    AD&D Publication Timeline -- weird

    I don't remember which book I got first. Probably MM, then PHB, then DMG. But I played a Basic/AD&D game all the way up to 2e. I am sure a lot of people at least mixed the Basic and Advanced modules (thanks for using the proper term in your original post). I never found it to be a problem, of...

    Question about medieval law

    I think it would only work if the 'commoner' was a person of power in the Roman Catholic church and brought charges of heresy or witchcraft against the noble.

    Pathfinder 1E Simplifying Pathfinder for GMs

    There is a google spreadsheet with the core pathfinder monsters. That may help some. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhwDI9kFz9SddGFBN1RBc25yU2syZU5DRktXUkpPanc&hl=en_US#gid=0

    Druid Wildshape questions...

    So, I am thinking of using the Pathfinder Wildshape in my 3.5 game and have some questions... 1) So, you keep all your ability scores? 2) What happens to your equipment? Does it meld and is it then still 'active'? 3) Do you gain the natural attacks of said creature? It seems like you would...

    Closing the Rotating Door of Death

    I let the player who lost the character and is creating a new one choose... Dead Characters gear kept by the 'party' - then new character starts at NPC gold. dead character gear not kept by party - then new character starts at PC gold wealth Whichever is chosen we come up with an in game rational.

    Pathfinder 1E The good man WotC and the scoundrel Paizo

    That's funny 'money grabbing' and 'rpg company' in the same sentence. Neither company makes a lot of money off D&D or Pathfinder. Employees of Paizo would probably make more money if the company was incorporated as a non-profit.

    Rolling way too many dice

    You can figure out the odds of each value, then roll percentiles or even d1000 and lookup the result in your chart.

    Choosing the best system for a homebrew space opera campaign

    I havn't looked closely at Traveller d20, but I know the original Traveller could be used for what you have in mind.

    How To Resurrect D&D Miniatures

    I think sales dropped for a combination of reasons... 1) economy 2) saturation 3) Cancelation/changing of DDM 4) 4e (split the D&D community, so all those funky 4e monsters they made were not desirable to those that stuck with 3.5e) I am not sure how they can be successful with re-introducing...

    Sorcerer Spell Lists

    I think you could just allow a sorcerer to chose from any spell list.

    Would you be interested in a 3e / 4e hybrid (evolution)?

    eh, what you described would not be what I would be interested in. I have no interest in FR so whatever on that front. As for 3.x, I'd like to see a fix to some higher level combat (so it moves quicker), a fix to the christmas tree, and the layered buffs. Not sure how it could be done so I...

    DDM Line Axed

    Disapointed I am. Surprised I am not. I have a lot of minis. But WOTC really stopped making 'new' ones. They should have strived to make every PC race/sex/armor/weapon/shield combo. But instead 1/2 their minis are dudes with swords. Hopefully they'll bring the minis line back when 5e comes...

    Expected PC stats/magic items by level?

    I am not really familiar with Pathfinder. So the following applies only if Pathfinder uses the same XP award machanic that 3.4 does. Keep in mind that for a larger party the XPs will be divided out and each PC will get less XP. The effect is that if you are using a large adventure or an...

    Why I don't like alignment in fantasy RPGs

    I'd like to back pedal a bit.... My above comments hold for _most_ campaigns and certainly the following campaign settings (as I read them) Greyhawk, FR, Eberron, Dark Sun... However, there could be a campaign where the gods strip a character of their 'god granted' powers. However, this would...

    Why I don't like alignment in fantasy RPGs

    All of that's fine. But I see no reason why the DM needs to 'get involved' here. Why does the DM need to have a 'very good understanding of why such a thing is happening'? Whats the benefit? IMO just let the player role-play as they see fit, no need to 'check' there behavior against some...
