    Server Error Occurred?

    If I am NOT logged in, can see the last page fine. And even post a reply(but it then asks for a login, after which it will post.) But once logged in, the error returns even on the reply just posted.

    Pathfinder 1E I’ve Forgotten How to Play Pathfinder

    My problem is sometime remembering too well. Was that spell/rule from PF1,3.5,3.0,2,1,Original?

    RPG Evolution: Weight, What?

    All this encumbrance talks sure highlights the advantage the Dwarves used to have(still have?). Naked or shambling mound of gear, they move 20 ft. The different speed thing is a separate issue. A lightly loaded human with a feat/trait that adds 5+ feet to the basic speed, so 35 vs an...

    [Homebrew] Cards > dice

    I think you left out the part about dealing the cards out to each player to form a supply hand. At least your advantages imply each player has a hand vs drawing the unknown top card for each die 'roll'. Assuming player hands, interesting idea. One possible downside is if a combat(or other...

    watching time pass via tv show

    Law and Order: pre 9/11 and post 9/11. Blue Bloods: the various public relations issues the police deal with. Two different series but the equipment and procedures used on Emergency! and Chicago Fire.

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    Maybe if the party is a set of grizzled 6+ level characters. A party of 1st levels isn't going to be much better then a set of just off the bus boot camp folks. Saying a 1st level fighter, wizard, bard, druid and cleric are all going to have learned tight military tactics at the various...

    D&D General How to Make Travel Meaningful and Interesting

    Encourage the party to travel with a caravan. Perhaps as additional guards. Perhaps just the larger group is safer theory. Now you have opportunities for social events. Maybe the caravan has a 1/2 way there feast and celebration. If there is a hostile encounter, it isn't totally on the...

    D&D General Odd Speak with Dead Question

    By the book, probably no. But it is nice to reward innovative thinking so maybe let it work IF the face carving is good enough quality. But I agree with the above comment about what the plant saw in life. So no 'who passed through two hours ago' answers. Unless the critter on the other side...

    OSR How to make dungeon crawls interesting

    Depends on the group. If mostly murder hobos, the 1-5 play loop is pretty close. If the group wants non combat encounters, you have a few more options. For both types, #2 can include monsters that run away. Are they leaving just to save their own life? Or to warn nearby groups? Rally...

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    Assuming that a party will maintain a rigid marching order through miles of travel seems unrealistic. Someone slips and another stops to give a hand up. A shoelace or strap comes loose and the character stops to deal with it. Character C gets sick and tired of Character B's mess kit clanging...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Dislike the showing only the QR code and not a text link. For a company that touts inclusiveness, why are they excluding folks that haven't bought into the personalized tracking device(smartphone) ecology? Plus including ball bearings as beginning equipment seems odd for a fantasy themed...

    Worlds of Design: When the Clock's Ticking

    One trick I have used a few times to encourage players to be ready is to declare their character "Stunned and Amazed" if the player is taking way too long. The slow character takes an involuntary delay action and the next character in the initiative order goes. When the slow player is finally...

    WizKids to Release New Red Dragon Plaque, With More Manageable Head Size

    Will have to wait until one escapes into the wild to judge. Too often renders <> actual product.

    Dragon Reflections #97

    The god HP = # of followers would explain why several pantheons feature gods fighting with each other. If I was going to do something like that, would skip the alignment thing(why should a god get benefits from a non believer that just happens to have a matching alignment?). Would also adjust...

    Tell Us About Your Pirate Campaign(s)

    Several as a player. GURPS game set in ~1600's Caribbean. Very low magic. Fairly true to our understanding of the real world era. GM is a history buff. PF1 - Didn't start as a sea/pirate game but the group managed to acquire several ships through action and kept them. Have a base in the...

    D&D General Self-Defeating Rules in D&D

    And to stick with the topic, Heward's Handy Haversack shows up pretty early in many games and largely solves the encumbrance thing*. Or even just a masterwork backpack. *Well, except for the sheep. They kinda need air and stuff, but that stuff fits in the haversack.
