The moderators over at Relic's forum can be a bit draconian when it comes to discussing balance issues with their new game so I thought I'd start one up here. What are your experiences so far with the various races in Dark Crusade? I find that either the Imperial Guard are too weak or the...

Sweet... I've sent you an e-mail with some info. I look forward to hearing from you.

You might want to pull out an old 1e AD&D Monster Manual so you can size up the giants and compare them with 3.X giants. The last person I heard of that ran ATG using 3.x said that the 3.x giants are a bit more powerful than their 1e counterparts.

Edit: Looking to start a new group that would play Saturday later afternoons/evenings on a fairly concrete schedule (1st and 3rd Saturdays of the Month or something like that). I'm looking for players in and around the Woodbridge/Dale City area or folks who wouldn't mind driving in. We play...

Bump! :)

Best Buy is posting October 10th as the release date for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade. Damn I can't wait! Best Buy Link to the Game

Two words... Watch Patlabor. You can find it at Netflix and it is a Japanime series/movie that deals specifically with this subject. You'll get all the info on a cop-mecha based campaign. The reason why is simple... in Patlabor "Labors" are used for all sorts of things that we see heavy...

Someone please post a link. I did a search on Amazon for all things Warhammer and nothing on a 40K RPG came up.

I just received the C&C Players Handbook and Monsters & Treasures yesterday and I am very impressed. I love that skills and feats have been done away with... there is IMHO no reason to get that specific in what a character knows and does not know. If it makes sense that your character knows...

I haven't really looked at it beyond flipping through it in the bookstore. I couldn't help but plug ICE's MERP (Middle Earth Roleplaying). Sure it is out of print but you can still find the books on E-Bay easy enough. To steal Diaglo's quote "MERP is the only true Lord of the Rings RPG... all...

Hoody Hoo!!!! I just found out today that my group's new GM is going to us C&C for his new campaign! I finally have justification to go buy the book(s). :)

I think I've come to the conclusion that one of the things I don't like about D&D is the hit point system. I really like how Mutants and Masterminds handles damage in combat but I've got no idea how I'd fairly create a Toughness Save vs. Damage system for D&D to replicate it. The typical...

The way I look at it the DM is providing entertainment to the players. Take the cost of your average movie ticket and half it because the typical movie is at least 2 hours long. That is your cost per hour per player and then multiply that times the number of players that you have to come up...

I've come to the realization that 3.5E just isn't doing it for me anymore. The never ending books of additional feats and basic classes are just one of my gripes. I also just don't have time to create NPC parties and advanced monsters. Anyway, two titles have come to mind for me to jump into...

Has anyone thought about doing this at one of the Game Parlor locations in either Chantilly or Woodbridge? I can't speak for the Chantilly location but the Woodbridge location has a very large game room that would be plenty big and I doubt anyone would have to pay a dime for it. There are also...

Two words... social interaction. I've felt some of the same gripes as you but I keep gaming for the social interaction aspect of the game. The adult American culture has become more and more withdrawn. No longer do people have anything to do with their next door neighbors beyond saying...

I've not been to TerpCon before and was actually looking forward to it until I read some of the posts here. I might still go up there if I can convince my regular group to go... if nothing else we can use it as an excuse to run our own game. The ENWorlders need to present a unified front...

The Wizard/Sorcerer spell Mage Hand works great for situations like this. However... Somehow I think we are missing part of the story. If that really is what happened I'd have a problem if the Rogue successfully checked for traps. However, if the DM is like me he/she would never let the...

I prefer to have my players roll 4d6 x6 as normal and arrange them how they like. However, I also allow them to ditch their HIGHEST roll for an 18. If they get a bad score then fine, I want them to have a believable character that has a flaw or two but I also want them to be really good at...

I've got a group that plays in Dale City every other week on Friday nights starting at 8pm and going roughly till Midnight. We just finished that introductory Eberron adventure found in the Eberron campaign setting and everyone is still 1st level. Our group is getting a bit on the big side (6...
