    Trailblazer Teasers (collected)

    I've got two issues with skills - first, they're a lot of work for the casual and/or math-challenged player, secondly they're a lot of work for me as DM for very little payoff. Until I got E-Tools, in fact, I rarely ever did skills for any NPC's other than the most important ones. I kind of...

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    I personally love a refreshing adult beverage, but I prefer not to have any drinking going on during game. I have seen it lead to issues, though not often. I just prefer to be in top form, mentally, and I really notice the effects of even 1 or 2 beers during gaming more than almost any other time.

    Iterative Attacks

    You could allow the option to abort the second attack to take a move action - meaning that you'd take the -2 penalty on the first attack but wouldn't totally lose out if you drop the foe in one blow.

    Trailblazer Teasers (collected)

    You could include them as a sidebar, or a web enhancement, along with a note as to when they might come into play - epic levels, etc. Otherwise it would look kind of odd to have them there without some method of access for the character.

    ENWorld Spamletter

    They were going out in stages, but I thought they had all gone out by now. Otherwise, what Eric said - it's legit, and if you don't want to receive it hit the unsubscribe link...

    Trailblazer Teasers (collected)

    Why is it more ideal to use Pathfinder+Trailblazer rather than simply 3.5+Trailblazer? Apart from Pathfinder being an ongoing ruleset whereas 3.5 is not...

    What can Google Insight tell us about RPGs?

    I tried "roleplaying" and there was a pretty significant drop from 2004 to today. Probably half or so. Searching "4E" proved pretty pointless - the graph trended upwards, but the suggested links on the side suggested that it was pulling a lot of stuff non-D&D related. For example, it reminded...

    Excellent! No need to make a decision on PC right now, of course. We can work that out later!

    I've added you! Hey, PC - any preference on character?

    Sorry to bug you, but I messed up on that time - its actually SATURDAY 10-2. I blame a lack of coffee. Can you change it again?

    [Saturday 10-2] The King's Players, D&D 3.5 - Full - Accepting Alternates

    I'm changing the time to 10-2 on Sunday, as that seems to be a less busy time! EDIT - switching one LAST time to 10-2 Saturday! I blame lack of coffee.

    What's your preference if I run a GenCon game?

    CoC, Feng Shui, Paranoia - any of those would be awesome. I'm particularly interested in Trail of Cthulhu from a system standpoint.

    RSDancey replies to Goodman article (Forked Thread: Goodman rebuttal)

    Computer-Facilitated Tabletop Roleplaying, to coin a term? This is what I've been expecting as well. Laptops at the table are too cumbersome, but once smart phones become even more ubiquitous, it'll be plausible for everyone to show up at game with their iPhone and play. Heck, two of my...

    [Saturday 10-2] The King's Players, D&D 3.5 - Full - Accepting Alternates

    The King’s Players The Duke of Gascoyne, Max “the Mad,” has kidnapped the most famed actress and the most respected writer in the Kingdom, and is forcing them to create a play glorifying his insane ambitions. The authorities have no interest in antagonizing “Mad” Max by insisting on their...

    Done buying?

    I was thinking about this the other day. I've been buying every major D&D book since 1979, and it feels very wierd not to be buying new books. I'll buy Pathfinder, and perhaps that will change the pattern I'm in, but I am probably done buying.

    Upstairs for NeMoran's Vault?

    There's an old module from Dungeon #35 "The Ghost of Mistmoor," (I think that's the name) that would probably work well for this. A key plot point is getting into the vault of the house. Its a great low-level haunted mansion module, and easily updated to 3E or (I would imagine) to 4E. I ran...

    How the heck did medieval war work? And other rambling questions.

    The use of trenches was actually fairly prevalent - before cannon, they'd try to tunnel under the walls to undermine them. Then cannon were introduced, which could knock down the walls without mining, which led to the fortress designs changing (to the "star fort" style of earthworks), which...

    Market Research Info?

    No, you can't use WoTC art for an E-Book... I do recall seeing a site that was intended to allow cheap, one-time access to decent art. They were pretty decent quality pics, done by people who have done some work for major third party publishers. I'll look around for the link. Other than that...
