    Warhammer fantasy roleplay disaster, what happened

    I don't have my books in front of me but in 1E (the edition I am most familiar with) there were broad categories for the careers - Warrior, Academic, Rogue and Ranger - then each career fell under one of these categories. No one could just be a 'ranger' or an 'academic' they would have to have...

    Warhammer fantasy roleplay disaster, what happened

    Actually I would say that the ranger player was actually playing against the norm for Warhammer. The world is not so black and white as your typical D&D game but the GM and ranger player both are treating it as such. The most common alignment in Warhammer is neutral which is often described as...

    A Five Foot Vorpal Sword vs A Ten Foot Neck

    I am in awe for your tenacity to write 'magical' like that. I want to put it in my sig to have it forever.

    Point Me to Some Storytelling RPGs?

    Once Upon a Time a card game that is pure story telling. You use the items described in your card to add important elements and features to the story you tell with your friends. Pause or mention something someone else has a card for (and can put into the story in a meaningful way) and play...

    Dungeon Tiles or New Maps?

    Blue-tac is a life saver if you want to build anything using tiles. Once I got that it is the matter of 5 minutes putting a map together and having it stuck in place but still easy to pull apart. I put a clear sheet of plastic on the table to prevent any chance of staining the finish of the...

    Gamma World Decks

    I believe the minimum is 7 cards per deck. No other rules that I can recall.

    Dungeon Tiles or New Maps?

    I would *love* to see some actual maps in Dungeon mag again. I don't think every adventure needs to have hand-crafted maps - the Delves can keep the dungeon tile format as it really suits the 'quick n' easy' style of the delves - I've used many of them as transitional scenes between major plot...

    Death Saving Throw: Roll 20 or higher, spend surge then?

    Saving throws (which is what death saving throws are) take place at the end of a creatures turn so I don't think you get any actions by RAW. Maybe you could spend an action point? Not a 100% on that as most people aren't willing to blow an action point to just stand up (pretty much 100% of the...

    Monster Builder (the non-online one) gets a patch!

    Well I broke my own rule about not d/ling any update to the CB or MB before checking what it contained so now my desktop MB has less content and runs exactly as it did before (which was, honestly, OK - not 100% stable but at least 90% stable). Fortunately my laptop still has a untainted copy on...

    The Dark Times are upon us...

    Hmmmm...so your saying he didn't really mean what he said? That he was trying to make "teh funney" as the kids say? Can't really see it. See? Sure sounds like he has total confidence in WotC. I don't anymore but hey I'm not going to speak for anyone else.

    The Dark Times are upon us...

    Why would you think that? WotC's track record is spotty right now.

    Are You Using Skill Checks and Skill Challenges

    I was using skill challenges when I was DMing. In one game I played in until recently the DM would announce the SC was in effect and we just rolled dice to overcome it *yawn*. The game I do still play in uses SC but manages to keep things in the background for the most part. I find SC a chore...

    DDI Updates in December

    I think it might also have something to do with if your character has anything in the journal section. I have 2 copies of a paladin I play - one has some notes (like 2-3 pages) in the journal section of the old CB and one doesn't. The one without any journal notes uploaded just fine into the...

    Are there beholders in Dark Sun?

    For this reason alone I'm allowing this in the OPs campaign regardless of what his actual DM says. ;)

    Current state of the online Character Builder

    In other words "You guys are not getting an update on the 7th - we still can't fix this buggy POS we forced out the door 3-4 months before it was ready, sorry! :)" Yeah - not really caring at this point. My sub runs out in Feb/11 who knows maybe there'll be a Dragon article I read or a Dungeon...

    Magazine Survey from WotC

    I find this amusing since you yourself have said, repeatedly on these boards, that you have never been and never will be a subscriber. It does make me wonder how you would know so much about the current state of Dragon and Dungeon though... ANyways - I answered that I would kind of like to...

    How to stop player whining? Drama!

    I'm really sorry (sadly not surprised) to hear your friend went back to his old ways. I do want to say however that the campaign you are playing in sounds FREAKING AWESOME! I mean clowns? Rifles? Explosive circus tents? :D:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool:

    I am truly heartbroken

    I've heard it is the glue used in the boxes but I don't know if I really believe that. Bullgrit - deepest sympathies - I would freak right the @#$% out if I came home and found this for some of my vintage gaming books.
