    Oh shoot,that would be great swag. No, I am not attending (now), but I hope that you have some great panels.

    I almost cried...

    Ahh, success! Congratulations. You've arrived. :cool:

    Slucher's Art

    Whoa! Amazing. I keep thinking that the sword has trapped magma in the hilt ready to erupt out of it!

    Rule 0 and DM/player balance of power.

    As everyone carries on the fine traditions from the original three book set. :) I first encountered this with the red boxed set when I got started. A refinement of the current system. Namely, a little more articulation of advice about how to handle the communication issues surrounding Rule 0...

    WOTC undecided over OGL/GSL. Why you should care

    Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing? Andy Collins had been optomistic for a decision soon. If this is true that they are reconsidering, I wonder how much of it is related to Paizo's decision regarding Pathfinder?

    Pramas: D&D his way??

    Only game designers with some recognition like Mr. Pramas or Mr. Cook get paid (occasionally) to put out new rulesets. However, every game sees tinkering. Why else would everyone understand the notion of houserule instantly?

    In need of a Pirate Ship(s)

    I had the exquisite pleasure of being allowed to use Piratecat's ship at the last Boston GameDay. Now I want one of my own! (If you need a smaller ship or two, well, I have suggestions. They don't hold 20 crewmen; they do crash into bazaars.) They are lovely models and now that I've used one...

    The State of Our Hobby

    Is this the "everybody should use Windows" argument?;) Your heart is in the right place W.P. Keep us all coming together. The means? It won't happen that way. The point that the market is fragmenting more right now is spot on. (My next campaign is going to be Mutants and Masterminds.) This...

    Building an undead Treant - Suggestions?

    There are three different kinds of undead tree creature in Into the Green from Bastion Press. I created one of them (the uragh dhu, or black yew), which had level drain, a fear aura, a triproot attack, and the ability to rot wooden objects. The latter freaked out druids and rangers with wooden...

    Pathfinder 1E Pramas on Paizo

    Wizards did state that they will extend the exclusivity window. That still made it impossible for Paizo to have something for GenCon under the GSL. I imagine that's why they pulled this out now (and were working on it for a while before).

    Pathfinder 1E Pramas on Paizo

    I think it's a great move for Paizo. I wonder if the market will slowly fragment more over the next 8 years. Third Edition and d20 brought many back to the D&D fold. 4E may bring in new players who were hitherto not part of the fold. Wizards will succeed with their game. However, will the...

    Miniatures/Grids/Tactics and In-Character Combat

    I don't. I'd be interested to hear from your players what their take is on it. You're describing an immersive experience with rules to increase the immersion. I think that's cool. I also think that many groups aren't mature enough to handle that. Wait, that's perhaps insulting. I think many...

    Pathfinder RPG vs Book of Experimental Might as 4E Alternative

    With one run-through of BOXM, my players are begging to use it all the time. However, it goes a lot of steps further away from core if you use it all. Pathfinder RPG gears up to do one thing very well, as observed upthread. It supports the world of Golarion and the type of stories Paizo wants...

    Running a city/kingdom?

    I can't think of a product anywhere that covers this in any depth though I admit to spotty experience with the d20 field. What, may I ask, do you want this for? Are your players asking for it, or is this for your own benefit? If the latter, I think you'll spend a lot of time on this for little...

    The Economist's obit on Gygax

    The author seemed to be someone who had played Third Edition too, or was at least familiar with it. I think this does go to show that EGG had a broad impact.

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    You had an excellent ending for the game Piratecat! Thank you for that. I'm going to end any and all sequels in that fashion. :) I'm looking forward to the quote sheet. And also looking forward to the next time.

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    I made it home safely. In record time I might add! Caught a full hour and a half of the dance with my daughter (the one she told me about yesterday heh heh). My most humble thanks to Piratecat and KidCthulhu for being such excellent and affable hosts. My great, effusive and overly wordy thanks...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    PirateCat, thank you muchly for directions! Do you have a date for that please? I might be able to manage, but between my regular gaming, GenCon, and a trip overseas in September, that will be tough. Thank you for the invite!

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    Wizard and sorceror actually, with a few tweaks from here and there. The sorceror is a little better at earth spells. She has an item familiar (intelligent chastity belt) and has some new or altered-for-flavor spells (blast of ash, scouring ray, wall of dust). The wizard is from the House of...

    Boston Gameday - Sat, March 15th (FULL!)

    I guess my query got lost. Where do I find directions please? Characters are done for my game. We have a desert raider, a mamluk, a dervish dancer, a mullah, a corsair, a desert scout, a scholar from the House of Science or a saif to choose from. Eight total. If anyone wants to see a couple in...
