    Comfort withcross gender characters based on your gender

    I agree, but I think there could be many burnt kids in this room. Like, players who have seen very bad examples of cross-gender character play and who don't want any of this in their game. Thing is that cross-gender play isn't the reason for such obnoxious play, but rather too little...

    Comfort withcross gender characters based on your gender

    Being a GM basically requires you to portray people, monsters and anything inbetween of all varying alignments, backgrounds and cultures. So I'm totally comfortable with playing male characters. I also played some as PCs, but never for too long (the campaigns with them simply ended...

    D&D 5E (2014) Witness The Mighty And Terrible Face Of War In A World Of Magic!

    yeah, having no real PF version is quite unfortunate, especially since I DM the campaign for PF as well. But the 3.5 version can be converted without too much of a hassle as long as your players don't do ridiculous optimization. Most of the used monsters are in the PFSRD and the monster DB...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    Enter Fordren Shortly after, we both receive an invitation to Vantrys' engagement party. So we both dress up in our finest evening gown and suit and take a carriage to the estate. Once we arrive there, we are both pretty surprised to see a fancy carriage parking there bearing the Fordren...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    Wah, now you've stirred my interest even more! I hope there is. There has been a kickstarter for the Good Society RPG which is trying to capture the spirit of Jane Austen's regency era novels. It isn't out yet, but I backed it and am totally intrigued about the system. One would only need to...

    ZEITGEIST Tizbiz Zeitgeist Campaign

    Looming shadows When we return to the RHC, we take the rest of the day to read through all files that could be relevant to the recent Kell guild activities. As the sun sets, Carlyle says that he'll try to contact Cippiano or some other Familia officer to collect more information about the...

    Magic Weapons

    That sounds quite interesting indeed! Now I guess (but that's just my gut feeling) that you could make this add simply a flat cost to the weapon, like with some armor enchants in Pathfinder. Mainly because while the effect can be powerful, it doesn't add much to the weapon's raw combat power...

    sure, I love this forum :) Edit: And thanks ;)

    Getting to 6 encounters in a day

    You don't get what I meant, do you? With my reply I directly commented on your dismissive tone towards me, who was simply making a constructive suggestion based upon my perception of other threads (and replies in *this very same thread*) regarding groups and their playstyle. Take a look at this...

    Getting to 6 encounters in a day

    you sound like a very bitter and/or determined 5th edition warrior if you try to tell anyone not playing 6 enounters/day that they are playing the wrong game. Very inclusive, indeed. But I guess I just hopped onto the wrong thread and will leave asap. I don't feel welcome here. PS: I never...

    Getting to 6 encounters in a day

    It still works, sure. But as long as there are classes with daily ressources and classes who spam at-will abilities, there will be balance problems. Not that everyone minds imbalance. But I am really not a fan of quadratic wizards or nova play. Still I am a fan of D&D. From our group's...

    Getting to 6 encounters in a day

    Ideally, the game would be designed and balanced to allow any kind of encounter number from zero to 10 (or more) on an adventuring day. Which most likely means "encounter-based, quickly repleneshing resources" other than maybe HP. Because when I read the thread's title, I immediately thought...

    D&D 5E (2014) Witness The Mighty And Terrible Face Of War In A World Of Magic!

    I think I saw someone tweaking it for FR and it was centered around Thay/Rashemen. However, I don't think it necessarily requires a parent setting as there is much established lore and regional history in the adventures and guides and the campaign is designed for level 3-20 anyway. What the...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    long story short: Even the most well-meaning of people are often not aware of their own biases. I also don't think anyone applied *active* racism or misogyny when creating the D&D drow. They just created them based on their own assumptions, spiced up with imagery they liked. And also, there...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Me too. But that's easily said as a white woman from europe and I would rather see how black people think about the drow than to make a hasty judgment. (Especially if all other fairer-skinned elves lean towards the good alignments, so the "they are not human" argument only works so far.) And...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Nah, "annoying" is just fine to keep. The problem is that there might be people (especially those who are socially handicapped) who don't understand that they are being annoying. For example, as a child I regularly busted card-playing sessions of strangers at the beach. I ran around them...

    Looking At The Pathfinder 2 Wizard Class

    Yeah, I read the cantrips at being prepared, but then used at-will, just like it is in PF1. The only difference is that they automatically scale up to your highest spell level. Hope this means that we'll see more variance in cantrips in PF2.

    A growing city Healthy indeed, but that doesn't mean they both know what they truly want :) --- Session 24 After Auryn saying 'good night', Carlyle spends a few moments on his balcony to contemplate. In the warm night breeze, he suddenly realizes two new buildings that certainly weren't there...

    Rhuarc Knightsbane, kingslayer The group finds themselves in what appears to be a long-stretched grotto, marked with ancient Taranesti and Droalesti carvings. Cuin'halar takes a few moments to examine the symbols and then explains that these are old signs of Demetria and the other elven gods...
