    Thank you morrus!

    I wouldn't bother with making it a Kickstarter or an Indigogo. Do something like Board Game Geek. They are running their yearly fundraiser right now on the top page of the website. Keeps a running total so everyone can see how it's going. At the end of the pledge, they award Geek Gold to...

    Attack Page warning?!

    I was here quite a bit yesterday with no problems. Today it was giving me the message no matter where on enworld I tried to go. Finally bypassed the warnings. This is on Chrome.

    Do you use a computer when playing?

    I went through a phase a few years back where I bought a lot of pdf's and brought my laptop to every session. In the end, I ended up, for the most part going back to paper. It's actually much quicker for our group to look something up in an actual book than it is to try and scan through a pdf...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wights and wraiths

    Not all that fond of their current plan to have them simply do hit point damage. It's basically no different than swinging a sword and doing damage. In our campaign, they drain Con. The Con damage isn't permanent assuming they are not killed from the draining, but it also doesn't come back...

    Energy Drain

    Not all that fond of their current plan to have them simply do hit point damage. It's basically no different than swinging a sword and doing damage. In our campaign, they drain Con. The Con damage isn't permanent assuming they are not killed from the draining, but it also doesn't come back...

    DM playing with PC?

    I've been running a DMPC in our groups campaign for over 10 years now and it's worked fine for us. Main reason being myself and another player trade off GM'ing the group. We each run an adventure and then swap places. In all the years we've been doing it I don't ever recall hearing one of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oct playtest magic items are legend---wait for it--ary!

    I've been playing since the 70's and I'm certainly not generous with my magic (I place almost every item I give out even if I'm running a module), but to me that seems a bit too stingy. To only find a couple of healing potions and a couple of other minor trinkets over what could easily be a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dissapointed with Attunement

    We've used attunement in our campaign for many years. The 10 minute thing though makes it almost useless. In our campaign, attunement takes anywhere from 1 day to several months depending on the power of the item with most items falling into the 1 week or less category. Not all items require...

    D&D 5E (2014) Oct playtest magic items are legend---wait for it--ary!

    So your saying by 10th level, you would like each player to have gotten perhaps 5 or 6 potions, 2 +1 equivalent items, 1 +2 or equivalent item and nothing else? Why even have magic in your game at all? I can't imagine there would be many people out there that would agree with this.

    The Perturbed Dragon S01E04: The Cliche [video]

    I liked this episode the best so far. Loved the pointless quests.

    Here is a good place to check out what the game is about. BoardGameGeek It looks as if the game is made in Italy. www.irondie.com

    Attn: Dice Freaks!

    Thanks for the links. I had looked at these a while back and decided at $40+ shipping it was too much. The 40% off clearance at FRP Games was enough for me to purchase a set.

    How do you role getting new spells?

    After the character has been created, I've never given the player a "free" spell. I.e. no one will ever just give them a spell for reaching a new level, be it mentor or whoever. All spells are found while adventuring in-game in old spell books or on scrolls. If lucky, they might also find a...

    Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter

    Currently at $3.145 Mil and the Familiar level was just "achieved" even through we're not at 3.34 yet. They've added the next stretch goal. It looks to be an undead dragon for an extra $10 to your vampire/undertaker pledge.

    Reaper Miniatures Kickstarter

    Curse all of you! I had managed to not pledge this even though I had been watching it on and off since the start. All the talk here about how much you get at the Vampire level made me fail my saving throw and I just pledged $150 at the vampire level. Now I just have to figure out what I'm...

    Rune Raiders iPhone App

    I've had it a while and it's a fun game. It used to be a paid app and the latest update changed it to free with in-app purchases and ad's. Because of it I haven't updated to that version. It's still probably at least worth checking out since it's free.

    Dungeonaday.com: The Original Online Megadungeon! Kickstarter Project

    I asked them a question about 4 or 5 days ago and am still waiting on an answer. I've seen them post several times on the KS page since then so my question must not be worth their time (or my money).

    Sci-Fi System Recommendations

    Sorry for the slow reply. I've been on vacation for the past two weeks so my research was put on hold. I did pick up a beta copy of High Space off rpg now and plan on taking a look at that, from what I can see it's based off of the savage worlds system. One I'm familiar with and had...

    Future of D&D Keynote Speech [UPDATE - with video!]

    This I agree with, lets quit beating this dead horse. Let the poor guy die. FR has been revisited too many times already. People that want to play in the FR already have a lifetime of material to choose from. I would have liked them to either come up with a new setting or pick one of the...

    How do I delete my account?

    And if you really want to never use it again, change your password to a long string of random characters than copy and paste it into the confirm password box. Presto, you will never log in again even if you wanted to.
