Thanks for the responses. Some useful stuff here (very useful) though I'm afraid our fundamental problem remains. billd: The way it goes wrong is something like this: PC goes down in a bad situation. Cleric (usually a fighting type in our groups) leaves his mark to save fallen ally. Tactical...

I'm looking for insights on the table experience of HP -1 to -9. We play RAW and don't have any problems with it. We don't think people die too quickly or too slowly. But our group HAS noticed a "role-playing/roll-playing" problem with the rules. Our group exclusively plays heroic...

I'm making a 6th level half-orc druid and I have 13000 gp to spend, with a rule that no more than 6500 can be spent on any single item. I have a dragonhide breastplate and a +1 scimitar and a +2 wooden shield (approx. 6800 gp total). I bought a +1 cloak of resistance and a +1 natural armor...

Hey all. This is SO not my normal space on ENWorld. My 3-year old son's scribbles are far better than my own work. But I'm here on behalf of a friend. He is a comic book artist who has done the con circuit as an independent artist. Now he is interested in breaking into the game industry...

If I am a wizard and I take a prestige class, does that mean that advancement on my familiar stops? Many consider a familiar a mediocre class ability anyway, but I'm trying to really make it work for me - but I was going to become a master specialist, and if even a full caster progression PrC...

I wanted to have a lemur familiar. I figured: stats as a monkey, +2 to Reflex saves for a bonus? Sound about right? [I can't recall if a lemur was mentioned in any sourcebook.]

I am presently running Burnt Offerings from Rise of the Runelords and I have run into a difficulty. In order to prolong the game’s survivability, I gave the party a number of “death saves.” These simply allowed the character to automatically stabilize at -10 HP and survive. In this way, their...

Thanks for all this. Well put. I'm not worried about being preachy; my group is totally amenable to me being preachy.

Yes, Vigilance, but what I see as distinctive in, say, the Ultimates, which is what I think I want to in the game, is that the idealism of the common man for superheroes is muted or altogether absent. The man on the street finds superheroes not to be saviors, but potential problems...

Hey everyone. I'm spending some time on Cape Cod this summer. Can anyone tell me of any gaming stores that might be in the area? Thanks! C

I decided to post this question here rather than on a comics forum, because I seek the answer in regards to conceptualizing a superhero game. In the "ages" of comics, the Iron Age came about in the 90s with bad attitudes, lots of loners, black leather, and guns. In the new millennium...

I don't own 4E and I don't really plan to. However, I have spent an appreciable amount of time with the books in a local B&N. One of the things I read in advance and which I have seen praised by others since the release of 4E was the rules for skill challenges. These were hailed by the...

OK. This really needs a doc explaining stuff, but I don't have that prepared (and if I wait to post until I do, you'll never see it). I took off any tabs that related specifically and solely to my world. However, some of the feats and PrC descriptions still have detail changes that apply to...

I already have something like this that has: almost all of the 3.0/3.5 books, including FR and Ebb Warcraft (incomplete) Dragonlance (incomplete) Kalamar (owned, but not started yet) Paizo Pathfinder (incomplete) all 3.5 Dragon mags most 3.5 Dungeon mags I used this particular list of sources...

Fair enough. I honestly had no idea what "2nd party" might ACTUALLY mean, but I knew what 1st and 3rd party were and so I just tried to split the difference. I might have a doctorate, but that doesn't mean I'm smart! :)

Thanks for that hugely comprehensive list! My goal was largely to collect crunch. I have decided to forego the Rokugan material. I will finish collecting the Warcraft stuff, though I will skip the World of Warcraft stuff (though I hear it is of superior quality overall). I have also decided...

Thanks for the quick responses. I omitted Paizo, as they were sort of a "given." If anyone knows of any others, I'd love to know. Different question: on the KoK books with the logo, did any of them have any rules crunch to them, or were they all pure setting material?

Hello all. I'm trying to find what other companies released books during the 3rd edition that had the official D&D logo on them. I know of Dragonlance, Kingdoms of Kalamar, and Warcraft. Were there more? I'm trying to hunt them all down. Thanks in advance! C

I guess we'll just have to wait for the long-overdue re-launch of Mutant Chronicles for Die Hard Inquisitors in space then.

Yeah, I may have to just wait for the FFG version. Will it be worth $10 more? Anyone?
