    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    IMO, there's 2 main reasons why AoOs are accused of slowing games down: 1) The 3.5 AoO have the problem of not been consistent. You have to check a table to make sure if something provokes. IMO, IHs fixes that with a very simplified: So if you know what action you're taking you know whether...

    Supernatural - Second Season

    I know this is a bit of Thread necromancy, but in Chile we get teh show a lot later :D The reason they drive around is that Dean is scared of flying. Explaining all their guns would be difficult, but even when they are extremely time constrained, they tendo to drive (end of last season).

    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    I'd like that approach. (your Intuition idea is intersting and I'd like to know moer) Personally, I feel that they might have merged too many skills, from the previews. But as mentioned by others, I think I'll wait till I know more.

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Chicago Ripper

    "Rooftop is the best place, I think. At least most of the blast will go outside. I'll go with Meredith, the rest take Dikaro down to the car. Use the FBI badges if you have too." With those words, Larry move on, clearing the way for Meredith to follow.

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The Chicago Ripper

    The Doc's bluff had been apparent to Larry. It takes a liar to know a liar. Maybe Larry could do something to help him. "Really Master, we don't need this Cliff. We'll soon have access to all the knowledege from the Institute. Anything he can give us will be useless." Speaking in a subservient...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder's Goblins

    I loved the art, but found the blog entry a bit too cutesy. No matter, throw in some canibalism and you can make anything evil. And those goblins' yellowish teeth look perfect for flesh rending.

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    Well, if they removed the half strength to the offhand bit, I could see them keeping things simple and making both hands take the same penalty. But seriously, I think Moogle has the right of it and it should be +3/+3

    OotS #441

    I started with OOTS pretty early. I think the first strip I read was I think I failed a spot check, which checking now means it was the 3rd one. I think 3.5 was already some months into it, but I'm sure someone else will have a btter memory of the exact start of the OoTS webcomic.

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    That was my first thought as well. A -10 penalty in a system with escalating defenses is tantamount to just saying: you miss! A -4 penalty, without reducing strength in the offhand would have some interesting effect on damage output. Without accounting for crits, TWF would be a better choice...

    OotS #441

    Maybe even more. there's been 441 webcomics so far, and if we go with his 3/week (which is quite generous) we'd have 147 weeks. That's closer to 3 years than it is to 2.... wow

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    I hadn't noticed the claws. :o Still, let me see if I can figure the math: Seems like quite the hefty penalty for 2 atatcks +7 or -3/-3 ...... You don't even have to do the math to realize which one is better these would seem to vastly increase damage (1d8 is a lot for an unarmed strike)

    It's all these new fangled bonuses. In the old days we had THAC0 and we liked it!! Of course it's been a couple of years now so the old Grognard has learned the ropes :D

    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    Exactly. Persuading is persuading is persuading. Everybody does it a different way. Lookign at the Use the Force skill, i could see some sub-categories like intimidate, barter, befirend, etc.. Wookies have the ability to reroll persuasion checks when used to intimdate. They won't be able to...

    Almost as if this was a group of young players just starting to play and Durkon's player is the experienced old Grognard that doesn't want to outshine them. :D

    Star Wars Saga Edition [SECR] Preview #4 is Up

    Nothing much new this time, but a lot of confirmation to our rampant speculation. ;) With respect to Swift Actions: pretty clever mechanic. Jedi probably are going to be able to use them to recharge force powers as well. As a True20 fan, I'm really glad they went with one attack per round...

    Heh, just realized we won't be seeing any more of those "Why doesn't Dungeon run more Eberron adventures" threads anymore.... :p

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    Which was the final reason why I decided to buy Pathfinder. Paizo has always treated me right, and I can see concern for their customers in this thread. :D Besides, I'm still laughing from the time they were snowed in and asked us to decide which of them should go into the cookpot. That's the...
