    Necromancer Games Under Fire?

    To me it looks likes some shyster lawyers are trying to cast Peterson in a negative light so that they have a (tiny) chance to get their cases overturned.

    How hard should a game be?

    It should be just hard/easy enough to allow every player in the game to have fun. Trying to give a standard metric to this like Challenge Ratings or Encounter Levels is pretty pointless as every single group is going to deviate from that standard to some degree. A good GM will know what makes...

    Who killed JFK?

    I'm usually the last person to ever believe in conspiracy theories but in the case of the JFK assassination there are just too many weird happenings, to my mind, fully support the lone gunman theory. Who helped Oswald pull it off (or used Oswald as a patsy) I don't think we'll ever really know...

    D&D 5E (2014) "Damage on a miss" poll.

    And take 1/2 damage? Is this all that different than making a Reflex saving throw? I don't think it is. It gives certain powers a little boost in usefulness.

    Bones II

    Did you back the last Bones KS? If so you subsidized shipping for both US and Canadian backers then too. International backers paid $25 for shipping in that one.

    Pathfinder 1E Tom Vasel reviews the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game

    Well I just can't agree with that 4 on Talisman, Waaaaaaaaaaayyyy too generous. That game is a 2 if I ever saw one.

    How will the Doom Kickstarter fraud scandal affect future Kickstarters?

    For me this is already a reality. It was from the moment I heard of Kickstarter. I really could not ever see myself giving money to a small, independent publisher/artist/inventor etc. well...ever. The 3 projects I have backed were all from established companies whose products I had purchased...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    Bingo!! We have a winner! Lightsabers (and I can't believe I'm actually saying this) are freaking boring. They have been boring for over a decade. I would much rather see what life is actually like in the Star Wars universe without the damned Jedi running around. Know what my favourite...

    Worldbuilders (and Destroyers) Unite - A Risk Legacy Review

    It really isn't a big deal. The base game (i.e. the one that comes out of the box) is really bare bones and can be finished in 20 minutes. It is only when you open up packs of cards and bins of miniatures that the game gets interesting. I didn't think I'd be able to do it either but by the...

    Tabletop Gaming News for Saturday, 20 April, 2013 [Plus: D&D is Evil!]

    This should boost sales of D&D related games and items by a huge margin - everyone loves the Evil!

    Great movies you might not have heard of.

    Chronicle (2012) Soon after three teens stumble upon an unidentified substance in the Pacific Northwest woods, they begin to exhibit powers beyond their wildest dreams. But harnessing their newfound abilities proves far more challenging than they ever imagined. While pretty predictable it has...

    Beyond Dungeon!: D&D boardgames and Talisman

    I would take any of the D&D boardgames over Talisman. I freaking hate that game. Its about 20 minutes of fun packed into 4 hours. I've played both Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashaldon and I think I like CR better. WoA does add in some stuff but CR plays, ime, faster and easier.

    Pathfinder 1E So far not impressed with Pathfinder

    [/b] Oh I couldn't agree more! It really seems to me that the 'art' of GMing has been diminished in an effort to make the 'perfect' game. GMs have the responsibility to make rulings in the game just like they have the responsibility to gain and keep the trust of their players.

    Should Zero Level be part of the regular rules?

    Don't want it, never needed it. I liked the NPC classes from 3E best myself and felt they modeled 'apprentice' levels quite fine with higher leveled NPCs just being regular people who level only as they age and get better at their vocations. Yes I even used a 15th level Commoner.

    What's your favourite alignment?

    I voted LG just because my last few PCs were LN and LG. I have enjoyed playing all the non-evil alignments though from a half-insane CN Thief in 2E to a 1E LG Paladin to a TN Ranger in 3E. I love sampling many of the alignments but the evil ones, despite some attempts at them, just sit poorly...

    Kickstarter The REBUILDING EN WORLD Kickstarter Project

    The survey sent out at the end of the KS will take care of all of this. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Group Dynamics and the Chaotic Neutral Bard ...

    Nonsense. I'll accept that this was *your* experience but it was not the 'default mode of play'.

    Is this as fast as this site is going to get?

    Huh. I just thought Crothian had started posting a bit more.
