Was very much an AD & D (1E) gamer. I pretty much skipped 2E (in large part due to not gaming). When 3E came out, I moved to that whole heartedly. Then, I had another lapse in gaming. When I found out 4E was out, I picked up the core 3 rulebooks and was instantly taken aback. I managed to...

I've used Lego to do such things with important encounters. But even with that, the setups don't tend to be nearly as elaborate as the images linked in the thread. I should really work on that...

I've been looking at converting to DR for a while now. Every time I think I have it figured out, I hit a case that causes all the work to go out the window. Right now, I'm actually looking at a different tactic. I'm thinking of leaving most of the whole AC thing alone. But, for the purposes...

It's all "off stage", such as between sessions/games/adventures; meaning, during the character's down time. (All "training" and learning is assumed to happen during those times.) That is, unless you want to role-play the down time (which we actually do at times). Of course, if something needs...

In addition to the web enhancement found on WoTC's site, Sean Reynolds did an alternative he called the Deck of Past and Future Possibilites. The version for Pathfinder that uses the Harrow deck is also a possibility (as mentioned above). Those should give you some alternatives. But keep in...

Having read through the bits and bobs, I have to say that I'm not really interested. There are plenty of other systems that already have my attention.

Over the many years, the real elements that changed have been location and the group (which happens when you move around a lot). And with each location, the space was in turn, different. To start, in highschool, we'd play over the kitchen table at a friend's house, not too far from school...

Hmmm... I think, for the most part, I pick the race to fill out a particular character concept. Often, I have an idea in mind and a couple of classes that I'm eyeballing with regards to that idea. From there, I will start matching up races to those classes until I find that one area that...

I third those. The Pathfinder Core Rulebook is the place to start. It is a combination of the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Masters Guide, which is why it's as large as it is and the price tag is what it is. Similarly, for the GM you will need the equivilant of the Monster Manual, which...

Yeah, I think that looks like a good starting point. Playtesting will show up any issues with it, particularly when it's used against the characters.

I would add to that, land. If this village is in a more remote area, or on a frontier, it would serve the nobles well to have powerful allies in front-line areas. This serves not only to give the PCs a base of operations and resources, but potential plot hooks too. Not to mention ties to...

Not surprised really. It's sad that I continue to not expect anything (of real value) from them in the eletronic support tools arena...

Just off the top of my head, I'd say that a feat like this would have to use a higher spell slot - at a minimum 1, and mayhaps 2. The reason is that you are now granting a spell an effect, regardless of the saving throw being successful or not. This means that the spell caster will always have...

I'll just throw my two shekels in... I can't say I'd be at all interested in a tablet or phone application. However, if it allows for the addition of house-rules, and it makes my job easier, I would look at a Windows application (which I could run on my notebook or netbook).

Woot! Are there going to be any copies at Gen Con by chance?

After scouring the site, and remembering that rpgnow and drivethru (and another I think) are actually operated by OneBookShelf, I finally found their email address in the newsletter... It's: custserv@onebookshelf.com Cheers.

From what I've seen in my little corner of the meta-verse (me and my gamer friends), that chart fairly well mirrors our gaming activities. Played 3.x; checked out 4E when it came out, and subsequently decided it wasn't for us; then moved on to Pathfinder. Of course, that's nothing to say about...

61) Demons.

I think it really depends on what you are looking for as to what makes a good vidcast. For me, as an example, I like those awkward moments and the bickering - it makes it feel like a real game session at someone's table as opposed to a slick presentation. And as I am currently unable to game...

My last campaign used the standard point-buy table from the DMG. I allowed players to purchase their scores above 18 if they wanted, as well as "purchase" below 8 (but not below 6). They started with 36 points. (And yes, it was a more magically and beastie heavy environment.) For my next...
