Rolling for the win, because that's how our fore-bearers did it. And it was wise and we saw the truth in how they did it. We usually roll 7 times 4D6, ditch the lowest score and ignore a 3 or 4.

for 15 bucks only? Nice deal indeed. The collector market seems to be down more or less at the moment. 5 years ago such a price would have been a real steal.

That thing has such a Harryhausen vibe it's just freakin' awesome.

Who'd have known that saving money would cost such alot of it....

Yeah well, one is primarily a slashing weapon while the other is usually used as a thrusting weapon with the option of being a slashing weapon if the opponent is not heavily armed.

A friend of mine does Iaido since 20+ years and I was on tournaments with him once or twice. From what I've seen there, and I am no expert by any stretch, is that attacks and parries with the katana are frequently done with both hands used since the grip is long enough to support this technique...

I think that a lot of the distaste towards FR and Elminster (and I am not an FR fan myself) also come from the fact that the Realms were the main setting for TSR/WotC during a period where the quality of adventure modules and setting accessories was in average mediocre at best in numerous cases...

I am just not sure how many more stretch goals we will see on this kickstarter. It feels like the saturation is already very high on this one. Though I really would not mind another goal with PF minis :D

I got the feeling he was actually a tad hesitant to go too deep in to the wizard class just because of that, same as with the rogue due to the backstab/sneak attack issue.

Wizard: "I am sitting here for 20 years devouring arcane tomes and books, learning all the infinite intricacies of the Art and you come around the corner, make some funky deal with some planar hoochycoochy and get spells for free. Get off my lawn you cheap *******!" "And you over there, just...

In the last few weeks the site got slower and slower for me, escpecially in the evening hours (CET). Loading takes about 10+ seconds if not more. Are we approaching the dreaded bottleneck again or is there an ogre sitting on my internet line?

I fail to see the issue that there is no modularity. You have the meta class "caster class type" and then you have different choices, call them modules if you want to, from where you can choose how the caster should be played based on your very own taste and and playstyle. I can live with that...

I didn't see that much in the fighter as well but I've just listened through the latest Penny Arcade D&D Next podcast and suddenly I find the fighter just a freekin' cool thing. Perhaps I am just such a tool for everything coming from PA's D&D stuff :o Perhaps it's also just good advertising on...

Yep, I have Sketchbook Pro and Painter installed on my Slate as well. It's just great to start a sketch on the tablet and then continue the drawing on the desktop later on with the Cintiq.

Sorry I was not clear on this but I am not running Windows 8 on my Slate. I have Win 7 installed so it is working like on a standard PC just that you have touch input and/or a pen to draw/write. Of course when I need to write a lot of text I use the bluetooth keyboard and the docking stand...

I would already be totally OK with a documentary/report about those 4 days of gaming madness at GenCon. Even this alone could make for a packed 45 minutes of viewing goodness.

I can't speak for the US but over here it is not preconceived notions that are the issue but the fact that D&D is just not that well know outside of a more or less small caste of board gamers. Heck, even folks that play stuff like Warhammer are often not aware that something like D&D even...

I think there are cheaper alternatives from Asus (I think it's called the eeSlate or somesuch). I did not go for that one because I am using my Slate as a sketchbook for drawing/painting on the tablet as well and since the Samsung has a Wacom digitizer that was the first choice for me. But the...

If you make a doc about GenCon then GenCon is used as a vessel to initally explain what the hobby is about. You see this in a lot of documentaries that use an event to explain the concept of something and then go deep by expanding the focus left and right by going further with interviews...
