    Sounds like I'm in an interesting situation. Doing some more catch up now. Let's see how far I can get. Edit All caught up with a post. Sounds like I missed a hell of an adventure. Feel right decision was made. It's clear some kind of war was fought between these groups. Or battle if war...

    Ring Side Report- RPG Review of "Injecting the Weird"

    I would like to add I enjoyed the new player options a lot, and my players are interested in them. It's been awhile since I've seen my players get kind of grossed out from potential player options. Hahaha. So I think it works well on the weird level. I'm going to be using it this weekend to...

    Thanks for letting me back in. If I have to go next time I'll be sure to notify you. Catching up now. Edit Whew you played a lot. I'm on page 22. Pretty interesting stuff with the factory spewing up abhumans.

    Sounds like I missed out on a lot of fun. I just got done work (lol 6am) going to sleep. Going to play catch up on the thread tomorrow. Hopefully I get back in. :D Sounds like I'm in for an entertaining read either way.

    Wow this game is still going? That's some super dedication from you there Isida. The players too of course. I got pretty busy there for awhile. Sorry for just vanishing. If a spot opens up again I would be willing to reprise my role as Xaion. Assuming this is alright with everyone, or he is even...

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    I can do all of that in Saga without mechanical rules, and often do. In many of my games there are sessions that go by without sabers being drawn or shots fired. I run several campaigns across a plethora of systems. I find no need for Edge when I do what it does naturally through my own skill...

    Tell me about STAR WARS: EDGE OF EMPIRE

    Do to how I gm I found all of the "new" mechanics irrelevant. I've always been a master of weaving plots for the PC's in any Star Wars game. I don't need dice mechanics to tell me these things, and if the player doesn't want to start with a flaw he shouldn't need one. Naturally over the course...

    D&D 5E (2014) What belongs in a $50 PHB?

    Now that it's confirmed to be three books all I can say is screw that. I got too much on my plate. It also doesn't look all that great for the kind of games I want to run. I feel Burning Wheel or Blade of the Iron Throne will meet my needs much more. Edit If I want DnD I always have 3.5 and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    I forgot to mention one thing. If the books have sizable content or going for a two book scheme like Pathfinder than I have no problem with paying 50 eventually.

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    Then I'm getting shafted incredibly bad, also this store has a no flex policy on price. So looks like I'll continue to be buying online. Unless I find something reasonably priced there. If its 50-60 a book I think I can manage that. I'm still not happy though about it. It's still very pricey by...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    Well we'll have to see. 4th is currently cheaper than Pathfinder, but no one plays it. 3.5 is more pricey than it (cheaper than Pathfinder). Hahaha. It's all up to Wizards now to see if their product is still popular enough here to keep prices competitive.

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    Pathfinder be so mainstream I can find it on a mainstream book site, it's definitely an exception. At my store the core would be 50. It is. I bought one there. Look up the KOTOR campaign guide now for Saga Edition. Not even listed it's extremely expensive on the US site. Found it on ebay sealed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    Amazon is just as bad or worse. I'll find the exact same price or worse. I'm not making this up when I say we get shafted on prices. I usually buy my books from ebay or smaller websites that offer big discounts or low shipping costs. I :):):):)ing hate amazon. It's only redeeming quality is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    Canada really gets :):):):) on with its prices on books. Just absolutely devastated. I don't know if its some sort of trade sanctions or companies just being :):):):):):):)s. Or the store owners jacking up prices because they can. All I know is books like this tend to be expensive. The more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    50 dollars per book. Canadian markup of 5 dollars per book. The store will factor in shipping in the cost of all the books. So this will add another 10 or more to each one. On top of this they need to make a profit and they add anywhere from 10-20 dollars extra. It averages out to be at least 75...

    D&D 5E (2014) Will you pay $50.00 for the "standard" PHB?

    No way. Competitors price is too much better and their product is just as good in its own way. Wizards is going to have to cut that price if it wants me on board. Offer a discount if I purchase all three at once or something. I'm easily looking at 240 dollars for the three books if I buy them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Initial D&D Next Releases Showing Up on Barnes & Noble Website

    Yea that price is way to steep. Numenera was well worth it though. Especially in Canada when the cost goes up even more, and then if I try and support my local LFGS it will jack those prices even more. It's getting way to expensive. For the cost of the core for 5e I can save up a quarter of the...

    Things to do in a tabletop rpg that are not combat related?

    Take over a city with politics, intrigue, poison, assassinations, bribes, and a sword when needed. Or even a Kingdom eventually. I took over a planet as a Rogue Trader without firing more than four shots from my bolt pistol, ludicrous amounts of wealth, public relations, bribes, propaganda...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Think Spare the Dying is a Problem?

    That can be arranged. I'm here to give my players the best game possible. If it means I have to do things they might not like to give them a greater whole experience then so be it. People often don't know what they like until they've tried it. If they consistently dislike it and/or a lot of them...
