    Dimension Door - in relation to each other?

    Personally, I'd keep the same relative locations, not cardinal. The guy to my left is still to my left, the guy to my right is still to my right... etc.

    Nearing 100000 members - How did you find En World?

    I used to read a Yahoo group about rpg design. I can't remember what it was called. When someone posted about the WotC contest, someone in the same thread mentioned this place. I came over. Even though I rarely post, it's one of my favorite sites.

    D20OpenRPG Needs You...

    Oh, cool. You run the Pathfinder SRD site. I love that site. I can't commit to joining the project because of my own projects, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

    D20OpenRPG Needs You...

    Can you tell us how you're improving Pathfinder, and what need this project is filling? I hope that didn't come across as anything but curiosity.

    Those are gorgeous!

    An Idea: Gemstones Powers And Alignment

    It's not really irony, but it's funny that the first thing I thought upon reading this was "Lawful good=diamond". I hadn't seen your name because I have my browser's text blown up to compensate for eye drops I have to use for a while and it was off screen. Here's a way I might break it down...

    D&D 4E What ever happened to all the 3D 4E stuff?

    If I remember correctly, there's a bit of a sad (real world) story about its cancellation. I don't want to state details on something like that without solid facts, but maybe someone else will be along.

    Flight vs Teleportation

    You could, if you could teleport to the other side of the planet and fall upwards, then teleport back to the ground on the other side at the apogee. Changing latitudes would be rough too. But if it isn't conserved, then you inherently match v and acceleration with the target, right? What...

    How many abilities do you prefer to track at once?

    By "abilities", I'm not talking about the D&D abilities of Strength, Dex, etc., I'm talking about things you can do- actions you can take. Feats, class features, maybe even skills... but mainly I'm asking about combat. 4e streamlined abilities a lot with powers, but in 3rd edition, there were...

    AD&D 2E [2e] What made 2e great?

    This is one of my opinions, too. More generally, the spells, and how they could have non-explicit, but logical effects. Fireballs set things on fire sometimes (but not always since they were over quickly), lightning behaved a lot like electricity would, etc. This encouraged players to...

    AD&D 2E [2e] What made 2e great?

    What do you guys think about the philosophy of 2e? I think that 2e was very focused on the wonder of being able to experience a fantasy setting through a character. If you notice a lot of the color artwork was a single moment in time, with adventurers traveling or resting, almost reflecting on...

    AD&D 2E [2e] What made 2e great?

    I know that it's probably the least favorite edition, at least in some quarters, but I will always love 2e. I'm thinking of doing a tribute game. Not quite a retro clone, but stand alone game that attempts to capture some of the feel, flavor, and magic of 2e. I'm not really doing professional...

    I'm making a video game demo alone, learning as I go.

    I have the Golden Age pilot mostly finished. I still have to do her weapons and a few accessories (a ring, etc), but I'm moving on to the next character. Here are some pictures: As you can see, I changed her face a bit. I also changed the texture on the sandal straps a bit after these...

    Second Life; Why Should I Be Playing It?

    The Pros of a free account: If you enjoy randomly exploring an interactive and constantly changing museum/amusement park, go for it. If you want to casually create 3d devices with option of adding scripted gamelike behaviors (guns that shoot and do damage in damage-enabled areas), go for it...

    I'm making a video game demo alone, learning as I go.

    Thank you. You're right that I haven't finalized the design 100% yet, but I will. In the asset phase, I'm leaving myself open to new ideas to make the demo richer (I've started with a pretty basic idea), but before I download Unity I'll write up a formal document and stick to it. I have much...

    I'm making a video game demo alone, learning as I go.

    First, I'll say that the game I'm working on isn't as ambitious as I'm about to post below. I'm doing a demo that will serve as a proof of concept for the ideas below. One "level" that combines orbital combat with a short land mission. The game is called "Mystic Space" so far. It's Space...

    I'm making a video game demo alone, learning as I go.

    Hey everyone, I've been posting about this elsewhere, but I thought that you guys might be interested too. I think I'm on the right track. A few weeks back I was playing Vendetta Online, and wasn't having much fun. I liked the flight mechanics and the physics, but the overall experience was...

    Which virtual tabletop do you use?

    Oh, and I'm sure this is a common feature, but in Fantasy Grounds, there's a combat tracker that allows you to resolve your attacks by rolling dice on your foe. If tells you if you hit, and if you do damage, it applies it automatically. It speeds up combat quite a bit, and frees the GM to...

    Which virtual tabletop do you use?

    I swear by Fantasy Grounds II, despite its problems. It's fickle, but not buggy. In play it feels almost exactly like a very focused tabletop session of D&D. You move your tokens, roll your 3d dice, the GM can change lighting and show visual aids, etc. You also have a character sheet that you...

    About Reveille

    I haven't been around much, but I remember him under his old name. Coming here today to find the forums running at a decent speed again and finding this drama is surprising. This might have been an attempt at...something, but ultimately it's pretty low. I remember AngelsBoi. I remember others on...
