    Do you allow electronics at your gaming table?

    I wouldnt play in a group that banned electronics. That seems like it really over steps a boundary between people. I totally get not wanting to deal with the person who's playing Pokemon or games on their phone or tablet DURING the game. That's just as bad if not worse. But banning my ability to...

    The edition wars have hit a new low

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of 4E at all. But burning books? Even 4E books? That just reeks of attention seeking, self-aggrandizing stupidity. WITH A CAPITAL S. At best I'm putting my 4E gift set (still in near pristine condition) up on Craig's List.

    Tact-Tiles Are Back - Kickstarter Now Live!

    I have backed this project. Boy I hope that the word gets out and people back this. The timing is kinda crappy though as it's coming out right as D&D NEXT is. If it's theater of the mind then there's no real use for it for D&D fans is there. Pathfinder/4E/3.5 Players on the the other hand...

    D&D 5E (2014) My New Players Have Quit 5th Edition

    I run a Pathfinder game. Even in Pathfinder when my players started out (almost 4 years ago) I house ruled that at 1st level they start with max HD + their CON score. Not their CON modifier, their CON SCORE. I have 5 players. Each one has lost AT LEAST 1 PC in combat. Trust me, house...

    D&D 5E (2014) Necromancer Games - 3 5E books announced!

    Im not in on this Kickstarter but I really hope that it does get funded. I hope that Necromancer doesnt get bit with 5E like they did with 4E. Third party support for D&D is a good thing and I hope that it continues. As long as it doesnt affect any Pathfinder releases, more power to them in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you going to buy 5e?

    Laptops at the table..and recent research showing how bad it is in education..does it carry over to gaming?

    There are a couple of things that I find disconcerting about this thread. As a result I'm glad that I dont personally know or game with most of you. Distracted players, because that's really what we're talking about here, existed before tablets and smartphones and other electronics. People...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you play in or run a 2 hour pick up game of D&D ?

    2 hour "pick up game"? of D&D/Pathfinder? Yeah, huge waste of time and so not worth it. Would rather setup a game of Zombicide or Super Dungeon Explore instead. Or Munchkin or Pandemic. Or even the Pathfinder Card Game would be a better option. Especially if I have non RPG people in that group.

    D&D 5E (2014) Buying Adventures

    I've been subscribed to every AP from Paizo since the beginning. That alone is 81 different volumes of adventures. That doesn't include the adventures I own from basic, 1E, 2E and 3x! Heck, I even have CHAMPIONS adventures from 4th Edition and 5th Edition. Then there's my collection of...

    Adventure Utilization Poll

    Other: I use prewritten adventures almost exclusively these days. I tend to run them for the most part as is then make changes for group composition, levels and number of players. Sometimes I’ll swap out a monster or group of monsters for a different monster. The most tinkering I do is to...

    D&D 5E (2014) The cost of D&D 5E (it ain't so bad!)

    I'll just say two things: 1) 4E was very expensive for me. I, despite my misgivings about the system, figured the only way that I'd know if this is going to be my replacement or side game is to buy the books myself and run he game. So to faciliate that I purchased the D&D 4E gift set from...

    Interstellar (trailer)

    Nolan puts together trailers very unlike the rest of movie trailers are put together. Go back and re-watch the teaser trailers and then the main trailers for INCEPTION and THE PRESTIGE. They both seem like theyre giving away alot but pretty much are only giving away the SETUP for the movies...

    Star Wars Episode VII cast announced...

    Here's what I'm hoping for (even moreso that the new movies actually be good) I'm hoping that Disney/LucasFilm releases the original cuts of the OT on BluRay. Just to promote the upcoming new film. PLEASE DEAR GOD. PLEASE. It's been long enough. I have the films on LD. But just to have...

    Star Wars: Disney scraps the Expanded Universe

    As most obsessives tend to do. This thread kinda represents the alternatively the Best and Worst of fandom. The more rational fans understanding how these things work and the other side taking it personally and kind of lashing out at the thing they love and other fans. I love my hobbies...

    Star Wars: Disney scraps the Expanded Universe

    The more that I think about it the more that I think ditching the EU stuff is a GREAT idea. Granted there are things about the EU that I think would work great in the films but as I said before alot of the EU stuff is of questionable quality. Great fuel for RPG's where things can be reworked...
