    Warhammer FRPG 4th Ed PDF Pre-Order Goes Live on DriveThruRPG!

    Yeah 20 XP for race, 50 XP for career and 50 XP for Attributes. Depending on how scarce XP is, it's probably better to get the character you want to play. For instance I rolled Halfling and kept it for 20 XP. I then rolled Villager as a career, no thank you, so I rolled twice more and received...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay's Core Character Stats

    Defiantly more excited for this than Pathfinder 2e. Talked to C7 at Origins and they were looking at July for PDF and book in late July or August.

    Worlds of Design: How Would You Design For Spelljammer?

    We wanted to like Spelljammer back in 2e. Read the books and comics, they were good but didn't really help with understanding the whole crystal sphere thing and how they related to each other. Really wanted to like the setting, but it just didn't jive. We did manage to do some space battles, go...

    D&D 4E Finally, a playtest reporting there are good things from 4e in Next!!

    Like everything I am hearing so far, but I felt the same about 4e and run PF now. I did have a 2e Wizard killed by a house cat. It hit with it's first two attacks. Damn house cats! Also had a whole party wiped by stirges in the first encounter of the adventure. Ah, the good old days of 2e, let...

    Seminar Transcript - Reimagining Skills and Ability Scores

    Loving everything that I am seeing so far. 4D6 drop the lowest is my groups preferred method. I really like the role playing/ on the fly feeling that I am getting. Let's see if it translates to the actual game. I got the same feeling from the pre 4e info and was disappointed. I fall into the...

    Class Compendium: Heroes of Legend

    I'm fairly sure they won't. Not good economics at this point, but that can change. They will continue to support 4E though, electronically if nothing else.

    D&D 4E Played Dark Sun 4E Last Night

    Too, too, see, I do type English. BTW, English is my native language. :) Space rips Dice4Hire's arms off, cause I'm a Bad Mofo, and beats him with them. You have roll dice with your feet now, ha. Back on topic. "Divine magic is virtually unknown on Athas. The gods of old have been silent for...

    So, Dark Sun: It's officially out. What do you think of it?

    I have played the other two editions of DS, so I am a fan of DS. Have not been impressed with 4e and was dreading the mutilation of DS by WotC. I have felt that 4e lacks imagination, my opinion, not trying to start anything. Don't like the new FR or Eberron, very blah to me. I am trying to...

    D&D 4E Played Dark Sun 4E Last Night

    1. Why didn't the Paladin die horribly in the first encounter when his divine powers didn't work and he realized that his god was a figment of his imagination. 2. Any hero walking around in full plate = death by dehydration 3. Get a feel for the setting and take Larni's suggestions. 4...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Excellent idea. Over hundreds of years they developed arcane powers, they originally had psionic abilities. This allowed them to develope arcane/psionic portals to move on to the next world.

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Actually I'm a big proponent of rules as a guide line rather than end all and be all. I was trying to make the point that in a pocket dimension, you could have the Gods. Excellent ideas Robtheman. I especially like the phasing existence idea. Could a hero shaman have such a spirit as his...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Lol, so long as there are no angst ridden Jedi or I mean Mind Lords, who are bad actors.

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Like your ideas a lot, being a fan of both authors. I would go with two moons. Make it as exotic as possible. The second moon contributed to the loss of moisture. It was originally a comet that was captured by the invaders and put into orbit. To help with the pacification of earth and create an...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    All excellent ideas. It has been excepted that the Primordals killed the Gods, though. Hence the empty upper planes, but if it is a pocket dimension that could work. I remember that it was near impossible to get to the Athas sphere from other spheres in Spelljammer. I had a party that did it...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Haven't read any Bujold novels, have been meaning to start one of her series. I have a huge stack of fantasy novels to get through, if ever get any free time. Dwarves is at the top right now. I spent a week in New Hampshire on vacation and didn't read a single page of it. :.-( If you enjoy old...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    Thanx for the link Darjr. I am a little famaliar with the site. I am a far from a regular there though and find the site hard to navigate. I went there first for the moon references and couldn't find them. I had thought that the site had a Dark Sun encyclopedia at one point, but I couldn't find...

    Dark Sun: Athas, Its Moons and You

    I agree, I have found some of the "sacred cows" to be a little stale in 4e. Perhaps, it's do to the fact that I have been playing D&D for so long, or the boardgame feel that 4e has. I am not trying to start any flame wars, please don't derail this thread. Just my personal opinion. I have enjoyed...
