    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    I don't want to put words in your mouth (!) but it sounds like you're saying if I don't want to be called a grumpy drunk, I have to stop roleplaying wrong? Yowch! And as for you, on behalf of round-headed kids everywhere, your blatant antimacroencephalitism has been noted. If this outrage is...

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    Please don't launch broadsides like that. Show some respect for your fellow gamers. I happen to really enjoy roleplaying dwarves-- preferably in as shallow and cliche a way as possible-- and I very, very deeply and sincerely self-identify with them. I am offended by the continued negative...

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    Aww, sure it was. Well... when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that squeals is usually the one you hit. But what do I know? I'm just a grumpy drunk.

    "You're a half elf? Really?" From the P.A. Podcasts

    Because most of the players who really enjoy roleplaying extrahuman, aloof, arrogant, mysterious, immortal (and ostentatious) beings are off playing Masquerade.

    One Bad Egg going dark

    Wow. I wasn't aware that One Bad Egg was comprised of more writers than Justin Jacobsen, but that is one talented list of writers there.

    Why I'm done with 4e

    It's as if the relative hardness of objects was relevant. Never give your prisoners a piece of chalk to mark the days... they'll just use it to dig through the mortar.

    [Weekend Design] New Classes?

    Not for more classes, I won't. I'll post them for free somewhere. There's another thread on that topic in this forum (but you won't find a solid answer there either). :p We'll get there when we get there! Now you kids keep quiet or I will turn this car around.

    [Feedback] Trailblazer Character Sheet

    *sigh* I know, I know. As I said, I realize we all have our different preferences on character sheets. For example, I personally don't need any of that poncy "character background and motivations" stuff, and could really use one with just a big empty space in one corner to set my beer without...

    Which magic item would you want most?

    It regenerates lost limbs and organs, per RAW. That's not small potatoes. Screw the Everful Purse, I'll make a fortune as an organ donor.

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    I am not sure I understand your confusion. As for 4e, I have my own opinions on why it was not well-received by some folks, and it isn't solely or even primarily the mechanics (except insofar as the mechanics affected the flavor). Trailblazer is not perfectly backwards compatible-- certainly...

    Which magic item would you want most?

    No votes for a ring of regeneration? Sheesh, I'll take that.

    [Feedback] Trailblazer Character Sheet

    (attached) With the mutual understanding that everybody wants a little something different out of their character sheet, I'm posting this looking for usability feedback.

    Trailblazer Hard Copy

    My old friend and original layout guru, Brad Kelley, is working on it now. Since his price can't be beat, he has a lot of leeway with regards to schedule. :lol: Errata, typos, reworked layout, lots of clarifications, and additions (including a whole chapter). We'll update the PDF when the...

    [Weekend Design] New Classes?

    Generally speaking, folks are ok with the "half class" having abilities that are wholly unique to that class (as opposed to merely a blend)?

    Which magic item would you want most?

    What you need is a Portable Hole.

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    I think 50% will prove too low through low and mid levels. Can I bargain you into 50 points or 50%, whichever is greater?

    On the marketing of 4E

    Uhh, ditto. Big time. But I think perhaps the perception is that the ability and the encouragement to transcend that core gameplay was better supported in prior editions. You will get no argument from me that 4e has distilled the essence of that core gameplay and does it better than any...

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    It's early and pre-coffee, but I think you have it exactly right. Too late to change that for print (we're in pre-flight already) but I'll note it to keep the PDF updated. Well, I don't think so. YMMV. Massive damage = Dying works just fine. Many folks have been doing that for years...

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    UK's method averages the value of a feat across 20 levels; ergo 0.2 per feat becomes 0.01 per feat (or class feature). Clearly, 1 feat (0.2) is worth more proportionally at 1st level than it is at 20th level. I've seen some criticisms of Trailblazer on this count in various venues, as if I was...

    TRAILBLAZER - PDF Release - Discussion/Questions/Errata

    I think so. It creates a "false choice." Regarding your math-- giving you the benefit of the doubt on whether the comparison is valid or not-- the total addition in spell levels would be: 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45 This would bring the wizard's spellcasting value up to 0.51, an increase of 0.10...
