    Which 13TH AGE logo should we use?

    Thanks! I'm glad I asked. I really like #1, but it doesn't look as good at the actual display size. Agreed. Cheers! Kinak

    Which 13TH AGE logo should we use?

    All three look pretty good. Could you display them at the size they'll be for the tags? Cheers! Kinak

    Pathfinder 1E Is your relationship to monster books (Bestiaries) changing?

    I don't use monster stats out of books anymore, so all I really use the Bestiaries for is the joy of reading them, as a source for ideas, and the pictures as Nightfall mentioned. But I still have all of them, because that's all I've really ever used monster books for, back to 2nd Edition at...

    Pathfinder 1E P5/Beginner Box - Chaining Feats as Prestige Paths (classes)?

    All I can find right now is P6Codex, but that's probably a start :) Cheers! Kinak

    And in 2014?

    Unless Morrus has news I don't, which is certainly possible, the magazines and all content updates are going on indefinite hiatus. People will still be able to pay them for the subscription service, there just won't necessarily receive any new content past that point. Nobody really knows when...

    And in 2014?

    I've been assuming they're launching Next at GenCon with all the fanfare and hullabaloo they can muster. But 2012 and 2013 weren't exactly action-packed on the D&D release front, so it's certainly possible they'll have another slow year. All I'm aware that they have coming out is a bunch of...

    OSR What Has Caused the OSR Revival?

    Hi, I'm nobody! It certainly wasn't unusable, but my group was making fun of THAC0 back when they were still rolling out new 2nd Edition products. But we were also talking seriously about things like the lack of a unified mechanic (half roll-over, some roll-under, and a smattering of random...

    {D&D Settings Tournament} Round 2

    As someone who's played both, it's kind of hard to choose. But, I could convince my group to play in a dozen campaigns on Golarion before I could convince them to do one in Birthright. So I had to go with the one that does more than look good on a shelf. Which isn't going to stop me from...

    D&D 5E (2014) What rules would you like to see come back in 5E?

    I always found the old interrupt mechanic actually made playing a caster more interesting, rather than a pain. It's not just that it's more difficult, it's that low-level spells have a place. My long-running 2e campaign had a ton of magical duels. Low-level spells were both harder to disrupt...

    Pathfinder 1E P5/Beginner Box - Chaining Feats as Prestige Paths (classes)?

    I think they're referring to the system here. I know there are some really good sites for P6, but damned if I can find them right now. My personal stab on it is here, but it hasn't seen actual testing or even proofreading, so take it with a grain of salt. The general idea is just to pull out...

    Pathfinder 1E Advanced Class Guide Playtest Rules

    New arcanist build is up. I can't really speak to balance, because I don't really care, but the flavor is awesome without adding a lot of complexity. I'm sold. Cheers! Kinak

    What is your favorite region within a published setting?

    I haven't used a lot of published settings. I'd probably go with Golarion's Varisia right now, but that's because I'm running a game there right now. It's a good "Points of Light" setting. It does a job at providing a lot of threats for the party to handle without it seeming forced...

    {D&D Settings Tournament} Round 2

    Poor Spelljammer, we knew thee well. And by "knew" I mean "read and never played." But damned if it wasn't awesome. Cheers! Kinak

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the things in D&D Next you don't like?

    What others mentioned: I agree on the humans. I don't really care if it's balanced or unbalanced, it just feels wrong. I can also guarantee we won't be playing the game with its present math. I don't particularly care, but the bonuses remain small enough that they get swallowed by the d20 and...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's Next for D&D's Campaign Settings? (And an idea/suggestion for WotC!)

    I feel like Spelljammer had a lot less setting lore. But that's only really when you compare it to Planescape. Spelljammer still had the crystal sphere books (like Krynnspace), Rock of Bral, Astromundi Cluster, and the novels and so forth. Planescape just had an insane amount of setting...

    D&D 5E (2014) How They Should Do Feats

    Well, that's certainly the best solution for this problem, but small feats cause problems as well. The trade out being only being +1 apparently bothers people, simple large abilities have to be subdivided into smaller more complex components, and the individual choices matter less. Which isn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) How They Should Do Feats

    I don't know, I think there's a much simpler solution than that. -Remove all incidental proficiency gains from feats -Optionally, add those proficiencies as requirements -Put in feats to gain proficiency in those things Granted, the new feats have to be substantially broader than the 3.x...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Q&A 11/22/13

    I'm sad that the concepts from the old playtest sorcerer don't seem to be coming back. It was the only class out of this whole process that really excited me. Cheers! Kinak
