    Supporter Account Expired?

    I just noticed today that I cannot longer do searches etc with my account. Does this mean my supporter account has expired? Should I have received an e-mail or a notice on my account somewhere that it was due? A little confused...

    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    That's good to know thanks for the update. As a sidenote- Only 300+ people donated? I mean that is great and I am proud to be one of them but it kind of galls me that there are so many people who use this site who would not put up anything to help it. Yet they come and suck up bandwidth and...

    Pathfinder 1E A gripey letter to Paizo

    I have had subs to both for years. The only problems I have had were a string of getting the issues late right ater Paizo took over. As of late everything has been running smoothly for me. Sorry to hear about your difficulties and I am glad to see that Keith stepped in personally to help.

    Games Workshop Financial results

    Not unexpected given the fade of LoTR-mania. What I find interesting is that the biggest portion of their sales comes from their own stores. It always makes me wonder why WoTC could not keep their own stores profitable/open. It seems like a guaranteed way to grow the hobby.

    You are in charge of WOTC.......

    !) I would try a line of boxed adventures that included a well written adventure (with good editing), full-color grid maps for play, all of the pre-painted plastic figures needed to represent the main encounters in the module. Add in approprate electronic support for the module online for those...

    Iron Heroes - I have it in my hands!

    As I read it most people/humanoids in the world do not have tokens and such. They are NPC classes like warrior or expert that we are already familiar with and thus very simple to run. In IH the heroes really are a step above the norm, much more so than in 3.5- of course since they are...

    My first Iron Heroes... er, umm... Hero!

    I agree somewhat about the jump from studded leather to chain not being worth it but then again I have always felt that way about medium armors, in most d20 systems I have seen there is the same problem. The movement lost and additional penalites are never worth the small bump in protection...

    I got to play d20 "A Game of Thrones" this weekend.

    Any details on the modifications to the combat system would be appreciated. Is it like Black Company, Grim Tales or Iron Heroes? Or something new?

    Firefly - I just don't get it

    While I love the show, it is not for everyone. It really is more of a western aventure than a sci-fi show in the traditional sense and that turns some people off. Also some people do not like Joss' style of dialogue and charaterization, it kind of has a campy-ness all of its own. I was never a...

    A Radical (Not to Mention Controversial) Change to Characteristic Determination

    I always thought the housecat vs peasant issue was more indicative of not enough granularity in the HP system. Some attacks should not do the 1hp minimum they should do like .01 of a hp or something equally small.

    Climb and Rope: Pulling someone up?

    Hmmm that would be as fast as a character climbing with a 40' move rate. I guess that part of the question would be house rules, I was hoping for an actual clarification that I missed in one of the books so I posted here :D

    Stats for Oxen?

    A somewhat mundane question but here goes:) Are there any stats for Oxen? I considered the ones for Bison in the MM but a 22 str seemed rather strong, considering a heavy horse/Clydesdale only has a 16. At a 22 str it makes it a superior draft animal at only 15gp, since overland wagon/cart...

    Climb and Rope: Pulling someone up?

    The 3.5 PHB says it is possible to pull a character up a wall with rope thus negating the need for a climb check by that character. What I cannot find listed is the rate of ascent for this maneuver? It seems like it would be pretty slow or maybe based on the strength to weight ratios of...

    How to get these rogues off my back....

    Actually a rogue of the right level could still sneak attack the barbarian all day, as per 3.5 SRD: (emphasis mine) Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex) At 5th level and higher, a barbarian can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the barbarian by flanking him...

    Iron Heroes - I have it in my hands!

    I think the challenge with spell casters is that, depending on spell list, they can use their abilities outside of combat, where as the melee types seem to only be able to build tokens during a fight. If a caster could just cast spells all day outside of combat via using an action to gain mana...

    [CA] Imbue Familiar with Spell Ability

    That is basically the way we ran it IMC too. Although we did have the familiar need a spell pouch too if it was not in contact with the caster when it used the stored spells. In hindsite I think using up the components when the spell is imbued would be better. It is a very nice spell, makes up...

    How often do you game?

    Not often enough.... :( It is about 2.5 times a month right now with the occasional 3 week gap. Everyones schedules have become tough to syncronize as we have gotten older. Once a week would be good minimum to keep my addiction fed. Of course if I could squeeze in the time I would play more...

    Iron Heroes - I have it in my hands!

    I can see the need for the increased BAB and the Saves, as past level 10 a good portion of a standard characters total comes from magic items, i.e. a level 20 fighter probably has a +5 sword thus BAB +25. Most characters get resistance items to buff Saves so once again without magic an increase...
