Its 3.0 with a few changes IIRC

I would say events and npc motivations. I may have something like xolo the sorcerer wants to be king fangrad the mad finds a magic ring its unusually cold this year freezing crops Then work them into the game as things happen. I like to react to what the PCs are doing rather than push the...

First off I agree with everyone who said if you dont like it dont run it. As to the AC problem, I would just pick higher CR monsters or add a couple points to the enemy BAB. If its only the one player with the high AC give the other players some magic items to boost the other player AC a bit to...

I like the fact my players will entertain me by roleplaying on there own and I can just sit back and watch.

Wait... does this mean Encounters right now does not always have combat?

Normally no, but Call of Cthuhlu seams to get more dress up than any other RPG I have run. Heck even I break out a Fedora.

Kingmaker is more work to DM but if your players aren't into some hefty roleplaying the first part of the second Council of Thieves adventure is going to be pretty rough and probably not a lot of fun.

If you already have the 4e books I would go with Desolation if you like dice pools. Now your going to have to make up some rules for some things like the matrix and firearms (its a fantasy game) but Desolation is a d2 dice pool game with one opposed roll for combat and free form magic (ala mage...

Open Style Commitment - For example while MRQ is also open, the worlds are not. I can find more wiki information about various Pathfinder rules and world information that I can about MRQ. I wouldn't say they are the only ones who do high quality or open games but they go above and beyond most...

I think Paizo is very "go with the flow" if it sells keep going with that don't rock the boat where as WOTC is very "buy the new shinny, keep up with the group!". Both are successful buisness models but ultimately WOTC is paddling up river because they need to convince the players that the new...

So there are lighter games out there but I'm going to suggest New World of Darkness just the core mortals book. The rules are medium-light but really easy to grasp and with the exception of merits, morality, virtues and vices (all of which you could play without) all of the character creation...

As long as there are paladins... I'd say pretty important. Besides I love imps!

An alternative suggestion is to use the slow progress table for both, lowering the difficulty of CoT a bit and raising the difficulty of KM a bit.

I have not played the other two but I did like Keep on the Borderlands. Much like T1 it was not just a dungeon, there were other side quest and things to explore.

Its still 3e, just with some tweaks and adjustments sorta like moving from 3.0 to 3.5. The HUGE part for me is the quality of the product Piazo is putting out there and then the high amount of stuff that is becoming open content. This makes me buy Pathfinder stuff even if I wasn't all that...

Redmond... There are also the GW stores (Dark Heresy and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay), Barns and Nobel and Borders. At lease one of the B&Ns has an RPG section that rivals most gaming stores. [edit] and of course many non-mall gaming stores

Yes, its called not giving a toss if the encounter is balanced and running a mystery style game where fights are rare but the PCs have a good chance of loosing the battle if they go in "guns blazing" For example have that level 1 party try to save a village from the "monster eating all the...

Layoffs are never good but it doesn't mean that WOTC is doing bad, just under performing. If your a 2 million dollar company and your projecting 80 million in earnings, people are going to get laid off because your not hitting that 80 million mark but that is what your hired staff to fill for...

The cards I think will help y'all most but one other option that may help but in a less significant way is max all die rolls. Then no one is looking for what die to roll and rolling it. Longsword just does 8 damage + STR Mod x2 if crit. I would also throw out the confirming roll and just say if...

/Agree Lets be honest they bought WOTC for Pokemon, which then underperformed. I wouldn't be surprised if expectations are far to high.
