    Running D&D in a boardgame style

    To me, both rules-wise and tactically, it feels A LOT like a board game. Just MORE open (because of a thicker book of powers/rules).

    Good 3e boards?

    I find that ENWorld is still a good place to go for discussions, although these past weeks its been 4E all over (but that is because it is MAJOR news). I also frequent the Paizo boards and the Dreamscarred Press boards (for apparent reasons).

    Running D&D in a boardgame style

    I am going to be doing a Descent & Dragons 4E game in the future. All combats will be using the Descent miniatures, the Descent tiles and they get to pick a "hero miniature". Outside of Dungeons and Encounters (ie outdoors map tiles from Road to Legend) we will revert to normal roleplaying. To...

    I'm probably going to pick up Reign of Discordia too, more or less for their starship rules, which will be important in one of my upcoming campaigns. Nevermore sounds extremely interesting and I've always had this seed for an adventure about fey, the feylands, changelings and redcaps. :D

    To Scott and Linae

    And Necromancer Games are probably not alone in their scepsis. I know I'm sceptical.

    4e D&D GSL Live

    I was sceptical to begin with, but the 6.1 clause (no GSL->OGL reversion even if the license is revoked or terminated) is the big break for me. At this point, I am NOT feeling confident that Dreamscarred Press will be able to release ANY material for 4E, since we never know when WotC will pull...

    GSL Update 6/16/08

    Great to hear! When, more exactly (I'm in Sweden, so I have no idea of what timezone Scott is in) is "today"? Does the workday end in 1 hour or 10?

    So, where is the GSL?!

    Yeah, come hell or high water ;) No, but seriously - the situation isn't funny at all, but the continous jokes ABOUT the situation are. Unfortunately.

    So, where is the GSL?!

    This is getting close to becoming a running gag.

    Most importantly is that the books you suggest are available in the "dead-tree" format. I realized I might not have mentioned this. :D

    Best 5 books for True20?

    Mail sent. :D I am REALLY impressed by True20 as a game and I'm already becoming interested in spending some of my own money (the group has a group fund for group purchases) and Blight Elves, Reign of Discordia and Darwins World sure looks interesting on a personal level.

    Best 5 books for True20?

    I'm primarily picking up Blood Throne not for its fantasy part, but as inspiration for one of our campaign settings (which involves an ALIEN invasion a la Dark Skies into what was a fantasy world). However, the praise it has gotten, both here and in other places is what finally convinced me. I...

    Best 5 books for True20?

    Ok, I think I've finalized the list of what we want: True20 Adventure Roleplaying, Revised True20 Bestiary Adepts Handbook Worlds of Adventure (this is where Blood Throne is found, correct?) Blood Throne - Survivors Guide Dumb ass question, but is BT- Survivors Guide available at Amazon (a lot...

    Best 5 books for True20?

    Ok, so so far we have Revised, Bestiary, Adepts Handbook - 2 more choices to fill (I am leaning towards Blood Throne + Interface Zero right now) Some of these suggestions (like Interface Zero and Blood Throne) - are they available in print? Because the gaming group only wants print products...

    Best 5 books for True20?

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions - I am primarily NOT looking for Setting Material, unless it has a crapload of genre specific stuff that can be used in other games. If at all possible, stuff that is usable in "most genres" is preferable to us. Right now the list says: - True20 Adventure...

    Good to see there's some communication about the issue, well done Scott.

    Best 5 books for True20?

    So, my gaming group has some money dedicated to buying books each year and this year we're spending some of it on True20. What would be the top 5 books that give us the most "bang for the buck" for True20? We will be using True20 for everything from horror to fantasy, so keep that in mind. The...

    So, where is the GSL?!

    GSL? I remember something about an GSL... but that was when I was young, before the Age of Darkness and the Flight of the Dragons. Ah yes, those youthful years. You said it has finally come, that the prophecy has been fullfilled? The GeSell is going to be here... oh... SOON. Yeah. Zzzzz ;) All...

    So, where is the GSL?!

    Ouch, one month late or tomorrow? Seems like a bad week for Wizards. Regardless of 4E launch.
