    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    Forgot to say I would play 3e (d20 games) again if invited. But I would not want to GM a game. This is the only other edition, with 5e, that I would play.

    Communication as an Attribute

    Let me rephrase: If your character ingest poison (hazard/effect) he will do a Save VS Constitution. What Hazards or Effects would provoke a Save VS Communication for your character? Being drunk. Under influence are two I come with*. For exemple, they would make any attempt at seduction less...

    Communication as an Attribute

    Communication is the only Attribute that handles social interactions (no charisma, wisdom).

    Communication as an Attribute

    It's a sci-fi game. Attribute scores are added to a skill score to create a Target Number. Or used by themselves as a save against harmful attacks. The communication attribute is used for verbal actions. It is not related to the use of communication equipment.

    Communication as an Attribute

    So in a RPG I own, doesn't matter which one, Communication is an Attribute. All fine and good. Now, it's easy to understand how to use it. On the other hand I'm trying to come up with hazards and effects that could force a Communication Save (penalty) against that attribute. Any ideas? (edit)...

    Look Inside Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Soulbound

    I'm worried a bit by the price point. GW products are usually not cheap. Hopefully they will do a free QuickStart pdf.

    D&D 3.x Edition Experience - Did/Do you Play 3rd Edtion D&D? How Was/Is it?

    I received this edition as a breath of fresh air, at first. Played a few D&D campaigns but got tired of all the «bonus hunting», «cherry picking» of feats and «level dipping». Despite the clarity of the design decisions made for 3e I felt this was no longer D&D. But I kept playing d20 games...

    D&D 5E (2014) With the release of each new setting book, the SCAG looks worse and worse...

    Older settings are a trap for current designers, even if they are fans. The backlash can be very violent when the time line progresses not to the liking of the fan base. Besides all the old books are available on Drivethru RPG. I'm not interested in buying books that have 70% of rehashed...

    PunkApocalyptic The RPG

    Currenlty at a discount on DriveThru. Based on the same system as Shadow of the Demon Lord. This could be the post-apoc game I was looking for. Currently reading it. Have you played it yet? https://schwalbentertainment.com/2020/02/24/3296/

    VTT have affected my purchasing habits. You?

    Thanks. Works really well. We did two 3-hour sessions. I trust players to do the dice rolls manually. One guy uses a dice roller but I don't insist on it. I looked at Roll20. I just don't want to spend time pre-game to draw and import stuff for the game. I spend that time thinking about the...

    VTT have affected my purchasing habits. You?

    No change to buying habits of RPGs. VTT compatibility is not a criteria for me. I still use a Chessex mat and erasable pen with miniatures with Skype. I won't invest time learning VTT apps because as soon as things get back to normal we will play face-to-face. We play rpgs to get away from the...
