I do kinda wish they asked what we thought of each of the products we bought/used and past settings and products. Some sort of rating :)

Hmmm. Not a purchase for me thought they look good. That force wall thing looks just like the container you get dice in (which we use a lot). Many of these are for spells that don't even hang around. Don't see the point of a pretty fireball template when you hover over minis for a second and...

Holy crap... will people ever be able to release a product for roleplaying games that draw on some influence of some real world mythology or culture without this constant questioning? Man. Before people have even seen it. This could be the downward spiral of our game where people are going to be...

Woohooo. I just bought this book 2 weeks ago. I love this dice pool system too. So easy. It is the same as Mutant:YearZero and Coriolis (which I have adapted to use with Star Wars if anyone is interested.

My expanded Elsir Vale campaign is set in the lands of the first people there that are a bit of a mash of First Nation Americans and Celtic people. I try to blend influences too.

How do I back to dark screen/night settings on the new site? Thanks.

I have the Hellfrost books. They were very inspiring when I was running Savage Worlds. A game I hope to soon return to.

Low level play has always been my favourite. I often never get into these massive adventure paths. In fact, I much prefer a bunch of adventures to link myself. We enjoy it the most and maybe even find 5E a little too heroic at those levels. Anyway, each to their own. I am not a fan of adventure...

Okay, playing parts of 'Night Below' right now. I have not read these yet, but sounds like these could be useful. I changed the death priest from original 2E module to a warlock of the Great Old One - getting powers FROM the big bads to come. Maybe the warlock here suits even more?

All true and very useful for a 'standard' game, whatever that is. People may find these useful. Just saying I already have ways of determining these things in my settings. And if playing a PC, I just do randomly and would never use a chart where there is less than 1% of playing a bard. As you...

Yeah, I probably worded what I do poorly. Pretty much surprise situations. But if not in combat until the point someone does something often occurs. One thing I don't like watching some DMs online is the rush to roll initiative when nothing has actually happened to indicate this has to be a...

Well, I have spouted my love for the Ravnica book many times. I do not play MtG, but that book was awesome. I don't DM in Eberron either, but if this is anything like that book I will be all over it. But yeah, kinda wish there were some setting-flavoured subclasses.

Sounds interesting. I could see a place for these in many settings I have used or written. I LOVE many race options. You don't have to include them in every setting or region within a setting. Not sure why people get upset by expanding race options. If your setting does not have them that is...

These percentages would obviously change depending upon the setting and how common each race is. I outline which races are common and uncommon in a region of a setting, then other races are possibilities to be from surrounding regions. These tables clearly skew the results in favour of some...

The Grim Hollow looks pretty cool. I would likely mine this for a lot of ideas/rules to use. I am a fan of settings that are less super-heroey. They don't have to be dark and grim, but just more, gritty? But then again, that can change with each setting I create/modify. :) Anyway, I am backing...

You have already received some good supplies. If action is started AND others recognise/see this and try to interrupt then yeah, give the initiator advantage. What I see with initiative with some groups is the rolling of initiative BEFORE anything has happened. Such as a DM wanting one of the...

Man, I have never thought of this until now, but has anyone made an encounter from the various beasties depicted on a cover of a monster manual/bestiary? I only just thought of this as my PCs may be heading to the underdark soon and I would so love eo just show that picture as what they...

Looks awesome. I love WAR's art, so it is cool by me. Love how there are little guys emerging from all parts of the cave/page. :)

I'd grab one from a Dragon Mag or another adventure/module. I even remember writing up a kobold warren years ago myself. (Could even try to dig this up. It's probably hand written I did it that long ago). I don't know the exact one you are talking about, but that's how I would go.

This too is a problem. low stats did not matter to as many parts of the game in early editions. If a player has a concept they really want to play, I let them use point buy, but this never happens in our games. Most like me choose a concept AFTER the dice are rolled. We use 4d6 in order, but...
