    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    To start with, since the projects so far have been adventures, you don't have to worry about your players having read the adventure. Otherwise, the same thing exclusivity always brings to the table.

    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    And I will note that I have no problems with non-exclusive projects. In fact, I voted to allow the first project to be open to later project subscribers. The fact that it is so exclusive is something I like, but it wasn't mandatory. What I am surprised about is that so many are complaining...

    Shadow source confirmed!

    In fact, at least one published paragon path has the shadow power source (even though it builds off a class with a different power source).

    Adventure Module Pricing and Patronage Projects

    Some patrons paid for the exclusivity. I admit, I am quite happy that I am one of few who have access to Steam & Brass and it worth every single penny of the $10 I paid and more (even with next to no input at the lowest rate for that project). I was involved in every project up to and...

    What do you think of reality-sim players?

    I know what you mean. Extremes of these two different types often cause problems in a game. Not outright conflict, but large sections where one or the other player feels bored. It usually only works well when both recognize it and try to accomadate the other viewpoint in their parts (with the...

    Forked Thread: What game systems have character generators? (focus slightly changed)

    Thinking back, I wrote an NPC generator using BASIC for Top Secret (the original version).

    Forked Thread: What game systems have character generators? (focus slightly changed)

    "Necessary" is such a loaded word. I know that even the most complex systems have people who say they can easily do characters without computers. The key is when they started to make things simple. When did they become "desirable"? I remember a few systems in the early 80's where they were...

    Forked Thread: What game systems have character generators? (focus slightly changed)

    That's two. Are there any others? I am quite surprised that such a versatile tool today has been overlooked as a marketing device. I realize that many game systems don't need such a generator (a simple text document is all that is need for Heroquest, for example). I would expect to see more...

    Forked Thread: What game systems have character generators? (focus slightly changed)

    Seriously, just one when it's "a feature that is mostly available as a free utility/tool with most other roleplaying games." While I was pretty certain he was wrong, i did expect there would be at least a handful out there.

    Is there a list of the 4E artifacts?

    Right now I am house sitting and don't have my Open Grave with me to describe the Silver Mask of Kos. You are correct about the keywords being the slot the magic item occupies. I will also note that the "Heart of Vecna" is mentioned as well. It's not so much an artifact, as something one of...

    Forked Thread: What game systems have character generators? (focus slightly changed)

    Forked from: I have a (somewhat lengthy) confession to make Really? Besides d20 games (primarily through PCGen), I am not aware of any RPGs with free character generators. In fact, I even quit playing Hero Games because they decided to stop supporting their old paid character generator to...

    Is there a list of the 4E artifacts?

    I want to give my players an artifact in my early paragon adventure. Since artifacts don't have any real guidelines for creation yet, I wanted to look at a number of existing artifacts, especially for the early paragon levels. Does anyone know if there is a list of all the currently published...

    Eberron- Siberys Dragonmarks

    The artwork for the Siberys Mark paragon path appeared, and word filtered out that it was cut from the EPG (because it wasn't satisfactory). It was suggested that it might appear in a Dragon article.

    Forked thread: Meta portion of the "Class Acts" bard thread

    I do. However, I do prefer when whoever posts actually comments on the article. It shows they bothered to do the work, rather than rush for the link ;) On the other hand, a designated "post the article" person isn't a bad idea. I know I have been caught in commenting on a cool article, only...

    New RPGA DM with some Questions

    Really? I was under the impression you just logged into the RPGA site with your DCI number. It's the RPGA members who had issues (since their number changed).Here is all I can find, but that issue there seems to be with members who want to combine existing DCI and RPGA numbers.

    Tell me about your favorite game store

    I have two, both run by friends. The first was Between Books. They have been around since the late 70s. It is primarily a bookstore (with a very large fantasy/science fiction section...almost half of the stock). It also is a comic book store, game store and a bit of a "new age" store. The...

    Free RPG day Ebberon Black Ooze escape

    Well, in the OP situation, the invoker is the one engulfed. Given the at will is a ranged attack, there is a major issue there with them being the one engulfed. As an aside, Keith repeats his comments here, and comments on some other parts of the adventure here.

    When and why were the factions driven out of Sigil?

    I'm sure a Planescape expert will reply soon. IIRC, it was in a late module (Faction War?). Also, apparently Monte Cook has gone on the record as saying a later module was going to have them back in, but it never got published.
