Yes, but isn't this less fun for the players? Isn't it cooler to roll the dice yourself and determine your own destiny, rather than watching someone else rolling the dice that could kill your character?

One thing that bothered me in Star Wars Saga Edition, was that players no longer rolled saving throws. Instead, the jedi/sorceror/whatever rolled against a static number. I think this ruins some of the fun. My players love rolling saving throws, it gives them a feeling that they "fight off" the...

I'm starting to get a slightly bad feeling about D&D 4E. Please, make the game easier to run.

I think the covers are horrible. Especially the PHB. I dislike the style as well as the composition. However, the WAR picture of the green dragon fighting the adventurers is much better than the three core covers, as if he restrained his urge to make swords more immense than rocket launchers...

Excellent review! As of now, this adventure is a must-buy.

I agree with the original poster. I never played AD&D back in the day, I just recently ordered a set of 1st edition core books (PHB, DMG, MM). The difference in tone, atmosphere, "vibe" (etc.) from 3rd edition blew me out of the water. Sure, many of the illustrations in the AD&D books were...

In the discussion of rules-heavy/high prep-time vs. rules-light/low prep-time, one thing I sometimes find frustrating is the attitude of people who exclusively play as "players" (instead of switching from player to DM, or DM to player). The attitude is basically one of: I won't play anything...

This rocks. I'm gonna test this with my group.

I switched from D&D to WFRP 2nd edition. It has made my life as DM much, much easier. However, as other posters have said, I would love to play in a D&D campaign, just not run it.

Wow, thanks for all the excellent advice. Unfortunately, due to a nasty exam looming over the horizon, I'm not able to chime in. I've been reading all the replies, though. Thanks!

I've been the DM in the group for as long as the group has gamed. This, in itself, is not a problem. I love to be the DM. However, during this time I have grown frustrated with the game (D&D 3E). There are so many numbers to remember and keep track of. Some rules are extremely complex (none of...

I think the changes rock and I hope they will be introduced in D&D 4E. It would make my job as a DM much, much easier.

Amen.

Could someone please tell me if I can run NWN2 (with reasonably low details) on this system: Intel Pentium M 1.70 Ghz 1 gig RAM ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo For what its worth, I managed to run Oblivion ok. Thanks.

Is this some sort of euphemism?

Thanks, an excellent link. I suspected the picture was in the PHB, but a friend of mine decided to borrow it and move to a distant city. Figures. I've noticed the new-found love as well, with OSRIC, C&C and all the threads comparing the current edition to the previous ones. I have. I lurk in...

Hi, I'm looking for a specific picture, probably from 1st edition (or maybe OD&D) which depicts a group of dwarves making their way into a dungeon (descending a winding stairway?) and encountering the appariton of a magic mouth on a dungeon wall. I also seem to remember the light of two...

Without a doubt stat blocks. They are a pain to make, especially at higher levels.
