In my game, spotlight seems to be granted less by mechanics and more by who is clever and/or bold. The controller wins out because he is quite clever and quite bold, though this of course has nothing to do with his sheet. The defender is next, and this is partially mechanical, because his...

Canus watches the man drop with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, my. Do you think he's going to make it, Doc?" he asks evenly, his eyes scanning the rooms for threats.

Yes, sorry. Song walks into the room and gives the imposing lady a polite bow. "Greetings, my lady. I am known as Xiagei Song. May I ask whom I have the honor of meeting?"

It's hard to say what might have happened, but for me, I think it would have been much easier but much less rewarding. I had a hard time with the 3.5-4e shift. I really just didn't want things to change, regardless of what that change was. Hating 4e for it being different led me to look at...

Most of the errata is to powers and feats, though, so in my experience, it's fairly easy to delegate that work down to the players.

It isn't always the same things, but I always forget something. Another thing that crops up is that I need to get to know my group better. It seems like the NPCs they like most are the ones I've barely fleshed out, while the ones I spend any time on might get remembered as "That elf" or 'The...

I am on board with this plan. I would like to be among the ambushers, as I have better physical skills than social ones. I think Gelik is well suited to being Bait, as he is small and can bluff.

What, you don't get surprised when someone says Fabio? Wow, you must be really jaded or something. there's nothing wrong with the Barbizan Barbarian. He's SUPPOSED to be better than everything else. The game makes SENSE that way.

I guess if you're willing to sacrifice your roleplaying on the altar of balance, that's your choice, but the rest of us know that if a Hammer is hitting hard, it's also hitting fast, so the rules just make sense.

You guys are all just new***s. I use the Dead Metal, Giantomonicon and Heroes of the Unlikely Supplement rules for all my games. They have way better standard time sequences than what came in 6e.

Keep these coming whenever they happen, please. They're very interesting, as games and as stories. It makes me want to post session info myself, though I think mine are less interesting than yours.

While I do recognize, as a fan, that the OGL is great, and wish my favored 4e had such a protection, I do wonder about one thing. No edition of D&D is really out of play. Out of print, sure, but some fans keep the old things going. how long does that last? We're on decades for the first...

I would definitely vote for this. Anything that makes character approval easier on the judges(and this sounds like it'd be easier all around).

Daunton seized by Joven's Wedding! Following the disappearance of the passenger ship Jenivere, rumors have abounded that joven has selected a new mortal bride. Many now prepare to hold festivities in honor of the supposedly secret nuptials. Here at the Screamer, we have done our homework, and...

I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to lose someone to suicide.

Yeah, I house rule every system at least a little bit(I, too, tend to ban resurrection), but, well, the way I tend to think of it is this. There are two types of house rules. Style house rules, like my dislike of raise dead, and "Fixing a problem" house rules. Style rules tend to be similar...

I have a favorite module that is very badly designed. I don't even know the name of it, but some of my friends and I hold it as tradition to convert it to the current system whenever we start a new campaign. The addy was for 3.5 originally(I think, maybe 3e), and involves rescuing a unicorn...

I do it as a matter of course. Started about 5 years ago when someone in one of my games really ripped the honor system a new one. Been doing it partly out of habit since I stopped playing with him. Often times these days it works the other way, I'll catch players who forget to level up, or...

As Satoshi sees the rock slide away, he can hardly mask his excitement. "Right, then, Dossk, what's down there? Gah, should've known better than to send the strong, silent type in first. Ah, well, then. Nothing else for it. Dossk, watch out!" The deva quickly ties the silversilk rope to a...

Not to nitpick, but Satoshi's initiative bonus is +6, pre-Warlord bonus from Battle Intuition. Checking my sheet, I see Battle Intuition isn't spelled out, so I'm gonna edit that in. Also, I haven't heard from twilsemail, but I know he's in PA, and they're flooding pretty bad. I imagine...
