    DR WHO RPG in LEGO

    I found some cool videos of a group playing the DR WHO RPG..LEGO style! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AjPeTkQQ0Q&list=PLCV8nmYoOi4FTbEvolgvox3-ljvcDLRzM I haven't gone all the way through but the GM is pretty good and he has a good group.

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    This is a weird thread because it seems like people are talking about 2-3 different things.

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    There are alot of weird things about the decision to start experimenting with prestige classes. 1. How does this sort of addition to the game relate to notion of avoiding bloat? 2. How will future prestiage classes work if alot of what they were in 3E have already been folded into how classes...

    The official 2015 Doctor Who (with spoilers for aired episodes only) thread

    I liked the first part. How to judge the story overall will largely depend upon how they resolve things in part 2. I liked that it was a classic base under siege situation. Very much style over substance so far though...there isn't that much to the story and the characters are pretty thin...

    The official 2015 Doctor Who (with spoilers for aired episodes only) thread

    A couple things: 1. MarkB is right. I used the "god from the Machine" phrase incorrectly. My goof. 2. I should not have been so colorful in my earlier post. I should have said something more along the lines of not liking the idea of the sludge daleks and finding the ending weak. Anything...

    The official 2015 Doctor Who (with spoilers for aired episodes only) thread

    I'd call it half-good. All the character stuff with Clara, Doctor, Davros and the Mistress were great. The "god from the Machine" ending with the dalek undead sludge was retarded. Mind-numbingly stupid. I honestly don't know how to think about the episode as what I like I really liked but...

    D&D 5E (2014) My favorite race- what I play, what I want to see

    I voted but I think from my forum name most people can guess what my answer was without me declaring it. But, halfling..or hobbit if you prefer.

    The official 2015 Doctor Who (with spoilers for aired episodes only) thread

    Something else I'm not sure about is the plausibility of the "UNIT running a computer search to find the Doctor" scene. It assumes two things: 1. That he's in earth's past and that 2. that there was a record made of Doctor showing up and doing something. Those are some pretty big assumptions...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Many in your Group?

    My group varies between 4-6.

    The official 2015 Doctor Who (with spoilers for aired episodes only) thread

    I thought it was a pretty good episode; I pretty much agree with all of Morrus' points above... A few of my own observations. Why does the snake henchman have eyes, nose and mouth like that if its a collection of smaller snakes twisted together? If it were that means the smaller snakes would...

    Guess what day it is?

    I'm excited...New Doctor Who season starts! Just as long as they avoid trash like Kill the Moon.

    No experiance

    My advice would be get Freedom City and then start adding your own stuff to it as you and the players start making things up. There's a lot there to base a game around, a setting, a hero team, villains, etc. And a lot of it is already statted out for you.

    No experiance

    TJ Panther...since you are learning the rules, I would suggest that you use an established comics universe like Marvel or DC so you don't have to make all that up. Use characters and situations from the comics to populate your campaign. It can be tough to learn a new system and make everything...

    Fantasy Flight Games Acquires LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS

    This is interesting news. I wonder what the reaction amongst devoted RPG and card game fans of L5R will be. I have a buddy who's a big L5R fan and he's been bemoaning its slow slide out of popularity for years. I think he's going to be excited by this. He likes Fantasy Flight but he's not...

    Froghemoths & Flail Snails - Oh My! Chris Perkins' New Adventure Sneak Peek

    I'm starting to get a little cynical about WOTC's appeals to nostalga as way of promoting 5E. You guys remember when Mr. Perkins posted picks of the Old Greyhawk box set on his desk with a leading"Wonder what this means.." type comment. Nothing came of that. It's hard for me to get...

    Who Makes WotC's Adventures?

    Thanks for the clarification and insight Joseph. It's good to hear stuff from people actually involved. I'm very happy that Green Ronin got a chance to work on and contribute to 5E.

    Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide: The First Official D&D 5E Setting

    I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about it. I'm frankly quite surprised by them releasing FR update material at all...so Yeah! I'm just not sure about the format. A book largely meant for players (according to their own copy) is not in my mind the best way to present camapign setting...

    Anyone seen ANT-MAN?

    I really liked it. Fun movie. The big what-if that looms over the film is what would Edgar Wright have done with it had he not parted ways with Marvel? Although I had a few scripts issues, overall I was very impressed with Ant-man as I thought it was going to be VERY bad. I was pleasantly...

    Recently bought 5.0, being drawn to 1981 Moldvay Basic

    You can have the best of both worlds. Run in 5E rules but use alot of the excellent modules made for BECMI.

    D&D 5E (2014) Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    Another thing about the focus on hardback adventures only plan. If this is their only focus, why aren't the adventures ALOT better than they are. Tyranny of Dragons adventures had an excuse-they were being written when the rules were still being written and the game in flux. Fair enough...
