    The Dumbing Down of RPGs

    A lot of the time it seems to be both. I simply blame bloat. I had one player say he liked large numbers more because it made him feel more different even though the same actions could all be accomplished with only 1/4 of the games numbers. I tried the explain to him that all it was is a...

    The Dumbing Down of RPGs

    I don't play rpg games for the challenge. I have Monster Hunter for Dark Souls combat that's even harder. Other games focus on skill and I regularly climb to the top. I play an RPG for the story, and a difficult one is optional but appreciated. Nothing will challenge me as much as a player so...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Xaion looks up at the strange water wall. Reminding him of something similar he seen long ago, granted that was when his eyes worked properly. Still he could see much more now. He keeps silent and in pace with the others. He isn't sure what to make of the three odd figures.

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Xaion just looks down at the old woman "Nice place you got here." He hands over a shin "Your correct." He lets her tug at his hand and mark it. "Thanks for the directions." He wanders off, first to the sonic scrubber. With a whir of sound and some flashes of light it cleans him up quick...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Xaion just looks at it, then he nods. "Alright, here's your shins." He counts out and then drops the shins on the counter and takes his books. He will head back to the cheap inn earlier to rent a small area to sleep and read at.

    D&D 5E (2014) Vote for your favourite 5E cover art!

    I feel all the covers suck. The only one I would consider passable is the DMG.

    D&D 5E (2014) The cost of D&D 5E (it ain't so bad!)

    150 for one nights entertainment? Sounds like you could give me some cash easily no doubt. Not everyone has the same amount of wealth. I sure wish 5th would have a good SRD, guess not.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

    Pretty much, no idea where he got this.

    The Center of Time

    Xaion "15 for these? Your clearly suffering an overstock of books, and these look like they've been here forever. I'm likely the only person you'll see for years wanting such specific books. I'll give you 10 shins for the both of them." He glares at the proprietor and his outrageous prices...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Xaion approaches the shopkeeper. "I would like to purchase these books, how much for the two of them?" He places them down on whatever surface the shopkeeper uses. He takes a look at what kind of person the shopkeeper appears to be, perhaps they could be amicable to some haggling.

    So... Continuity changes? Do we need a forum group hug or support group?

    Me and star wars are through. I'm not even going to see the new movies. I dislike JJ Abrams and his :):):):):):) movies that much. As for the new continuity? The first thing they add to it is some stupid energy sling in the rebels cgi cartoon trailer. They make a big promise about the new lore...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion As he flips, scans, dunks, throws, and all sorts of other methods of reading the books he finds a few he might be interested in. He looks at the books referencing nuisances or dangers in the area. He also looks in much greater detail at the last book he picked up. He is curious to see...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Tempted as he was by common grounds, now wasn't quite the time for rest. He makes his way into the book store and is fascinated by all of the strange methods one could read. However there is something he is looking for in particular. Some might find it odd such a powerful looking warrior...

    When to allow players to change out characters

    For the most part I would let them change at any opportune time that doesn't interfere with a plot point or a fight. So at the nearest convenient opportunity. If I can't see one in sight I'll do my best to try open up a point. While this has never happened there could be a situation where a...

    Thoughts of a new Star Wars System

    As soon as JJ Abrams was attached I knew this was screwed. Well I can fondly remember the original movies and even the prequels for at least having consistency.

    Thoughts of a new Star Wars System

    Me and star wars are kind of done for the moment. All I'll respect is the movies George made and KOTOR 1 and 2. Nothing else is or ever will be canon to me. What does it matter anyways, the universe is only going to get reboot again as soon as its convenient for Disney. All that EU gone to...

    Edition warring is for chumps, but isn't D&D specific

    The Star Wars editions have a polite if long going feud as to the superior one. It is fairly tame compared to a lot of wars though.

    The Center of Time

    Xaion Xaion spends his time on the trip quietly patrolling, he doesn't speak much. The occasional joke or quip breaks his silence. To keep his mind alert he will stop to fiddle with the strange rod with a smaller rod inside it and see if it does anything. He is assuming it is a simple oddity...

    The Center of Time

    Xaion IC: On the way out he searches for anything of value. OOC: I will spend an effort to lower the value as well. 1d20=11 I made it with effort. IC: When he finally reaches the surface "I believe we did the right thing. Those things were simple automatons, no free spirit existed within...
