IMHO the term "outsourced" is loaded with negativity for many North Americans who've witnessed good paying jobs lost to cheaper labour overseas, often resulting in poorer quality and more junk for consumers. I think Jeremy was trying to steer people away from any negative conotations that come...

I really like your brainstorming in this thread :) (Some "yoinking" will be happening for my 5E game, lol) With respect to Twilight vision: I have played with the concept myself as a replacement for Darkvision for some races (Elves have Darkvision?), so I'm not alone with the idea. I'm...

I was going to suggest the HET from SFB too! It was my favourite stunt and most of my opponents overlooked it so I dealt many enemy ships a decisive blow (often combined the maneuver with overloaded torpedoes, heh-heh), leaving them as limping, flaming hulks. Klingon ships were better than...

Oath of Devotion: I think LG fits best. LN and NG are possible. Devotion implies loyalty and commitment and I don't see chaotic personalities sticking to their promises. Oath of (the) Ancients: begs the question who the Ancients are - deities or entities of all alignments? A full pantheon...

Hmmm, looking at it again, there is something "War of the Worlds" about that flumph... :heh:

See? They're not wimpy after all! Lasers or lightening bolts; must have!! :D

Good job! Obviously a lot of work, so thank you for sharing! (The few PG-18 spells were funny to bump into.) I just had a thought: there has been no Sticks to Snakes spell for many years, and yet it was a classic for Clerics back in the BEMCI/1E/2E days. I would like to a see a 5E version...

I actually own a copy of Council of Wyrms; your Dragon PCs pdf brought back some memories :) As an initial work, I think it is very well done even though there are questions of balance as you've mentioned. I have down loaded a copy and I will see if I can get some players to try it out (may...

I really, really like this approach. The idea that players roll stats not just for themselves, but for the whole table to use, is a lovely "outside-the-box" approach. Consider it *yoinked* :D

I'm a long time fan of Pathfinder, and I still buy some products that interest me, particularly setting-neutral material but not exclusively so since I have collected 5 APs and the base campaign setting book(s). I am also a DM of the BECMI era, and I've DMed AD&D 2nd Ed., D&D 3.0/3.5, and have...

I cut my DMing teeth on The Known World. It was my first exposure to an RPG setting, and it's super-rich details published in the 1980s were pure entertainment of themselves. I own a copy of the full BECMI series, and all official Gazetteers + Dawn of the Immortals + both Trail Maps + a few...

Last night I brought my new shiny copy home and spent a good 3 to 4 hours reading the introductory chapter and leafing through every single page to admire the art, read bits of stats, and savour some of the fluff text, notes and sketches in the margins. Honestly, this review is really on the...

Hello, I picked my new book yesterday at my FLGS here in Ottawa, ON, and my book is fine. I spent all last night leafing through every page to admire the contents (fabulous book btw :D) so, upon reading of this problem today, I can confirm a 100% properly printed copy. :)

I got to know more about Gary Gygax in the last decade of his life than any time in my early days of playing D&D ("blue dragon" edition) -- mostly because we gained a community on the web, and over here at EN World he dropped by to visit :) Thank you, Gary.

Glad you brought this up. The folks at Paizo specifically stated the PrCs in their new book are Golarion-oriented and *not* generic by default. I quote James Jacobs if I may: "There's a reason this book is in the Campaign Setting line, folks... my philosophy is that prestige classes are MUCH...

This is easier than we think! The OP question is a good one but it is less of a problem than people suggest when one thinks about it. Basically, players do not know the actual AC of the targets their PCs are attacking. Although they often learn a close approximation. It is up to the GM to...

Yeah, lovely paint jobs :), but the black disks under their feet are sort of distracting to me :erm:. I suppose one could glue/attach some terrain features like grass on the base, and thus minimize the appearance of those disks.

Fantastic Echohawk! Really, really great! Thank you very much for taking all that time to put this together. :D

Wonderful! I'm looking forward to the details. Looks like a great gift and indoctrination - er - training tool! :D

It is for this, as well as other considerations, that I would offer players gender differentiation as an *option*, sort of as follows (for D&D/PF/d20): Male PCs can choose to augment their STR by 1 or 2, but must then lower their DEX by 1 or 2. Female PCs can choose to augment their CON or DEX...
