Latter part of the d20 era?? I think you mean the OGL era. To be d20 your product had to reference the core books, couldn't have an experience chart, and a couple of other things. I think the best way to look at it would be to compare it to comic books. The Golden Age of OGL may be gone, but...

Jason Buhlman over on Paizo's board, unfortunately don't remember the thread, stated that if they do another RPG (not Pathfinder) they wouldn't follow the OGL design. He stated there were a lot of ideas they couldn't go with for Pathfinder because it would have change the game too much and they...

I would say that it's more like WotC changed market strategy and invented Linux, making it open source. Everyone else was invited to play with this "software" to help improve it with the expectation that most would make standard software and not actually clone the OS. If anything Paizo has...

And my first reaction to it was, "Great, another reason to think they're turning a roleplaying game into a card game; they're making deck boxes for it." Don't get me wrong I appreciate the gesture, but compared to the past I thought it was a cheap replacement to what they have done. I tended...

An interesting fact I discovered years ago while doing a report on a game called Kings Table, done up in Dragon Magazine but based on a real viking game, is that Chess under went the same problems. It was even officially banded by the Catholic Church for around a 100 year period or so if memory...

I'll add my vote for Dragon Age also. Since it's new you only have levels 1-5 to worry about and the stunt system is probably the best feature it has. Highly recommend it.

I'm wondering what kind of impact the new Warhammer Fantasy game will have on 5e. FFG kind of took 4e's ball and ran with it a little as far as use of cards and miniatures. I had to laugh today though when I opened my RPGA rewards packet and got a Dark Sun deck box. My first thought was...

I believe it was Monte Cook who admitted after the announcement of 4e that they had actually started planning it just after the release of 3e. I think what he was referring to is that in the back of everyone's minds they started thinking how they could make the game better. I would hope that...

Freeport now sits next to my Pathfinder books.

I'm trying to keep an open mind about 4e, but WotC keeps shutting the door. I think the only thing that would get me back completely would be if WotC announced open beta for 5e and actually did the beta as promised.

I'll answer your questions. I just finished Crypt of the Everflame two weeks ago with my group. They enjoyed it and we started up Masks of the Living God. Both are part of a three mod arch written by Jason Bulmahn and are great introductory modules. Paizo's adventures are well written IMO...

It would be nice if they made it stand alone like was done with the Alternity version. Since it mentions setting I am sure that won't be the case this time.

Awesome find! I can't wait to read more about this.

I'm in!

Actually an aspect of Pathfinder that hasn't been developed yet that I think would help tweek the races would be Traits. I've aslo thought about modifying either the bard or rogue to make them a master of the trait system and allow for more fine tuning. There's no reason why gnolls couldn't be...

Great thing about maps is they can be used with any game system. There are several threads around here that cover maps as well as there are many sites dedicated to collecting or helping find them. You could try a Google search for dungeon maps and I'm sure you'll find a lot as well as images...

I started thinking about this last week and tonight I started searching on Google with no real luck. Then just as I am about to give up for the night I decided to check back through the threads here on enWorld and I find it sitting right at the top, figures. ;) I've been thinking of making...

Turtlejay - You should have no problem playing optional 3.5 classes. Part of Pathfinder's objective was to bring the core classes up to a level in line with the classes found outside of it, such as the Beguiler and Warmage. Other than calculating CMB/CMD there won't be much converting. There...

History in Miniatures is proud to announce that this year there will be two Fields of Honor in Des Moines, Iowa. Fields of Honor Spring will be held the weekend of March 26-28th at Stoney Creek Inn in the suburb of Johnston. Roleplaying games will include D&D 4e Living Forgotten Realms and...

I jumped whole heartedly into 4e and own just about every book through DMG II. I played it for about a year, including a home campaign that lasted about six months. I have several LFR characters including a 5th level Drow Shadow Pact warlock. My disparity came from the way the classes felt...
