    Just how desperate are you?

    Well I don't have that problem, as I have to refuse players from my tables due to lack of time, need to sleep, and too much popularity. It depends what he gives you for food, but really no 10$ don't seem excessive to me. What I've done for this is that we have a stock of munchies and sodas...

    The Qullan lives!

    Hey, you the one who created them ? Kudos ! I always thought it was a damn shame they have not been updated since FF. You sure you do not want to do a 3.X version ?

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: How Should it Handle High Level Dependence on Magic Items, ie the "Big 6"

    Yeah sure. It's true. but if you really want to have an enjoyable session, you just don't have to go with every single point of 3e (or any other e). My take to this to my players is : give me a wishlist of loot. Then we'll see what you really get.

    Rant -- GM Control, Taking it Too Far?

    I usually am in the "DMs are Right, now Shut up ! " camp. However, at this rate, yes, it is going too far. Tell him bluntly this is too much, and change Dm if he does not get the message.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: How Should it Handle High Level Dependence on Magic Items, ie the "Big 6"

    How about not distributing these items by the cartload when you are the DM ?

    What is THE classic dragon-hunting/slaying adventure?

    dunno about you, but ... Back in 1e, when I was young and handsome ... :cool: We were all students and all so cash:o poor that we wrote all our modules and could maybe afford to buy a published one once a year ! And we gamed every weekend, so that meant, we had to write most of what we played...

    4e: A work in progress?

    This is purely a matter of personal taste. For me, 3e worked and was complete because it was a self contained system and was directly playable off the PHB, and more importantly in the spirit of previous editions. By the same standards, a lot of the later 3.5 stuff, including BO9S and PHB2 are...

    The Nature of Change (or, Understanding Edition Wars)

    Thank you to the OP for opening this wonderful thread. I think some of my reasons (not all) for not wanting anything to do with 4e is indeed resistance to change. Darrin earlier mentioned workspace change. A few years back, the company I worked with introduced a new process for handling...

    Do you not play WOW? Forked Thread: Wil Wheaton plays and reviews 4th.

    I have tried many MMORPGs, and while I enjoy them for a brief time, I rarely make it past the trial period. They can't keep my interest like D&D ever did. Or even like a good solo video game (like Fallout 3) ever did.

    Yes, they did. Or at least, they told me so. You should find my name in the order list, ordered by my friend M. B. with delivery at my name (F. M.) Thanks for the great job.

    WotBS Pre-order your WotBS hardcover now and save $25 on the full price!

    Yes, but they still block me, saying that this card is registered in an account ... that no longer exists. And their customer service does not answer queries ... Ah, i'll have to see my bank and change number. Or find a friend willing to order for me. Thanks all anyways.

    Will there be any other way than Paypal to get it ? I had once a paypal account, but I closed it. Now, I can create another one, but they refuse to take my credit card, because it was registered in the old one. Any suggestions (besides changing card ?)

    Edition-Crossing Adventures

    I ran all of 1e in 2e. I ran the original TOEE, Border watch and some DUNGEON modules in 3e, and then a full 1e/2e campaign in Greyhawk using 3.5 (at least 20 modules). Conversion is usually easy, once you learn to ignore the printed stats and take the equivalent in the current system. And...

    Are you familiar with these obscure monsters?

    I think the Deodanth is from jack vance, IIRC. probably Cugel. otherwise, I remember 1 and 4, and that's it. Damn, with all the 10488 monsters I have in my Access database, and you still manage to foil me on this one ... Congrats !

    Passports, please!

    Papers as such did not exist before the French revolution, but there were church registries in every village. If your identity was in doubt, you could be detained until a messenger could be sent to your birthplace to verify it. Well, if they thought that you were worth the bother, that is...

    PC starts a town: DM panics...

    I had the situation in my campaign a few years back in 2e. Rules were not such a problem, as we had a very liberal play style. What was interesting to us though, was : so we have a keep and a village springing in the wilderness, who comes to settle it ? My answer was : Escaped slaves spies...
