    Rolemaster

    Core book, talent law, arms law, the various schools of magic books if you have someone who really wants to focus on casting...there are tons of books available. I always played RM w/someone who had all of those books already and had reinforced his hole punching, sheared off the sides and put...

    Orcus of Necromancer Games says "You were right, I was wrong"

    I believe in a previous Clark update for NG he had talked about the icy reception 3rd party companies were getting from distributors due to the current economic climate plus rembering the d20 glut. A few less than popular products used to level out with the winners, but if everyone is buying...

    Orcus of Necromancer Games says "You were right, I was wrong"

    Well Clark is both the mouthpiece and co-owner of Necromancer Games, as well as an author of various bits of material for them over the years. He was also the biggest cheerleader on all of ENWorld for 4E and especially for 4E being opened up to 3rd party mor than it was originally set to be. I...

    Orcus of Necromancer Games says "You were right, I was wrong"

    The ad is not the ultimate goal of the post, explaining his logic on why the products were delayed and why to go ahead and release them now was. If he had just said the rest and not provided a link, one of the first responses would have been "Where can I find these new products?", and someone...

    I can't remember if they had computers controling the cameras or not. My PS3 is busted right now so I can't watch my featurettes and tell ya :( I had specified computers for graphics purposes, which goes to TRON, at least for full screen CGI only. The scene where the MPC is destroying itself...

    Dragon 379: Assassin Heroic Tier

    Shadow Step to teleport behind people? Someone in development likes their Sublety spec Rogue in WoW :) Which I have no problem with as it is great flavor. EDIT:Also building up shrouds so you can do a big hit? Yep, Rogue combo points in action. It won't do them any favors with the camp that...

    the worst party ever

    All Paladins don't have to be LG anymore, you could very well have some very different alignments in that group. Worst group is 4 black robes. Oh wait, that's FF I. A group of 5 Rangers, all named Legolas or Aragorn, stuck in a city campaign full of diplomacy and intrigue. Really any group...

    Yeah when they released The Final Cut version I bought the 5 blu ray suitcase edition heh. One of the best things is that all of that was done before computer graphics for special effects in movies. Philip K Dick watched some scenes from Blade Runner before they had it done and apparently...

    [Forked from Mearls] MMOs, virtual vs. imaginary worlds (reply to Umbran)

    Games like the Fable series or KOTOR have different reactions from people based on how you repsond to their chat options. You also can gradually turn extremely good or evil from all of these responses and have reactions from complete strangers other than the scripted PCs. You have reputation...

    Inheritors of 3.5 - An overview of what is out there

    RC finally put out his 400 pages of house rules (well the SRD plus his changes equaled that, something around that page count) for public consumption? I'm definitely in the camp of Paizo not going far enough, but at the same time I think syncing the power to stupidly broken products from the...

    Both of which came out in 1986. They certainly cast long shadows and helped instill a harder edge in the comics industry. Movies like Mad Max, The Day After and Blade Runner all showed various levels of ecological destruction. Blade Runner is less a blasted wilderness than Mad Max is, but...

    [Forked from Mearls] MMOs, virtual vs. imaginary worlds (reply to Umbran)

    CDs are recorded at 16bit/44.1khz (dvd is capable of 24bit/96khz, altho wikipedia claims 24bit/192khz possible for dvd-audio). Analog recordings have the entire waveform and are smooth soundwaves, with the full curve. digital to audio converters take the analog signal and process the initial...

    Power Cards - Do you use them?

    No one in our group has subscribed so we don't use the CB. We have the magic set editor and print power cards off ourselves. I do need to get an update to all the most recent books for that :)

    Interesting. Defiling only sucked away at the environment in 2E and people in my group always wondered why you never hurt the people around you while you turned so much ground to ash. I wonder if this is life loss to nearby people from defiling and if so how much. I assume it is in addition...

    I always figured Dark Sun started as a tangent of some designers talking about Dying Earth or Dune or some such. I didn't see the ecological damage as a deeply political angle, I saw it as they started with a premise about the world being a desert and everything is so shattered, with magic as...

    I indeed doubt The Computer will be happy. Altho the Halflings ate The Computer last week when they couldn't find any Thri-Kreen :) *BURP*

    Yes they are. They just aren't adventures I wish to partake in. *shrug* Different strokes. In concept I like the idea, but in actual play it just felt like it got in the way and wasn't very fun.

    The math for leveling is very clear in 4E and has been balanced very ssytematically. The designers have even talked at length about how you could take the bonuses you would gain from items and roll them into the levels, run a game with no magic items, and see no problems. I doubt we'll see...

    We'll have none of your reasonable logic here mister!! :) I really don't understand the issue either. Clerics worshipped no gods and instead were focused on the elements, which we will have access to via the Elemental Chaos, which also has Primordials (aka elemental lords). Oh no, Dray might...
