I run Pathfinder. I use Hexographer and Dungeonographer to make maps, Hero Lab for characters/NPCs, and Combat Manager to track initiative, hp, encounters, and to look up rules. We also share a Dropbox folder, wherein campaign and character information gets put.

Pretty sure that is the compilation of the Bastion books mentioned by Nellisir. That said, Dragonwing looks to have a few products of their own, so thanks for the info.

Actually, it's 500m, roughly 550 yards. So picture that flag at half-height/size. Actually, knock a foot off it first, as from what I can tell, golf flag sticks are usually 7' (we all know the Internet doesn't lie and I don't play golf...). Knock another half foot off if you're basing a human...

I always wished Green Ronin would revisit the Book of the Righteous or release it as OGC because I'd like to see third party support for it, but I dream too much. So I'd add all of the deities from BotR to the Not OGC list.

In terms of using a website for random goodness, I tie-in my site with tables for Inspiration Pad (Inspiration Pad Pro v2.0) - a free, easy to use program that uses very simple but powerful language in its tables. On my 'droid, I just browse to the site and run my tables. The only downside...

Tiny specks. Heck at 1000m, you're lucky to tell that something is humanoid.

...without violating any NDAs. Here's the thing, I've read and re-read the "open-form" method of handling skill checks, but I can't seem to get how the interaction between a skill and an ability differs, if it does, from 3e. In 3e, you had an ability bonus + a relevant skill bonus, that was...

I want to sit down with other people and have fun playing D&D. I think I'm in the target audience. Given that Monte has already written about some of the design decisions made on 3e and the lesson learned from it, I'm quite happy that he's involved. Sure beats someone making the same...

I would want something to allow a more narrative method, akin to the 3e Heroes of Battle. Or, opposing card manuevers or whatnot. I'd like anything but a miniatures wargame in my non-miniatures, non-wargame. Something that could quickly hash out a ship combat, that is basically a quick...

Not in the core, but certainly in a tack-on. Better to allow opt-in instead of requiring an opt-out.

You play to win the game! - YouTube

I use a laptop when I DM, so between the PRD and Combat Manager, I have no need or use for the screen.

Artifacts are the stuff of undead armies...or legends, which is the same thing really.

Personally, I think if you're introducing an element where people have to remember and calculate that their first 5' is "free", you're not really reducing the complexity. But that's my gut feeling, if you try it out, I think it's safe to say we'd be interested in hearing your results.

I agree with Zelda and would like to add that being a host, DM, or player instills no sort of responsibility that you become a social worker. Ideally the mature approach when joining a new group would be to spend some time learning what the mores and social agreements are in place and not...

This would work really well if the Macguffin is stolen by a third party, resulting in the PCs (a scripture-spouting assassin who later has a change of heart, a swashbuckler recently returned from far away lands and with many tales, a spy who has infiltrated the third party, and bard who...

We looked at handling that in three ways: 1) There are no Attacks of Opportunity, so why worry? Obviously this approach leads to a more open, cinematic style. The wizard doesn't get hit because he's not statically standing still for the fighter while casting. Or, if you prefer, the actual...

There's a difference between legally necessary and practically necessary. That safe harbour is critical for businesses without the means/desire to hire attorneys to take on WotC's.

Never let the rules get in the way of a good story. After all, who's to say he doesn't have some sort of unholy cauldron available that's responsible for the army?

We ditched them completely with no ill effects. The feat economy you mention is offset by the volume of feats available.
