I'd imagine that after spending X years in the rpg business, where X > the time most of us have spent in it, he's just looking for a change of pace. Plus, he's totally bankable in rpgs. It's not like he can't come back and show us something new whenever he feels like it. I imagine it's kind...

There will be a 4e OGL/SRD, according to the posts we've seen here and at WotC's boards. My $0.02, a good book is a good book. If it's cool, buy it. You'll find a way to use it down the road. I still use some 2e books for inspiration.

McDonalds' - The American Embassy Our tour guide in the UK referred to it as such. I liked it. It's also nice to be able to use it to talk about going there without my daughter jumping up and down saying "Please, please Daddy!" She thankfully hasn't made the connection yet.

And a big Tumble score will let you take 1 and move all around their threatened area with no AOO. Once you're in close, poison, Tanglefoot, caltrop, and Sneak Attack your rotten little heart out. :)

I agree with #2. I think Improved Trip is the problem, not the spiked chain. As a house rule, I removed the free attack from Improved Trip, then made another feat (Kick 'em While They're Down) that added the free attack later. Can't recall the specifics right now, but the second feat had...

I've tinkered with the idea of banning PrCs, and they are an optional part of the game anyway. However, I agree with (and use) the house rule of one PrC per character. More than that and they tend to lose prestiege ;) Also, while some players use PrCs as a way to stack up bonuses, don't...

I agree with fighter levels, but I wouldn't take that route. For someone who already has 14 levels of rogue behind him, I'd say something like Spring Attack would be better. Also, if you want to stay total rogue, a huge Tumble score is important. Your mobility is your real contribution when...

I think the biggest thing tabletop has is direct human interaction. I play a lot of WoW, but it's mostly because I can't play D&D regularly. There's just no substitute for hanging out with your buddies around a table. However, stuff like Teamspeak is helping to bridge that gap. In CRPGs...

We had a 2e game with one "human" female wizard and seven dwarven characters. The weird thing was, we really didn't even plan it that way. The first 4 or 5 of us had our characters in mind and the others said, "heck, we've almost got seven dwarves as it is..." With the obvious paralells, we...

Turns out my first guess was right. Twin Crowns. http://www.mortality.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=8

I can't recall the name, but I seem to remember one very early on. Someone had published a seafaring/trading setting based on a farily extensive LARP setting. I think they forgot to put in the OGL itself. Twin Crowns? Twin Rose? Something like that.

That one just looked like it was true when you saw the counter sheet for the characters.

To quote Master Shake, "Holy crap on a pita!" I wasn't reall anxious about a King Kong movie either, despite being a big Godzilla fan. Now I'm blocking out time to go see it.

They key is to take the skills you'd want to have anyway. I've got a Hunter with good Leatherworking, Skinning, and First Aid. I get leather or cloth from at least half the stuff I kill, so it's not like I'm going out of my way for materials. It takes a little more effort for my Warlock and...

Pretty much exactly my experience, too. Except I had to wait another two weeks before I could have it as a birthday present.

The guy writing it went to work on video games for a couple of years and then got sick of that. So, CP3 is back in the works for real. Apparently it's at least in playtesting now. http://www.talsorian.com/news.shtml Scroll down to the 5-26-05 entry.

Sometimes the political systems themselves are designed to be difficult to change. If you live somewhere without elections or where it's very difficult to become a candidate or vote, changing what you've got can be tough. It might also be a case of just not having enough like minded people to...

From the article: I have no pity whatsoever for this guy. Maybe his family, but not him. If somebody told him everything worked as it should have and it still nearly killed her, then he knew what he was getting in to.
