    Your favorite sword from D&D lore

    Black Razor and Fedifensor were both in my early campaigns from the modules. In grade school we all wanted Excalibur from Deities and Demigods.

    How would you represent a Warg-type PC from A Game of Thrones?

    I have been thinking about how to represent the Warg/skinchanger powers from GRRM books. I was looking at the Sentinel with perhaps a theme (? not sure what they are called I have not kept up), to make up the additonal powers. What would yawl do for a PC?

    Tell me the composition of your campaign groups

    Current Campaign: House Grant, a 4e D&D campaign in a world inspired by G.R.R. Martin. Only we have a little more magic, monsters, and dungeon-crawling. PC's James Marbrand Grant (Second son to a very minor northern house) Human, Male, Fighter-Battlerager Aldus Hervarik (From the Far South of...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    I am not familiar with either system. What do you think in the changes caused players to balk?

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    Keeping with the oWoD/nWoD theme, what other games went through a big fall off after changes? I am not sure if Shadowrun qualifies as I have not played in the recent era. There seems to be some discontent with the new WHFRP but I have no experience with the system or the player base numbers...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Announces More Details about Minis Line

    I am interested in these depending on how the production paints look. I am wondering however why they are so much higher in price than WotC retail you would think a company like WK would have enough volume to provide competitive prices.

    Legends and Lore: Modular Madness

    I believe also that it is a reference to the original Dark Sun setting where the characters started off more powerful to make up for the lethality of the setting. I don't know if it is a good design idea but it is in keeping with the original version of the setting.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    Despite my post on digitalization I agree with Aber. There should always be hardcopy books available is stores. Perhaps lesser print runs or even POD but it is still a good idea.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    To Reply to The Auld Grump: Yes I think the pull back on the release schedule is a good thing overall. It will give them time to adjust to the internal restructure and keep from over saturating the market. I think they are looking to pursue a digital option. Were I a rich man who just bought...

    LCD Gamign Tables?

    Those look really cool. Would the normal gaming software packages recognize it or would there need to be custom programing?

    LCD Gamign Tables?

    Thanks for the info. I had not thought about the horizontal versus vertical issue. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

    Your intro to RPGs

    Let's see it was 1982 aqnd I was in 4th grade and the red box that got me and 3 friends started. We quickly moved onto AD&D after a few months and I can remember buying the books in Toys R Us along with these really cool metal things that looked like they could be characters :) (no one worried...

    LCD Gamign Tables?

    LCG Gaming Tables? (Cursed poor typing) I did not want to clutter the thread on projectors but I am curious to hear from those who have gone the LCD flatscreen route for a gaming surface. What size do you use? What resolution do you play in? etc.

    Interesting Tweet

    I hope it means old stuff and new in some sort of ebook format. It eliminates most of wotcs piracy concerns (legit or not) and would see a new market venue via something like amazon.

    Zero to Hero!

    That does not match my experiences. While my character may not be menaced by a single housecat anymore, out first level parties regularly find themselves with their backs against the wall and survival coming down to some wits and a few well timed lucky rolls. My current character can take...

    5e Is Like the Girlfriend You Broke Up With Last Year

    Does that mean that I would be moving on to her younger hotter sister if I picked up PF?

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    Wanted to add in how much I love this system. It is so easy to GM. It is a great break from 3.5/4e for me (which I still love btw). Totally different feel than 3.5/4e and I think that variety keeps me from getting burned on any one system. Some points of difference that I have found...

    How to make an AGoT Maester?

    I am taking part in a 4e campaign heavily inspired by GRRM's A Game of Thrones series and HBO show. I have been pondering how to represent a Maester type PC. It would not have to be completely non-magical but the fluff for the effects should be low key. I am thinking either Leader or...

    New Legends and Lore:Head of the Class

    True, without more detail of implementation it could devolve to that. Hopefully there is enough modularity to allow it. I guess the ideal would be complete granularity for the DM to determine what he wants to allow, a more fine tuned version than todays limitations by splat book. If that is...
