Thank you man. I was gonna say. Who has to wait for rules to be made for them? You have been Poisoned: Save vs. DC or die.

This is awesome news. Thanks a ton! You're guys knowledge of what makes an exciting world benefits us all.

You seem earnest in your response, so I'll try and help you out. Try something pre-d20 for a change. You'll find the vast majority of what has historically passed for a RPG is not included in this current edition. While I admit it is technically an RPG as it includes 3-4 elements beyond what...

Thanks. I'd like to play T&T 5th edition. I've always heard that game was pretty fun even if its focus was more gonzo fantasy than high adventure. (the real definition high adventure, not the current one meaning uber-magic) I'll look for Chivalry and Sorcery too. Do you know who publishes...

You couldn't pay me to DM 3rd edition. Well... okay. I'm not that wealthy. I do have a price for the time and frustration it would require. But I'll run 2nd for you any time you want. For free.

I think this is what you get when you base your marketing strategy on "core rules". Or what I like to call, "Only we can write balanced rules. You shouldn't bother". WotC should publish a new magic system and new combat system in the next PHB. To give options to those who find the current...

I think I'll stick with Neverwinter Nights. It sounds like this website won't do anything NN cannot, but with a $15 monthly subscription. I suppose there's the magazines.

Not really funny at all. The comic looks great, but based on this sole punchline he needs a better writer. "Quit blocking my protagonism!"

To the OP: I hate to break it to you, but no one who likes 4th edition really cares about what the feats and powers mean. They care about what they allow them to do on the battlefield. It's like Chess. Who cares what "rook" means? It's hardly relevant to playing the game well. It's not...

RIFTS is one of the better systems still on the market. It may be the only old school system still putting out books. At least we have plenty of 2nd edition books still on bookshelves in hobby shops or newcomers wouldn't know D&D was originally a roleplaying game at one time. You're thread...

If you consider every fantasy RPG a version of D&D, then yes, this is also D&D. But barely a shade in relation to the original game. It's a bit like finding one of Napoleon's descendants and crowning him Emperor of France. He may be a Bonaparte, but he's spent the last 50 years in Queens. If...

So did D&D lovers anticipating 4th edition take down Amazon yesterday? That would be awesome. Must be true it was June 6th, right? It's too big a coincidence otherwise, all the world waiting for 4e. Guess no more countdowns for D&D ever again. Even Amazon can't hack it.

To back up Wizards here, they are making the right choice with DDi by making it DirectX. A large reason for why PC compatibles have such a fast upgrade cycle is computer gaming. Macs just aren't built for gaming in the same way. Most anyone who is going to buy a Mac already knows this. The...

It's not that I don't care for them. It's that the two are completely incompatible with each other as it stands. You cannot both roleplay and play the minis game they've got going on. In fact, the game plays better and faster if you don't tack on how your abilities work in the imagined world...

Are you honestly saying that 4th edition is not a roleplaying game? that would make sense. What you are describing is a miniatures battle game like Warhammer. You can roleplay your little dudes while playing Warhamer, but that doesn't make it a roleplaying game. I think this is the...

This is good advice. Most of the rules actually are about a tactical minis game, so don't use anything that might waste your time at the table if your game isn't about tactical minis. Also, look to other games to cover other areas of play if your group is interested in RPing something other...

Personally, I blame the Forge and vocabulary of gaming they created out of the spite they had for 99% of games and gamers. It's now infected D&D so it has become nothing but a miniatures game with a single "narrative" mechanic tacked on. It's the least ROLEPLAY-oriented game with the title of...

There are a ton of really good ones in Dungeon Magazine until about 2001 or so.

This is really bad advice. It's as if the world is no longer understandable enough to interact with, players need to know the rules of it to play the game. That's just flat out wrongheaded. Why would I show the players how a trap works before they... play with the trap to figure out how it...
