Lords of Madness Libris Mortis Book of Erotic Fantasy ...what?

I saw that article earlier today. I have no idea why any of them were frightened. I'm thinking it might be some kind of hoax or something.

If you're going to buy the books, you probably don't need R&C or W&M. They're just preview stuff, you'll get the finalized materials in the core.

Downer Endings: Not sure I understand what you're saying here. The series hasn't ended. Main Characters do die, but it doesn't seem to be purposeless, if that's what you're referring to. Violent Rape Scenes: Did you actually read the books? It's stated clearly that rape happens in the...

I'm undecided, although I plan on going ahead and preordering it. I know I'm going to end up playing the game whether I find the system compelling or not. My purchase of non-core material, however, will be very directly related to how much I like it.

There's a new game coming out, Eldritch Roleplaying, from Goodman Games. To my eye, it looks like BECMI and Savage Worlds had a baby.

Sounds like we maybe shouldn't expect them in the first PHB then.

Huh. Thanks, guys. Seems like a lot of people like it. I'll consider doing a more detailed writeup and sketchy campaign outline later. I think there's been enough rules-stuff posted that I could start to at least theorize. Is anyone that interested?

Please do! I'm a huge fan of cross-pollination.

Craft skills are apparently insufficiently fun. He actually gets a nuclear bomb he can use as a daily power. I kid.

Actually, how much easier solo play looks to be is one of my major +s for 4E. You could maybe give the character a few extra powers, and use a lot of Minion-level baddies. I think you'd maybe be alright.

Well, they might be able to score it with a feat or something.

Thanks for liaising for us in what must be a very difficult time for you all. There's no hurry for any of this, please take your time.

This is what I was thinking. Maybe a gigantic, concerted donation to Child's Play (Penny Arcade's big charitable thing - they donate video games and stuff to children's hospitals, or children in hospital. Something like that.)

I loved doing stuff like this in Burning Wheel, Spirit of the Century, The Mountain Witch, and plenty of other games. The major hazard of it is that you have to have players who are pretty much on-board. It can take a little bit for some people, esp. if they've been playing for a long time, to...

If it's a daily, I'd go with cancelling their spell on a hit, giving a penalty on a miss. If it's a per-encounter, giving them a penalty on a hit seems about right. Especially since subtracting your primary spellcasting stat is likely to amount to -4 or -5, and that's fairly serious.

I'm trying to drum up support for something like this over on RPG.net. So, there is a non-trivial amount of interest. I was thinking maybe something like a memorial fund?

That's top class, right there. You just earned yourself another pre-order. I'm going to go raise a glass.

It looks to me like you'll be rolling a lot of saves in this game. A +1 to all of them would be pretty good. Especially if the "get worse/don't get worse" checks you make when in negative HP is considered a save for these purposes.

Well, please note all that stuff about making sure Noobs don't make bad decisions. Suggesting a character concept that is mechanically sub-optimal, for flavor purposes, doesn't seem like the sort of direction they'd go in the PHB. I think it's far more likely that their class abilities are...
