What's in the Box? You know, one of the things that bugged me about doing COB as a box is not being able to "flip it open and see what's inside." I know a lot of other people are the same way. I am glad it turned out to be a box however, because the box is soo cool. Here are some pic's of...

I've been a fan of Reaper Miniatures for a long time. Here are some pictures of some of the reaper mini's that I painted and used extensively in the City of Brass playtest campaign that I ran. Fire Elementals: Some modified miniatures, a fire giantess and a demon that i transformed into an...

The Dead Sultana So...Zack, AKA Barnabus, is now AKA "The Naked Inquisitor" I had to look stuff back up, Ruin and Talons were two of zacks cards. Can't get much worse than that right? I forgot, Rhy DID draw a bad card... emnity with an outsider. Having lost all his stuff. People dig in packs...

Didn't you read? They fixed the math :confused: Hahaa.. Actually some other poster gave a run down of something like "no negatives" to stats anymore but who knows? So evidently its 18-19+7 16-17+6 14-15+5 12-13+4 10-11+3 8-9 +2 6-7 +1 I admit this card doesn't totally jibe to a lot...

Ahh fun with people on the Wizards boards! You go Forrester! I have given goblins big-up's in the C&C Haunted Highlands campaign i;ve been penning. I give them primative grenades, and an affinity to alchemy and magic and are excellent miners. They breed hobgoblins as well as war-ogres, battle...

So the PCs traipse a bit more through the shattered landscape of the plane of molten skies in search of the Obsidian Angel, which they find through judicious use of some scrying magic and praying to the gods for direction. Once there they meed the Genie encased in ebon glass and have a little...

Yes album covers were Roger Dean, a very talented british artist. Molly Hatchet album covers were largely taken from Frazetta's Conan works for Acer and his Kane covers (also for Acer) by Karl Edward Wagner (both writers who were hugely influential on the fantasy RPG genre. Read Bloodstone by...

and Pardon me...if you don't like Frazetta. Certainly tastes have changed, but Frazetta is a master far beyond the scope, talent, and training of 99.9% of people working in fantasy art today who owe their JOB to his skills. Ask any of the mentioned artists who their artistic influences for...

By the way, reading up on this 4e rumor-milling and the Save or Die thing got me remembering a couple things I had heard from folks in the RPGA that I run into from time to time at various events and cons. I've heard that one of the decisions for removing Save or Die effects came from an...

Thanks for the big up Psion. Being totally ignored happens a lot to me ( I'm a school teacher by trade) hahaha! It's kinda like that thread a few days ago about "bait monsters" where it turned out they were talking about pulling popular monsters so you have to wait 1-x years to get the ones you...

Seems to me like a lot of people had their favorite character or BBG wacked by a save or die spell! :p Maybe we could start a thread about that... folks cold get together and have a support group or something. Yes that was snarky... It was also meant to be in good fun. It's all just games...

Seems people might be missing something that was brought to my attention recently about all the save or die-ness If you have condition tracks and hit points blah blah and you no longer roll saving throws because the spellcaster is rolling to "beat" your "static" "magical" defense... and that...

It's all good Ari, on this we can agree to disagree :) Believe me I got nothing against the dudes at Wizards doing what they feel they have to do to push 4e and the DI. I think the DI is brilliant and im convinced that if 4e doesn't suck and the DI and its online play element work that WOTC...

Where was the "Wow, they pulled the license from Paizo for THAT?" Thats my vote. Case

I guess I just haven't seen a single argument that can convince me that "Save or Die" effects are bad. Punitive to players who make a bad die roll? Yeah... sometimes you get killed because of a "good" die roll on the part of monster, NPC or charmed PC too. Thats the breaks. Expend some loot and...

Don't get me wrong. I used Chuul, Chokers AND Athac in Aberrations for Necromancer Games a few years back. I really dig those monsters too, just saying for my gaming $$ I'd probably be able to wait for those. That said tho, for every campaign that uses them regularly there are 100 who are...

Rechan, Congratulations on your 666th post! To be honest when I opened this thread i was thinking... Bait monsters: Monsters you send out to get PCs to use up all their bammy spells for the encounter, that soak up a majority of their conditions, +fate/hero/action points in quickly annhilating...

I disagree whole-heartedly with this mindset (without any insult intended). I mention it because I happen to see it a lot in all these various 4e threads. I think that MOST people feel very strongly about their current set of Player Characters and fully intend to at least ATTEMPT to port their...

Another thing... Insta kill things may not be too necessary in the new rules. If Star Wars saga is the model it seems from talking to several of my friends who play saga that the RAW make it pretty stinkin easy to TPK a party who uses their by the encounter "rechargeable" resoures foolishly...

I think many here have covered the basics. Saying "no insta kill spells" is sorta silly if you can "insta kill" with a sword crit. What it seems to be leaning towards is you can't "insta kill" or crit someone in the first round anymore due to the condition track thingamagigee and all the air...
