A bit off topic, but this is where Morrus needs to sweep in and unveil that gamer map application he is working on. I believe the idea is that it would show Enworld members and where they lived so you can find people in your area. I would even go so far as to say it should have a profile with...

Certainly there has been the mindset from the beginning of the hobby that the game is mine (me personally) and ours (gamers, my group, the colletctive hobby, etc). The lead designers from WotC are gamers and fall into that "ours" category as well. We have been trained since the days of Gygax...

Piratecat, I am reporting this thread to the mods. The mule controversy is clearly a veiled edition wars thread and it is destroying the Enworld community. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

We used a combination of d20 modern and twilght 2000. The TW2000 was used to resolve weapons combat. The system essentially uses location rolls to hit people. Armor subtracts damage and cover is based on location. If you are standing behind a 3ft wall and the attacker rolls legs, the bullet...

I believe it was 2E box set dragon mountain....has multiple quests you have to overcome to make the mountain appear in order to get to the dragon. One of them involved defending a town against and invading kobold hoard. Something like 300-400 kobolds. Kobolds are nice because they can get...

Although I don't play any 4E the same problem reminds me of when a Rakshasa held a 9th level fighter for 18 rounds in a 2E game. Not too fun for the player until I gave him the powerful minion and said do your worst. Not to get edition warsy, but that was part of my personal problem with 4E...

We go to Toronto once a year to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Don't ask why it sort of is a tradition and a long story. We always go the weekend of the Beer Festival (married the right lady:D). I always stop into a comic shop/game store in down town. It is painted outside with really...

This really reeks of an experimental model. I'm not trying to start an edition wars or talk about 5E, but I am really having flashbacks to Alternity and its percursor status/impact on 3E. I think 5E is way way off, but they are trying a new game/business model. It worries me they are doing...

So confused.....I thought you said role D20. In which case I have been wandering around muttering numbers off for years.

Looking at the OD&D link, the family wants to keep this private. Suggest you delete the thread.

....puts pitchfork and torches away......;)

Whoa you guys are literalists! I used fireball as a generic name for an offensive spell...insert any spell's name. Yes, I realize that you can optimize spells against certain opponents. My point is that at high levels my experience is that the wizard did all or none damage due to saves and...

I'll give you a few concrete examples. We were around 15th level. The plan was to scout out a castle prior to an assault the next day. The wizard is far better at this. He can cast invisibility, silence 15 ft radius, and fly to get over the wall. Alternatively he could cast change self and...

As for the whole wizard/cleric can do anything better than the other classes.....why would you? Sure I can be invisible and hide better than the rogue, but I wasn't memorizing invisibility every day because we had a rogue in the party. Same is true for knock. Sure if I want to be an a-hole...

My only issue is the potential arms race that always occurs with DnD. Here are X number of new races which are all "different" but equally "balanced" for gameplay. Eventually you run out of combinations that still work for the game. This is obviously an entirely different issue but when the...

Asking the mods is always a good answer, but if I were a mod I don't know if I really would want to be saddled with the challenge of investigating this. That's why I wonder if these thing should be kept out of the public domain and better left to the personal messaging side of things.

The mods have done an outstanding job in this difficult time. This thread allows a little healing process for the community which is appreciated. I would pose this question to the mods. Please realize I am not trying to flame and this is not a disagreement with how things were handled. This...

You mean that you don't want to hear how Diaglo is the lead author for 5th edition, the one true edition?

I was pretty suspicious to start with....I am a medical doctor. In my limited experience people don't slip off into comas without some traumatic brain injury, serious infectious illness, or dramatic seizure activity. Most of these are diagnosed with CT/MRI, lumbar puncture (spinal tap), and...

Ari and Mercutio01 or any other creative artists here, I ask the two of you as our representative artists, given the above scenario of someone purchasing your book and downloading an illegal pdf copy, would you feel appropriately compensated? I totally agree the act of distribution is illegal...
