    Paying for game sessions?!?

    I just had a conversation about this with one of my players last week. I don't see paying the DM as a bad thing. DM's put alot of time into their games, and a lot of money. It's hard to come up with a cheaper 4+ hours of solid entertainment, even if you pay a small monthly fee. Movies are...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Re: Re: Ok, im a business guy Hmm, I was adressing hypothetical crap that a generic d20 company puts out, I apologize since that wasn't clear. I completely understand John's point. My (vague) point is, that's not new to any industry. Therefore the Amazon example. There is always a flood...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    John: Whats your point? That there is a difference between short-term and long-term market conditions? I'm sorry, i thought the ST effects of the OGL and D20 were obvious. Yes, the market is in a state of flux as it adapts to this new paradigm. No, this isn't anything new, especially right...

    Funny Animal D20 anyone? (MM2 rant)

    They could have saved alot of time and money by just making a 'Humanoid' template we could apply to anything in the MM I.

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Ok, im a business guy As such I noticed a few claims Wallis seems to make. he begins by blaming d20 for soft re-orders, as if it was a bad thing leading to the ultimate destruction of the industry. One interpretatation, more business/economics orientated, could be that the flood of new...

    Spring attack and haste: stop me from getting cheesy

    The cool thing about this combo is that you don't even need Spring Attack to pull it off. The downside is that you waste the previous round manifesting Hustle. Try taking Persistent instead of SA and using it on Hustle. The Sage (and others) has ruled that you can then take your Hustle action...

    Hum, thats why my pop invested in a 2" wide brown leather belt :D Now i'm a hard-working, productive american. Never done drugs, don't even drink. He put all that money he saved on boarding school into a nice IRA for me, too.

    Difference between Known World and Mystara

    I'm running a 3e game in Karameikos right now. The group hasn't really had much to do with the setting yet because we jumped into RttToEE. They messed around up in Threshold and thats about it. Since they are busy I run the history as background, following almanac II (year 1011). After they...

    Bribing Players

    In my game all the characters start with 30 point buy. If they give me a character writeup i'll make it at least 31 point buy for them, but varying up to 33 point buy for a very good writeup. How 'good' they are is based on background, hooks, NPC's mentioned, etc, not any sort of writing...

    Do You Consider Yourself A Good Player, and Why?

    I voted no for similar reasons listed above. I've been mainly DMing for the past 5 years so I tend to be a bit ruleslwayer-ly. I also stay too much in character when the other players are just screwin around sometimes, from my strict RP L5R games. When I first started playing i had some...

    How high can you go before getting +1 BAB?

    You forgot a level of Psion. If you work the feats and skills right id bet you could get all the way up to 20th without any BAB, taking the first level of a few PrC's. Or you could just go for the Halfling Outrider :D

    He ate George! [Warning, Vile]

    I dunno about the why's of it, but I know a little about the how. One of the primary reasons cannibalism is usually observed for only religious reasons is because of how unhealthy it is. Subsisting on a strict diet of human is impossible without getting some kind of sickness and probably...

    Rpg's and miniatures

    Hey, Intelligence 8 Gnolls are NOT tactical genious's. Don't worry, i'll play the smart bad guys to their utmost capabilities. BTW i'm getting sick of your cleric getting stoned at the end of the session. :p And did you know a relatively low-level evil cleric can Lesser Planar Ally in a...

    How often do you restart/change campaigns?

    About 6 months before changing campaigns. Usually we hop around between campaigns, coming back to one or another. My longest campaign was probably a year and a half long L5R campaign. Interspersed with Kobolds Ate My baby, of course. After 6 months I start to burn out and run out of ideas...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    Psy Warrior gets the Medium BAB. With 2 levels of Barb this puts you at 15/10/5. Hook that up with Deep Impact (ignore all Armor bonus's, costs 5 power points) and you won't need the extra BAB. Power Attack with that and you do more damage than a straight Barb. Get a sword with a few 5 point...
