I consider myself a casual gamer. I enjoy reading message boards, and sometimes, if the mood strikes, I'll post. I only care about two things in my RPGs, is it fun to play and how easily can I twist the mechanics to produce the effects (affects? I can never keep those two straight) that I want...

I think all of this is great news. Wizards seems to be getting itself back on track. They're acknowledging the issues they've been having, or seem to be, and are working to fix them. I'm excited about being able to multiclass into class features. The question is, will it extend beyond the...

As expected as it was, and even though there are any number of options that could've been funnier, I think having Thog as the champion really fits with the D&D campaign style of the comic. The Linear Guild are already recurring villains. It makes sense to use one of their number here.

Ugh. And here I am without cable. I wonder if I'll be able to catch the episodes online. As for the 9/8c, it's what time it'll air in the different time zones.

Certainly and I suspect it was included out of a sense of completeness. Or the thought that if they didn't include it, someone would get upset because they wanted to know the encumbrance of a single arrow. That sounds like it would work well. The only problem I'd see would be tracking things...

They've mentioned the submissions before too, earlier in the year, though I can't recall precisely when. They've also previously mentioned that the magazine content will be going through R&D instead of a separate pipeline. I've never submitted anything before, but maybe I'll see what I can put...

Speaking from experience as an Eagle Scout, there's more to encumbrance than weight. It's like carrying a large, but empty box. Yes, it's light, but it can still be difficult to carry because of its size. Or carrying wilderness supplies in a grain sack instead of a proper backpack. The backpack...

There's going to be another? Now I'll have to go back and see if I've missed any others. I am so out of the loop and I don't read nearly as much as I used to. As for my reading this month, mostly Cisco textbooks. Finals are coming up. For personal enjoyment, I've been meaning to read The Sworn...

This reminds me of the Reverse Dungeon book, I think, second edition. The assumptions they used were a little different, iirc, but it may be a good resource for you to check out if you can find a copy. From what I recall, the book assumed that the adventurer's would be successful. As they...

Not to crush your pessimistic outlook, but there's more than six players who regularly visit UH. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say we have anywhere between fifteen and twenty players. Not all of those players are online a lot, but they do regularly visit. And the site is not being abandoned...

As a note, if you use a one-handed weapon with the versatile property in two-hands, then you gain +1 to damage with it. For example, a longsword is normally 1d8. Since it's a versatile weapon, you can use it in two hands and deal 1d8+1.

I think the phenomenon you're witnessing is the apprehension over what Wizards is doing, because no one knows. In November, they ended support of the stand-alone character builder and announced a change to online tools. The online character builder has seen some bugs. No one really knows if any...

Alright. I'm not entirely sure this where this thread should go, but it seemed as good as any. I'd found a website a few months back that I thought I'd bookmarked. If I did bookmark it, then I don't know where it went. It was a website that had short videos and such regarding the customs of...

A wonderful read. I'd heard about the fight but I wasn't around to be able to watch it. Thank you for posting it. Samm, you deserve credit. For all the years I've played, I can recall only a handful of people as willing to let their characters die as you. This is the third, isn't it? In just...

I'd like to know how you heard both sides, since neither my wife or I have said anything to you about it. And it's not the miscommunication that's the issue. That happens. It's the fact that two people, not even involved with said miscommunication, took it upon myself to verbally assault my wife...

Do you really not care about the fact that one of the players on this site was verbally assaulted and slandered out of character? Or do you just not care because you don't know the individual personally?

Locking the thread won't solve the problem. And I posted because this is an issue for the community as a whole. As long as that sort of behavior continues, as long as the community as a whole allows it to continue, then the site won't get enough new players to stay alive. It will continue this...

Good-bye. I'm sick of this. I'm not putting up with the :):):):):):):)s or the two-faced. That includes you Black Fox. You're the one who started the trouble. You had to stick your nose into the business of other people. It wasn't your place but you did so anyways. Congratulations on being an...

I'm not going to say much. I really don't have much to say. I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to get involved in OOC drama and arguing. I can't say why they attack was ignored. Perhaps the completely missed the post. I've done that before. But I will say this. If my character is...

Alright, I'm looking for a RPG blog, specifically an article I read in one about a month ago. I can't remember which blog it was though. I'm hoping that I can recall enough that someone will know what I'm talking about and point me to it. The article was about location based campaign design...
