I don't know what the current "rules" are, but a lot of game stores sell books early when they're actually not supposed to. :erm: AFAIK you're not supposed to sell them until the release date.

This is one of my favorite methods. Honestly, it's really easy to get a boatload of rings without trying. Whenever you're with someone who's got a bottle of soda/water/whatever, just ask them if you can pop the ring off when they're done. ;) Heck, just a regular D&D session netted me like 5-10...

You had me all for this until "no anchovies," which happen to be my favorite pizza topping ;)

I'm personally a huge fan of Eberron ;) Honestly, I can't think of a setting I hate, or really even strongly dislike. Sci-Fi stuff in general does have a tendency toward excessive complexity in my experience, though.

Confirmed! If I wasn't heading down with a big group of local gamers and actually had flexibility there, I'd be there 'til monday ;)

If they're an experienced player, I expect them to bring a character sheet, pencil, and dice. Not that I won't have plenty of extras. If they're a newbie, they just need to show up ;)

I'm interested, if there's room :D Wish I could, but I'll probably be leaving before it'd end. D'oh!

I'll take slot #6 :D No preference for characters.

Dang, sorry to hear that. :( Especially as a huge fan of Basic, which I think he did an excellent job with.

Having used advice found in basically every post in this thread, it's definitely helping a lot with getting the system down. Thanks, all! :)

As a college student, when I first started up my D&D group, I didn't really know anyone in it; we were a random assortment of people who wanted to play in a D&D game. Over time, I've gotten pretty close with a couple of them. The others, I just see during the game. And, of course, one or two...

It throws off the balance of healing and damage. Healing becomes half as effective, if it's based on surges, but static bonuses are twice as effective :) Also, all damage is twice as potent, throwing off the balance of strikers versus other archetypes...

Good point on Adventurer's Vault! :D I've found my appreciation for the PHB1 classes has grown more over time, I'm not sure why. As far as the lack of feats, I'd prefer a smaller, finite set to a ridiculous overload. Just the PHB might be a bit harsh though, that's fair to say. I'm definitely...

Awesome advice, thanks! It gives me somewhere to actually start. :) Any particular adventure recommendations? Pathfinder doesn't seem to have the token "simple, straightforward adventure in the back of the book" that I'm used to seeing in RPGs to give me an idea of how an adventure is...

Thanks for the advice! :D I don't mind going PHB + ___ Source books right now, but I'm already a bit iffy about it as I've lost interest in keeping track of them, and I know there are going to be a ton before 4e is done. It might work for now, but I feel as though I might just come back to the...

I've messed with them before. I don't remember which one I used, but you could import it into any program. There was a delay, but I wouldn't say it was much different than the delay of live captioning. The accuracy was decent - at the very least least, decent enough to add enough context to...

So, I offered to run some Pathfinder games for friends after grabbing the core rulebooks, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. Though I've played 3.5 a bit, I'd hardly consider myself an expert, and I've never actually DMed it. My main issue is that I simply cannot absorb a...

Sounds like fun! Wish I lived a bit closer, though; I'm probably about 7hrs or so away (western NY). Good luck with the con, though! :D

I have a love-hate relationship with all of the support for 4e. On one hand, yay, lots of new content and fixes! On the other hand, the game keeps changing constantly, and I feel far too out of touch with the "current" 4e. So, I was considering running my games with just the PHB! :D I really...

Well, wouldn't the problem still exist in a face-to-face game? If not, what is causing it to become a problem? If so, what can you do to work around it? Unfortunately, I can't really think of a lot of work-arounds. Most people can't read lips (in my experience), so that's probably out. Signing...
