Battletech has always intrigued me, though i had read horror stories of rolling millions of dice to resolve a single round of combat (or is that a wet dream?), but i never knew where to start or who would play with me. This has piqued my interest, i'll be keeping an eye on it.

i'm fairly confident there's a wiki out there somewhere. the art might be a bit squirrely, but if starcitygames.com is any indication, posting the full card images should be legit. If someone could legitimately post something as simple as a 4e style delve in ANY of the magic settings (bonus...

i can't speak for everyone, but i intend to pick it up (along with revenge of the giants) as part of D&D game day. this is at least in part because participating in game day gets you 10% off (25% if you DM the adventure) at my FLGS. I'm definitely excited about this. although i had attempted...

by virtue of being able to focus on a setting for a year + 3 novels and then let it be, magic is able to give you the awesome parts of a setting without worrying about things like "why" it exists. in fact, by virtue of the concept of a multiverse, it's usually sufficient to assume that...

Oregon Trail: the RPG Each player takes on the role of a family member and works together to try and complete various encounters. Fill the roles of Father, Mother, or Child(er), and choose from classes such as Banker, Woodworker, Fjorder, and Dysentery Dier. In this harsh, gritty campaign...

edition wars aside, since this _is_ technically endorsing pathfinder, should it not then be moved to the pathfinder board?

penny arcade posted the first page of 3 ideas they had for serialized comic series. Jim Darkmagic was one of them, but generally was outshined in one page by the other two. Ultimately they chose to do one and let a guest artist do the other, leaving Jim Darkmagic to be a single page of story.

emphasis mine. again, this is NOT how the ability works. it provides a BONUS and the ability to bluff ON BEHALF of someone else. Now, i generally agree that, especially in 3e, the DM had to be defensive about allowing a PC to do something for fear of essentially making some obscure and...

First: to which i respond: Next: to which: so if we're going to sit down and dissect it, we're implying that 10 straight minutes of pantomime is necessary to eke out the meaning of things like location of water or "which way did the baddy go". If we're going to continue down this...

enworld ate my more eloquent and fully quoted response to some of the complaints: healing surges: the article actually explains what they're meant to represent in general terms. believe it or not, for some people this engenders roleplaying. disguise: the ritual enhances the very skill check...

I bought a book of brainteasers and have often drawn inspiration from the Professor Layton series on the DS. The most difficult part is often finding a way to make the puzzle seem relevant/related to the player's environment, and possibly allowing for their skills and stats to figure in. So...

you clearly have no love for 4e, and yet decided to post in a thread specifically attempting to cull information, not pass judgement. congratulations, you hate things that aren't even out yet. You also want to sell this illusion that you were ever genuinely considering this product, but much...

it requires a DDI subscription, but this page: Previews for August and Beyond includes more details about revenge of the giants, mostly story based fluff as well as the stats for a few monsters. The monsters are leveled between 13 and some level 17 minions, which seems to suggest to me there...

i've played small world twice so far and managed to come in last both times (well, the second time i tied for last). I think my problem is i'm too conservative about when i send my first race into decline.

Michael Bolton, Level 30 Human Coder Paragon Path: Y2K 'Sploiter Epic Destiny: Ender of Printers The Bobs, level 18 elite controller Bill Lumburgh, level 33 solo lurker Paragon Tier Artifiact: Red Swingline Stapler the possibilities are endless :-P

definitely appreciate the suggestions, and i think they're inline with what i want to do. Even though it never came up with this (relatively new) group, i generally just put invisibility as a status where you get -5 to be hit and leave it on the board too. Too much fiddly-ness for my taste...

not intending to perform thread necromancy but I am a DM having a somewhat similarly hard time coming up with a fair adjucation. Additionally, besides this thread I've read the one about gnomes/eyebite, several threads on WotC and gleemax, and pored over the rules to completion (I think, maybe...

Yes, there have been numerous threads every time there is even a hint that the amazon sales ranks tip in favor of 3.5 over 4e (even when it turns out to not be true), so people really are questioning that 3.5 is outselling 4e. It is one of the many reasons threads like this - where people...

ultimately the order of magnitude argument is one that would probably be doubted by avid 3.5 fans/4e unfans even if he spelled it out to the penny. This should give you an idea of my skepticism towards their skepticism. Regardless, the point of it being specifically purchasing highlights an...

I've been curious about converting old 1e and 2e adventures as well. I was wondering if anyone has already done some so I can get a feel for their treatment of the source material. Also, what are some good places to find old adventures or are there any particularly simple 1e/2e adventures that...
