Very cool! Well done. :) -TG :cool:

Agreed. But it also seems far beyond the scope of a single page entry in the MM. Time for a 3rd-party PDF! :lol: -TG:cool:

It sounds it! Well done! -TG :cool:

It largely depends on what you want a campaign world book for. If you just want the lore, it's out there, either in the form of websites or older edition books. (The 3E Forgotten Realms book was gorgeous!) As for "current events" in a given game world, I would expect to find those in the...

I haven't gotten a chance to try it at the table yet, but on paper at least I'm loving the flattened power curve. As nice as the XP-based encounter building systems have been, I would really like to be able to just put down "the monsters that should be there" and be done! -The Gneech :cool:

Kinda-sorta? I'm going to start running the Starter Set adventure this weekend in what is essentially the Sword Coast with the serial numbers filed off. Since the only major city that gets mentioned in the Starter is Neverwinter, I just changed a few names and started with it. Assuming all goes...

Thanks for the plug! :D -The Gneech

My players are a weird bunch -- they love being chewed up one side and down the other, and are always convinced the next encounter is the one that will lead to the TPK. I've been playing with some of these guys for 30 years. They've played everything from 0-level schlubs to world-shaking...

No, he didn't, which was always my problem with ToEE. OMG wall o' text! *eyes glaze over* It wasn't until I played the computer version that I found out just what all was actually in the place! -The Gneech :cool:

d20pfsrd.com is your friend! :D -The Gneech :cool:

I thought its "un-fleshed-outness" was one of Nentir Vale's whole points, a kind of generic "D&D-land" that left you plenty of room to put in your own stuff. (Although if you fold in all of the various things said in the adventures that have come out, there's a pretty significant amount of...

I've been "GM" since I picked up Tunnels and Trolls in 1983. I even GM my D&D games. ;) -The Gneech :cool:

My wife ran some Star Wars during the WEG era; some of the most fun I've had in a game, actually. :) Beyond that, I have rarely seen it in person, but I have some friends on the internet who are playing Ironclaw/Jadeclaw with a woman running the game. -The Gneech :cool:

Erf ... well, Merric, uh welcome(?) to the state of mind many of us have been in for two years now. I'm sad to see the Obstinate Optimist having such a crisis of faith (as it were), but I think I can pretty honestly say I know how you feel. That said, I don't think D&D is going anywhere any...

Um ... right. Well. Pathfinder combats, yes, probably faster than 4E, but system mastery makes a big difference either way. Both are slower than 1e. And 1e is slower than Tunnels and Trolls, but probably easier to find adventures for. -The Gneech :cool:

In my current campaign... re: trolls and giants, I try to make each sub-race of giant very distinct from each other, but keep some recurring elements among all of them. For instance, hill giants are little more than pumped-up ogres, while frost giants are crafty and intelligent (but very...

Er ... what? I only play one MMO (LotRO), and both the Burglar and Loremaster classes are explicitly referred to as "crowd control". With the possible exception of breath weapons, I don't recall that much in the way of "cooldown" mechanics in any version of D&D. Most abilities have (number) /...

My attempts at 4E tapped out at 3rd level and it was a slog then. The podcast is doing 7th level PvP ... sounds like a nightmare! -The Gneech :cool:

"Tome of Secrets" has a "Warlord" class that's halfway between the Marshal and the 4E Warlord. Also, the APG has the "Cavalier" that has some Marshal-ish abiltities. But the Marshal is closed content, so there aren't any "official" ports. There's some discussion of this over at Paizo, as...
