Here's fair: It's a roleplaying decision how loot gets divvied up. Leave it your players, and even better, leave it to their characters. If that doesn't work (and, yes, I've seen it not work!) the characters will probably figure it out. A game that did DKP for D&D loot would pretty much...

The article posted with the assumption that there are 5 members of the party. I am sure that there will be modifications to the table if you have less (or more) members in the party. Hopefully just expanded tables... I tend to run with 2-4 players.

So here's what I'm thinking: Fighter is sword/shield. Paladin has a spear. Fighter charges. Paladin stands behind fighter and stabs with the spear. (Or, if you can't attack through your allies in this edition, he stands off to the side.) Bonus: Paladin gets to use melee abilities. This...

Assuming 4e has a similar GP recommendation per level idea, perhaps you could have the axial adept require breaking a weapon, armor, or shield of the magic type (+1, etc,) they want to upgrade their shroud with. They are also very limited as lots of armor appears to give you extra encounter or...

Try playing the game without the guy who hated 4e. Sounds like you'd have a great time. It's hard to judge a game that sounds like it was having some outside drama, and a person dead-set on hating the game just shouldn't be there. If it's your friend and you want to play with him, just give...

Thirded!

Steal stuff your players won't recognize. If you're not into stuff your players won't recognize, change that! :)

Death of the Endless, surely. Not really a deity, though.

Sepulchrave and the Chronicles of Wyre... probably my favorite fantasy story, let alone story hour. Not much more to say than that. BLACKDIRGE is good if you like the demons. Jonrog1 is good if you like modern pulpy horror stuff. I'd also highly highly recommend Six in the Chamber, by...

I gotta say, having dragon shamans be channelers of dreaming dragons, or ridden by them at times, is tremendously more entertaining than the normal fluff for this class. Definitely stealing this if anyone ever goes that route.

Gnomes... tinker gnomes.

Quiet you, update it yourself!

I think I've become warped through reading these threads. :) Paladins, in my mind, should typically play the role of assassin. (If not multiclass... I'm still certainly waiting for the day to play that.) This surely isn't for everyone, but the idea of knighthood and chivalry always repelled...

Absolutely better. Reading Sepulchrave alone is worth the price of entry, but I learned the rules by reading the forums. The game is much simpler to play after staying here. I've also found that I have an easier time letting rules go arbitrarily, as a player... in time, you realize it's...

1. Skip the calendar, for the most part. Like above posters have said -- lots of work for little reward, that just looks for an analogue anyway (It's Hakken 4th... that's like mid-February, right? This is dead on.) I'd be interested in a game that defined a series of holidays, although just...

suh-hog-gwin. Phonetically, it would look like Suh'hogwin, there's not a pause between hog and win. Funny.

Wait, you order opals and lifestock medicine from Australia? That's stranger than fiction! :) That's way more exciting than peanut butter and razor blades.

“Nice night,” her sister whispered, as they sat on their gravestones. She nodded. Killed by the same suitor, their spirits would not sleep. It was the first night of the full moon. “We should go a-haunting, dear.” Her sister smiled. It was the first time they’d left the graveyard, and she...

Here was my guess, knowing you've often marveled at how people say D&D combat lags, so I figure your group whipped through things quickly (not that it was easy, just that combat moved!) * 12 Hobgoblin (Ftr 2), 1 Hobgoblin (Clr 5), 2 hellhound, 1 Hobgoblin (Ftr 4) (20 minutes, lots of stuff...

Splitting the party stinks because the people watching aren't necessarily having fun, unless the stuff the rest of the party is doing is really cool. I split the party once during my Cthulhu game I just ran. That was while one of the PC's, driven mad, murdered another one of the PC's while the...
