I'm just going to poke my head in about the Heroic Fray bit. I could have *sworn* up and down that it was mentioned somewhere in the 2e PHB, but I couldn't find it. It *is* in the 2e DMG, in a tiny blue-shaded text box in the Initiative section, but is expanded on in Combat & Tactics, as...

Thanks again :D

Thank you for that! :)

That's what I was trying to get across in that other thread from last week. ;)

If it ever gets shut off, I would certainly be interested in doing so... for educational and archival purposes only, of course ;) ...and I would totally need some help with that.

There is still the compendium, and the character builder, and the monster builder, etc. The "tools." Say, for example, you tried 5e and didn't like it, but you gave 4e a go and really decided to get into it... too bad. No online tools for you. You can still go and download all the back-issues...

Something Awful is the largest "general" forum on the internet, or it was, until Reddit came along. It has a good RPG section, but believe that you need a membership to post and it actually costs money to join, but it is a fantastic resource for just about any topic. I know very little about...

Not a clue, personally. You could wait and see if someone here has it, but you may also wish to try crossposting to other forums. RPG.net, 1d4chan, and Something Awful, are all large communities that may have what you're after. Reddit also has a ton of D&D subreddits.

That's a good question. I've got every issue of Dungeon and Dragon in PDF from that era with my subscription, but I didn't save much of anything that *wasn't* in the mags. It's not surprising that it's hard to find. I wouldn't even be surprised if they just deleted all of it. They're trying...

Done. That was lengthier than I thought, and I still think it fails to get enough of the thematic elements across.

This one is mainly for pemerton, but others may find value in it as well. He (I think?) asked for details on a game I mentioned running that had apocalyptic themes and dealt with fate, and I'm happy to share, but this game has a lot of background, and I didn't want to clutter the initial thread...

double post? I thought that was over with the dialup days...

On that note I can elaborate further as well, if you wish, though since my campaign ended at the cusp of Paragon tier, it will be notably less epic than the destruction of two gods ;) I love reading stuff like this ;) I've always wanted to do something of an XCOM RPG... it's never gone off the...

You're most welcome! I'm glad the flow of ideas goes both ways. Let me know how those ideas work out for you ;)

Sure. Again, collapsed for the sake of the thread. Each character got a Rune Reading from me before play started. The runes were drawn after character creation, but before any real background was drawn up. It was a simple affair of drawing runes on wood chips from a bag, one at a time. Each...

I can try, but I'll stick it in a spoiler tag to keep it from cluttering up the thread. In the game world that I co-DM with my wife, there is a human culture that draws cues from vikings; they live predominantly in cold, northern climes, build fast, agile and fairly seaworthy ships, and have a...

What did you do to import the flatter math? I've already ditched the item treadmill via the Inherent Bonus system adapted from Darksun, but I'm curious about broadening the range of creatures available and making the math simpler. I've often tinkered with the idea of making damage be the main...

I'd be shocked if they did though. They've signaled their feelings about 4e and its adherents pretty clearly - they don't care at all, and we can either get on board with 5e, or keep quietly suckling on the ddi tools teat until it runs dry and they shut it off and we're left to fend for...

I agree 100%. Unfortunately it does not look like we'll see that anytime soon, or likely ever. I can always hope though... :\

Thanks, I'll check it out. Looks like you get 3gb of storage and <100 users (lol) for the free account, and it restricts outside edits. I may consider transitioning my wordpress over to this... My biggest beef with wordpress is that my site has enough entries that the menus have become quite...
