maybe WoTC is allowing pathfinder to be the official version of 3.x. Include golarion in D&D worlds, etc. Part of their any version of the game you want to play strategy(assuming that version is not 4e of course, but I'll let that slide before my BP rises further)

I miss the day when modules had multi stats. back in old school super hero days, you'd have V&V and champions stats in same book. Good stuff

Aren't all the 5e APs outsourced to 3rd party vendors with a good track record of adventure writing? Maybe they are annoucing they will be writing the fall AP story for WoTC. Stranger stuff has happened

Really liking 5e right now, but I'd like to add more narrative style options that other more "Indie"(hate this term) games offer. I didn't find the options in the DMG for this all that inspiring. I'm looking for some way to have character aspects have a bigger effect on the mechanics of the game...

There is some really good advice in this thread about conversions in general. I've said this many times in different forums about converting one game to another, "you need to be true to the narrative not the mechanics" This came up a lot in discussions of converting games like Magic:the...

Yeah they could have at least spruced or up with some heading or the like. The public play test documents looked better. and speaking of backgrounds, a few specific background ideas would make this document rock. still confused why these races get get stay bonuses than the phb races

Looks good but am I the only one concerned about the fact that the races are getting 2 + 1 and not a +2 and a +1 like the phb races?

Did this and it works out well. Ran I6 Ravenloft, at 7th level with pregens. It gives the players and you a good taste of what 5e characters can do but not too overwhelming. Unfortunately, because of the apprencticeship levels in 5e (1-2) you don;t get a good sense of actual character power and...

Ok now that we have seen the DMG tactical module and had a few months to grok the system, has anyone given thoughts on how to make 5e closer emulate 4e than it does out of the box? what options would you pick from the DMG? how to handle encounter based resets of spells? anyone working on this...

Prepping a 5e game in Fr right now, and I have spent hours trying to find a synposis of the Sundering to at least know what major events changes. Don't plan on making it the focus of the campaign at all, but i'd like to be able to reference it. Alas after days of searching, all i can find is...

16 pages for demons but only 13 for devils! Conspiracy! WOTC reveals it true colors! Show favoritism in the Blood War! On behalf of Lawful Evil I demand a formal inquiry! /fail 5e /ragequits

Possible Spoiler Text.................................................... There is a leaked version of the phb alpha.(not that I support piracy or nda breaks, well apparently I do in that I read it, but curiosity was killing me... ), but it has a feat that makes you a tavern brawler...

Yes, the terms shift and advantage are not ogl. They aren't usable and are thus infringement. IMO

Not Yet, but I will. Every time there is a new edition or game I am studying I build our previous campaign characters in the new edition, as a way to learn the new rules. It is remarkabley helpful in figuring out the difference from X to Y game systems. Hardest was 3.5 to 4e. Had to really...

This whole conversation is a good example of how why something like Vitality and Wounds should be an option in all editions. If you have a definitive view of luck versus real damage, a system like that breaks down the option to it's purest level. It allows fast healing for continued...

Opening Doors and drawing weapons are exactly what minor actions should be used for. They take away the lameness of wasting a turn opening a door. What they shouldn't be used for is attacks, and spells, except on a rare occasion. It is there that 4e got into trouble. Minor Actions should let...

What game reports? so far as i have been able to find, no one has talk more than a sentence or two about an actual game. Am i missing reports of game play somewhere?

I wrote a pitch for an article like this. Stating up old game Iconics, and maybe even using them as a example for build suggestions on the various archetypes they represent. WoTC stated they weren't interested in digging up the past of the game.... Go figure considering all the marketing speak...

What they should have done is give powers riders based on your domain or when you picked your god you got special bonuses that modify powers you use. Hate to point this out, since I love 4e, but here I think pathfinder gets it right. You should get things that make you more like the god you are...

Not sure if this is the right place, but since all discussions of the business and print side seem to go in here, I figured it was worth a shot. I need to print a foldable poster, one that doesn't lose much or any of the coloring at the folds. Since RPG companies like Wotc and Paizo create great...
