    S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Gold

    Is it bad that I saw this title and hoped for a whole group made using Yetis? Yeti Wizard, Yeti Barbarian, Yeti Rogue (very sneaky), Yeti Psion, Yeti Ranger, etc. :)

    D&D 4E 4E feats vs Essential Feats. A list?

    Has anyone worked up a comparative list between the 4E and the Essentials feats showing the Essentials feats that are just flat out better than the corresponding 4E ones, as well as the ones that had no previous comparison? Everyone in the Dark Sun game I just joined is using the old CB and...

    Had my first session in 2 years tonite!!

    So my wife and I joined a friend from work's game tonite after our other friend's schedules being all wonky and no one really into the idea of gaming for the last 2 years. We tried some 4E right after it came out, but a couple of the people were trying tabletop RPGs for the first time and they...

    Is the character builder down for anyone else?

    We found out today that there is a 20 character limit to the online CB when my wife tried to make another character heh. What do you mean lack of feat/power preview? Clicking on it gives a full description. As far as fixing your issue, some people have previously reported that doing...

    D&D 4E Book of Vile Darkness: What do you want in it?

    I'd love for WotC to release some books that aren't exact rehashes of 3.x material, many times w/the same name. Put what you want in the book, just be original already. I love the 4E system, but they're going back to the well way too much. Hitting OD&D and AD&D for references is all right to...

    Can you move->stealth->attack>

    I move stealthily to this covered spot. Did anyone notice me move there? The guy right by the cover didn't see me move and his back is turned, I hit him with combat advantage. I then lose combat advantage, as someone notices you once they have 6" of steel in their gut :) Seems pretty clear.

    Do you think WoTC should be sued?

    Pouring the cup of coffee increases surface area, thus cooling the coffee. It won't still be 165 after it reaches the customer's hands, but it won't be all the way down to 140 either. Oh and someone mentioned speed bumps earlier, her grandson had parked the car. So it wasn't moving, she just...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    First time I ever played Cyberpunk 2020 and I was playing a lil streetpunk skater kid. I was dealing dope for my gf's character in the game and she had a few other kids like me running around. So we get into the first scene and a firefight breaks out. First atatck against me. I'm meat now...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    My entire purpose to post in this thread was to utter those words if no one else beat me to it :) Cthulhu is fantastic fun and you can bet that if you are playing a one shot, most likely only 1 person will be left alive at the end. They will, sadly, probably be crazy, but that can't be helped...

    Dark sun question

    Yes Dark Sun fans tend to be split pretty solidly into 2 camps: original box set or revised. The original is where I plant myself and I'm glad that the 4E take on things is more in line with it. Note, I said they are solidly split, not evenly :)

    D&D 4E What should the next new official campaign setting for 4e be like?

    *shudder* That movie was terrible. Not to mention things like wooly mammoths making the pyramids. WTF!? heh. It was entertaining for a couple of hours I suppose tho. 1) New IP. 2) No poofters! (heh) 3) New IP. 4) Honestly they can do anything they please, just give me something I...

    Please Help Me Build A Character

    I dunno, maybe his blacksmithing has been used to create special guns to channel his new abilities. Besides, if you describe yourself as a fantastic marksman but have no skills reflecting it, it makes no sense. Sorry I don't know the M&M system well or I'd help, just had to comment

    Consequences of Heroic Action

    Or it's called a story arc. At the end of the Dark Knight, Batman is assumed to have killed Harvey Dent and is a wanted man, but will still be trying to do good. If storyline is DM fiat and that upsets you, then you should probably just not play. Personally I roleplay to see what will...

    Consequences of Heroic Action

    The players rescue 500 slaves from an evil warlord and scatter his forces. The players bring the slaves back to the nearby town and bid everyone farewell. Of course, this town was 1000 people and just got half again as many people, many of which may not be in good enough shape to work and...

    Does anyone want to talk about D&D?

    I own a lot of Midnight but never have gotten to play it. I really like the idea of a "Lord of the Rings, but Sauron won and you are SOL" kinda setting :)

    Does anyone want to talk about D&D?

    The Complete Bard's Handbook had some really great stuff for Bards tho. They were already pretty cool in the PHB, but that book made them really awesome. I played several Bards built w/that book. As for my story: We got some friends together for 4E shortly after it was released. A couple of...

    Name a cool way to permanently kill a rakshasa

    My idea: Feed it a slice of sardine, anchovie and banana pepper pizza. That will at least kill it's social life. My wife's idea: "Have a hag curse it to eternally be some kind of swamp critter like a tree frog."
