    Short Story on WOTC Site, by a certain flying rat

    Really enjoyed the story! More of these please WotC (and from Ari).

    Dragon 368 - Domains of Dread: Sunderheart, the Funeral City

    I like the article, evocative and with suitable info provided. Liking the maps for both versions of the city; the monthly night of revelry sounds more than worthy of inclusion. And I LOVE the idea of a DnD/Sliders.. Perhaps with a little more control over the situation, but a pressing story...

    Psych me up for Dark Heresy

    One thing I LOVE is the humour of the injuries tables. Flaming soon-to-be-corpses setting nearby characters on fire, head exploding and splattering those nearby.. Black humour throughout :)

    Looking for a new system!!!

    *Correction made for my own fussy sake.. Huzzah! Reading this series at the moment and my RPG sense had been firing throughout. Anyone played the quick start? (Semi-relevent to OP but fork if necc :))

    A Humorous Moment

    Definitely sounds like like a fun moment. Stuff like this ensures staying at an Inn doesn't just become a technicality but a chance for roleplay and setting depth etc. :)

    Scales of War #4 is up!

    Count me in the same boat. I'm using firefox and have tried every permutation of clicks, and still no luck :S *grumble*payingforitnow*grumble*

    Heroic/Paragon/Epic - How Famous?

    As most have said, it depends on context. For example, in the heroic tier, I imagine the characters starting off as unknowns, perhaps a little distinguished with their village/neighbourhood/tribe etc. Then as they progress and achieve, the information will ripple out, so that people from their...

    Are milestones enough of a motivation to avoid the 15 minute adventuring day?

    Are they also out of surges? Or resting purely to regain dailies? Thank you for honouring me with your post Lord Morrus! XD

    Barbarian is up!!!

    I was thinking along those lines too. I'm now interested to hear how the AC/(temp)HP balance works out in play. If I had 8 days in my week I'd run one through some tests. Sadly the Beatles sold me down the river.. ;)

    Are milestones enough of a motivation to avoid the 15 minute adventuring day?

    Quite how I missed that out of the equation I don't know.. The test-run I did with a buddy to show him the ropes was RP-free (he was controlling the whole party) so the adventuring day didn't enter into it so much. Glad to hear everything is working for you guys, thanks for responding (first...

    Are milestones enough of a motivation to avoid the 15 minute adventuring day?

    Discussions on the Barbarian thread got me wondering; what are people's experiences in regard to PCs burning all their dailies in a Nova-fest? Has it been an issue? Are players reserved with their dailies, or somewhat trigger happy? Do you enforce longer days through adventure design/RP...

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Man that smiley looks mean! You'll be glad to hear that in my own clumsy attempts to keep it brief I appear to have mislead you. I am, like you, concerned that armour feats are necessary to bring the Barbarian up to speed in a fashion that could detract from its flavour if taken to extremes...

    Primal Defender - any guesses?

    I can imagine there not being one. It's pretty unlikely we'll see a martial controller either, but a primal defender does appear to have more design space to it than the former.

    Sacred cows: Where's the beef?

    As soon as I can't kill something and take its stuff, I'm gone *groan* ;)

    Barbarian is up!!!

    Consider this a vote for a Rage Strike sidebar, 2-handed weapon requirement and some sort of AC fix. :)

    GM specific Forums/help?

    I'm a big fan of the blog Gnome Stew, and it's associated forum You Meet in a Tavern although I haven't posted much in the forums, when I have responses have been quick. Lots of good quality advice and discussion, with a occasional D&D specific articles but mostly more general. It has lots of...

    Glad to have helped :)

    Wraith Recon? Anyone have it yet?

    That's Amazon for you.. Might get it early.. Might get it REALLY late.. :S

    Warhammer Fantasy vs. 40k roleplaying

    If we're talking about Dark Heresy here, or indeed it it's the same in WHFRP, IIRC Advanced Skills can only be used if trained, where as basic skills like Gamble I believe use half your attribute score if attempted untrained.

    What kind of challenges could a tribe face?

    I like this, I've been thinking along some similar lines for a while. Some thoughts: * If the tribe are nomadic, perhaps their traditional route becomes more dangerous/blocked/another tribe is moving in front of them, depleting resources as they go. * Further to Intra-tribal conflict example...
