    AD&D 2E Perusing 2e Warriors and Priests of the Realms - Converting to 5e backgrounds and archetypes

    I'm late to the game..ahem..pun intended. While cleaning up my basement, and gaming collection which is where it resides, I came across my AD&D 2e stuff. Note, cleaning up the basement has been an ongoing project and organizing games usually leads me to sit down with said game instead of...

    Too soon I talked IT shop with James throughout the years and purchased physical products and a lot of PDFs through his platform. Gone far too soon. Condolences to his family and everyone who knew him.

    Outstanding! I'm having flashbacks to my youth. I ran this 4-5 times for multiple groups and always had a blast😀

    A W&W campaign...Forked from: Starting a new M&M campaign...

    Late to the party but W&W is a very good fantasy toolset. Don't let the superhero facade think that everyone will be flying around! If you are unfamiliar with point-based/effect-based systems M&M scales very well for both the guy who wants to put something together quick and the guy who wants...

    Confidence Index: A D&Di poll on VTT and Char Visualizer

    Like any prudent organization that is having financial issues (during the last year HAS has dropped from 35 to less than 25) cuts development on low hanging fruit that will take too much investment and not ever realize a profit, i.e. if it's not book related and making money it's not ever going...

    My Response to the Grognardia Essay "More Than a Feeling"

    I'll try to quantify my views but I'm not a debater or an eloquent speaker (writer). Games with rules for everything and that strive for "balance" are more difficult for me to run. If player's are expected to define their characters within a specific rules-set during creation and play I, as...

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    I respectfully beg to differ. If WotC signed the same contract that I signed (which maybe they did or maybe they didn't - WotC is definitely the one to blame) I find it hard to believe that both OBS (RPGNow/DriveThru) and Paizo both had their contracts to end at the same time. .

    Forked Thread: Is ENWorld an accurate cross section of gamers?

    I think the intersection of gamers and gamers who post on enworld.org is actually a pretty small part of the venn diagram. While this is all just theory it's actually going to be part of an article I'm writing for submission to a gaming magazine regarding websites and gamers. It's not going...

    Pathfinder 1E Looking for Fan Pathfinder RotRL (spoilers) material

    For the Skinsaw Murders I made up some of the notes that are used in the beginning of the adventure. http://www.naturaltwenty.com/downloads/your_lordship.pdf (I made some of the other material listed above as well :) ) Later

    N. Robin Crossby Harn's creator passes away

    I usually only played Hârn at GenCon's and never met Robin but I could tell from the products that he really loved his world. It showed in the details and I'm sure he'll be missed. Condolences to his family and friends. I posted the one on rpg.net but was having issues with my PC so didn't...

    Against the Giants picture gallery is up!

    Compared to the paint jobs on this D&D Mini's set I'd bet any average 7 year old with an old set of Testors and a crappy brush could do as good. For monsters and encounters the D&D mini's are fine but for characters - give me metal every time.

    Against the Giants picture gallery is up!

    Reaper Mini's is already coming out with new stuff (not really designated for 4e but they use names like): 03321: Damien, Helltainted Wizard - who comes with an orb, staff, and wand 03315: Tiviel, Hellborn Rogue 03316: KarDrakir, Dragonman Warrior (or pretty much any Reptus for a dragonborn)...

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    Below is a template for a power from the GSL - Each entity; Attack, Hit, Miss, Effect has it's own separate entry. Lumping Effect into Attack (as Sadistic Fishing is attempting to do) is where I see the problem laying. The attack can hit or miss but the effect occurs no matter what. @Flavor...

    WotC Web Forums down all the time!

    I think that it's bandwidth and rolling out changes in a live-production environment (poor change management processes) that are resulting in the outages. Not really a mystery but hopefully resolved closer to DDI go-live.

    My heroes: Ryan Dancey and Peter Adkison

    The OGL was a great thing for the gaming consumer but not necessarily as great for WotC. Companies started making "D&D" better than WotC made "D&D". I use quotes only to emphasize that D&D is no longer a singular entity - to some people it's become like Kleenex being used as the term for a...

    What non-4e would you play if there was no OGL at all?

    I've always been a game whore and spent way too much on RPG's over the years. I have different game systems that I use depending on what mood I'm in. Pick-up games - Savage Worlds because it's easy to put a scenario/adventure together with some D&D or MageKnight minis. Getting exactly what I...

    D&D to become entirely online?

    I definitley agree with all of your excellent points. I tend to think though that WotC isn't as kind-hearted to the retailer or consumer. The premise of the OGL was to allow others to get in on the action of making supplements/adventures and what not and WotC would still get revenue from...
