried it - I loved it, I felt it was better than 2nd edition. I was not thrilled when 4th edition came out, but then I tried it - I loved it, I felt it was better than 3rd edition. -...

    First appearance of studded leather armor

    I also think studded leather predates AD&D, but not by much

    Suggestions for Reasons To Send Harry Potter on an Adventure

    TV Tropes to the rescue! I have been thinking of running a similar game to yours, set in an Olde Schoole of Magicke, a Larger-than-life School, probably a boarding school, so that adventure happens 24 hours a day. This way, I could introduce all those characters common to school stories, like...
