Nice call :) I once played in a game where this happened regularly (getting snowed in that is, not spring not happing!) - our characters would just eat, drink, get some stuff down and spend our money for a few months, before the snow melted and the PCs would pick up on where they'd left off...

It's a DM call really. The RAW assumes that the team is pulling together, so hence everyone gains xp, but if a PC is just turning up and doing nothing then I'd wait to see what the other players did and would even encourage some in game conversation on the matter, where it might be more easily...

I wouldn't worry about it too much, as long as the other players are happy with it and it fits in with your game. Some campaigns often have extended breaks like this. You don't need to roleplay them, just take a session out to do the book-keeping, see what everyone wants to buy/sell/craft/etc...

I grabbed a copy. I've always thought of giving Traveller a go, so this seems like a very good way of going about that :) I've never played before, so how long do you think (in terms of actual gaming hours) it would take (for an inexperienced group) to run this?

Both are running fine for me right now.

I check out the paizo forums often enough, but like others have said I'm not a fan of the layout. If they implemented a more standard format (ie phpbb or vbulletin or somesuch), then I think they'd be a lot more popular. Having said that, the paizo site has been slow for as long as I can...

Feel free to come over to my forums for 3ed chat. It's been a bit quiet over there for a while, so I'm happy for folks to hijak it and move it forward as they like. I'd also be happy to host reviews, conversions, etc. Anyway, just a thought.

We have a player in our group who has a blinkdog cohort, with levels in fighter and rogue. Very difficult to hit, gets to use its sneak attack, and is very nimble. Of course, we're only at around 10th level, so I've no idea how it would work out at higher levels. Much fun, though.

I think the true success or failure of the OGL will be how it stands up now that it is no longer officially supported by WotC (or, if you prefer, now WotC have washed their hands of it). There have already been a raft of excellent stand alone products produced using the OGL and with Pathfinder...

My guess would be that they will not answer any questions on The GSL. Period. As has already been mentioned, there are legal implications attached to any answers they give, and I would imagine they would not answer legal questions under any circumstances, leaving that to the legal department...

Depends on what you're planning to run and at what level. At low levels, fighters are a good way for getting inexperienced players into the game, and an arcane spellcaster of some kind is normally required. Warlocks are pretty cool and can be fun to play too. Rogues can find certain types of...

As soon as I heard that there would be no backward compatibilty with the OGL I decided that The Kyngdoms wouldn't be shifting to 4ed and neither would I. That coupled with the termination clause has confirmed my worst fears. Of course, what I do is neither here or there to anyone else, but...

For those who are interested in remaining with 3ed, feel free to come over to our forums and help create a place where like-minded people can chat about 3ed D&D. It's a bit slow over there right now, so I see no reason why it couldn't be used to create a community of our own. The Kyngdoms will...

There's another option missing: I own the books and have played it, but I'll be sticking with 3.5 - which is where I'm presently at. 4ed is ok, but did not rock my socks. I'll play it again, probably at convensions, but will otherwise continue with my 3.5 campaign, which is likely to take...

Many thanks to you. Muchos gracious :)

Could one of the moderators kindly change my name from Red Moon Games to The Kyngdoms, please :) Many thanks!

Here's the relevant section from the DMG (p 37): and... This is, of course, a bit vague. Obviously, we can say that the moody swashbuckler who was upset at being insulted by the gruff dwarf and decided to sit out the combat in a sulk does not get any xp. But what about the wizard who steps...

Some good points made above about the use of the term 'switching'. So, to add, if you're intending to play 4ed but not actually giving up the games you're currently playing, just tick the option for the game(s) you're playing and add a post to explain that. If you're taking up 4ed and are not...

I'm just curious to see what folks who intend to switch to 4ed are currently playing. Since I can't include every game, I've just given the main d&d options. If you play another game and are switching, please just choose one of the 'other' options and let us know what you're switching from...

Sounds like fun :) I don't see the difference between what you're proposing and enhancing sling stones - except size, of course! You'll need to get the stone specially crafted for masterwork quality (which, as both a large and an usual weapon, I'd probably charge more for if I were the DM)...
