One thing that came up in a game I ran and a game I played in: buying down ability scores. I created a laundry list of rules for character creation some years ago for a high level 3.5 campaign. What I didn't consider was that anyone would lower a stat to squeeze out an extra point or 2...

Paizo's Free RPG day module http://paizo.com/store/games/roleplayingGames/p/pathfinderRPG/paizo/pathfinderModules/v5748btpy8j5w is for a party of goblins and it lists Paizo style goblin games, like crawling through a roll of rusty barbed wire. Of course, if goblins in Eberron take a clue from...

Certain other message boards may lull you into a false sense of security because you see posters using [expletive deleted] and so your own "what I can and can't say filter" might not be as effective as it could be. Not that this might apply now.

Funny that the OP's name includes the word paradox, because here is a problem with new monsters. Jon: "You see a short shaggy monster stalk over toward the party. As it gets closer you see [whatever]." Chad: "Oh it's probably just an xvart or something". Jon: says nothing but looks at Chad...

Currently playing a sometimes-campaign of Apocalypse World and sometimes-campaign of Legacy of Fire adventure path. Also playing a more regular but planned to be short campaign of Warhammer 40K as Rogue Traders using the FATE rules. I'm looking forward to avoiding and entertaining an...

1. Who was/were your favorite character/s that you've either ever played or ever DM'd for and why? 2. Race/Class (if applicable) 3. How did the character(s) end in the game you were playing? TPK, Solo Death, Retirement, Godhood, other (maybe still playing it)? The username I chose for much...

Anybody else watch this? I've missed one hour of the second episode, but I know they'll play it again and again. And probably again. I liked the parts about Remus and the other unknown (to me) names of the day. I was thinking it might provide some interesting background info for the...

Sounds like somebody was watching Ken Burns' new Prohibition series.

Stasis pods.

Of course it is out there, you just can't tell the difference between the men and women, not being a dwarf yourself ;) On a serious note, skimming through the first 3 or 4 pages of google images I'd say a bunch of the stuff out there I'd not want to use, though some of the minis that show are cool.

I've heard that the Burning Wheel system is like Mousegaurd. If that is true, I'd probably try a different system. As a player it never clicked with me.

I suppose it is all relative or subjective. I don't think I've "wrecked" any game I've been in, and looking back on things, I've played very few "classic" adventures, read them mostly, and I suppose depending on age, classic could mean Monte Cook's Ptolus stuff mentioned above. We totally...

Summer is over and school is back in session, so maybe they got stuff to do.

That's ridiculous and this will surely make it to Anderson Cooper's Ridiculist.

You should avoid Apocalypse World if arguing and interparty conflict isn't something you want to deal with.

So, did anybody watch it last night? I didn't. Was that a good decision? FOX Broadcasting Company - Terra Nova on FOX - Official Site

Back in d20 boom days, maybe before 3.5 was released was a website with dungeon building tips. It was one of the first places I recall reading about the 5 room dungeon design. If I bookmarked the page, it was on my old computer which takes a bit of magic to get going again. But I'm trying to...

The thing that worries me about Monte's post is the bit about Expert ranking. Will our skill be simplified into: Novice, Intermediate, Expert, and Master or something very un DnD in my mind? Although, in the same vein as 4E, maybe we'd have name level skills, like: Novice climber Intermediate...

At first I thought the bad guy was going to be Peter, but forgot they spoiled it by saying it was a shapeshifter in the trailer... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Kinda like Family Jewels spoiling Shannon accepting Gene's marriage proposal.

I thought he was writing sci-fi/fantasy in the non-gaming genre.
