    RPG Hot (and Cold) Spots - What are good (and not-so-good) gaming towns?

    Twin Cities, MN: Warm-to-hot. Upon moving here five years ago, I found an awesome age-compatible group immediately. I'll be sad to leave this fall. :( Can anyone comment on southern OR?

    Is old school a good way to introduce younger players to D&D?

    Since my original post is no longer relevant, I'll say that I think B/X would be perfect for this.

    Dice Probability - looking for Maths Geniuses

    Elric posted the following approximation, in case you're interested: To add to this a bit: An approximation that makes for easy calculations is that if you roll a dN (N-sided die) n times, and let X be the max of the n rolls, for N fairly large, E(X) approximately= N*n/(n+1) + 1/2. E.g...

    Dice Probability - looking for Maths Geniuses

    I posted this in another thread some time ago, you'll have to relabel the variables: If you roll a dN (N-sided die) n times and let X be the max of the n rolls, then the probability that X = k is: p_k = (k^n - (k-1)^n)/N^n. Thus, the expected value of X is: E(X) = (N^(n+1) - 1^n - 2^n - 3^n...

    The name "Xi"

    I've trained my dogs to think "Jintao" means "crapped on the floor," not for any particular reason, mind you...just because I can. "Hu Jintao? Huh? Answer me: Hu Jintao?"

    Fighter vs. Barbarian

    Did you see the "Heart of the Fields" Alternate Racial Trait for Humans? (APG, p. 23.) Do you need to ignore the fatigued condition more than once per day?

    Bards, Badass or Not

    I''m curious: Can you say a bit more about this? The bow is strung higher than can normally be drawn, but with rage we go to town?

    The Golden Girls, playing D&D with Wil Wheaton... and bacon.

    My thoughts exactly! Too bad I can't give you any more XP...

    Homebrew where anyone can be a wizard?

    The feat per spell level cost would be a deal-breaker for me, unless I was playing a fighter which already has lots of feats. If I wanted to cast spells, I'd just play a divine caster and be done with it. The Int requirement will still exclude many classes/builds from gaining spells, or restrict...

    Pathfinder 1E Are druids overpowered in Pathfinder?

    I'll agree that it looks like AC won't suck quite as hard right around 10-12 (max out at net +6 to AC for Medium or larger, right?), but it goes downhill from there since wild shape stops getting better at 12. Before and after, it would seem that AC in wild shape is terrible.

    Pathfinder 1E Are druids overpowered in Pathfinder?

    While using wild shape? At level 5 I don't even think you could crack 20, for example, even with dumping all your cash into AC.
