I would prefer a good, neutral, and evil alignment system. I've never dug the law vs chaos dichotomy. Good vs evil is apropos considering individuals lawfulness vs chaos may fluctuate way to frequent with regard to different situations.

Its not that failure is impossible, but that a manditory chance of failure especially at 5% for a minimum is rediculous. Tasks that can be accomplished routinely or commonly shouldnt need to be rolled for all the time. A locksmith failing 1 in 20 is rather high regardless of the cause...

This is exactly what I mean. You nailed it. A neutral DM makes decisions based upon the most logical and practical choices for the given situation (or random determination if need be), not using meta game knowledge to harass the party. If the game becomes the players versus the DM, it’s no...

The position of the DM is to interpret, adjudicate, and moderate. This is not to say that the players do not matter, on the contrary, the role of the DM requires impartial judgment to resolve situations fairly. Do DMs make mistakes, yes of course they do. The primary difference between a board...

You are correct, but the entire game can be summed up under “you can only win if the DM lets you”. At any time the DM can do anything, so this shouldn’t apply as a specific problem with this combat style. CAW is just as fair as CAS…the DM is the factor where fairness comes into play and...

You are absolutely right... that evokes some great memories of awesome games… and gives me some ideas… :)

Hello all. I have been pondering the concept of a classless fantasy game for some time. Just recently I decided to look seriously into it and is seems to be a popular concept lately. I’m curious about what gamers would like to see in a classless fantasy system. I would like feedback on...

@ForeverSlayer I understand how you are feeling with 4E. When 4E first came out I was enamored with the system. As time progressed, I discovered that my enjoyment of 4E was waning and the system was not as good as I perceived at the onset. I just recently discussed this in a thread...

I want to take a moment and thank everyone for their input so far. This is all very helpfull and It is much apprectiated. Enworld is truely where one can find the best gaming minds. :)

@billd91 You sir have hit the proverbial nail on the head! The issues I have had are not necessarily encounters themselves, but 4E as a whole. I think the Encounter sessions I had been running have really spotlighted the weak points of 4E. Not to mention that the writing is less than par...

I came to the realization during a session of D&D Encounters that I was running. The realization is that for the first time in 29 years…I am not having fun with D&D! This feeling kind of scared the begezus out of me. I have loved every edition of D&D since BECMI and each version more than the...

I think your bags look amazing! I would say that $60 is very fair for such work. In fact, im interested in aquiring one of your bags. Please let me know how to do that.

Hey, this isn't my account, but the owner is in the campaign I am currently orchestrating and brought your post to my attention since we adapted a similar system ourselves for a very similar, but completely homebrew setting. For me, I find simplicity is sexy. I also find CoC's Sanity rules...

Kenku are perfect for a wereraven IMO.

I am curious about real feedback and opinions regarding this change in business. I have been using miniatures in D&D since the mid 80's. I even started using a grid with 1 inch to 5 foot scale before by ‘89. I started collecting Ral Partha led minis in junior high about ‘87. I have a large...

I use DDM with a collection over 7,000 D&D miniatures. I am a very visual DM. I also use dwarven forge, flip mats, and home made scenery learned from my time playing warhammer. DM

In 1984 I started playing D&D during lunch in 5th grade with the red boxed set. My first dungeon i drew was on the back of a paper plate! Then we played AD&D During Jr high and moved to 2nd edition in high school. Ahh the good ole days. Those were a blast!

This is just plain awesome! I remember buying my original red boxed set at Toys R Us in 83. It will be great to see it back on store shelves again.
