"Transparent math assumptions/approximates" Things that break down the math assumptions allowing us to tweak or craft monsters and traps.

The unboxing video of the starter set specifically talked about this. 1) seeds are mentioned to loosely connect the starter set adventure to tyranny (ie reference to a certain group as a potential encounter in phandelver that would show up again in tyranny.. Trying to avoid spoilers) 2) that...

in case it hasn't been mentioned yet (and apologies if it has since i haven't read this whole thread) but the premier is tuesday september 24 in the US. Don't know about elsewhere.

I would think it comes down to if it's a direct fight out in the open, or if something batman gets the drop on ironman. if it's an open direct fight, ironman wins -- he can stay out of reach (via flight) and just keep blasting if it's something batman can approach stealthily, i'm sure he'll be...

i can still hear "sticks to stakes" like a sound bite echoing in my head whenever I think of this game. It was a lot of dungeon-crawly fun.

who would have thought that stick figures could make me sad. (that's bad cause it's sad. that's good cause i guess it means i am invested in the characters and story. curse you, Rich, curse you!!!!)

Random thoughts: 3 months in a small isolated town like that? easily every corner could have been turned over and so hiding spaces in town that still have people hiding in them? very slim chance of that, i would think, depending on how thorough they care to be. asmodeous is more about tryanny...

If I understand your post correctly then, yes, it does occasionally happen with people I know as well. What usually happens is we have someone saying "Okay, so it sounds like we are all saying the same end result - so let us work with that end result so that we can move on, and we can each...

Is playtesting worth it? that depends on your value and enjoyment from fiddling with a new unfinished system. I personally enjoyed a session or two of playtesting BUT i don't want to devote my entire game sessions to playtesting as I prefer something I can play with consistency in my campaign...

Games I played in the past month (some older but still new to me) Agricola (ZMan Games) This was fun and had some varience that would add to replayability. I couldn't play this -all- the time but could enjoy playing it once in a while. It's a resource management / build your community style...

Our group is seeking new players to join us as we start a new campaign in the New Year. We will be using the Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition rules set tailored to a home-spun setting. As it will be the start of a new campaign, now is a great time to jump in. Expert knowledge of the rules...

hmmm.. i wonder if anyone buying the game now would get the Ll brother's reference/easter egg? :-)

my personal experiences... only played it once while at a friend's place out of town. Overall i had fun. of course, i just had the one experience so don't know how it feels in the long term. Nor do I know what my friend was doing as a house rule versus rule-by-the-book since i didn't read...

truth be told, it takes me LONGER if i am using a premade character sheet. I use my own word document (so i can lay it out in a way that is logical for me personally), but i do have all the stuff calculated ahead of time. So I don't think your argument should be that he needs to use a premade...

it's not there in this playtest. currently only way to get proficiency is via class. i suspect that later on there will probably be a feat for it or something, but for now, no, there isn't. unless your DM wanted to start houseruling it as some sort of benefit from a made-up specialty (dwarven...

103) was suffering from a broken heart

99) Was busy reporting the party's activities to the local law (can't go around killing things without law officials noticing sometimes....and they'll want to know why)

53) Is the blue wizard and he needed food badly

45) Had an adventuring-lifetime's worth of bathroom breaks to take at once 46) Thought he needed to "train" to gain his next level up 47) Was busy reading magical tomes to explain to him how he would be changed during the next rules iteration 48) Went chasing the underwear gnomes in the...
