I went with point buy after I came back from 2e (to 4e). I just didn’t want to deal with the hassle of players showing up with a PC that had rolled multiple 18s (sure you did). My rule was rolling in front of each other - but it made for some awkward conversations.

Glad to see that FG is implementing this too bc I’m liking Level Up and how it’s practically packaged as it’s own system like AiME.

So, I've been wanting to get back into playing 4e regularly [edit: this time] on a VTT (Fantasy Grounds in my case) and I've been considering dungeon exploration as an easier "in" so this is beyond a theoretical exercise for me. I'm going to start with a smaller dungeon just to get the kinks out...

I’m not going to comment about what WotC would do. But the Fantasy Grounds VTT for example has the 4e rule set built in (as rules cannot be copyrighted). But one does need to enter in stuff like classes, powers, etc. That’s the laborious part. There’s also a 4e Discord I’d search for (don’t...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Well, I've been eyeing Gubat Banwa for awhile now. At half off, it was a must buy for me!

It’s times like these that make me wish we had a :🤦: reaction. 🤣 just doesn’t quite do it.

I was definitely expressing my personal preference. And Dark Sun still gets some buzz. But making another big tent fantasy setting also faces a lot of competition. Personally, I’m tired of them.

Well, a setting I’d be very interested in is something inspired by Dark Sun using Legend (or RQ-based) rules. I believe there are fan conversions but it would be great if there was an official setting.

I really enjoyed the movie. Not my top (that's Infinity War, Endgame and Winter Soldier, for me) so 4/5 stars. First, the cinematography was just gorgeous. I found acting to be good enough, especially conveying a sense of (often dysfunctional) family dynamics. I'm also intrigued enough to see it...

I don't see this as an either/or proposition. There really is opportunity for both. I first joined online out of necessity. I stay online out of convenience. I'm at the point where I don't see either as superior (from a gaming standpoint), just different. There are tradeoffs associated with...

Pretty sure there's always going to be demand. I've modified 5e on FG to run a bit like 4e, but it's not really the same (nor should it be). I'd really like 4e to be re-released with a OGL or something similar so I can play it on a VTT. Yes, I know there are alternatives out there and many are...

I’m toying around with using a VTT during the F2F games. It makes GMing easier and speeds up play - coupled with the live experience, it should be the best of both worlds.

Excellent article; thanks for writing it. I'm torn about buying the book, since I'll probably just read it once. Might buy and donate it to the local library since I'm sure a few nerds would enjoy reading it. As for some of the spoilers - it's not all surprising unfortunately of issues with...

In the 5e homebrew I ran last year on Fantasy Grounds, languages played a significant factor because one of the PCs (Gensai Warlock) took Eyes of the Rune Keeper. Here's what I did: In FG, you can send messages in a specific language and it automatically translated it to those who understood...

I’ve continued to play online (have a 5e game I’m actually playing in). But I’ve managed to play face-to-face over the summer with friends. I’ll play online exclusively once winter settles in. So convenient!

That’s why I liked Dark Sun bc it gave Arcane power source some flavor (you can defile). IMC, Martial was neutral. Everyone had psionics (a wild talent) but powerful psionics drew the attention of SK and Templars. Divine was non-existent. And Primal, well, I made them the antithesis of Arcane -...

I'm neutral toward Essentials. I liked the AEDU structure found pre-Essentials and Essentials included classes like the Slayer who didn't follow that structure. But I found those classes to be compatible with pre-4e so didn't see any problems. I recall back in the day how some folks saw...

Will there be support for this on Fantasy Grounds?

Clear out goblins - mission accomplished! (5e)
