    Warhammer 3e Demo Experiences -OR- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bits

    I got a chance to try the game last night for a little bit. It was awesome! We had three players and the DM (who owned the core box as well as the toolkit). Our DM was well-prepared, and had familiarized himself thoroughly with the rules, though he hadn't yet run or played the game. Two of...

    To Reimburse or Not to Reimburse?

    I really dislike the idea of tailoring magic item finds to the PCs. It's too metagamey and fake for my tastes. I understand that many people do find such a system enjoyable, but for me, it's just not as fun. That's true whether I'm a player or a DM. $

    To Reimburse or Not to Reimburse?

    3E? 4E? PF? Trailblazer.

    What is meant, exactly, by "unified spell progression"?

    What makes a Sandbox?

    I love the idea of trying to run a classic sandbox campaign, but I don't see how to do it without either: 1. Doing utterly insane amounts of prep work before the campaign and between sessions. or 2. Being some kind of super-genius at improvisation. By "how to do it" I mean how to run a...

    Siloing: Good or Bad?

    But a DM and group of players have the freedom to do this in any game, siloed or not.

    Siloing: Good or Bad?

    I am 100% for siloing. I, too, think that 4E should have taken this to an even greater level than it does.

    Alternative rules systems for a Dark Sun game?

    Okay, here's a related, but more specific question: What system has the best psionics rules that you've seen? Cool, flavorful, powerful, complex psionics. With mechanical support for interesting mental battles or psychic duels of some kind, ideally.
