    What should be turned into a RPG?

    You could do Supernatural with just the core book but Hunter the Vigil adds some nice options to make it even more suited to the TV show. In fact, I'm planning to start a HtV game based on Supernatural as soon as my group finishes KotSF. Warhammer 40K is an AWESOME setting. Have you checked...

    How frequent are dragon encounters in your game?

    To tell the truth I can't remember the last time I had a dragon encounter.

    Dwarven name generator?

    I use EBON all of the time to generate a large number of names, paste them into an Excel spreadsheet so that as I use the names I can add information on the NPC that I've given the name to. Easy reference for when the group wants to go back to talk to an NPC later on in a campaign.

    November '08: What are you playing?

    Crap... I've managed to stay out of the MMORPG arena up to this point. I discovered that someone is getting the WoW Battle Chest for me for Christmas. My wife will probably end up leaving me once I get hooked.

    Suggestions for the best Strategy games

    One HUGE vote for Dawn of War. I can't stop playing it. If you have the core games and the 3 expansions there are 9 unique races and each race has totally individualized units. Each race has their own strengths and weaknesses and thus different strategies. The unit animations are spectacular...

    Edition Idol

    For me the "D&D Feeling" ended when 3E hit the shelves.

    [WotC_Logan] Why is Tiamat Huge?

    Black Holes are super dense and small but so incredibly destructive that they can consume entire solar systems. SO therefore... Super Density + Small Size = Incredible Power The Dungeon Master is small, yet is super powerful Yoda is small, yet is super powerful Tiamat just wants to...

    Bold typing in the Century Gothic font to make it look like 1e AD&D is AWESOME!!!

    Kindle or e-reader work for 4e pdfs?

    I've got a Palm TX and it can read PDFs. I've never tried something the size of the PHB though. Since it is using Adobe Acrobat I can't see why it couldn't though. It can also read/edit Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files which makes it nice to keep a list of Character powers so I don't have to...

    That Magic Feeling

    I'd go with skill based casting. Specialists would get skill bonuses to their primary school and the adjacent schools but take penalties to the schools adjacent to their forbidden school. The DC would be based on Generalists though. A Generalist mage that has the maximum skill for his level (no...

    Super 2E Hybrid

    I never felt that the Druid was a weak choice. In AD&D they shoot up the levels and leave most of the other PCs in the dust until they get to higher levels where they slow down. I never did like the True Neutral limitation so I'd get rid of that. Personally I'd use the Players Option books...

    How Many Battles Per Gaming Session?

    I'm running my group through Keep on the Shadowfell right now and we go through about 3 combat encounters per session.

    Feng Shui = Big Trouble in Little China the RPG

    Nah... new characters. I was thinking that they might get brought into the game by listening to Jack Burton do his "Dark and stormy night" bit from the end of the movie. ;) I'd probably skip the museum in favor of the private collection of some wealthy artifact collector. Might even be a way...

    Feng Shui = Big Trouble in Little China the RPG

    Oops... Good catch! I also posted the message at RPGBomb to get more feedback. Must be careful with "Copy-Paste" method.

    Feng Shui = Big Trouble in Little China the RPG

    In a horrible case of impulse buying which will for sure have my wife griping at me I just ordered Feng Shui from Amazon. Anyway, Big Trouble in Little China is probably one of my all time favorite movies. After doing some research and reading the reviews I've come to the decision that Feng...

    Predict the Future: How will what we have today EVOLVE INTO 5th Edition?

    I think people miss the sepeculation and discussion itself. Example: I was a little depressed after the recent elections not because of the result but because my favorite watercooler topic wasn't really relevant anymore.
