I think there's design space for cumulative or "escalating" groups of conditions, rather than the cross-referenced list we have (that can be "entered" at any point) -- a smaller number of condition "tracks," sort of like fatigue and exhaustion did in 3.X. The design goal would be to reduce the...

Well, I hope it is not impolitic of me to say I haven't actually run any of the adventures, but I do feel familiar enough with them (after having done the layout... in this case three times) to throw in a few comments. That said, I would just make sure Giorgio comes across as the stereotypical...

Maybe it has something to do with the user's Invisible Mode.

Here's an example of the kind of thing I mean (I like gold, so I decorated them with gold :) ). I'm sure it's possible to knock a few pixels off the height and make them "match" the site better, but I had nothing better to do so I made a quick sketch. :) The width of this button bar is 600 px if...

Awesome looking but yeah -- too doggone wide. Recommend changing the "longer" buttons to two lines of text (and of course keeping all buttons the same final height). Edited to add: Incidentally, what font *is* that? It's bugging me that I don't know. :)

Bounce the idea off your players first -- they might actually not mind settling in for a good story. OTOH, they may champ at the bit to give "voices" to some of the NPCs. But I would ask first. If they go for it, make sure you know whether your group is better at impromptu script reading than...

During the Cold War, the phrase was understood to have something to do with the free-market economy and representative democracy as contrasted with socialism and Communism. It has been understood in subtly different ways throughout history, but as differentiated from "truth [and] justice" it...

When originally coined, the term had nothing to do with the cost of the thing. Freeway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To the OP: Buy or borrow a copy of Carl Sagan's book The Demon-Haunted World. (At Amazon.com: buy it here.) Read it cover to cover. Sagan frequently discusses "how science works" with regard to various pseudoscience topics like aliens, psychic powers, and more.

Time for the girdles of giant strength story. Once upon a time, my 2E game got a little out of control with Strength-enhancing magical items. In short, every PC had one. Now, I got a little frustrated by this. The players had a lot of fun, and combat tended to go very quickly, but it really...

Thanks for the rapid response! The core system will probably be Trailblazer, but I'm thinking the Combat Maneuver system might have to come from Pathfinder so I can use the Pathfinder critter stats "as is." There might be some Unearthed Arcana in the mix as well -- especially for skills. I wish...

What the title says. Are there any "gotchas" or things I should be looking for or adjusting if I want to bring Trailblazer PCs into a Pathfinder module?

Don't let them stay dead -- have Rantle come in and save them! Certainly they have failed the encounter, but survival (and being indebted to the smug, self-important Rantle) is generally much more interesting, I'd say...

The PG and CG were updated a couple times each; Adventures One through Four were updated once each. Adventure Five is way too new to have gotten an update yet, given that we haven't heard of any real showstoppers therein.

Okay, first of all, how your group handles topics like "inappropriate conduct," bodily functions, drinking, and dating is not something I consider my business. If everyone in the group is okay with such things, that's usually all that interests me. Certain things are only weird out of context, I...

Perhaps you can rationalize a "hands off the other PCs" dogma -- your character notices the other PCs are *already* doing things that dovetail nicely with her goals, so overtly manipulating them would really be counterproductive (lots of effort wasted and lots of risk incurred for little...

I believe it's personal pride, mainly. The following four things in particular spring to mind. Please note the following is based only on my own thinking and opinion, and isn't meant to describe anyone in particular. Pride in Belonging This is the warm feeling one tends to get when one is a...

That is the beautiful thing about Lulu.com -- when you order one they make it for you. Never sold out. :)

FWIW, I haven't noticed any mention of D&D in the local media since the shooting, even though the investigation has brought to light many other facets of the alleged shooter's past. This amid a real "school violence" worry that includes a middle-school shooting one week before the UAHuntsville...
