    Grey Region Toronto - Dead?

    Hairy Tarantula rocked... years ago, i remember when they gave us a preview of an upcoming radia ad. It said: "we're at 'whatever #' yonge street, 2nd floor, right across from the..uhm..uhm..Zanzibar" I love Zanzibar :D :) Fire - a friend of mine; whose also a player in my game, he...

    Wizards in 4E have been 'neutered' argument...

    People complain that this or that isn't fun...stuff like losing a spell while it was cast in older editions. One of best battles, and memories of D&D, was a huge, epic clash, at a mountain fortress, where we ended up defending (with our PC's bodies!!) the cleric trying to finish a 1 turn (10...

    Sigil NPC list, Venues list and Map downloads

    I'm currently looking into getting this map printed on high quality photo paper (if very large poster sheets are available), full colour, and then laminated for us. I've started to DM a new heavy house ruled 4e/3.5E mix Planescape campaign...where at least for the first 4-6 levels. It's gone...

    Why I'm done with 4e

    Tyrlaan-- My group would disagree.... By what standard is the minotaur unbalanced? The standard gamer who's experience in D&D is run to this room, kill this, do the next room, roll a dice to see if i can negotiate with him, then go kill the next monster? yes, sure...if all you do is fight...

    Why I'm done with 4e

    THe realism I meant is that, have you ever swung a hockey stick, etc over your head? You physcially can do it. If i thus walked up to you, i could get hit in the face or neck with that stick, etc. Physically you CAN do it. In our group, the Thoradorian IS a barbarian...but again, there are...

    Why I'm done with 4e

    Phaezen... If I understand the argument, I think my previous example covers it best: ------------- ...we have a thoradorian minotaur (and we allow stat bonuses higher than +2, since it makes sense for that race, and players prefer it to be how it should be...regardlessof if it's their race or...

    Why I'm done with 4e

    I think it has to do with DM/player style and preference. With the style of my games, players prefer 3.XE. If i did pure hack 'n slash combat fests (as my friends experiences with the Living FR sessions are), like Diablo, i think they would prefer 4E... No such thing as a wrong choice and...

    Why I'm done with 4e

    hehe i see a major difference here...people speak of how their adventures are inspired by comics, etc... My adventures are inspired by The Divine Comedy, Se7en, Natural Born Killers, Mirrors, the SAW series, Dark City, and Paradise Lost..... hehe :) Sanjay

    Why I'm done with 4e

    I see some ofthe frustrations with 4E and i think, this current planescape campaign I'm doing will determine if we scrap 4E (granted, a heavily modified 4E full of house rules), and go back to 3.5E and just add the few mechanics of 4E that we like into 3.5E. So if anyone wants book, I may...

    Which Comes First? The Campaign or the System

    We choose a system since i won't write concepts for an adventure if we aren't going to play. If we are going to play, we had to choose something..once weknow what game we will play and who will DM, then the adventures/concepts get written. The difference is, to get the adventures/gameplay in...

    Character ability v. player volition: INT, WIS, CHA

    My players are more of the acting/hardcore simulationist crowd...you should see the roleplaying we had in friday's session..not a single dice used for about 2.5 hours out of a 4 hour mini session (I say mini since normally we play saturdays for 10-14 hour sessions). From experience, with my...

    More Dark Sun Goodness

    it kinda fits i guess... Dray, created by Dregoth, the few that escaped New Gustinal wandered the place; mainly being untrusted. There were 2 types..1st gen, and 2nd. First gen were stronger, more of warriors. The 2nd gen were more intelligent and more like casters. They also had a more...

    Alternate Magic Systems for 3.5?

    After a friend wanted to be a true wild mage (not the travesty that was the 3.5E prestige class version, or the 4E sorceror)...true as in..lots of good/bad random stuff happening (and the rest of the party loves it), I created a custom magic system for him for 3.XE. Then, as friends (mainly the...

    E3: Prince of Undeath?

    There was a playtest some folks did at the wizards site with a tarrasque and a party of 5 or 6 (forgot) andthey took it out in 2 rounds i think it was and the tarrasque couldn't attack back...I believe they did max the characters, but the fact that it's even possible in a standard system shoudl...

    E3: Prince of Undeath?

    good thing DMs can modify creatures as they wish to challenge PCs... I really hate how they nerfed epic D&D icons in 4E... Fairly pathetic when such legendary foes can go down in 1 or 2 rounds without even doing anything... Sanjay

    Dark Sun Revised vs. Original

    I really liked the new races they added....so will certainly be house ruling them into 4E dark sun (Lready have all the races converted for our house rules, and any races missing or losing their flavour to fit the generic 4E mold, will be house ruled anyways) some of the contents from the...

    It's Dark Sun

    To the person mentioning that Dragonborn won't fit into 4E Dark Sun... We use dragonborn as Draj, from Dregoth's city (forgot name right now...from the boxed set, City by the Silt Sea). Just changed some powers, a few house rules for other things, etc..and voila :) You can always modify rules...
