Sorry everyone, I guess that was a bit of a threadjack, so I started a new thread.

Thanks Marius, that will save me a lot of time. At my job I use word to layout comany documents and I've designed a few brochures like that, and I've found the same thing you did: I spend a lot of time fighting the software. The thought of laying out a 200 page book like that gives me a...

I'm writing a game system and while it won't be ready to publish for a year or two I need to start figuring out the programs I'm going to lay it out with (assuming this is a feat I can accomplish myself). I really don't know anything about creating PDF's, and unfortunatly I don't know anyone...

this sounds like one of those emails from overseas that didn't make much sense to begin with but was then badly translated so it made even less sense

I haven't read all the responses here, so sorry if I repeat any ideas. It sounds like your player isn't a bad player, just rash, and isn't really screwing up your campaign too bad (I've seen much worse) just not going with the flow. You might run a short session, and hour or two, with just...

I've been in a similar situation, although the significant other my friend wanted to bring in didn't have different views, she just wanted to customize any character she played beyond the rules or so it didn't fit in our group. It created hassles for me as a DM, and it caused the game to slow...

I have no idea what you are trying to ask here

I'm writing a western campaign and after watching some western movies to get into the feel of it I notice a lot of characters in western movies had cool nicknames. I've been trying to think up some good ones, but it's tough to just make them up. Any ideas? I've only had one character with a...

I've played in two campaigns where the group took a name. A shadowrun campaign in which we were a street gang called "the harbingers" Recently a friend ran a short 4e campaign where all the players were kobolds and we were trying to make a name for ourselves and break free of the oppressive...

I am so glad I found this thread. My group fell out of gaming near the end of 3.5, and when 4e came out it brought us all back together (combined with the opening of a game store in my small town). But since then we have all come to wonder why we still play, and what we are in it for. We have...

I've been wanting to play this class for years. the best I could do was play a kind normal guy in Mutants and Masterminds and build him with good unarmed feats and extra damage.

I tried something similar to this. I took out classes and class features. I took out daily powers. I went through martial powers and took out the ones that didn't fit and allowed players to choose any from the lists. Whenever you would get a new daily power you would instead get a new at will...

I think that too often people don't realize that metagame knowledge can go both ways. Your character has spent every minute of this life in side that fantasy world, he has trained for years to hone his fighting skills, and he has honed his senses so that he makes good judgements (otherwise he...

With resources being scarce or nonexistant I'm sure cannibals would have become a problems of some degree. I think it would help us if you gave us a little more information about your world and it's themes.

Dude, do you really need to keep telling us this? We can't even concieve of 5th edition or have any impact, we get it. or just not listen to turtlejay, the rest of us are interested in what you have to say. (meant to quote turtlejay here talking about, "Basically I am a fan of the ability of...

Whey does almost every post you put up have to begin by saying someone else's post is stupid, then you share your ideas? Why not just leave the "holier than thou" attitude at the door and simply share your ideas?

I agree with De Ganis, if people discussing thier percieved down sides of 4e isn't your thing then don't post in this thread. I like 4e, but if I (and every person in here) felt obligated to be polite and explain all the things about 4e they like before discussing things it could improve upon...

Here is my problem with your way of thinking: I play with a group at a local nerd store where most of the group doesn't talk much outside of the gaming table. When we get together it works best if we can all play off what is in the books. Telling everyone that you are running something for 4e...

I like the direction Adbul is heading, a unified system of managing all that stuff would give more customizability but still retain the basics of the system, and IMO I don't think 5e will be totally different from 4e, I think it will change more core stuff (depart from the inherited mechanics)...
