    Why does STR affect Attack Bonus?

    Being stronger makes you faster, more able to control your strikes, and more likely to push through whatever defense or resistance your opponent is offering. The whole "small quicker guy beats a big strong guy" is kind of a joke. A strong fighter is almost always going to win over a quicker...

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    Except you have to have a classless system set up, a skill based combat system, and a much more deadly combat system. In Shadowrun, you CAN quite easily make a character who's an armor wearing wizard who can fire a heavy machine gun better then anyone else, or a decker who can cast spells with...

    Character creation time

    I can do a character, even a high level one, in 10 to 15 minutes. The only exception being the equipment of a character higher then about 10th level, in which case it can take a little longer, depending on what I feel like I need to buy. I can't fathom how people take an hour to roll up a...

    D&D 4E OT: Shadowrun 4E announced

    I don't. I don't think you could pull off Shadowrun very well at all in d20. There are some things that d20 just cannot do, and this is one of them.

    DnD 5e: Ready?

    5th edition will upgrade to the d30. All the new tools in the system will require the use of 50% more sides then old D&D.

    D&D 4E DnD 4E DOA?

    If they bring about some great new changes and additions, then I'll be all over 4th edition. But I still would hate to see it come out within the next 5 years. There's a lot of life in 3.5, and 20 years worth of material to update. Even though there's a glut of d20 material out there from 3rd...

    D&D 4E DnD 4E DOA?

    Man, these damn 4.0 rumor threads have been popping up since the 3.5 were annouced. Enough of them already. There are no plans for a 4th edition of the rulebooks, WOTC has said this many times. PLEASE stop creating these damnable threads!

    Races of Eberron Cover Art and Petition

    People who think that an online petition ever has made even the slightest difference in ANYTHING need to start up an online petition to make me change my mind about them.

    Why so anti-Palladium

    I don't know of anything really documented. I've never really cared to much to go to google and type his name in and see what comes up. I can only relay my personally experiences, and those of a couple of friends who mine who knew them quite well from what I understand. Like I said before...

    Interaction of True Resurrection and Reincarnation

    My vote is human. IMHO, the spell should bring someone into the form they were BORN as, belief not playing a factor into it. If he was born human, a true rez spell should return them to their original human body. As far as "wish or miracle can return blah blah blah", no one has yet pointed...

    Why so anti-Palladium

    His wife isn't quite as bad as Kevin himself is, but Kevin sets the bar pretty low to begin with... He's pretty much a raving egomanic and a control freak, but Palladium is his baby, so it's not really so bad. He gets things done his way, and his company continues to make books in spite of it...

    Why so anti-Palladium

    "So by all your accounts they are just really lousy people who don't really care about their customer base?" No, quite the opposite. They are to protective of their products, they'd rather threaten and lose a few customers then have conversions produced that will lead to a drop in sells, and...

    Tome of Horrors III

    Necromancer Games brings you another volume in the series of monster books that made Monte Cook says "If a role playing game is a gun, then Tome of Horrors is a case of hollow point, explosive shells!" That has to be the worst tag line ever for an RPG product.

    "All halflings are heterosexual."

    I don't think anyone is taking into consideration that the GM knew the player was gay, and without knowing weither or not the player wanted to play a gay character, just came out and said "your race cannot be gay!" just to spite the player.

    Planescape Setting

    I really don't like Malhavok stuff, so I hope WOTC would be the ones to do it.

    Looting bodies. Eww.

    You're talking about adventurers who deal with death every day. If you DON'T loot the items from a dead body, chances are good that the next living thing to come accross the items will be evil. Every sword, every scrap of armor, and every copper coin you leave behind become the arms and...

    Things I Have Learned Switching From Player to DM

    1. That's your job. 2. It's your job to take that into account and scale challenges accordingly. 3. That's your job. 4. It's the player's job to make an interesting character concept, but you can help. 5. It's your job to make locales interesting, and avoid stale NPCs. 6. That's exactly...
