My last campaign was all about a war between Bahmut and Tiamat and involved dragons of all alignments. I also played in an evil campaign and we were going around slaughtering good dragons. So I don't think you speak just for yourself.

What you are assuming is that if it was not for Pathfinder the people who didn't like 4E would have just sucked it up and switched. I think you are wrong they either would have kept playing 3E or switched to another system. I see this argument a lot that Pazio split the fanbase but I think the...

I am curious about how other DMs handle allowing players to change out characters? In the game I am playing in the DM decided to switch mid game from 3E DnD to Hero system. While I support the switch I did not like how the conversion changed my character. I want to make another character and...

I made the decision that I don't want to try and convert this character. There is just to many changes that effect the story so far. Story consistency is important to me. I support him switching to Hero I do think it is a better fit for his game. I wrote him this and I also explained that if...

That was only part of it. A lot of players myself included felt that many of the changes changed the flavor of the game. It was also very hard to convert characters because the power curve dropped. And of course just saying anything negative got the 4E fans enraged and vice versa. That is the...

I have not looked at fifth edition. I am firmly and happily stuck playing third edition. But I remember the arguments and name calling that went on when Shadowrun fourth came out. I don't understand edition wars just play what you like. Of course since I disliked fourth edition Shadowrun and...

I will have to look on how he did the spells I got a little lost when he was describing it all while we were doing it. I have the books and I understand more than I did before last night so I will try smd figure it out. I will ask about some of the suggestions like spell book as a limitation. I...

The GM worked with all of us. We had 75 points to work with. With disads we got up to 120. He did use some multipowers and he did elemental controls with the druid. I also took a ton of restrictions like I have to have both hands free to make gestures, I have to concentrate, use incantations...

That may be why you watch some movies but not me first and foremost I want to be entertained. If I want to learn about depression I will read about it not watch a movie with how a depressed person faces the end of the world. BTW way depressed people don't have a hive mind and don't face all...

I remember watching him play. The perfect season is still a high point for so many of us Dolphin's fans.

After a delay we converted our characters tonight. The fighter was very happy he ended up with a much stronger character. The druid was okay she lost a few things but is okay with what she got. My character the wizard/dread necromancer got gutted. I lost my familiar, I lost the ability to scribe...

First of all I don't want to get into an internet debate about taste in movies. It all comes down to personal preferences. I don't want to spend my time watching a movie or TV show about the mob and the causal violence of their lives. In no way does this enrich my life or even entertain me. If...

I have never yet met a fan of the genre who does not around quoting the movie and viewing these men as heroes. And often in society at times these men were glorified. Read up on the history of Las Vegas or the Kray twins of England and how society viewed them even after the horrible violence...

I can't watch slasher porn. I see no point to them other than to watch people suffering and dying. I feel the same way about most films about the mob again evil people often being glorified. I can't stand Jim Carrey so I avoid his films.

I highly recommend Katherine Kurtz Deyni series. They are well written set in a pseudo medeval world with a strong church sometimes at odds with a magical race. Kurtz has a degree in history and her books ring true because of this. Judith Tarr has some excellent stand alone novels as well as...

Adoption is an option but beware that some agencies will not allow people in their forties to adopt so you might have to go private or out of country. Adoption can cost more than having a baby. There are good reasons not to adopt a baby first of all less of a waiting list. You to get to avoid...

Of course both are a way to pace the game and there is nothing wrong with choosing not to continue the encounter the way you planned because you don't think the party can handle it. Just like there is nothing wrong with the style of play of letting the dice fall where they may and running an...

I disagree but then I know the DM and have played with him and he does not railroad he is always scrupulously fair and imo is a fantastic DM. It sounded to me exactly what it was a whiny spoiled player. Throwing a tantrum at a table it is a sign of immaturity. I would boot any player who...

The players also had a tantrum over it. One actually said that the DM is not allowed to to do that it is cheating. They had this real entitlement issue that as PC they had rights that the DM was not allowed to violate because that was how the game was designed. In that situation as a player...

I don't run or play 4E. This situation I described happened to a friend who runs both 4E and Pathfinder. He often runs into this mindset with 4E players. And I would hate to see this kind of mindset carrying into 5E.
