I'm not talking about Xena- it's just that Chakram is the correct plural of Chakra, and I wanted to head off someone correcting me for using "Chakras". I was just saying that I tend to look at magic item slots (neck slot, head slot, ring slots) as corresponding to places in the soul that have...

I suggested this a while ago- I'm a very, very simulationist/immersionist guy, but for some reason I love 4e. Anyway, for me it helps to assume that "The gods" or some other powerful interested beings are watching. Their excitement and cheering gives the PCs power, which allows them to do...

I want to say that if you added 3d rendered dice as an option, I'd probably buy a GM's license. I use Fantasy Grounds right now, but Battlegrounds has some features it's lacking. The only thing keeping me with FG is it's 3d dice. There's something cool about picking up the dice and watching them...

I'm going to run a solo game for someone, and I wanted to let him play the game as closely to the way it is designed to play out as possible, even though he doesn't have a party. I don't want to run 3 or 4 NPCs so he can have a party (one is fine), and I don't want him playing them either. I'd...

Maybe, but I really want to know if they'll smudge. The only reason I'd buy these is to not have to treat them with kid gloves.

Any word on whether these will have the smudging issue?

Just finished the thread. John- that really stinks. A lot of people love games so much that they think they have what it takes to run their own company, but they fail to understand the difficulties of running a real business. It's a shame.

I'd thought the same thing, and I just started a subforum on my RPG Fan site. I'm an ex-freelancer, and at one point I wrote an article for a magazine and was never paid. For unrelated reasons, I decided that I'm going to keep writing game stuff, but that I'm going to give it away. The forum's...

Oh, I know about Toon. I guess I was just saying that I don't feel that the genre has been exausted for RPGs.

That's pretty apt actually. I just hope it doesn't infect the whole hobby. :)

The thing is, I heard it throughout 3e, too. I think it's more from people who played tabletop games, then discovered WoW or something, and brought the term back.

It seems to come from video games- your character looks like a cartoon, hence "toon". This mindset is exactly the opposite of what I want out of games. Edit: I would play a cartoon-based rpg (like Who Framed Roger Rabbit), though.

Like Henry, I loathe hearing the word "Toon" for character. It just gives me the impression that that player doesn't remotely care about roleplaying.

Looks great to me. Good work.

I'm in a short campaign and will be running one in a few sessions. I'm all set. Thanks.

I emailed him with my character sheet the day after I posted here, and never heard anything. I'm now playing in a Fantasy Grounds campaign, and would like to withdraw my availability.

Martial Power, definitely. Probably the Draconomicon and Undead books, and maybe the Manual of the Planes. This will be the first edition where I buy most of the books.

Let me add to the voices that recommend working with Goodman Games. Joseph Goodman in particular is a great guy, and though I don't trust my level of discipline enough to submit a proposal (I've had too many chances), I envy anyone who's about to break in. It's a great time to be getting...

As mentioned above, there is precedent for "per day" abilities. There are also, "X times per day" abilities. All you'd have to do is figure out how many encounters you could expect in a day, and give the character more uses than that (double?). Edit: And of course, you'd have to limit uses to...

And make them hex grids on the back, as well? That's the only improvement I can think of.
