Thanks I did not see that thread. I must say that is full of win. I love the style in general and the tower at the mouth of the river is sweet. Thank You

Often I convert often, as I have a ton of adventures from 1st ed. through 3.5. Also, I am good (I think) at coming up with the "grand design" but I bog down on the small details, and esp. maps. I am also pretty good at adjusting things on the fly, so if a conversion is not perfect, I can...

Hello, I have pre-ordered The One Ring RPG (from Amazon, so no PDF). Since I can not geek out on the rules, I am using all my Tolkien books to geek out on a adventure. I think I have found a good one. I have found references that the enchanted river in Mirkwood flows from the Mountains of...

edition war I wonder if he has any opinions on which version is more satanic. I wonder if in staff meetings he and his staff get into raging arguments over which edition is worst. I love the visual I am seeing in my head over that arguement I assume he, himself is a grognard, and thinks the...

I can see it He was not really comparing gaming and cancer, and even said he hated to use the analogy. His comparison, was he doesn't understand why people make the comment. Your last statement is an example of an understand statement. By using the word "problem" you are acknowledging the...

the other side I on the other hand, use the new WOD as the measuring stick. If the game claims to be fast, it had better be as slick as nWOD (core). I don't much play the big (literally) monster template books. Mostly because between the core book, Mirrors, and a couple of splats, I have...

atari Hello, So, do we think that the rumor of an announcement that was pulled and the Atari agreement regarding digital rights (see thread in industry forum) are connected? RK OH, there is a thread in this forum already discussing the connection.

wait How is the University of Alabama Football team balanced against Vanderbuilt University? (same division, same conference). Or how is the Dallas Cowboys (usually at the top of the payroll max) balanced against the Browns (usually toward the bottom of the payroll min). Just because they...

Interesting I think it is interesting that White Wolf, another big dog from days past, has (I think officially) discarded the real book market in favor of PDF development (and maybe Print on Demand). I think WOTC can certainly make the e-delievery stream work as their main focus. And...

Mwp Agreed. I don't there were any negative post in thread about what the new licsenes MWP has gotten for the Cortex System. RK

Yep. Even in the front part of the 3.5 PHB, it tells players to run their character idea by the DM, as the DM may not allow all Races or Classes from the handbook. There were many adventures/campaigns where I (or another DM in the group) said "Ok, an all human campain", or "all dwarves"...

more forgiving Huh, I find D&D, esp 3rd and 3.5, to be more forgiving on character design than any point based system (including nWOD). The class and level abilities make you at least ok (usually) unless you actively pick a "bad" build. I have found it very easy to build a nWOD character...

fun I took it, didn't use google, and got 50%. Three I knew were wrong, and I guess right on one. Funny thing is, I didn't make the leaderboard (no surprise at all). But, if i would have used Google, I would have made it with the 50%, and I know I would have gotten at least one more right...

my guess I don't think they will announce 5th this year. I think they will announce a new product for 4th. It will be a tool box, for taking the core 4th edition rules and either dialing them down or up in complexity. It may be a book, a box set, or just a DDI add-on. Or all three...

wolfpack Isn't that pretty much standard wolfpack type tactics? I admit I don't have a full grasp of the whole Dissociation thing, but this example seem completely normal. By way of disclosure, I don't play 4e, 3e, or any MMORPGs. RK

start with core Hi, I think the World of Darkness is a great system that can handle a lot of different genres and stories. I would start with the Core World of Darkness book, then, buy the PDF of the book Mirrors (it is a book that tells you have to change the core rules to make...

I think I could run this At first, I thought you were out of your mind. Then I digested it. I think this could work, I think I could even run something like this. First, I would chuck the actual D&D Mechanics. Keep the cosmology stuff though. Since I don't know the other...

Hi, I would like to start a thread to track silly guesses about WOTC. I would ask, that whatever your guess is, give some reasoning for it. Here goes mine: WOTC will sell the D&D IP to White Wolf Publishing/CCP. Why? Well White Wolf has also moved away from Print Books, and they are part...

Holy Moley I have no prediction about 5th Edition. But I bet that Lisa S. quote will live on in thread wars for years to come. RK

V&v V&V game in college. Playing by the book, everybody is playing themselves as masked superheroes. On one mission, they break into the lab of a scientist who demands they leave; they rough him up a bit and break a bit of stuff before they go. He presses charges. One of the...
