    Are You Using the 4E Forgotten Realms as a Setting?

    I use it as scenery mostly. Forgotten realms was the first campaign setting I ever experienced as a player and I fell in love with it. in 3.x I used it sparingly, keeping things to "you are in Waterdeep, it streches out as far as you can see, and there are a million shops... and bad stuff is...

    d20 modern Failed...why? (or did it?)

    I bought the core book when it came out. Ran a quick one-shot and enjoyed it alot. I played a quick 2 shot as well, and liked it. But that's all the play that D20 Modern saw. D&D was the popular option of prefference and everyone wanted to play that before Modern even came up. I don't think...

    How to handle "shopping"?

    My shops have a constant "your level +2" limit on items. The magic stuff so far is balanced enough that nothing the PCs can buy will greatly change my game at all. I also do NOT let my players shop for eachother. I also look at the size of the town. a couple hundred to a couple thousand...

    Character Builder - Is it portable?

    Yeah, I honestly just misunderstood the OP. My bad. @ OP: Have you tried installing a second download onto a flash drive directly and running it strictly from there? That way you can update it at home.

    What Did You Want Fourth Edition to be Like?

    Let me start off by saying I am VERY satisfied with the gameplay I'm getting from 4e. I am happy with the system as it stands and find every monent I'm running the game fun and exciting. Yes, I've run into a couple "hiccups" but no more than when I first went from 2 to 3, or 3 to 3.5 ...

    Character Builder - Is it portable?

    The system allows for 5 downloads (I believe) and I've read it also allows 5 updates per user per Character builder update. If you realy need it on more than 5 computers, maybe you should just pay a second $6 a month

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    my notebook found its way into my washing machine... I couldn't salvage anything, so I gave up. I'll try again some other time... when my morale gets back up.

    Will the WOTC Gametable return or is it dead forever?

    The table top was definately somthing I was looking forward to as well. Even if it was a dumbed down 2.5D version instead of 3D... or just a grid and tokens like some of the ones I've seen. Just one that works would be welcome in my little world.

    Piracy

    I don't know what to answer without incriminating myself. I HAVE bought every book I have. I believe the digital copies fall under fair use. I'd realy much rather carry my 1lb laptop to work than 5-10 books.

    How Do You Narrate/Present Skill Challenges

    As far as narration goes, it depends on my mood. Normaly I just say what's happening and let the players decide their cource of action. When it comes to skill challenges, my players are like deer in the headlights. Unless I actively tell them "This is a skill challenge, roll some dice" they...

    Palladium system question

    Palladium is definately a harder system than D20. I don't know about the new stuff but the game is all template based. You pick your template, make your character and go on from there. Character creation takes a while, and it is definately fun to build and personalize what your character can...

    Character builder rocks, so...

    What I would like to see with the character builder is a "user made content" or "input your own data" function so I can add my own personal setting options, or 3rd party material to the options presented in the currant character builder.

    Home made game systems

    Do home-made supliments to existing RPGs count? :-S I tried making rules systems from scratch. I even used FUDGE to try making a system from scratch, but I always seem to miss things or forget major details and generally what I make becomes un-fun. However I can make or improve on ideas for...

    Forked Thread: Should players know the rules?

    Sometimes I get frustrated with a couple of my players. Granted they were new to the game when we started, but it's been 6 months and niether of them seem to know their character at all. The female n00b is getting a little better, but the male n00b is still falling behind the class. The male...

    Hey Rouse! (a couple things about the character builder)

    I've encountered a couple things in the character builder. The first of which is when I clicked "Report a bug" I was sent to a "change my password" screen, not the bug reporting screen. The second was the bug I found. In powers where there is a burst effect that changes over levels, the cards...

    Why were Action Points changed from 3e to 4e?

    The old action points were "introduced" in Ebberron. I don't remember them being a big thing before it came out... so lets pretend no one noticed they existed until Eberron. Now its a new edition, and Eberron isn't out yet. I smell an Eberron spacific set of rules... or even feats that have to...
