    Love it or hate it, 3e style

    Similar to Crothian - I love it with my friends - can't stand it with strangers - but I don't like any RPGs with strangers. Of course, we never had the powergamey munchkin spellcasters outshine everyone CoDzilla problems everyone online talks about.

    Determining Cover

    Just a couple notes - Pathfinder doesn't have partial cover and cover stops AoOs. One of the reasons my group is having this discussion is due to the diagram (pg 194) in the core rulebook used for determining cover with large creatures. The descriptive text of that diagram states "The ogre has...

    4E - 18 Months Later: Love it or hate it?

    I played up until this October - levels 1-14. I voted dislike (the things I loved/liked are far out weighed by the disliked/hated) - However, the general feeling about 4e may be more about the game I was in and not the game itself. Its actually the first D&D game I ever gave up on and just quit...

    Problem staying logged in

    Is the board set to log you out after just a few minutes of inactivity? Today I keep getting logged out after about 3 minutes. It seems to happen specifically when I am writing up something to post.

    Determining Cover

    This should be a simple question - but we've had a new discussion about it at our game last night. The text for determining cover for ranged attacks says "To determine whether your target has cover from your ranged attack, choose a corner of your square. If any line from this corner to any...

    FLURRY OF BLOWS!

    That's strange, this thread popped up when I was clicking on the "which of the core 3 do you own? (3E or 3.5E)" poll . . . hmmm . . . gremlins must be about I think.

    If you had 1 year to plan a weekend of gaming, what would you do?

    If you had 1 year to plan a weekend of gaming, what would you do?

    I would like to run The Gates of Firestorm Peak. Either 2E w/Player's Options or Converted to 3E Pathfinder or Trailblazer (Trailblazer is pretty nifty by the way). I would build set pieces for all the locations and have miniatures to represent every creature in the adventure. I would also...

    Has Anyone Introduced New Gamers to 4E?

    Then why bring it up? I have found that whatever system the DM feels most comfortable running is the easiest system to teach. Anyways, Cadfan's advice is good. One thing you will probably notice is that for complete newbies the game jargon can lead to misconceptions on their part and not having...

    Is it ever a good idea to hit the party?

    We use this tactic pretty regularly - usually prefaced wit someone yelling "broken arrow" or "this might hurt a little". I don't see it as metagaming - the characters know what they can survive (usually because they've already had to survive it when directed at them by the BBEG) - and its no...

    Which edition poll for October

    Needed a 3.5 + Pathfinder option. I just recently dropped a 4E game - made it to level 15, not my cup of tea.

    Optimising versus Roleplaying

    Given that I've never seen this referenced on ENworld before (even though it appears it may have been) and particularly because it doesn't seem to have popped up here recently (and then been used to sidetrack a thread) , I'm curious why the original post was made at all. It just seems so...

    [Folks that like 4e] What are some things from previous editions that you miss?

    [thread hijack] I have, multiple times, and played a character like that myself. I have yet to meet a player who had a Cleric "that out fights the fighter" that gets commented on so much online. [/thread hijack] I miss having characters that can pick up the slack when one of the players isn't...

    Hands up who wants to play the healing battery?

    Your experience does not mirror mine in any way. I wonder if its a regional thing. In the games I have been involved with, the cleric focuses on 2 things - buffing everyone and healing everyone - and in my current game healing everyone is top of the list for our cleric. I have yet to play with...

    How many folks are still playing/running 3e?

    Running a 3.5/Pathfinder Age of Worms campaign - any/all sources allowed (2nd to last adventure - 19th level PCs). Playing in a 3.5 Eberron campaign - all WoTC sources allowed. In September will be running a Pathfinder only game.
