    Philadelphia geek destinations

    I moved to Philly from living in California, though most of my friends from LA live in the Bay Area now.

    Philadelphia geek destinations

    They have a monthly D&D Meetup, though I have never been. They are not using Nerf (TM) toys (I imagine that you can tell that having seen the swords, axes and shields [shields tend to be boogie boards]), but homemade (my son made a guitar - El Kabong anyone?) weapons that are then vetted as...

    Philadelphia geek destinations

    Yo, bro! What Philly you talkin' about? Allied Hobbies is at 9475 Roosevelt Blvd (cross street Grant). I am playing D&D there on Saturday. Of course if you look at their web site, you will not find any mention of RPGs (*Sigh*). I live in West Philadelphia (A neighborhood of Philly). The closest...

    Traps preview

    comparing compexities I noticed that it was pretty to easy to compute success probabilities for the different complexities. It seems that the different complexities make little mechanical difference (the lower complexities are a bit more forgiving at lower individual success probabilities than...

    [BDP] Blackdirge Publishing Tax Day Sale!

    Looks good. I bought the whole Master at Arms series (only $13!) I will want to give this to one of my players who is trying to put together a reach weapon prestige class.

    Pre-made adventures using splatbooks

    OK, my players want to use the Complete and Races books and PHB II, some might have dipped into Incarnum or swordsage. They will use SpC and MIC. With all this extra material, they are going to be tougher than PCs (or NPCs) playing core only or or core + setting. Are there adventures out there...

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    OK, I really did mean Second Wind, but I typed healing surge. I know that garden variety healing surges will not do you any good in battle.

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    With the current news that NPCs have healling surges does anyone have an idea on which NPCs in this adventure would get healing surges? Should it be all except the kobold minions?

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    That was my situation last night. I did Raiders for my 12 year old, homeschooled son. Two teen agers who played in the same weekly LARP. MY 55 year old friend and an early 30's friend. We had a great time. The ranger could never hit. The wizard loved being able to contribute on every round. I...

    D&D 4E 4E PrRC ~v2.7~ FINAL UPDATE May 29.08

    Very nice piece. I notice when trying to print the even then the odd pages (ot get double-sided) that the pagination was messed up somehow. I notice that there are two pages 5. Under the Combat Modifiers list there is nothing for concealment. IF you cannot make a ranged attack when blind (page...

    Questions about Running the Black Dragon

    Yet more questions I am running this mod on Sunday and have whittled down my questions to one [general rules] for ranged weapons there are two numbers listed eg 10/20. The second number is the max range; what does the first number mean? thanks

    Have you pre-ordered?

    I will buy them when they come out, because I play RPGA. The only book I ever pre-ordered was Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk. I bought that because Erik Mona said that WotC was watching sales to determine how popular Greyhawk. This was in the vain hope that demonstrating interest in...

    What's a toon?

    I just got a email from someone for a D&D game, who " ...can't wait to roll a toon out.". Images of flattening daffy duck (except that he is already flat) come to mind. I think I heard somewhere that characters in WoW are called toons and there is a WoW related type that is subtitled equipping...

    Thesis Done

    You are glutton for education. You could try sending your resume to JPL. I have heard that MLS are quite boring degrees. I have a BS in Physics and have a clerical job in a library that allows me time to make my D&D PCs at work. Right now I am working on data entry of spells for spellforge and...

    Role rigidity

    You are missing my point. In organized RPGA play, typically several people show up to play a four-hour mod at a certain level. You could get a 10th level table of four fighters. The module writers are aware of this and try to write mods that will allow any party to have a chance to succeed. I am...

    Role rigidity

    We also build PCs so that they can take multiple roles. For example, my martial cleric can heal or, until a recent change in the rules, could do a fair job on rogue skill checks

    Role rigidity

    I am starting to worry about roles. Here is a quote from the feats article: Does this imply that if a party does not have all the roles filled it will not be successful? Does this mean that I will not be able to make a PC that fills multiple roles (at least in a pinch). My concern comes from...
