    Do you read non-RPG fantasy novels?

    Exclusive to the non-rpg related side now days, although I used to read the Battletech and Shadowrun novels back when FASA still existed.

    Disappointing Trends in Movies

    I have to agree about kids in inappropriate movies or just misparented/loud kids in movies in general. For me it is often worth the drive to make it to one of the ArcLight Theatres 21+ showings of a film just for that reason.

    How long do your gaming sessions last?

    It would also be interesting to get an idea of how much of the session time is spent in actual play. For example my group gets together around 7ish but usu. doesn't settle down to serious dice rolling until after 8, so the session is 5-6 hours but the actual play time is closer to 4+.

    D&D 4E The Daily "4e is Coming! Theory" Thread

    Yeah, it's at the printers and they have skipped playtesting and the only dev credit appears to be Andy. Wait that was last weeks rumor... Sorry I am out of date. ;)

    Whole lotta lurkin' goin' on

    I would never have thought that my modest post count would actually put me in the top 10%. I guess I am more chatty than I thought. :D

    What are everyones thoughts on Iron Heroes?

    The idea of having the type of interesting/complex options of a spell-caster that I usually play but in a melee type is one of the main draws of IH for me, that and a lesser reliance on magic items. I almost never play pure fighter types as they become boring in combat after long and...

    What are everyones thoughts on Iron Heroes?

    It looks like it has a lot of potential. I have it pre-ordered since it is from Mearls/Malhavoc. I am hoping it will be a good potential system for a modified Game of Thrones campaign.

    Combat Brute and Shock Trooper interaction?

    Of course the funny thing is, at least by how I read it, you could indeed zig-zag with an opponent. Pushing them back 5 and to the left then back another 5 and to the right, of course it still ends up being 10' back in the end. hmmmm...... Also you can see where my indescision lays as I have...

    Keen or another +1 ? Math Help Please...

    I know there are better number crunchers around here than me but I will give it a shot: Let's assume AC 22 as the average of your range. Average damage one handed versus evil opponents: 17.5 two-handed 19.5 assuming no crits Current chance to hit with first attack 55% with second 30% Current...

    Combat Brute and Shock Trooper interaction?

    Ok, both these feats are from Complete Warrior. The area I have a question about is the first advantage under Combat Brute which states: "Advancing Blows: To use this maneuver you must make a successfully bull rush attempt against a foe. During the next round, all your attacks against that foe...

    Hasbro 2Q results

    So I know we have been through this in years past but does anyone have an idea of how much of that 13mil WoTC products cover? I presume a small minority.

    Pathfinder 1E Painted Paizo Mini Pics & New Sculpts Available

    The sculpts looks great and I love the idea overall. The only reservation I have is it seems, to me, that having bare metal minis I have to paint in a set designed to allow a DM to "quickly and efficiently" run a game is counter productive. Maybe other DM's out there paint really fast and...

    Elves - Love em or Hate em?

    Personally I just find it hard to get into the almost immortal mindset of Elves. It is difficult for me to figure why I am going to go crawl down into a dangerous hole to risk my life for gold and material gain when if I just stay at home in the forest I can live for a thousand years. I guess...

    Where did you find your first groups?

    Always school for me. First around 4th grade, then a different group for high-school that I have continue to play with for some 15+ years. Of course back when I was buying the advanced books they were sold in Toys R Us.

    Favorite Casting?

    Lets see in the past few years: A nordic barb/cleric of thor is a historically oriented campaign, mainly enhancement magic and a big two handed hammer. Went with his heart and paid his honor debts with his life. A dwarven fire mage. Irrascible and power hungry but never singed the party too...

    For DMs: Ticked off players and funky d20's

    I would just ask him to ink them in a good contrasting color so the +'s were clearly visible or better yet one color for the low 0-9 and one color for the high 0-9. If he is not willing to do that to use his favorite dice then he most likely is fudging his rolls.

    Natural Bond [CAdv] and Alternative Animal Companions

    Interesting idea. I had always though of it as more of catch up skill for multi-classed druids and rangers. It makes for some very tough animal companions with a straight druid. Not that it matters from a rules stand-point but would this allow the animals to have more HD than the Druid himself...
