Finally saw this. I thought it was awesome. Well, except when Big Daddy and Hit Girl weren't on screen... the high school romance stuff was tedious. But Hit Girl alone was worth the price of admission. Interesting that Kick-Ass thinks of BD and HG as "the real deal" when actually they're...

Right. You don't need other planes because Athas is hell. If there were other planes that you could actually survive on, the campaign would be over as soon as the PCs could access them. Because only a total screwball would stay on Athas willingly... the place is just one jot above "all human...

That's interesting, mkill. I also just found a Goodman / Blackdirge PDF of the stats for some of the more well-known Cthulhu monsters in 4E (Critter Cache 6: Lovecraftian Bestiary). That is very interesting as well. I suppose another option, going along with the Lovecraftian stuff would be to...

Has there been a printing of the 4E PHB that includes the errata, or not yet?

Thanks for the replies. LS, I really like those rituals. That's the kind of stuff I would be looking for. For this sort of thing, it would be interesting if one or more of the PCs was interested in using ritual magic. All the more opportunities for ethically questionable adventure.

I had a stray thought regarding running a 4E game. Probably nothing will come of it, but I thought I'd run it by you people since you're all well-versed in this sort of thing. It would be intended to be different from the way 4E usually plays (I tried it and didn't like it). I would be...

Wait... is that a euphemism for fisticuffs?

The really bizarre thing is, if you invested all those resources into Intimidate, chances are you were actually worse at combat than somebody who just invested everything into butt-whoopin'. So DeathDealer the Barbarian (who dump-statted CHA and instead of Skill Focus: Intimidate took...

Sorry! And alas, no digital camera. I spent all my money on minis and Conflict of Heroes games. I think the newly-released Lasalle may finally push me over the edge and into Napoleonics. After my US 3 AD I've got some Polybian Romans (also 15s) to do up. After that... it may be time for...

Out of curiosity, if someone were to try to start running 4E Dark Sun starting with no 4E materials, what is he supposed to have? Like 3 PHBs (I, II & III) and 3 DMGs plus the DS specific books? It seems like at this point there's a huge investment required for folks who would want to start.

I just spent several hours painting 15mm American WWII combat engineers. I was being facetious.

Then they should have just removed the dice.

Someone rolled a '1' on his Craft: Role Playing Game skill check? ;) I like a simple Morale mechanic (like in Classic D&D) as a handy gauge for whether the monsters are ready to fight to the last, or hoof it. Still, it's not an absolute essential.

That review had certain flaws. :erm:

Much of the essence of the 1974 OD&D lies in this: its essence is that it has no essence. By which I only mean that the barest skeleton is provided, and each Referee will judge it differently. Supplement I: Greyhawk is only the Gygax house rules; other supplements by other authors could be their...

Interesting. Is there a game element, like somebody gets something for telling the best story / biggest load of minotaur spoor?

It's true that WOTC's ToS for the fora isn't the same as charging a monetary fee. It's also true that WOTC is benefitted by a clause protecting it from legal action. And it's also true that some people wouldn't care if WOTC deliberately used their idea... in fact, probably a fair number of...

Od&d (1974).

That may be true. I want to clarify that I'm not saying that policy, if indeed it is their policy, is a bad one... only that it means that the board isn't actually free.

Is it the case that everything you post there is owned by WOTC? I had thought that was part of the deal at some point. If that is true (which I'm not sure about) then it isn't really free.
