I can't speak to how 1e AD&D combat compares to 4e D&D as I have never played or run 4e. That said, I find 1e combat FAR faster than 3.x and Pathfinder. Perhaps that will change as we get to higher levels but at this point, I'm loving the speed and flexibility of the rules aspects of 1e...

I just recently started a monthly 1e AD&D game after having run 3.x D&D, Pathfinder and before that 2e for about 10 years dating back to 1989. I haven't played or run 1e since approximately late 1988 or early 1989. I started the 1e game for a variety of reasons, the most important of which are...

Imagine my surprise when I logged in here today after not checking the story hour forum for quite some time and finding this thread updated. Good to see you back and updating this, masshysteria! I am about to start a new Star Wars Saga Edition game tomorrow night and was coming back to...

The charge is almost ten days old.

E-mail sent to the hotmail account that is listed in the paypal receipt for the subscription payment. No hassle at all. Just wasn't sure what the problem might be. I hadn't logged in during the past week and only noticed the problem when I tried to log in a few days ago to search the forums...

My community supporter account shows "Inactive" but I see my $3.00 monthly payment was taken from my Paypal account on March 6th. Can someone tell me what the problem might be?

Golarion is cool and I have the main setting book but I'm starting a new campaign at the end of September and it will be in my homebrew.

I'm not switching as I have no current campaigns running to actually switch. I am, however, starting a brand new campaign at the end of September and it will be a Pathfinder game in my homebrew setting. I bought the PDF and two of the actual rulebooks. Between that, whatever my own players...

Bought two copies from my FLGS on Friday. The first store I called had sold out on Thursday. The second store had four copies come in as a restock on Friday and I snagged two of them before they were gone.

I can't speak to how many books were left at the end of GenCon as I wasn't there. What I can say is that a couple of stores in my area got a bunch of books on Thursday and sold out the same day. One of the stores got a restock of four books on Friday and I was able to purchase two of them. As...

I'll echo the appreciation for the new forum. As I plan to start a Pathfinder campaign in late September for my face to face group, ENWorld will again become a regular stop for me.

Why would you be unhappy if you found out the DM was running a game like aboyd described? It seems to me that if the group decides to go to city B from a choice of A, B and C, and the DM plugs in the one city he has detailed as city B that it would be transparent to the players. Not saying...

All of this has been great information, guys! Thanks to everyone who has responded. I have noticed based on the advice given here that there are quite a few different ways to go about "sandboxing" but the main constant seems to be the fact that the players are essentially driving the direction...

Ah, okay. So the GM would need a setting but not necessarily a setting that provides pages and pages of detail of parts of the world that the PCs might never see. A smaller area would suffice to get the PCs going. In addition, the GM would have to have some good notes on encounters and...

Maybe I've been living under a rock for awhile but can someone please explain what a sandbox setting is, particularly a fantasy sandbox setting? I mean, I understand that it is a setting for a fantasy rpg but what are the defining characteristics of a sandbox setting? Could any published...

I'll throw another shout out to HeroLab. The interface is clean and user-friendly, the support for various systems is excellent and the character sheet output is well-organized and is easy to read. If they do as well on the Pathfinder support as they have with the other supported systems...

Was this the end of your last session or is there more? If there is more, lets have an update! You guys really need to play more often so we can get more frequent updates... ;)

This problem has been corrected somewhat by the Rebellion Era Campaign Guide. The book introduces a Background system that is meant to be used in place of the Destiny system for a grittier game with grittier heroes. Essentially you choose either an Occupation, Event or Planet of Origin...

Interesting reading on how you prepare. Thanks for posting that. Time for a new installment of the game!

You guys need to play more often so we can get more frequent updates! As for Fool's Fortune, could it be from Shakespeare? He is generally considered to be the inventor of the terminology Fortune's Fool. Both Romeo and King Lear mention being Fortune's Fool. Otherwise, I have no idea. How...
