    Chaotic Stupid: Actually, I think a lot of us have used this "alignment" at some point. precipitation rolls: while teaching a friend how to play Vampire: Dark Ages, he accidentally asked if he was going to get a precipitation roll (we had all had a bit much to drink...)to notice something. I...

    Prestige Classes

    As a player, I rarely use prestige classes. With the right combination of feats and skills, I can generally accomplish what my character concept is. As a GM, I'll use them when appropriate if I already have access to it, but I don't go looking for new prestige classes. Generally, my opinion...

    D&D 4E What will happen if 4E doesn't use the OGL?

    It costs more to defend against a lawsuit that to file one. Many lawyers only get paid if they win. I'm sure the right publishers could find the right blood-thirsty sharks to go after a money machine like Hasbro. And as a publically traded company, investors might get nervous is Hasbro gets...

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    I think the difference between 3.0/3.5 and the older editions is that publishers can't legally create support material for older editions. Whereas the OGL could allow publishers to create support materials for 3.0/3.5 into infinity. I don't see the OGL dissappearing even with 4e coming...

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    It's a license. I don't believe Margaret Weiss is stupid, naive, or unsavvy. She didn't walk into it blind. She knew it was a temporary situation (as is the nature of such things). It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. I don't believe she was manipulated, brainwashed, or otherwise...

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    So a company reclaiming it's IP is reason enough for you to steal? I'm pretty mad at my health insurance company about changes to my premiums. Guess I'll go steal my agent's car..... In my never humble opinion, methinks a few folks here in the forums might want to consider stepping away from...

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    Something tells me Margaret probably new this was ending some time ago and for legal reasons simply waited until it was time to make an official statement. I'm sure it was amicable, and she isn't hurting financially over it. Yes, I would want the IP back too knowing what kind of money such...

    Gods and Pantheons

    I believe it was Lovecraft who noted "The Gods are far away, and they are forgetful." Their churches, on the other hand, are around the corner and all up in your business. OK, I added that second part. :D I always have a strong understanding of the pantheon in my games, but that is more for...

    Do you tell player's what the DC is for a check?

    If my players think I'm cheating, I have a bigger problem than whether or not I am sharing the DC. During combat, I tend to tell them the DC/AC/SR etc up front so that it speeds up combat a bit. That way they can just let me know "I'm casting a spell, but I failed to get through the SR"...

    Minority Opinion: Why is the loss of the magazines just fine?

    I have a friend who gets both Dungeon and Dragon every month. And every month, he comes to me with something cool he found in one or the other that he wants to use in the game. 70% of the time, I've said outright NO because it would have thrown the game out of kilter. I guess I'm just...

    How do Vampires travel???

    We have a Folding Coffin in our Gods of the Dead PDF. I would think no self-respecting vampire would be without one! Who on earth would want to haul such an obvious thing as a around? Just as well paid a big target on your chest and carry a sign that says VAMPIRE. Of course, if your...

    VOTE to name the RPG portal!

    I had the evil minions go back and check, and after they were finished removing all of the traps the kobolds had left to slow down our efforts, we determined that you are, in fact, correct. We will be leaving the poll up for a few more days. If by chance the voting changes in your favor...

    Medusa & Mind Flayer "couple" - where is it?

    Step away from the strange incense you've been burning! ;) Are you sure you aren't just suffering delusions after being visited by some elder gods? Has the great Cthulhu been taking to you lately? Sounds like something he would come up with to drain sanity points!
