And I believe that you believe that it actually made your game faster. I am still skeptical, however. There may have been other factors that slowed things down before that were not present when the new rules were used. Or you might just not have noticed that it was taking longer because you and...

And I respect your anecdotal story. And it sounds like you guys are having fun with it! Still don't believe it. My own anecdotal experience is just way different. Sorry. :)

Oh yeah. Break out the spread sheet if you are running a large combat. Compare this to the way the game I am in is running it now... Everyone rolls initiative at the start of the GAME. Then when combat starts it is not, "Roll initiative!" It is, "You round a corner and there are some orc...

Several posters have pointed out that it is good to take a look at something that is accepted as the standard and questioning whether it is really is the best way to do things. And I agree that it is good to do so. However, that does not mean that you will always find out that it is not the...

Easing back slowly, Mindra leaves the door where it is and gestures towards the door then holds up two fingers. Then whispers, "Two" for Coriana's benefit. She then pulls out her bow and moves to the other side of the door and nods towards Coriana. Mindra wants to take out the two in the...

Teleport spells generally only allow willing creatures, so by RAW I would say no. But as a house rule I think it would be more fun if you could take them unwilling as well. As opposed to the other limitations I would allow a Wisdom save to keep yourself from going along for the ride. And maybe...

My house rule only allows the adjustment of distance, so it could go backward or forward, but not side-to-side. Two wizards sitting on each others' disks could move, but only in a strait line. But even then, what's wrong with making the spell useful? It doesn't sound like anything you mentioned...

The disk doesn't move if you are 20' or less from it. So you can turn around and walk towards it and it will just stop where it is. But the whole 20' requirement before it will move is stupid. It is hardly an overpowered spell. I just allow the caster to adjust the distance between 5' and 20'...

Mindra will try to get a peak inside, hopefully without being noticed herself. If needed she will open the door slightly to get a better view.

VikingLegion Actually it sounds like we are agreeing. What I described was for a single-player CRPG, which you said you would enjoy. MMO or other multiplayer games would of course have to be different. Back in the day I played vanilla EverQuest (before the release of Ruins of Kunark) and I had...

I am surprised that Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 keep getting thrown out as games that didn't stick to the D&D rules. Personally I turned on "Show Rolls" and "Auto-Pause at end of Round" and the game played very much like sitting at the table. I would chose an action for every character, hit play, one...

Moving up, Mindra will keep an eye out for traps and tripwires. When Mindra gets to the door she stops and listens, putting her ear to the door if necessary. I have moved Mindra on the map.

I'm having a little trouble trying to figure out what the layout is. The way I understand it a tunnel goes strait from the entrance more than 60' and there is a dim light at the end. Half way down that tunnel between the dim light and us is an open doorway (on the right or left?). Then there is...

Dex save: 1D20+6 = [9]+6 = 15

Mindra nods and moves just ahead of Coriana, looking for tripwires, snares, triggers or other evidence of traps. She slowly advances trying to stay as quite as possible. Stealth: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15 Sorry for the recent absence. I should be able to check back every day now.

Walking over to the chest Mindra hesitates before touching it. "Why do you seem to be so eager for us to look inside? Will any harm come from it?" She waits for Theremin to translate, watching the dragon closely to see if she can guess at the creatures intent. Assuming she can detect no ill...
