one thing I've considered for such things including spell components, is allowing Spellcraft to be used as a Craft skill. Thus the costs can be cut in half if the wizard spends the time and effort to make his own inks and such. For costs, I've always prefered something along the lines of spell...

Bad design, IMO. Most everything int he RAW not related to combat has very little design attributed to it and no verisimilitude. Easiset thing to do is sit down with your DM and work out a compromise. Figure out what is more reasonable to that particular campaign with reguards to cost and time...

IMC, Things in the material world resemble the things in the spiritual world. There are elves and humans because there are elven and human gods. There are half-elves because a human and elven god got together and had a child allowing the creation of half-elves in the material world. It is...

Never bother with formal reviews. I rarely assume that reviewers tastes are similar to my own. I look at it in the store. Informal reviews by various people or friends whose opinions I trust, or repeated mentions in how it is a good product in certain situations will lead me to look at a product...

I'm partial to what could be be described as the high middle ages IIRC. No gunpowder. Vassalage. Serfdom. Monarchy mixed w/city states. Roughly defined borders. Lords raiding each other even within the same kingdom. Expanding population. Lots of wilderness still. Social station matters but one...

There are two parts to this as others have mentioned. In game, it can be too fast with teenagers becoming 20th level before hitting 20 years old. Of crouse, this would depend greatly on the campaign. If you want a campaign where this happened and it reaches an end point, it might not be a...

Seems like the bit about facing is just trying to make somethign out of a non-issue to up his word count. By "B-O-R-I-N-G", I think he means "unsuitable for miniatures combat". Indeed, I get the feeling that the entire purpose of this redesign (much like the others) was to create creatures and...

If the DM knows his stuff and the setting affects the campaign, and likewise, we can affect the setting, then I enjoy the game more.

Seems like the same math could be used to show that two rabbits birthing a hutch of rabbits every so often that ate so much food would eventually create a swarm of creatures that would eat everything on earth killing all life. You have attrition due to adventurers and other vampire killers. You...

They're $8!?! Yeesh! I guess my limit is over that because I pick them up every month. Of course, I get through through subscription service at my local comic book store (at 20% discount) and their price just gets averaged into my weekly comicbook habit. I do pick up NewType for about $10 or so...

Which doesn't do diddly squat against mind-affecting compulsions.

It's a mute point because whatever BBEG is having this done also has a cleric behind the person asking the question with Zome of Truth up.

Personally, I feel the GM failed on their part. If for no other reason than they let it stop the game and disrupt flow. Stonewalling at "What do you want to do?" is not good GMing. His job is to keep the game running and in a likable fashion. Why does he have more responsiblity than the player...

No, players can also have the final word because they can always walk or start a different game. I said yes, but only if the DM is a decent DM. With a DM you trust and enjoy, a player will probably never notice or argue with DM fiat. It'll be used to strengthen the DMs style and overall...

Skill system with skill points independent of level and gained by spending game time studying and training. That was 1E and dropped with 2E because although non-weapon proficiencies wasn't as detailed or exandable as the skill system I (and other DMs as I got the idea from my DM) had developed...

This will be a first for a 40k game.

I was also playing the Witchfire Trilogy and everybody decided to make dwarves, or rather the first three people did and at that point momentum took over and we had the party of dwarves running around trying to solve mysteries.

Had an all elven campaing once. 1E and everybody was a multiclassed elf with once class being magic-user(except for one fighter). Ran them through GDQ series. It's some combat when six of the party members open up with fireball and lightning bolt. They even researched a new spell "frostball"...

Would work for where I live now in Seattle, but not so good for my old home state of OK. PC1: What's around my village? DM: Endless miles of featureless plains. PC2: Are there any landmarks? DM: What part of "featureless" did you not understand? PC1: Are there any rivers? DM: Somtimes, but it's...

A dime is closer to the size of a platinium peice, and a silver peice to a quarter. (based upon densities of the metals and aproximations of thickness based on historical coins).
