I would vote for a turn-based-combat game, like Final Fantasy tactics I like games where I can stand up and get a snack, or maybe go and make a baby bottle While we get this holy grail of gaming, I recommend the free and excellent Battle for Wesnoth

Sounds like Sergeant Detritus's forms of interrogation: "His lack of imagination results in an interesting interrogation technique; while he cannot think of any questions beyond 'It was you what done it, own up!', he never gets bored with asking it... Detritus has a big voice and can shout...

Yeah, and just a day after Mexican Independence day (Sept 16, if you didn't know):p

Pedophiles do... all the time. It's kinda their big, big problem.

I voted Invoker... their fluff seems better covered by the wizard Shamans have amazing fluff, and decent crunch, don't understand the hate

Well, to be fair, warhorses were bred to emphasize aggressive behavior and they bit, trampled and kicked enemy infantry quite often... Read G.R.R. Martin's books for lovingly gruesome descriptions of horses in fantasy/medieval battles...

No! In a 4E campaign, a large scale battle or a war takes exactly as long to end as required by the story, because it is just a narrative element. Only those characters that directly interact with the PCs need to be described in terms of level, role and stats. The 4E ruleset assumes that the...

There's no justification for that kind of language! :eek: Enworld has really become vulgar... next thing you know people will start saying Belgium without the mods even bothering to try to censor...

I know at least of a couple of cases where people have gotten into gaming because of their significant others. Some go well, some don't. However, I wouldn't say "don't even try!". At least on my wife's case, she finds tabletop role-playing as "another thing to do on a Saturday", that is to say...

What is the sound of a non-thread clapping? If a thread is all by itself in the woods, does it make an edition war?

Completely agree with you guys. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a revised version of the "skill challenge / combat encounter mix" in post # 19... right now, I'm really tired and need to hit bed... In the meantime, do you guys want to give it a try and post something similar? Maybe we can get a good...

My current DM has his own campaign setting (which he has worked on for the last 15 years or so, adapting it to AD&D 2nd ed, 3.5 and now 4th edition) where none of the typical fantasy races exist (including humans) Out of respect for his work, I wont go into any more detail (he dreams of...

The 4E ruleset is not very well suited to do hard, simulationist battles of large armies. However, it is well suited to do a narrativist, movie-like scene of war. I would run a battle this way: First, I would describe the battlefield, the armies facing each other, the nervousness of the...

I win.

My English is not good enough to make a clever pun, so I'll make a semi-serious question. Is this the first 4E related joke in Order of the Stick?

It died. Alone. In the dark. ... Good thing we have MapTools

I have no crunch recommendation, but as for fluff, I would imagine this as a mixture of the Gnome from the D&D 4e videos and the Gnomes and the Nac Mac Feegle (also known as the Pictsies) from the Discworld You can't go wrong with battle cries such as: "They can tak' oour lives, but they...

Oh, man! Now I'm going to have that game's music going on and on inside my head! Back to topic, I would recommend Sure Strike, as it is a good last-resort power to use when you are dealing with a high-ac beastie

Look, its obvious that the chandelier in the town tavern, regardless of which characters are present, is a heroic-level terrain feature. And its also obvious that if, for whatever reason, a low level character finds himself in the palace of an archdevil, the chandelier there won't be made of...

Agreed. You can think of these "one-time terrain" as "Prepackaged page 42 stunts" edit: Maybe allowing stunts to be more powerful than a regular at-will attack, but limiting them to "one per encounter, do not repeat the same stunt for the rest of the adventure" would be good enough? I...
