I've really just been skimming the thread (having come in a bit late), but I find myself wanting desperately to add my reply here, because I'm finding this very relevant to the situation I'm finding myself in with regards to the game that I'm running right now. I avoided banning anything in this...

Me too.

Alternately, because you can make a perfectly good Dwarf Fighter with the ability scores you already would have had, you can keep your 16 (or 18, or whatever) Str, count on DWP and other Dwarven bonuses to keep you top-of-class for Fighter, and have 7 more points to buy up other ability scores!

I think this is the errata. The version in Seekers of the Ashen Crown is woefully under-powered. This one must be updated to the MMIII maths, I'll have to use it on my players next chance I get!

I'm hoping that not much in this product will need to be converted to 4e...

I'm buying the Essentials products, in fact I'm getting kind of impatient for some new books to read. I am a bit underwhelmed by some of the design choices (but I haven't actually seen them in play so that could change), and honestly all of the previews and subsequent (over?-) reactions to them...

When I started playing AD&D, a "campaign" was simply all of the adventures run by a given DM. You'd have Steve's campaign, Rob's campaign, Chris's campaign... You'd need permission from the DM to move a character from one campaign to another.

To be honest, I think his main problems are that a) he was introduced to 4e via events with pre-gens, and b) he wanted to play a Swordmage, had been told that the PHB1 was "outdated", and didn't need most of the content in the FRPG, and so he ended up buying the Swordmage power cards decks - and...

My existing subscription expires in August. At this point I won't be re-subscribing. If I keep using the site I will most likely donate the $3 (at least) each month, but a recurring subscription is a deal-breaker for me. And that's if I keep using the site. Honestly all this new stuff just...

I've had my own issues with the CB... I agree that the character sheet formatting, and especially the cards (which I tent to use more than the sheet, anyway) can be unhelpful. In addition I've had problem with the program outputting bad math, although I've had a helpful suggestion not to leave...

I'm tempted to log a bug anyway, but AFAICT it's not repeatable, and I can't really guess what would have caused it. When I rebuilt the character from scratch the max hp value came out correctly. I think this may, in part, be due to "fiddling"; I think the monster in question I wasn't sure what...

I've done this dozens of times now - it's been a standard house rule in games I've played in and those I've run. I use the houserule "button" to add a "user choice" feat. Every other time I've done this it calculates correctly, even when I re-did the character from scratch. It was showing up as...

So I see a lot of comments about how great / indispensable the Character Builder and Monster Builder are. And I can see the point - calculating all that stuff by hand is a real pain. I know how much of a pain it is because this weekend, after the game I ran, I went through several characters...

One thing I just thought of: if you're switching to lower-level enemies as standard, would you also do away with "bonus" expertise (if any)? Well then I hope my paragon-level experiences (someday, when we finally get there) prove similar. Although I'm not sure if will ever be able to throw a...

I would tend to disagree. Swingy combats are more dangerous for the PCs, and when you add to that the fact that you'll be running more combats per level I think there could be a problem. I don't think I like the update, but I don't think it's anything I'm going to get upset over. I haven't...

+1 Mouseguard is brilliant, both the comics and the game. Personally I had a year and a half of flailing about trying to figure out Burning Wheel, and MG pretty much just made it all click. I think the biggest advice I'd have regarding the game would be: do what the book says, not what you...

Mouseguard Burning Wheel In A Wicked Age Barbarians of Lemuria

Dunno. I'm pretty sure I'm a lunatic, but I've also been feeling this way since at least Adventurer's Vault and Martial Power where released. Not sure if that's part of my lunacy or not... Thing is, in any given book there's usually at least a few cool options that I would have liked to have...

Wouldn't that just be all Gnomes in general?

While this is true, to a point, of any genre / system, I think this is exactly what causes problems in supers games. Personally I like PL, it's the tightest such system I've seen in a supers RPG, and it's specific enough that IME you don't get players trying to ignore it or work around it as in...
