    Religeon - requires specific alignment ?

    They're fine by the rules and I don't see why not by the RP, either.

    Is Magic a Setting Element or a Plot Device

    Can anyone name me an empire that wasn't considered evil? At least by some significant demographic?

    [Adventure] Trouble in Daunton (DM: Nebten, Judge: Currently Looking)

    Howler continues in his habit of looking at Vayne closely. It takes him a few moments to finish belaboring Nave and old Scritch and get to it, though. Hanging back a sec, he drops into pace casually beside Vayne. "Spied yer lookin' a touch pale, dove." he says softly. "Ye watertight or we...

    [IC] WD's Dragonfist

    "We will still go, just be careful. Your fists may not help you to defeat a ghost, and in any case, it would be rude to enter their home only to fight them. Manners are important in all dealings."

    I do want 5E (and 6E, and 7E...)

    I want future editions, too. I mean, not just yet. But in the future. I'll admit to being a bit worried that future D&D editions will move away from the 4e I love now, and back toward older conventions I don't like, but each edition usually manages to get at least one thing right that the...

    Upset over incompatible gaming styles?

    A. You might be oversensitive. However, B. There are many people who judge others for having different tastes than they do.

    [IC] WD's Dragonfist

    Song eyes the house suspiciously. He checks the space behind them for a road or trail. "Be careful, everyone. I sense something is amiss. It might be better if we ate from our own packs tonight."

    Harvesting Monster Parts for Arcane Reagents

    I think it depends on what part you want monster hunting to play in the campaign. If you wanted low level monster hunts, but leaving off at high level, link it to XP. But if you want the occasional high level monster hunt to still be worth it to the PCs, go with level. I'd probably go with...

    Religeon - requires specific alignment ?

    I don't think it's clearly laid out, but most groups I have played with assume that you can only gain mechanical benefit from worshiping one god. So, if you worship Kord and Sehanine, for example, you could take Kord feats OR Sehanine feats, but not both.

    Is Magic a Setting Element or a Plot Device

    We have been on about that, but a Magi-tech IR and Eberron are just examples of how it might play out. When I say I want my magic taken into account as a setting element, I don't mean I absolutely need me some trains. Yes and no. You're talking oranges, I'm just talking about liking fruit and...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 DM Considering 4E

    Replace "surge" with "Cast a cure spell" and that could be any edition of D&D. Really, D&D has always had non-sensical resources that restore hit points without dealing with whether a low HP character is effective or not. The difference in 4e is that the devs said, "You know, HP has been...

    Is Magic a Setting Element or a Plot Device

    I am interested in it, though I'm also interested in other ideas. The big thing for me is when you get these world changing effects in the game, and the PC/NPC rules are the same, and maybe even demographics provided so that you know it's not necessarily something that wouldn't have come up...

    Koukonsögur - Saga of the Trollfed Aerie - IC

    Seeing Tuket fly away snaps Satoshi out of his thoughts, and he sprints after the flying goblin, keeping right on Dossk's heels. Double run toward the cliff, (6+2)x2=16 squares, ending behind Dossk. Satoshi Okudaira Male Deva Invoker 1 Initiative: +6 Passive Perception: 19 Passive Insight: 14...

    [Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

    Canus lets out a little laugh. "Good job, boy. You squashed a spider. I usually kill them with a quick slap of my boot, but your oversized bow works, too, I guess. Ta-ta." He gives a little wave as he walks away nonchalantly, slipping into the shadows the remaining spider's sparks cast off...

    What's stopping WOTC from going back to 3.5?

    I've converted 3e addies to 4e. Not a lot of them, but a couple. Usually I just drop or condense some of the smaller encounters. And small, trivial combats can be done in 4e, but you have to come at it a little differently, and you have to intend them to be small, trivial encounters. 4-5...

    Is Magic a Setting Element or a Plot Device

    Yeah, but here's the thing: in a D&D world the magic really does work. The authorities might be keeping it for their use, but it is still working. Even just Wall of Iron, even just in government hands, changes base assumptions about a world. For example, iron production in such a world...

    Autolevelling Items

    The Dark Sun rules are the same as the ones in the DMG2, excepting that the Dark Sun ones add the enhancement bonus in d6s on a crit.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 DM Considering 4E

    Would it be any less realistic than taking 7 swords in the gut and half a dozen arrows in the chest and still being on your feet and at full fighting effectiveness, able to wait calmly until the battle is over and the cleric can healstick you?

    I don't want 5E, I want a definitive D&D (the Monopoly model)

    Well, this is just an anecdote, but since we're going off personal observations anyway... Two or three weeks ago now I was hanging out with one of my friends, who is also one of my players(and a new one, to boot). We were holding the game at his apartment, and as DM I made sure to be early, so...

    What stops WotC from *also* selling 3.5?

    There might be wiggle room to argue about whether printing new content for 3.5 would be viable, or even special editions of the core 3 with new art and flavor text or somesuch. Adventures, too. But a straight reprint of the core 3 would be a terrible move. A quick glance at ebay shows that...
