    another rpg industry doomsday article (merged: all 3 "Mishler Rant" threads)

    Wait a second.... Did this guy not trash Paizo in the first post for lowering the price of the their PDF version of the PFRPG to 10 bucks? (I mean "Pathfinder Effect" en wot?) Then in the final post he lowers the price of one of his core PDFs to 1.80$ from 9$? That is the exact same price cut...

    Pathfinder 1E Will Pathfinder be the fix?

    Ewww, Itch Scratching.....Not at my table. As for the games that I am playing right now? I am running a crew of folks through Monte Cook's dungeonaday.com (we are almost to the second level of the dungeon) using the 3.x rule set and I run a bi-weekly game for my wife and a few of our mutual...

    What flavor of 'Old School' do you like?

    I usually play the originals as opposed to clones, but I do own C&C and have found it to be a good game. And last weekend my group tried out Hackmaster Basic and had a FANTASTIC time of it. In fact I believe that out of all of the "old school" style games that are not D&D I believe that...

    Dealing with unthankful players

    Sure, I agree that it is an entirely different skill set. But if a player knows enough about GMing to complain about how their GM is going about it, then it seems to reason that they may know enough about that skill set to run a game of their own. Because a player criticizing the GM for "doing...

    Dealing with unthankful players

    I would talk to them out of game. Invite them over together, or singly on a non game night and sit them down, and let them no that hey are hurting your feelings/pissing you off (or whatever it is your feeling raw about). I have been playing with the same folks for about 2 decades and sometimes...

    Dealing with a DM who takes things too literally

    Your DM is malfunctioning. Return it to where you purchased it and ask for a replacement, or a refund. While I do not particularly care for all the sliding, pushing, and pulling involved in 4e, I have played it enough to understand that it is very key to several builds. If you take away a 4e...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks Part 2 (New thread)

    Aye the new monk is fairly serious. I am not sure how I feel about the BaB increase on flurry. I thought the 3.x version was powerful enough IMO. I am however excited about the possibility of adding armor enchantments to bracers of armor. But all in all I cannot wait to sit down with these...

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    Sorry for the double post, but out of curiosity, do you have a hard time finding gaming groups that will make the choices that you want in regards to drinking and smoking and whatever else? In short, how long has your gaming group been together? Have they always been anti-substance? love...

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    I have to say this is an interesting thread. In respect to the anti-smokers, I used to smoke cigarettes (I did so for over a decade actually) and sure I will admit they stink even for a couple of minutes after the fact. But there is no "smoke" radiating from them after about 15 seconds. Its kind...

    I really don't like the Compendium links in articles.

    It seems to me that a PDF with embedded links to another service is a strange malfunction, as it makes the PDF unreadable anywhere where there is no internet (and where that internet is being monitored or blocked). If it was in a free article then maybe it makes a little sense (but honestly if I...

    Why the beer hate? (Forked Thread: What are the no-goes...)

    Drinking and smoking were always allowed in our gaming group. Although over the years cigarette smoking has become a "step outside" thing for anyone wanting to do it, as several of our members gave up that habit over the years. And its not like the smoking repulsed any of us, it was just an...

    What do you think of reality-sim players?

    In your particular scenario with the picts being turned into a native american backstory for a player. This is fabulous! Now you can make an evil antagonist sway the tribes (or possess them, blackmail them, or gain new blood thirsty chieftains, or other wise be forced) into evil actions. And...

    What are the no-goes for you?

    wow, We could not game together. All of my players used to smoke. But over the last decade all of us have managed to quit, but it was never an issue. there was even smoking at the table until, my group started popping out kids that wanted to play. Society punishes smokers enough for me to not...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    Oh wow, the same few folks are still here complaining about the PF allip? Jeez, if you don't like it then don't use it. If you are going to run PF and you want to use a draining allip as opposed to a damaging one, then just do it. Its not like its any amount of work on the DM to exchange the...

    What can Google Insight tell us about RPGs?

    It would be interesting to look at this data with the Y axis values in place. I have to assume that those values are not absolute and rather different for each group of searches. love, malkav

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    I wonder how multiple bites from the naga are handled. if that is in fact a poison counter (the 10) that says how long it can last. If a second bite were to occur do you think another 10 rounds would be added to the first? Or maybe the countdown just resets and can climb back up towards 10...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Sneak Peeks (Old thread)

    I am not sure about the part of the reading that is in parenthesis (The (10) after 1 round to be specific). But the rest of it looks like it plays like this: The monster bites you and you need to make a fort save DC 19 or take 1 point of con damage. The poison will continue to to do one point...
