    Quest Rewards for Larger Parties

    I was only replying to what you wrote, and the inference of those words. So, the relevant parts you made red were: So ^^ this was replying to.. You kind of did. You were happy to not be compensated at quest completion because you received XP. Therefore others should be is the logical...

    {Hypothetical Thought Exercise} A cosmic being annihilates your favorite version of D&D...

    Really? 3.0 (classic)? I'm not saying it isn't a good game (I've never really played just 3.0 - I've done 3.5 stuff with 3.0 to fill in some holes). Is there a reason why you play 3.0 over 3.5 or PF for example? I'm curious if it is a specific mechanical thing that convinces you 3.0 is better...

    Quest Rewards for Larger Parties

    First, this is from 2009 so I don't think the question in the OP is really relevant anymore - I'm sure they've solved the problem or given up a long time ago. Way to necro though. As far as your advice, I don't entirely agree. No one likes to be stiffed on a job well done. There are numerous...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Q&A: 12/06/13

    New Rule of Three, not seeing a thread about it already so, here's the link: http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dndqa/20131205 Thoughts?

    Pathfinder 1E Do we care about what it's doing? Ultimate Campaign

    This is actually a book I have recently really got into; exploring what it has and what I can take (and sometimes modify) for my own games. I'm actually just starting up a solo pirate game for my cousin very soon, and I think the downtime mechanics are going to be invaluable for the game I plan...

    {Settings Tournament} Round 4 - Semifinals!

    Honestly, when this goes to the next round, if planescale vs. greyawk, I'm going to have to make a REALLY tough decision. I honestly don't know if I can choose. It's like choosing between air and water - when it comes to survival. Ideally I want both - could that be included in the next poll...

    D&D 5E (2014) Renamed: Wandering Monsters 2 weeks later

    With greater reliance on coral and bone, I think I remember seeing something like this ... was it in one of the campaign guides? I think there is definitely room for more of an (deep) undersea civilization dwelling merfolk. I however also think that the article got it not terribly far from the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Renamed: Wandering Monsters 2 weeks later

    Maybe so, but really I don't understand this reply. What about it being polled at 16% is important to what I said? I mean, I selected kobold as well, so I'm one of that 16% but it doesn't negate the poll options being terrible. I voted on each of the polls. And like usual I found the polls to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Renamed: Wandering Monsters 2 weeks later

    At this point I guess should be used to the terrible poll questions, but the dragon ones are bad on a whole new level. There is no option for multiple selections (half-dragon and kobold), to tell him that half-dragons =/= dragonborn or kobolds, or even kobolds =/= dragonborn. No options for...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Q&A 11/22/13

    Nah, once a thread like this starts going it is going to keep going; Sorcerer wins this time. Plus, the armor answer was a non-answer. Also, that spells should not eliminate skills answer has been around for months. We won't see enough of any of these until release - that's what I'm getting lately.

    D&D 5E (2014) A lesson I hope WotC learns from Paizo (with regards to 5E)

    The point you originally made was that 300 page book scares people off. Now you are changing that point ans so I'll accept that you meant what you are NOW saying instead of "I showed them a 300 page book and want of a game died." I just want to add first that 300 pages isn't a problem by...

    D&D 5E (2014) A lesson I hope WotC learns from Paizo (with regards to 5E)

    To which I'm sure you replied, "No, of course not, you need to worry about your character sheet. I do the heavy lifting as a DM and even I don't need to read all of this." Or I guess not, since.. And thus Christmas was ruined. Because reading is hard. The other way to look at this, for any...

    Pathfinder 1E Advanced Class Guide Playtest Rules

    I know exactly how you feel. I'm also designing an RPG and I also have Shamans. And while I felt similar to you when I read this (and when I saw your own thread) and others about how these things just keep popping up when I thought I had a pretty unique idea. But I don't think that either of us...

    How big is Baldur's gate?

    I think it depends on what technological level FR is set. I know when I was doing research for my own setting I decided to squew earlier in history as opposed to the later (and larger) population numbers. In my setting it ranges from 100-200 million worldwide, a population which I think is...

    Okay maybe I'm just not seeing it.. but what's the difference between Eric Noah and the Half Fiend Love Child? It looks the same to me.

    Arrow/bow that makes a line attack?

    Order of the Bow Initiate has something similar if not the exact thing you are describing. It was in Complete Warrior. EDIT: Okay maybe not. I just double checked and didn't see it there. I'm going to do some digging. I played an OOBI [and] had that ability so I think I can find it. Second...

    D&D 5E (2014) L&L November 4th Warlock Design

    Actually, I kind of like that. I only worry that most vampires the PCs are going to encounter aren't going to have that vulnerability. I'm sure it could work though, I like this idea as some kind of way to level up vamps. This was my first thought too, but I wonder how much what you're...

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

    I highly doubt he would spin it to further some grudge against anyone. I do think it is likely he would spin it so you can view his company and his efforts in a better light. "Oh the playtests are going well, that means the game is improving," is a likely reaction to what he said. Similarly...

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

    At this point all I can do is ignore people like Herschel, he has posted nothing of value as far as the topic goes and instead insults me based on my signature. He has gone out of his way to do so even after my explanation that being a jerk or insulting or whatever is not my intention, it was to...

    D&D 5E (2014) How close will the final product be to the last playtest?

    Honestly I don't even remember what my specific objections were - I could do some digging - as I remember distinctly disliking many of the proposed changes. I happen to have a rather fuzzy memory for little (and sometimes large) details the further away from something I get. What I do remember...
