My reaction as a player is a) can the ritual be reversed (most players are going to explore this avenue because until it goes boom, most people will try everything to stop or mitigate it.)? Be aware that most players are NOT likely to accept the 'you can't do anything to stop this' until...

Hi Ben. PM sent to you.

Pathfinder will last. The core rule beta download had over 50,000 downloads. Of course, one can't infer anything really from that (such as how many actual bought the corebook and are playing Pathfinder rules) but the number is not insignificant. The hard cover core rules was sold out days...

Another aspect to consider is how your players feel about playing through modules without leveling. Almost all players I have had (and I have had many over 35 years of playing) are 'level chasers'. Meaning, they look forward to leveling their characters. Every session, there is usually some...

Rise of the Runelords - Eberron Sandpoint becomes a costal town near Stormreach, Magnimar becomes Stormreach. Other locations in the AP become locations interior of Xen'Drik with Xin Shalast being the most inaccessible mountainous region on Xen'Drik Rise of the Runelords - Faerun Sandpoint...

Premium Full Subscription is $125 up front. Advantage: The 'free' hardcover will be signed for all the premium subscribers. Less overall money than any of the other options but as indicated, it is all up front. Normal Subscription is pay as you go monthly but you need to be on board for the...

I like the campaign in general. Like all adventure paths which are written by multiple people, some adventures are better than others but overall, for WotBS, the quality of the adventures are quite good. Adapting to the FR will be a huge problem due to the premise of the campaign, especially a...

You can't railroad a willing person in my opinion. Railroading is the deliberate act of limiting or eliminating choices and the players knowing that their choices are being curtailed or that their choices, whatever they are, lead to the same point. The willing person who is following the...

Unfortuately, my DMs consider me a 'problem' player. Not because of table behaviors, badwrongfun points of view, my attitude or anything. Rather, if the DMs don't have multi-layer intrigues, I can unravel the adventure as to what is really going on in short order. If the DM is setting us up...

If asking him to leave is not a option (yet...), then you need to stop feeding the troll. His sulking or rants is trying to elicit sympathy or some other response and his continuing to sulk and rant means he is getting some payoff from it (such as, if I am not having a good time, no one else...

I scored the whiteboard with a awl point (a razor knife might work but might be too thin a score line). Then I traced the score lines with black grease pencil and then buffed the board. It removes the grease pencil at surface level but leaves it in the score mark. It takes some work to do...

Then he is not likely to enjoy 4e, regardless of the number of supplements that will come over the lifetime of 4e. But then, noone should be forcing him to play 4e so he should be able to enjoy playing in a 3.x game. I have players who like 4e and I have players who loath it. I have several...

We play on a 8 x 4 sheet of plywood on carpentry frames. The plywood has a 8 x 4 whiteboard on it with permanent scribed 1" squares, making it in essence, a 8 x 4 ft battlemat for eraseable markers. Since it is tucked away in the corner of the finished basement, everything can be left on it...

In every edition of D&D in the poll, I've been in games which at least one or more characaters went from 1st level to 30th level or higher

Technically, you don't need a special module for player vs player. Almost any module can do. You just have the different player groups be competition to each other in the race to win the McGuffin, rescue the princess, kill the dragon, or whatever the purpose of the module is. That said...

I think what they are trying to say is that the players are not as invested in beginning characters. You can be attached to your character from the get go but your level of investment in the character is very low starting out. It is through gameplay, the storyline, the interaction with the...

It can work. The DM is giving you a blank palette to make your characters backgrounds and he will fill in the rest. In your character background, you can say your character is the unacknowledged bastard son of Duke Wingding, the local lord of Medina province and that you live in Windingoham, a...

Lots of points. Smaller vessels (you mentioned the two opposing ships were larger) usually are faster, have shallower drafts and are more maneuverable if they are the same class (you are not comparing schooners to longboats, for example). Which means in general, the smaller vessel can outrun...

Undecided. My feelling right now is the DDI is alot like Buckley's cough syrup. You hope that you feel better in the long run after taking it but taking those spoonfuls to get to that point is a bloody awful experience.
