I think of the ranger as a few things. Dexterity driven. (including hiding and nimbleness...from this maybe the two fighting styles mentioned, but only peripherally). Wilderness master (as opposed to tree-hugger). Here I'm thinking of Survivorman (who is great) and Bear Gryllis (who is...

Mostly I just want 5e to take the best of all prior editions and cobble together a fantastic D&D experience. I want that to the degree that I hope they restrain themselves from introducing too many new rules or elements that don't hearken back to at least one (but ideally more than one) prior...

DarkSasha I've pledged for the RA kickstarter...I'm very excited about it! A question: has it already been written/laid out/converted/etc? I'm wondering what kind of timeframe to expect for the final product. Thanks.

A-Z would be a fine way to do it, but I demand more Sharktopus (TV 2010) - IMDb SHARKTOPUS FOREVER!

I'm starting to wonder if we have a character class here (or prestige class/kit). The "heckled bard" (alignment any, but frequently: "misguided stupid") Abilities: *Skin like stone (never fails an intimidate or diplomacy check...is confident in self and of product, even when wrong and...

Not so sure on the timeframe. Not so sure on the timeframe. I bought the special edition on 6/13/2012. I've yet to hear of an update or receive it. In the meantime, I've placed orders with RPGnow (in print, not just pdf), Paizo, Amazon, and Nobleknight games. All orders AFTER this order...

There is an out of print book for Tarot Magic that might be of use to you. SADLY it doesn't actually use tarot cards, but uses dice to roll for certain tarot card mechanics. However, it may be easily adaptable for pure tarot materials. Amazon.com: Tarot Magic (d20 Fantasy Roleplaying...

Ok, point. :p

Could you link (or re-post) your modification...I'm slogging through the "I love Orzel" thread right now...but it's taking a while to get past all the "+1 for the bandwagon posts". (Course I'm on the bandwagon too.) I really like the Orzel option, but I'd also tweak it by adding that you...

Ah, I wasn't clear in my first sentence. What I meant is that in the video that you mention there's no reason to exclude rpgs as art. I was giving one reason why rpg products could potentially be excluded, but then reconsidered. However, I think it is important to have an understanding of the...

Since that link isn't immediately obvious (goes to top of page), I'll cite the relevant stuff (feel free to add to the OP if you like). And I personally very much like it...sorta like 3e's domains, or pathfinder's bloodlines...it's especially useful against that creature type, but is useful...

Yes, but Battleship has a 34% tomatometer and a 56% of fans liking it. The original Dungeons and Dragons has a 10% tomatometer and 26% of fans liking it. It's THAT bad.

I've read the whole thread, but I mainly just wanted to respond to two things: 1. Yes, hit points, levels, and other gamist conceits have always been there. Adding more gamist conceits makes the game more gamist. Some are fine with that. Some prefer that. Some dislike that. It's a matter of...

My preference is 1 and 1/2 per turn as follows: I'd like to see one action allowed per character on their turn. I'd also like to see one action allowed per character not on their turn. Ideally, the second would be to keep players paying attention and invested in the game because they'd be...

Ok, WHAT THE HELL??!??!? We have: Dungeons & Dragons (2000) - IMDb 3.6 stars Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005) - IMDb 4.8 stars Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (Video 2008) - IMDb 4.8 stars Dungeons & Dragons (TV Series 1983) - IMDb (The old cartoon got 7.8 stars)...

I do have a reason to potentially exclude RPG products, which I came upon while mulling over a potential RPG product. For RPGs, there is the product, and then there is the experience of using that product. The experience is much more variable than, say, the experience of seeing the Mona Lisa...

Walking Dad that's a good point. No, it needn't be serious to be art...but it needs to be evocative. If a beer and pretzles game makes you think or makes you feel (preferably an emotion with some complexity or depth), then, sure, that could be art as well. And, yes, storytelling games can...

1. No medium is inherently art. 2. Any medium can be utilized to create art. That's really all there is to it (in a learn the rules in two seconds, take a lifetime to master them sorta way). Painting my house isn't art. Singing happy birthday isn't art. Writing a grocery list isn't...

Oh, and regarding Cardinal Thorn...any thoughts on fleshing out his character? I'm thinking that having him somewhat "representative of the genre", or as your players said, cliche, might be good in a way. Straying too much from the standard might focus more on him and less on the interesting...

Spoilers, spoilers everywhere! My players are just one lone session in. They have no thief and had a good plan to get out (using mage hand, sleep, command, etc) with several contingencies as well. Well, I, as DM roll in front of em. That lone guard just COULDN'T fail a save. Eventually...
