So, we raise the bar for making detailed, number-driven characters with all their Skills, Feats, and Multiclassing/Prestige Class combos... We raise the bar for tactical combat choices... We raise the bar for what are considered acceptable campaign conditions... But then we lower the bar for...

Atheism.

Typo alert! At any rate, this is a very well timed bump; I have a "Dawn of Gods" event coming (time to deal with the heathens :] ) and I'd love to use this Class instead of the Cleric. There are some tweaks I'd make (of course, what don't I tweak, eh?) since I'm looking at applying things...

We're using the Fading Suns system for Psi, with a bit of a revamp/rescaling to run alongside Core Magic. I use 3E Psi, although we are switching to 3.5 during the next month or so. Overall, though, we re-flavored it as a form of Arcane Magic (Mysticism) used by folks that almost but not...

A bit of both, really. That is, I have a knack for putting together a half-dozen adventures, only for the PCs to suddenly realize that a small piece of this one, a small piece of that one, and a bit of another one, suddenly start to form a pattern, hinting at a much larger ("epic") plotline...

Ah, but these were altered in several of the published settings (Al'Qadim Dwarven Sorcerers, for example), serving as examples of modification/customization rather than bolt-locked restrictions. (Although, personally, I prefered the variant that had advancement slow-down after reaching max level...

Well, reread the sentance I wrote before the one you quoted me on. You might have missed something.;)

A bit behind in your Star Trek Lore, ain't ya? Seriously, I do see what you're saying, so allow me to rephrase: While D&D evolved into a game were RP was as important (or more so considering that RP was built into the system on several levels) as mechanics, the fact that the system can now be...

I wouldn't know... I was just pulling a system out of my arse as an example. I could have easily said Cyberpunk.;) Seriously, I flipped through a V:tM book once, and a thread a few weeks back had me take a good look at Exalted, but I don't actually own any of these or had them in-hand long...

The system? Nah, I don't think so, since I'm definately in the "problem's with the player" camp. On the other hand, I believe that the "cure" is best put into the rules somewhere, and with enough detail to make a difference (although, like someone posted earlier, an in-depth look at...

In my view, any archtype that is common enough within a specific setting that many people can easily enough achieve it should be a Base Class for that setting. For instance, Rokugan has a lot of political intrigue within it. This presents a game where playing a politician should be a viable...

Well, as stated, I just loaned the thing out, but as I recall, it was hardley anything to hoot and holler about. At best, it provided "background" information that, at best, only contributes to the stage rather than making the stage a "living" component of the game in play. As for the rest, I...

With my son? Nothing, really. (A bit of advice, though... Never ever ever called a Golf player a "golfer". They resent it--at least, the rich ones I caddied for did. You don't call Football players "Footballers", after all.) My point is that, eventually, as role-play is removed from the...

If playing "The Realms", I recommend the Giantcraft ESD. While 2E, it provides a bit of historical and cultural information usable in FR (including the bloodline relationship between Giants and Dwarves). I do have LotP; I was only suitably impressed (i.e., I don't feel that it was a waste of...

Two campaigns finished (with my definition being that all story-lines were wrapped up and everybody lived happily ever after). One with me as a player (8 years) and another with me as the GM (5 years). My current campaign is coming up on its 7th Anniversary/Birthday/Whatever, and is about...

True, but it would be the basis of actual case discussion instead of hypotheticals. The beauty of hypotheticals is that, with enough thought, any outcome can be determined as the logical result. Probably, yes. I can see where you're getting at, but (from my perspective) the problem is a little...

The idea of "no theft occuring", as I seem to be reading it, is that filesharing results in an act more akin to counterfitting. For instance, if I buy a copy of Lord of the Rings at the store and then set up a printing press to crank out 50000 copies, I haven't stolen anything because I haven't...

Inspired by this thread, I'm starting this poll to determine something about the current trends in the community. While I understand ENWorld is but a slice of the whole picture, I figure it's good enough for the purposes of this poll. So the question is: How long have you been playing and...

Well, my son has fun tossing a golf ball around in the back yard. However, I think we can agree that he's not playing golf. Bzzt! Wrong answer. (Intended as humor, really.) This isn't about players disliking immersive role-playing; It's about players not willing to role-play to a basic...

Yikes! I've been getting compliments all day. My stars must be in a good alignment or something... Oh, and thanks! This is true, but to a degree, it isn't. For instance, let's look at Insanity (Unearthed Arcana). While I am using this rule, I've rewritten some of the components to more suit...
