In my limited experience, far more characters made it through the Tomb of Horrors than didn't because they were played in a more realistic manner than "let's stick my finger in the mouth and see what happens." People weened on 2e and up will be much more likely to get slaughtered. The players...

The front page looks good now. Hope the work is going smoothly for you Morrus.

I see that the front page is a work in progress, though I have to chime in with my thoughts and concerns. Is the front page going to continue to force me to scroll right to access the message boards. I am running at 1280 x 1024? Does the D&D Insider Update really belong in the upper left near...

On a tangent, Final Fantasy 1 has to be one of my more favorite RPGs for consoles/handhelds. I still play all of the versions I have except one--NES. Losing an attack because someone else killed the monster resulted in the game becoming more about mathematical calculations to determine the...

Has her husband (or SO) played with her one-on-one or taught her any of the rules?

If i remember correctly, you are talking about regaining up to 3 hit points per day of rest. Any way, it sure does keep down the "levels 1 to 20 in a month" problem some gamers have.

First off, your home game doesn't matter with regards to my point. The only things that matter are the game assumptions that are brought to each individual table, whether they are at home, pick-up games/game days, or conventions. If we gamed together on a regular basis, then I would expect that...

I don't play 4e, but one of its clear selling points to me is that the rule system does not vary much from table to table. Its "everything is core" philosophy, reliance of some on the CB, and minimal 3pp options, keep everyone on the same playing field. Very similar in my opinion and experience...

Seriously, I have to spread XP around before giving it mearls again. I'll make this short and sweet then let you get back to the congrats. Your first few paragraphs that I quoted above express very clearly how I feel about this new edition. You clearly understand why there are problems in our...

Made my saving throw, congrats Mike.

crappy players = crappy game regardless of rule system 'nough said.

No problem, glad I could help.

Hexes have their roots in wargaming from which D&D derived, and tradition holds heavy sway in our hobby. But from a more scientific view, if I am not mistaken, hexes are the geometric forms with the most sides that exist that allow entering directly into another. For example, I toyed with an...

There was a discussion in the Software forum a while back. You might find some info there. BTW, I have heard good things about MS One Note that some were using.

See the map I am using in the following post http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/276769-cantgetmymaprightitis.html#post5182485

BTW, one of the reasons I have the chance for encounter so high is because this is for a wilderness hex crawl and I think it is more fun to have more encounters. The percentages seem to set one random encounter per day regardless of terrain (6 grassland [1 in 6 x6, 4 forest/hills [2 in 6 x 4]...

It's from the Mentzer blue book from 1983 from the 5 box BECMI set on pg. 42. Similar information can be found on pp. 124-125 of the Labyrinth Lord PDF which can be downloaded for free from Goblinoid Games. 3.5e has the chance of a random wilderness encounter on pg. 95 based on the civilization...

After a quick read it has most (if not all) of the things I like in adventures namely: 1: It's short, 40 keyed entries. Originally designed for a 4 hour session. 2: I love first room puzzles! Well the best is the third keyed area. 3: Trap monsters all over the place. I like adventures that task...

I bet if you were to put up an example of a map you were not happy with, most would either like it or offer constructive criticism. I'll go first... EDIT: Scale of the map is 3 miles/hex and is 45 miles wide and 51 miles long

Spot on in my opinion. BTW, I must spread XP around. :(
