    D&D 4E So all these wacky arguments are still about 4e, right?

    But EN world is a sensible part of the internet with mostly sensible people. I'm sure I'll give 5E a look but am not sure if I'm going to switch as my group didn't like the playests

    D&D 4E So all these wacky arguments are still about 4e, right?

    Frankly, scrap next, support AD&D/2E, 3.5 and 4E. Everyone whinging want it to either be 2E or the next version of 3E if it's not perfect they won't change over so whats the point?

    Home brew Vs Modules

    A mix. I'm fussy with modules. Also since my setting is 4E faerun most geneic D&D modules need to be converted in terms of location and deities. But if it's a good module it'll be worth it - case in point - Gardmore abbey. I loved it. Now I'm converting/adapting the 3E 'red hand of doom' for my...

    Malifaux

    I play, waiting to get the new rules. With Games Worshops bat-dung crazy price increases (£35 for 10 20mm based plastic models..) I'm looking to get the hell out of dodge. Also the through the breach RPG looks interesting. I've only got the pre-released beta from kickstarter but it looks good.

    D&D 4E Forked: "Math and Grind" or "Why Rechan is Right" (From: "4e One-trick ponies")

    I did an encounter where there were several shadowy ghost assasin things and 2 controlling clerics. Basically the 8 ghosts had 160hp between them/ 20 hp each. so for every full 20 hp taken one died. Harder to calculate with blasts and such so you have to think on the fly, but so long as you use...

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

    We're playing it. Main issues are times between rests, so we won't count as extended rest until the GM says so, which is fine. We're also not going for any one particular group (guild, watch or fist) at the moment as we're not sure who we trust. In addition it all just seems a bit random and...

    How to Teach a GM to be a Player?

    I like playing, but I do worry that I 'join in' too much or try to add too much 'story' as I know it's what I like my players to do.

    Is there a game like...

    To elaborate more and doing my research it would potentially be to run a Menzobezzarin type of game with grow on drow intrigue with an overall goal. A lot of stuff would have to happen out of table and potentially would involve player on player 'rivalries' but not actually violence (hopefully!)

    Is Elder Sign a better package than Arkham Horror?

    Arkham horror seems to have a lot of scope but is actually thin on story, its well themed though... and a bitch to setup. Elder Sign is basically arkham horror without as much faffing about. It's pressured, tactical and fun, I would say it's the superior game, and while not identical captures...

    How many d20s do you own?

    about 20 probably, counting my loaners and the ones in the D&D board games.

    Is there a game like...

    Is there a game like D&D (ie high fantasy, magic, etc but with options to change this things a little) that is more 'zoomed out'. In the way that things like vampire the masquerade is more story based and while you can focus on the minutia (and indeed at many times do) you can also focus on the...

    Who is/was the world's greatest scientist?

    Must you always be the sober voice of reason? :p Shake it up, state that Simon Cowell is the best scientist EVAR to see who dies of nerdrage!! :devil:

    Who is/was the world's greatest scientist?

    Personally I think Louis Pasteur. The main problem is that there are so many fields and they all build on each other. So Van leeuwenhoek 'only' made a microscope but it helped others later down the line. I don't think Darwin's was that significant, at the moment it's in vogue due to the whole...

    Female Gamemasters?

    no GM/DM/STs but 2/6 of our D&D group is wimmenz. Interestingly my previous group was also 2/5 hmmmm... is there a golden ratio of female:male gamers?

    Shadowrun 5th Edition: Coming Soon to a MegaCorp Near You!

    That was a big article. Will/ Is character creation still a massive minefield, how clunky is it?

    A world of darkness retroclone?

    It would need to be Called Wod:the Darkening to appear legit.
