    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Not entirely sure there's a slot, or interest (I'm in the middle of running my HackMaster game right now, so I don't have time to check), but would anyone be interested in me running some Classic D&D (probably Moldvay B/X) in the morning? It'd be pretty much a straight romp through my personal...

    Why are they making demi-humans taller?

    Is rules reflecting fluff a bad thing? Do all class combinations have to be equal? If people take halfling fighters because they want to play a halfling fighter, even if it's not quantitatively the most optimal choice, then I think we're doing it right. Slaving the design philosophy to...

    Why are they making demi-humans taller?

    (Psst - joking. Poorly, perhaps, but joking all the same.)

    Why are they making demi-humans taller?

    Well, fair enough - that's one vote against 3e-style waifish halflings. Anyone else? ;)

    Why are they making demi-humans taller?

    [/WINS THREAD] "Explaining away" D&D's traditionally short halflings doesn't take that much brow sweat, really. (That's if you really need that much mental acrobatics to maintain your suspension of disbelief - I don't.) And, quite honestly, I always thought that the unique challenges involved...

    When you as DM cry foul in the players' favor

    Green slime, especially in older editions (where there's almost zero rules for how not to die once you've touched it). Quite often, it was inserted into a module, for example, clinging to a ceiling with no indication that it would be there. The upshot of this being, if you didn't randomly...

    Meta-Game Rewards for In Character Play

    HackMaster solves this problem rather handily, with Honor. In a nutshell, playing your character according to their race, class, and alignment, especially when it's against the character's best interest to do so, will earn you Honor. (So will general bad-assery, but this is supposed to be a...

    Was the 1E assassin ever playtested?

    Those longbow specialists cranking out 6 shots per segment could ruin a 3.x PC's day pretty fast.

    HackMaster in RI / Southern MA

    Hey, folks, Our group has pretty much split in the last few months - people moving, in the army, busy with work, or just hanging out in the woods all the time - and we're trying to do some recruiting. Is anyone interested in joining up with a pretty laid-back group? Right now there's just the...

    Milford, MA: Looking for amazing gamers in central Mass!

    I should probably make it known that we're full up, now - we just had a quick party growth spurt, in the last few weeks. But if anything changes, I'll post it here.

    Milford, MA: Looking for amazing gamers in central Mass!

    Let's see... Yes, yes, and definitely. I haven't had time to touch my tabletop stuff for some time, now, and I'd love an excuse to dig it out now that I'm done moving. Check your email, sirrah!

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    Awesome, awesome, amazing, awsome. Great to meet everybody, hope to do it all again and more next time. Enjoyed the hell out of Rodrigo's scenario. I've never really gotten a chance to RP in a sci-fi setting before, and it was nice to finally get some payoff for years of devouring...

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    Still wracking my brain for what to bring. I may bring several dozen eggs and a frying pan and make omelets, if the stove is available. Otherwise, we can go out afterwards and egg Old Man Smithers' house. Anyway, look out for this guy: 'Cause he's me.

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    In keeping with my Confederate war hero character, I'm wearing rebel flag bikini briefs and a gun belt. Anything less would be uncivilized.

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    Looked over the Serenity handout, looks awesome. Sign me up for Pilot Kerrin McDougal, if he's still available. Then I can try and keep you hopeless groundhogs from holing the hull and giving all of us a chance to suck vacuum.

    Providence, Rhode Island Gameday -- Nov 11

    Sign me up for the Serenity game, gentlemen - that sounds like a blast. I'll go over the handout this weekend (in between moving - yecch) and try to have a PC picked by Sunday night. Still waiting for two guys in my group to confirm if they want to come down - I'll know by Tuesday night, and...

    Doom of Listenshire, tell me about it!

    Hmmph - just saw this one used the other day, now I might have to pick it up. (Sorry, Mousefer, maybe you can tell your boss that you have it on good authority that someone bought one copy twice. ;) )
