As I said in the review that the OP linked, I think that people who backed the project have too much focus on the setting and don't realize that not everyone has that much detail available to them. When I picked up the softcover, I expected Zobeck to be fully detailed, as in take up three...

I disagree and think the reviewer was off on his score. I myself can only give the book three and a half for its ideas, rounded down to three for the editing. It offers no more detail than any other campaign setting book. Again, no it doesn't. In the Crossroads section, it talks about how...

Wow. So you seem to be questioning what I said yet pointing out that what I said agrees exactly with the OP? And just as everything is imo, as that's the only opinion I know, everything is also "to me" as well because that's also the only way I can answer anything. But I'm glad you...

Seriously? That's what you wanted to add to this conversation? I mean, it's not just that people want different things. It's that people want different things at different times. What works for someone as a new DM doesn't work for them later. It's my understanding that Ed used Elminster to...

I enjoy Ed's game material but have never liked his books. I once bought all of the Elminster books to read them but couldn't do it. I don't like Ed's fiction. I loved Driz'zt at first and read all of the books. But about the time of his other series (Woods Out Back, Demon Wars), I stopped...

At a doctor who convention in the late 80s I struck up a conversation with a guy who had to tell me about his character. He had time travelled with him to the future figured out how to make guns and then went back in time to the fantasy realm. Now his character had a cloak of (infinite) holding...

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get this to load in characters. I have tried characters from the new character builder and old and neither of them load in. They cause the program to crash. Has anyone gotten this to load characters or is it just me?

As I read this, I got this idea. What about 2E with 3E psionics? Then it's a bit better than the 2E version and is a bit more comparable to the magic. In fact, with 2E, you could probably rip out the 2E magic system as well and have 3E, which evened the clerics and mages for their spells...

Have you looked at WoD:Mirrors? I think the core set has something for fantasy rules for it. Then, using the core books for mortals, you could use second sight for anyone who wanted a psychic talent. However, I don't know it well enough to say what to do for magic, either arcane or...

Mine wasn't exactly mentioned, so I will list them here. Players: I have had no problems getting my players, that I started with DND, to play other systems and to enjoy their time playing other systems. But, yes, it took a known system (oop or not) to excite them about playing. Support...

First, I think this is cool! I need to find it on youtube and see if I can watch it. Second, this seems really, really specific. I mean, we all know our game is not mainstream in terms of going to GenCon. But, this seems like such a specific prize to have. I wonder if they figured one of...

White Wolf's Exalted? It is going to have a steep learning curve playing by the RAW but the themes and ideas in it are quite fun! I enjoy them at least! And, the basics of the game are such that if the know WW's other games, they won't have to spend a lot of time on the basics of the game...

Well said. In running Encounters, I agree that we need that range of complexity to pull in new players and interest experienced players. Very good ideas.

Lots of thoughts on this. In my current weekly campaign, I didn't wait until high levels to introduce potential bad guys. I have a group that wanted to play unaligned. Okay, I went with it. I then introduced and showed them the really bad evil things that are doing bad things. (Beholder...

I'm also enjoying both series a lot and can't wait the next issue. I usually but the trade compilations but decided I couldn't wait. And who knows if or when they will put one out?

I voted both but haven't run 3.x since 4E came out. I don't see me going back but I could be wrong as hopefully I have a lot of gaming years left!

Thanks for the suggestions! I did pass the ideas onto the mom and have left it up to her. I suggested the paid program and disables it "legally" and so can be changed back with the password. I also suggested a bios password. Again, I completely agree with what several of you have said...

I agree. But, it's not my child and I don't know the mom. She came to me for advice and so I am trying to do as she wanted instead of offer potentially unwanted advice. Other suggestions along those lines were to take the mouse/keyboard away as that would stop it pretty well too. I might...

I didn't post the whole drama but maybe that was bad. A mom I know has a teenager who is on the computer too much and she tried to put limiting software on it. The teenager is smart enough that they found out that if they go into the boot menu via F8, they can go into safe mode with internet...
