I have a beard, but I shave my neck. I don't exactly have a strong chin, which I don't like. I have had a beard since my freshmen year of high school. I shaved completely once. I was not a pleasant person to be around. I think I need a beard for my face.

I prefer the book. I enjoy reading them better, I can put sticky notes and things in sections where I made something clearer to me or found more help online for a problems, and I enjoy the tactile sense of using a book. However, PDFs are a handy way to make sure that the players get the...

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. This does hurt. But is this because of religious movements, a culture decreasing the value education, the stupid "it's just a theory" bull that doesn't understand what a theory is, or something else?

A gargantuan ship that houses a species long ago thought extinct. The ship is a colony ship that just re-appeared in the universe. When the ship activated it's FTL engines, something went wrong and it tunneled into another dimension. During this the ship was damaged and sections were isolated...

A Dyson Sphere, when technology to create such a structure does not yet exist. An asteroid is giving off strange readings, it is hiding a super powerful ship designed for assaulting much larger capital ships (think the Defiant ripping apart the Enterprise in 1-2 shots) A planet with giant...

Whoops. I confused the threads I was writing in. You started the Bard/Monk thread.

@steeldragons do this! Janx took my idea and made it way better. I was imagining something where Cain fought and killed major leaders/god-blessed/etc and destroyed sacred sites to prove the gods had no real power and they were false. Leading a new movement against the gods and actually...

What about having the gods need their followers. Their power comes from their believers faith. Cain needs to only destroy enough people/temples/religious sites to disrupt the faithful. I imagine the gods as ethereal beings. But destroying the followers and sites will weaken and possibly...

Steeldragons, is this in your "archetype" flowchart thing you created? Bard I place in rogue. The Bard uses charisma, skill, and guile to get by. The influence to allies can be done with moral. Bards can also function like warlords. Charismatic, skilled, competent, and commanding and assisting...

First, when viewing the forum in the legacy skin, your text is completely black and unreadable. I had to highlight it to read it. This will almost certainly affect how many people read your thread. As for the Glory/Renown, what type of rewards are you looking to give? Mechanical benefits...

I have seen E6 or Epic 6th referenced as a hack. If it classifies, it is my favorite. 3.5/Pathfinder and making it much lower leveled, controlled, and more grim and heroic.

You Scored as Storyteller You're more inclined toward the role playing side of the equation and less interested in numbers or experience points. You're quick to compromise if you can help move the story forward, and get bored when the game slows down for a long planning session. You want to...

Are we talking as a GM or player? As a GM I need that explanation so that I can riff on the content when my players deviate from an adventure (I don't like published adventures because of this). The "making sense" also has context, bathrooms/latrines/etc- I could do without. But I want there to...

I wonder if this is because it is true or just subjective.

Seconded! In 3.X era games, I really enjoy playing and running games from 3-6th levels. I greatly prefer to run E6 games because of this. @Stormonu makes a good point about levels 1-3. I think level 3 is when the characters first really start to feel like the archetype wizard, fighter, rogue...

Interestingly, I have seen this A LOT but never actually connected the dots. Why do players want to go against the setting's vibe in their very first foray into the game? I like to get a feel for the setting and picking a setting-specific iconic race is a great way to do that.

Whatever fits my concept. I rarely take race into mechanical consideration, other than a "Can this still be useful?" line of thinking. I don't want to end up playing a character that is not helpful to the party. But I'm okay with not being as efficient as possible. 4e game example: An eladrin...

Only if the ghost is hostile. Attacking a non-evil ghost would violate the paladin's code and turn him to the dark side. Besides, when the ghost pulls the whole "point of view" crap out of his ass, the paladin will be confused for a couple rounds anyway. Hard to turn the ghost then.

Sure, he's a crazy goblin psion who uses telekinesis to pull the PCs ship from the swamp it sunk into. Once the ship is out and drained, they can patch a whole and go on to rescue a couple friendly NPCs who may or may not be bait.

The past few sessions of the "Shadows Over New York" Dresden Files game I'm a player in have been awesome. We found three Dark Gates (Warcraft style) that lead to Hell, and have a legion of demons trying to get to the mortal realm, in a dresdenverse style MIB type place, that were being blocked...
