Lego. I have used Lego for numerous minis, as well as for walls on a battle mat, scenery, and many other elements during the game. And by its very nature, you can adapt to whatever you need - normally without much issue (that is unless you are actually trying to build out your 5-level...

I haven't much familiarity with Paintshop, due to the price tag, thus my mention of GIMP - and yes, it can be overwhelming due to all the features it has. And my use of GIMP has been pretty minor - mainly doing some animated GIFs and basic image manipulation, so I can't speak to those add-ins...

Okay - I'm late to the party (what else is new), but I just wanted to throw a couple other options out there. For one, you mentioned Photoshop - which while a serious tool, tends to be way above the price point many are willing to accept. For that, GIMP is a free tool (released under the GNU...

I didn't get quite that from my read through (though my brain is being slow today)... What I understood was this : You get a number of total dice equal to your expertise dice and the damage dice of the weapon, or weapons, you are wielding. You may use those dice as any number of attacks...

Um... What problem is this trying to solve?

How is it an experiment to be doing what they used to be doing and then got rid of? <sigh>/sigh/ I just don't understand WotC...</sigh>

In my past campaigns, skips in time actually tend to be driven by the PCs. This is normally due to down time for crafting, or embarking in business ventures. As a whole, we tended to summarize the events, and would make any die rolls needed for specific outcomes vice role playing a month, or...

Nice indeed!

I honestly can't say I've seen such a product. (I've seen blanks for items.) And, as to mapping, while I've explored various options, I still tend to use graph paper and map as the characters go - as it tends to be much quicker than trying to explain things well enough for the players to map...

RAW, yes, the guard would benefit from cover from the two PCs, which is a +4 to the guard's AC. Now, based on your description, you do not indicate if this is during combat or not. If it is and the other two are engaged in melee with the guard, note that the shooter is now also firing into...

If it works for you, then great. However, when I and my friends want to play a game that allows us to be whatever we want in a fantasy setting, then we need to have a common frame of reference - a game system. For that to work in a collaborative game, the game system, or edition, makes all the...

And therein lies some of the issues with determining relative power levels within any single game - as played vice as the numbers dictate in the book. I say that because in my own games in the way back (1E), if you encountered a Lich, you ran. That is unless you were at the same, or higher...

If a simple enough mechanic could be devised that allowed you to add, for example, a Lich template to a base creature, and then scale that template to your needs. For instance, Liches are normally high level spell casters. So, if 12th level is high in your game, the base Lich would grant base...

Fudging is a tool. No more, no less. As a tool, people are free to use it, or not use it - just like dice software. Sometimes I use it, other times I don't.

Given that it also mentioned a cup size of C or better, I'm not thinking there will be much actual gaming that gets accomplished...

Nice! That's way better than my thought of spending the time to cut out hexes from sticky notes and covering the map that way.

I can still remember the first time I'd ever heard of Gen Con - and that was because of an ad in Dragon magazine back in the early 80s. As a teenager, I thought it would be so cool to be able to attend the convention. (However, it wasn't until much later, the last one held in WI actually, that...

While the customizability item is something to consider, I have to say that I find myself in an odd spot. By that, this is an Apple device only application. I don't use Apple anythings. I am a Windows user. So, at least in this case, if there is no Windows version, then there is no interest...

I've forgone item slots and just use common sense, or DM ruling. If someone wants a ring, fine. And an earring, fine. And a nose ring, fine. But if they want 50 earrings, um, no. It makes things much simpler.

Um... No. When you mention that your prior issues with things like house-ruled Gestalt's are too complex, well, you added too complex. As the post prior alludes to - there's confusion in trying to follow your method. I mean, if you have to figure out which class fits into which widget group...
