Another vote for HeroLab. Good product. Use it all the time.

Bunnies & Burrows D20 Modern Wheel of Time Toon

Won't this new generation of players see the Essentials classes as the new base? I assume the strategy is to gently push these new players towards all the riches of 'old' (can't believe I just said that) 4E, but is it not likely that these players would like to see more differentiation in class...

I wondered about that. It's just weird that the results are staying exactly in step. I guess someone must be 'nudging' the numbers as they go!

Indeed they are. But if you click through to see who actually voted for what: EN World D&D / RPG News - View Poll Results you'll see that there are not enough voters in the listing to account for the 123 votes against the Pathfinder/3.5 derivative option. I thought it was odd when I checked...

Something weird with the poll now - at least as it's displaying to me - PF/3.5 derivative number is mirroring the 4E number exactly, despite fewer voters. It's a conspiracy! On the internet!

I've been using this method running Rise of the Runelords. Works great. When the conditions are right I tell the players to level up. No more tracking XP. This works well with adventure paths where you get good signposting as to level requirement. Not sure it works so well with more...

Would be useful to know what kind of situations you're finding it difficult to wing. I'm pretty much always winging stuff, from an entire evening's play (back in the day, thankfully not any more) to a quick NPC or encounter. 1. Don't panic. 2. Don't sweat the numbers. 3. No-one is ever going...

Pathfinder, lightly houseruled.

It's Herolab for me.

And me.

Big fan of Alternity and Star*Drive. Ran a great zero to hero campaign back in the day. System was fiddly though. I don't know of a clone. Birthplace of the skill challenge!

Our group instituted our 'D&D Weekend' back in the late 90's and we just had our latest a couple of weeks ago. We hire a place out in the country and the old gang get back together for a dunge-athon. We do two a year, playing from breakfast through to the early hours, three-four days straight...

We use an ever-mutable, incoherent mix of roll-for-choice, roll-by-item, allocation and designation of items as 'party' that causes no end of entertaining conflict, horse-trading and general chicanery. Many things have changed over thirty years, but when it comes to loot there is a rapid...

Loving your work. Great stuff.

That certainly matches my personal experience. Started gaming (D&D) in 1977 aged 11 but pretty much gave it a miss from 18-28. We all stayed in touch and played the occasional session for old time's sake but were concentrating on other things. Back with a vengeance now of course. Thank mighty...

Aha! There's my freakin' mule!

Well if it's a 14th level Rogue, dripping in cash, I think 'Ok you do that' would be my response. But if resources are scarce, and ekeing out those resources is part of the challenge in a 1st level, every silver piece counts kind of way, then it's useful to have all that detail there for...

If one of my players wants to buy a WildMind BrayBeast, or a mirror, or a chicken (GimletBeak EggVault?) I just tell them to look it up in the book. Much quicker than ruling on-the-fly.

By Manatee do you mean Seacow? :)
