Ehrm, a .pdf is not software. It's just a file.

On a roll of 2 or 3d6, each +1 modifier increases the chances of success by a variable amount - 2d6 vs. DC 12, there's one way to succeed (two sixes), but 2d6+1 vs. DC 12, you have three ways to succeed (two sixes, a five and a six, or a six and a five).

Yes - TPK. Or, to a lesser extent, losing your character. Dying almost always means you failed to overcome a challenge, i.e. you lost.

Go with 4e: Pros - New players you recruit can easily find the books to buy Full support from WOTC moving forward - if you sign up for their pay website The new ruleset could add a breath of fresh air into the game, mechanically. Cons - All your game rules intuition goes out the window $$$ to...

I'll never understand this impulse to take something that REALLY sucks in the game -- dying is equivalent to LOSING the game -- and trying to come up with ways to make it suck even more. Is your goal to have players always start new characters after they roll a natural 1 on their save vs...

Fable, I would have thought that Neurowiz's post (http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4202843&postcount=60) had answered your question. If it's a spell that offers a save, have the target roll a save; if it requires an attack roll, use the magic attack of the caster. For saves, per the base...

I can't BELIEVE no one has mentioned Microlite20 yet. Rules light, compatible with pretty much any 3.5/d20/OGL stuff you throw in, and easy to customize, too. http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia?action=browse;oldid=HomePage;id=Microlite20 ENWorld discussion...

OMG 4e is a German board game!

A 3D gametable to "help" play D&D online really misses the point. I stand by my original assertion.

I'm expecting diaglo to pop in with a "OD&D is the One True Game" quote anytime ;)

Both of those could easily be done in Flash.

What is this "polish" you speak of? We ARE talking about WOTC's software, right?

Speaking as a professional programmer, nothing I've heard announced for the DDI needs any features that they can't accomplish with a decently-designed website and perhaps some Flash programming. They're doing one or more of: Using a bad design (hmm, look at Gleemax. This one's a gimme.) Using...

I'm trying to run a campaign using M20 - the basic theme is "Eberron pirates". Since it hasn't really gotten off the ground yet (silly people who say "I'll come" and then cancel at the last minute...), I can't speak to M20's durability for a longer-reaching campaign.

You can't go wrong with Microlite20 :) http://home.greywulf.net/m20/ ENWorld discussion: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=219419

I disagree. Your dedication to releasing a non-buggy ENWorld v2 is a credit to the site. As others have said, take all the time you need - many of us would rather wait a few extra weeks under the old codebase rather than wait on site-crashing bugs! Go easy on yourself. You've done far more...

This isn't a game-related opening, but my employer is looking for another programmer or two. We're a small company in Minneapolis, MN that does a variety of web development projects, mostly e-learning type stuff. Since it's an entry-level position, our requirements are pretty basic. We're...

Bump. It seems like this sort of fell off the edge of the Earth late last month. Anyway, the gameday is this Sunday. I hope to see everyone there!

I've used Dundjinni. It's pretty good for making battlemats. I haven't used it to make overland maps, but I know it has features to support that level of map.
