    Let's Forget the Forgotten Realms

    D&D 4E Is PF combat any faster than 4e?

    My gut tells me this is correct. One thing about Pathfinder vs. 4E and even 3.5, PF characters generally have more options. Because they have unlimited ability to cast 0 level spells and have class features unavailable in 3.5, like sorcerer bloodlines or cleric domains that allow you to blast...

    PF 1880 World Building

    Dragons: giant hila monsters. Orcs: miners mutated by mining deep deep deep to find weird metals. Skeletons and Zombies: laborers worked to death who keep on toiling or looking for replacement workers, i.e. the living, to take their place. Golems: Frankenstein's monster, steam-jacks, this...

    If summoner is gonna take a 1 level dip into another class, what should it be?

    Hmm. Bard could be useful until we get to higher levels, though I guess I can still take ranks in perform somehow. I like the +2 to Ref saves and all the cool stuff. Never considered monk, partly because of the flavor difference since we are in a minimally Celtically inspired campaign and...

    Critical Hit Barley Wine

    Well, my thought was based on a conversation with a friend about Anchor Steam which tried using the Hymn to Ninkasi as a recipe for beer. I think I recall him saying that it didn't keep long due to the barley content. Then I read this part of the link I posted above: Ninkasi’s 2010 Critical...

    If summoner is gonna take a 1 level dip into another class, what should it be?

    So we are planning a new Pathfinder campaign in March and I want to run a summoner. But I'm also considering maybe trying to stick a little closer to the DM's background which includes training by the town to handle the coming expected annual attack by a fire weilding monster. And his design...

    Gaming Fans Absolutely Blow My Mind - A Rant

    Never read the comments. But this reminds me of a story. I was sitting in the first session of a critical thinking class last year, hoping to move from the waiting list to the enrolled roster. Our first in class assignment was to read through the comments on a news article and write down a...

    Critical Hit Barley Wine

    One of my Christmas presents was a 4 pack of Midas Touch beer from Dogfish Head brewery. While trying to find that I found Ninkasi brewery, which takes it name from the old Sumerian beer goddess. I found Midas Touch and other Ninkasi beers at Bevmo. Doesn't look like Bevmo stocks Critical...

    Modron miniatures

    This idea still uses 6 siders, but the other ingredient is rare enough you probably can't make it work. I remember my old Warhammer 40K plastic space marines had their legs seperate from their torso, arms, etc. They were the old starter box which came with plastic sprues. If you have spare...

    D&D Camp?

    I believe Black Diamond Games has run a summer boot camp for DnD. Also Dr. Comics and Mr. Games has a role playing workshop with a DnD camp, I think. Maybe it was an after school meeting, but it has been some time since reading their pamphlet. Both of these are in a brick and mortar location...

    Heroes of Neverwinter as 5e Preview?

    I have read on the Atari forums that some people don't use the fighter anymore, presumably because they don't have marks or other complaints. Instead they double up on clerics, which also solves any healing problem you might have. While generally I've had minor to no problem with healing, a...

    Heroes of Neverwinter as 5e Preview?

    I've played it and still play it. It's gotten a little grindy and while I'm at level 6, only 1 other friend is that high and only 1 is level 5, most of them stopped at level 2. It is a version of 4E that I can play and enjoy, though the socialization with friends around the table is missing...

    Your favourite botches

    The only botch I remember off the top of my head was sandwiched between 2 crits. I was playing Robotech back in the day and fired at a squad of Zentraedi battle pods. I rolled a natural 20, they rolled a natural 1 to dodge. Then the DM asked me to roll again and I got another 20. The last...

    RPGs and "Bodily Functions"

    Well, I don't know if I can say it was an agreement, no matter spoken or unspoken. I don't think I've ever noticed if we tried capturing someone in this manner. But we've used the act of peeing to search for secret doors, so based on that, well, I suppose it would not be off limits.

    Should blue players have an advantage?

    Blues players may have an advantage. Recent studies suggest the complex tones involved with jazz keep you distracted trying to decipher them.

    Need advice on surviving assassination attempts on my character.

    I'm guessing all the henchmen are part of the Kingmaker campaign? I'm not sure if a carrion golem is strictly neutral in alignment, but cacodaemons, even if they are your familiar, maybe not be the best things to hope to protect you from harm. Just saying.

    Need advice on surviving assassination attempts on my character.

    About 6 or 7 years ago I was in a campaign where my cleric was attacked by assassins a couple times. Never figured out why, because the outcome of the 2nd attack left 2 dead, one of them turning out to be the friend of my character's wife, but I did have some stuff up my sleave. Firstly, I was...

    [November] What are you watching?

    I don't suppose you know the name of the Boardwalk Empire episode where a bathing beauty is ticketed for having too short of a bathing suit?

    Nerfing rules in game

    Yes. I think maybe that's a forked thread topic, maybe not. For me, I'm probably playing down the annoyance aspect of this particular gamers gaming style. Perhaps if I had stated "Look I'm not putting up with your Bizarro World rules interpretations" he'd have been fine and continued playing...
