The solution that resulted from the above post, and that I've playtested quite a bit involves the following type of model: There are hundreds of things that provide buffs, of varying duration, and varying "stackability" and varying modifiers. There are only a handful of true needs for buffs...

A lively discussion from this time a couple years ago, about this very topic, however, it really fleshes out the issues around "buffing" and "high level play": http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=93424&page=1&pp=40

OK, now that puts a new twist on things. If your access is down to Evo, Abj, Alt, and Con/Sum, you're really going to be hamstrung. Ouch! Consider the implications of the character build, sacrificing versatility to get access to more resources. As is evident to you by now, I'm sure, you've...

It's funny, because I also ran Heart of NF Spire recently. I also switched the gorillas out, but I used an orc offshoot instead of troll. The party had been fighting these orc slaves since the very first encounter in the campaign, so it was all tied in. I don't recall having a moral dilemna...

The epic arcane caster in my campaign became very frustrated by the epic system. It is a big challenge striking the right balance. In effect, the way that epic is setup, as you scale above 20th, your villians and BBEG's gain more and more resistances and immunities, in order to be able to...

My vote would be for: 1) Old Empires 2) Bloodstone Lands 3) Cormyr

I would definitely like to see more of this, and make it really usable. Reading several of these threads together comparing the different editions, along with this has provided me with this idea for a possible fourth edition: Start with a very, very basic game. Rules simple, DM-driven...

Wow, that was kind of an obvious, but eye-opening comment. Based upon my personal experience, I completely agree with it. I have always loved the original 1st ed adventures, and still run them at local conventions and with my gaming group to this day. I've always played in the FR. I'm a huge...

Ok gang, here's the response I got from my friend Matt who's working at Origins: "A cancelled event will result in issuing a generic ticket to the attendee unless they specifically request a refund. This year’s generics are going to be custom printed poker chips! They will be printed in 6...

Crothian, Email is away, I'll let you know what I hear. -Andy

Hey Crothian! Keep in mind that the events could have been cancelled due to the DM who originally submitted them. Something I was a bit concerned about, because they did make it VERY easy to sumbit games for Origins this year. The DM's at Origins have been somewhat notorious for cancelling...

I love the concept, but it messes with the rules something fierce. In particular it treads pretty heavily into the Sorc and Cleric territory. Further, most players would prefer the min/max effect of more, powerful spells. I was always a big fan of "recallable" spells from Dangerous Journeys...

Neovention, held in Northeast Ohio, and it would have been held at Kent State University. It was the summer of 1986, and I believe Doug Niles was there pimping the Forgotten Realms which was just about to come out, and his novel Darkwalker on Moonshae.

Customer Voice This is another good, relevant review of the rpg market. Thank you to Robin Laws and to Hussar for posting it. This is particularly relevant to enworld as many of the publishers in question visit. As with many "state of the industry" commentaries we've seen, there is a great...

I also like the concept and see it as a terrific way that tabletop RPG can differentiate itself from online computer RPG's. I primarily play in the FR, which is ripe with opportunities such as these affiliations. There are literally countless great opportunities. I would definitely like to...

I had a player play a Chronomancer in one of my campaigns. I've got to admit, I'm no fan of time travel. I enjoy it conceptually, however, I have two really big problems with it: 1. The impossibility (this is a big one in my mind) 2. It's a cheap crutch used by writers to get out of...

rom90215 you did a nice job of tying all that FR stuff together, in a coherent campaign plotline. Very cool! I think it sounds like a blast, and would love to play in something like that. I think you've got some clearly defined objectives that can be overcome, and some good adventures to...
