    D&D 5E (2014) Looks like Wizards has deleted the entire fighter maneuver thread.

    I don't think we're gonna be the last people to abandon wizzards forums due to over moderation.

    3 Fan Communities That Hate Their Own Members

    I've not found this with RPGs (except on forums on the internet which isn't real!) but have in MtG where it's a very cut-throat environment. Basically its WAAC. Wargames vary on the game and community, e.g. 40k is FUBAR but I find that Malifaux is balanced and fun. Warmahordes is the same as MtG...

    D&D 5E (2014) What belongs in a $50 PHB?

    I like the 3x £25-30 / $50 format. If there were to be a condensed version then I think DMG and MM together but I like begin able to take only the MM in terms of books with me. Most of the time I don't carry the books around with the exception of campaign specific stuff (shadow fell, BOVD, FRPG...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you ready for a new edition of D&D?

    Not ready, didn't like the playtest and my group wasn't mad on it either. Rather than learn a new unpolished ruleset merely in order to beta test we spent our precious gaming time on 4E campaigns. We're in the middle of a campaign and they're heading to paragon soon, if we're lucky we might get...

    Is Dark Sun an alternate future Forgotten Realms?

    I posted my theory here Ignore the rest of the site it's not finished.

    I ordered some from noble knight in the end. The P&P from america for 3 sets was cheaper than 1 set from amazon :hmm: It seems interesting but quite 'loose' - the system seems more linguistic than mathematical (say like 3.X) which I think would appeal to my wife for example. (She likes...

    D&D 4E Is anyone running Murder in Baldur's Gate with 4E? (and other 4E adventure design issues)

    I know this is thread necromancy but we're nearly finished the arc, and had I known I think I'd have made a harper agent rather than my bizzare kobold paladin. It's still quite fun and we rock at the combat, we just need to stretch our RP muscle for the detective-y parts!

    Nova Praxis

    Anyone have any experience of this? I've got the PWYW version and am currently reading the fluff which is interesting // similar to Deus Ex in feel. Are there any preliminary info people can give me - game type (action, investigative, character driven?) ideal number of players (GM + 3/4/5) and...

    will 4.0 succeed?

    My current though is to simply pillage the bits I want from 13th Age - escalation dice and so on. 4 is great, gamey enough but not like in 3E and loose enough but not as loose as AD&D. I just hope that character builder will survive in some format. My other slight annoyance at 4E was the...

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    Fallen angel, the whole thing is an ode to catholicsm. Although false temples run by lyricists would be **deliciously** evil

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    This does partially touch on what I am wondering - unlike say a cleric of bahamut, who a kid might grow up seeing as heroic and as an exemplar and might one day aspire to be, I'm guessing that most people don't see the cleric of talos as something to aspire to, although I can imagine a pretty...

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    I agree this one is easy for me - dragons are all powerful, almost god like, tiamat is the head of that logic - she's a dragon uber god. Humans might be greedy for riches, power or as mentioned in the cult of the dragon I agree - but in warhammer Khaine is the god of war as well as murder. I...

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    That to me is more appeasement - my wife is an ex-pirate Rogue (neutral/unaligned) who's primary deity is umberlee. I wonder if its a case of 'I'm a psycho militant feminist so I'll worship lovitar' or 'I worship lovitar because I like hurting people, and then become a militant feminist' I can...

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    Yeah I can see the bitter and twisted fall into ones own petty vengeance and it makes for nuanced characters - that's the appeal of the evil cleric. The thing is that most evil clerics (eg taliban clerics?) probably thing that they are doing the right thing How do you arrive at a cleric who...

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    But to it's logical conclusion evil is self-defeating. I just don't get the mentality behind such characters

    RP-ing and Evil Cleric (Faerun)

    I'm trying to get my head around how I'd roleplay an evil cleric. This is more of a hypothetical as I usually DM but it's something which has niggled at me for a while. Aside from Bane who has military/law/organisational aspects and Azmodeus who is similar (though less overt) I can see very...

    What is your favorite dragon

    Black dragons - they look cool in D&D mythos, are a bit different while still being dragons. They also have more environmental type effects which provide for a good tactical encounter.
