Because 999 times out of 1,000 I've not decided the results before the die rolls, and my players don't need to know when that 1,000th time rolls around. I let the game handle things almost all the time, except when it would result in a less enjoyable game for those involved. It is a very...

Hello everyone! One of my current campaigns is based in Almas in Pathfinder Chronicle's Golarion setting. But I have to admit that I've not had all that much experience running completely urban based fantasy campaigns. What resources are out there that have good advice on this subject? Any...

If you do tend to fudge die rolls a lot, or 'fake' die rolls often (IE you roll randomly for no reason other than to throw your players off of which rolls are real and which aren't) you don't need a screen. I just cup my hand in front of my die before I roll it. My players know that I...

Yes, I would subscribe in a heartbeat.

I don't quite understand why you would walk up to an event and bash someone elses fun. I have my own reasons and internal struggles when it comes to which system I prefer (Pathfinder), but I think going out of your way to attack someone over their choice of game is, quite frankly, ridiculous...

How does BoXM handle healing? There is a copy at my FLGS I've been tempted to pick up, but would like to know how it handles things, first, as that is the main house rule I'm looking at for my PF games.

I'm currently finding myself in the same internal struggle as a GM/DM. But for slightly different reasons. I was really strong in the 'pro' 4e camp for its launch and several months afterward, but drifted over to the Pathfinder crowd when I started disliking some of the policy decisions of...

One of the problems that may be contributing to this is that a lot of the crunch books have needed a lot of errata, so the DDI sources are BETTER sources for this information than even the PRINT BOOKs. I keep buying the books, however, (or was, as I'm not really a 4e player at the moment) as I...

Just chiming in here to say: THANK YOU! This is a very nice sheet, and all my players love it. Recommending it's use to the other game groups in the area, and they think the same.

The Setup A few months back, I drifted away from 4e for a variety of reasons I won't bring up here. While not all of those reasons have remedied themselves, I am liking the new tone that Wizards has lately, and since I still have a complete collection of 4e material save their published...

As with any form of art (and I consider marketing an art, indeed): Yes, you can break the rules, but you better have a really good reason for doing so. And the result better be worth it. 4e's marketing for its launch was not a wild success. Or are you arguing that it was handled correctly?

Wizards was taking a big risk with the transition to 4e. 3e was such a successful product that any transition was going to be rough, and 4e was going to be such a sharp change in direction that nothing could have made it a smooth ride. And then they botched the launch. When 4e was launching...

I'm not getting used to these comics coming on time... glad to see it!

The PDFs issue was, for me, the straw that broke the camels back and sent me packing towards Paizo. It wasn't the only issue, but it would be safe to assume that I wouldn't have gone out looking for an alternative to D&D if it had not occurred.

This is an amazing job.

What's the dimensions of those drawers? Those might be the magic bullet.

When a company does enough things that I don't approve of, I 'vote with my wallet' so to speak. When EA released the draconian Spore DRM, I boycotted EA. When NBC pulled their shows from iTunes, I stopped watching NBC television. When Games Workshop stopped letting other retailers...

WotC, to get me to be a supporter of 4e again, would have to change their companies stance and attitude that they have assumed since its launch. Their communication with the player base has been poor, often one way, and very tight lipped. They could not deliver what they said they would on...

I keep hearing Hirst Arts come up again and again. For those of you that use the product, about how long does it take to assemble a good sized basic piece? (Like say a 4x4 corner piece or wall piece?)

Having just come back from GenCon (my first time attending) I've since been inspired by the various options I have available for... lets face it... toys at the game table. But I've had a hard time deciding what I should use. Currently I use a good old fashioned Battlemat and Wet-Erase markers...
