    PCs dealing with sexuality

    Oddly enough, I'm remembering back to the last time I gamed with a homosexual friend. I have many, though most of them don't game. Still, I can't recall whether Dan's character was gay or not. It never really came up. He was a pretty good kisser, though.

    Are encounters too easy?

    I haven't had any trouble challenging PCs, personally. I have had a much easier time making encounters as hard as I want them to be. But if I want to put the fear of God into my players, I find this is still pretty easy. Unlike previous editions, though, it only happens when I want it to. As...

    Why do we have bandit scenarios?

    This is largely true. The only time I have a problem with bandits is when they initiate an attack on the party. It just seems unreal to me, that these people, driven to violent means to make ends meet, would attack a group of multiple, well armed people. Seems like they'd prefer the weak and...

    The gaming community: online compared to the physical world

    Another disparity I've noticed, at least with myself, is that online, when you hear about a problem player, it's very easy to say, "No, I'd never play with him. I'd kick that player out. i'd walk away from that DM's table." But in meatspace, I tend to be very forgiving, especially if someone...

    You Need a New Avatar

    Y-you're right! I do need a new avatar! I've been using this character portrait for an L4W game here, do you think you could do something with it? Maybe include something to show off my Rose City pride?

    Indeed. I'd be giving OPS some exp, but I need to spread it around first.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 player needs help into first 4e characther

    Also in the Bard's favor is that while such a large group will likely have another skillmonkey, another ritual caster and another Leader, bardic rituals can only be used by Bards, and there is a smaller chance that they have another Bard. This would help you stand out. Unless they do have...

    Newer DM needs help with budding power gamer

    I've traditionally allowed players to change their sheets a bit for the first few sessions as well, as they get a handle on things. It does make sense. As for the problem at hand, I'd suggest turning up the heat a bit. Harder encounters, or more of them. More seems odd at first, but when the...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 player needs help into first 4e characther

    Really, it's just a matter of manners. You don't see me posting in the legacy or pathfinder boards telling people who are not interested in 4e to convert to it. I'd like to not see it here, too.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 player needs help into first 4e characther

    Actually, yes. I think Bard is worth a good look. Particularly the Cunning path. It would give you a strong dose of skill monkey, a hint of magic that could be easily flavored as instinctive, subconscious or tech based, and the combat style works with what you mentioned earlier(hanging back...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 player needs help into first 4e characther

    Pathfinder is not "The Light". You are not "Saving" anyone. We are not censoring you just by telling you are giving heavily biased, rather impractical and downright rude advice.

    WoW Imitates 4e?

    I'm not talking about current 4e=WoW troll-lols(which I am well acquainted with, thank you), but rather a new surge in their popularity that I predict when/if this new system in WoW rolls out in which trolls don't realize the new system in WoW is new, but assume it pre-dates 4e, and thereafter...

    WoW Imitates 4e?

    It's gonna be pretty hilarious to see trolls claiming 4e is copying WoW with the powers system. I mean, I might have to go to the WotC boards to see it, but I do fully expect to.
