    D&D 4E What would make you decide against 4e?

    true...it was targeted at teens...at least according to the ESRB Rating: Teen. So Final Fantasy is ok. Most of my games are too complex and border on soap operas. They span decades. One game has been running since the early 80s. We play it mostly via email now as most of the original...

    D&D 4E What would make you decide against 4e?

    I wouldn't switch to 4e if it became a boardgame or so much like a boardgame that imagination took a back seat. So far I think I can fix any of the fluff that they change. if spells only did damage, I would not switch to 4e. if they made the target market 4-12 year old video gamers, I...

    The Tyranny of Good (aka The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intensions)

    As long as the LNs who wrote the laws or are enforcing the laws have a good explanation for their actions, I'm sure you can have a fairly tyrannical government. Plenty of societies use fear as a means to do all sorts of acts in the name of Justice and Good. This won't spoil the plot in the...

    Favorite 3.5 book

    WotC: #1 Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss #2 Heroes of Horror Honorable mention: Tome of Magic - If the rules had been up to the fluff, I'd include it with the two above. Monte Cook: Ptolus - best campaign setting!

    Adventure Paths (AoW & ST AP) Hardcovers

    I'll flip-flop and be optimistic. After all if WotC is smart, they'd be looking for the Win-Win with all the 3rd party suppliers. There are plenty of stories that WotC, being the image of the game, can't publish or has to stay away from because of image. That is...if they plan to make money.

    Adventure Paths (AoW & ST AP) Hardcovers

    I figured it was a long shot. BTW: I am loving Pathfinder. I think it is something that I will use for years. Thank you for everything!

    Adventure Paths (AoW & ST AP) Hardcovers

    Any chance Age of Worms or Savage Tide Adventure Paths will come out in hardcover? I would think the time for them to be released would be best right now. A shot in the $ money arm for WotC (and Paizo) right when they could use something to tide users over until 4e.

    D&D 4E 4E Cosmology & Yougoloths

    Whether or not they make it into a book, I think they will continue to exist. From what I understand about the new Devils, they are Fallen. They had to have some place to fall and it existed long before they slipped. Evil was around before they fell and was probably the secret reason why...

    Do you mix high fantasy and sci-fi?

    Depends on the story I am trying to tell. I don't usually go the full Expedition to the Barrier Peaks level, but I've dabbled in steam engines and gun powder. I try to keep it low though. It isn't a problem since it is usually limited material. More dangerous is modern concepts such as the...

    Dungeoncraft article: Shifters in MM, deities mentioned

    Yeah, I was wondering how much information to give the players as he was describing things. The part about Dwarven caravans traveling to the nearest big city made me think they should know about the cities that connect to that big city as well. I think it would be best to plan out two points...

    Zombies! New Dungeoncraft article up

    Yup, I liked that part....hopefully no vampires are going to be running away in the future but stay and taunt the turner.

    OOTS 496: Responsible

    yeah...one would almost think that the kid would need a guardian or something to make his moral choices for him at least until he is old enough to make them on his own. ;) Put me in the family paradise camp.... though when did they all die? How long ago did mom, dad, and little brother die?

    What would your next campaign be?

    My next campaign will probably be set in FR because of my players. What I'd really like to do is a Roman Empire set on a prime material plane at the edge of the multiverse. The prime material plane will be right at the edge of reality with the Far Realm knocking on its door. Cosmic material...

    New Dragon up

    eh....mostly just 3.5 monster stats and very little story added.

    Communism (& Socialism) in RPGs

    just because there is someone more powerful than you does not mean they are gods. Now the scientific method might be hard to pull off in a fantasy setting unless you really nailed the magical mechanics really tight....in which case is it really magic? The first communistic community IMHB that...

    The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is up (EDIT-All Chapters Now Added)

    ok, I'm for raising the costs. If our aim is to make life for the DM easier, I'd like to see tokens for each of the monsters in the adventure. They don't have to be fancy. (Heck, I wish WotC would do that for each of the monster manuals.)

    What would you like to see brought back from older editions?

    Planescaoe Dark Sun Ravenloft (though I liked it for flavor as I added it to my other campaigns) thief-acrobat Illusionist Named levels and though I don't want it back, I miss the 1st edition of psionics (after the dragon mag version of the psionicist) especially the feel of it. I hated the...
