Interesting KM. I'm just more inclined to cut hp in half and dump Fate though. Okay, let me include: "KM! This is awsome! I loved it even more when it was called VP/WP and everyone thought of it one million years ago.":p

Shucks, I was hoping for 3.0. That's okay. BECMI boxes....pleeeeeeeaaaaaase?

Interesting article. I'm 100% in the wait-and-see camp and just look forward to whatever additional playtest materials come out.

My own personal stake is that I like swingy combat, pretty much at all levels. I like the traditional feel that at low levels, the risk of death was higher than at higher levels, but is offsetting in that to gain levels, you don't need to fight as much. My take on tweaking combat is basically...

I let the dice fall where they may. The PC's maybe heroes and stand against evil, but death should be the consequence of failure and that the campaign can end with Evil winning.

I would release the demon with full powers and all. If the PC's stand and fight, that's the way it goes.

I don't know about this one really. On one hand, I thought the first two movies were campy, but they were watchable. I think this one will be watchable as well, but definitely not worthy of name D&D. I think it's more aptly named Cheap Fantasy Movie 3: Book of Vile Darkness. For the life of me...

Unless using your brain and imagination nets you an IPO, I agree that there's little respect in our society for such endeavors.

You just described some of my past gaming groups. I should add grossly overweight, unemployable, and living in their mom's basement and then I got several of my past groups down pat, though I was lucky not to get Cat-piss Man in any of them (I dealt with those guys at cons). My current group is...

To the OP, I would do nothing. The reason why is that I too created a character that had a super high AC using just stuff from the 3.5 Core Rulebook when I played RPGA. My fighter at 5th level had full plate, tower shield, Combat Expertise, Dodge, and Mobility. All-in-all, I got my AC up to the...

My impression so far is that it's an interesting game, but it doesn't do anything to make me go, "Wow!". It's a game I can see myself playing for a one-shot or maybe playing in a tournament, but since my money went into Pathfinder, I don't see myself bailing on that investment to pick up 5e just...

To 36th level ;)

What I would like to know is how they got so much money to put this together if they actually honored their contracts and plan to do this much PR for a rpg. I don't even think WotC or Paizo could afford this kind of budget from travel expenses alone. I would be more inclined to say this is an...

I thought 3.5 had some issues, but I never thought those issues needed fixes. Once, you got into "fixing" one problem, then you realize you had to address another problem (w.g. eliminating BAB means working on AC too, then work on scaling math, then deal with DR, etc., etc.). When prepping my...

My wife is native Mandarin Chinese and completely fluent in English (graduated with top honors in Beijing Foreign Studies University). I think she can do it for Chinese, but she's pregnant now, so I'm not so sure of her schedule. I've seen some Chinese language games every time I visit China...

Interesting concepts.

That sums up my feelings.

If you know that the player is a problem before you start DMing, you can mitigate it with a social contract and also in your campaign primer. State how you'll run and what you will not tolerate. Outline the specific behaviors that will not be conducive to play. I find that this eliminates a lot...

I love these kinds of handouts.

The problem with crit charts is that you have to consider other issues such as anatomy of a humanoid vs. a monster (does a gibbering mouther have a head or an arm?) or size differences (how did a halfling crit a storm giant in the head with his great axe?). While playing with critical hit...
