It looks so tempting in the KS campaign. One of my recent 'get organized' purchases was a pair of large bookcases for $1 each at a local university surplus sale. At least now, Sophie's Revenge is no longer a trip hazard on the floor. It is now in the same room with the 3D printed(also a KS...

Oddly, just read an article stating neither of the teams are using the 49's practice facilities over any chance there is merit to the substation theory. As for the winner, the advertising team for NBC. And the puppies.

I will see those Reaper skeletal dragons and raise you one Sophie's Revenge Heroic Scale Pirate Ship. At the time, one game I was in was a GURPS based historical themed pirate game.

Instead of XP, a reward is a clue toward a future adventure/quest/encounter. The character listened to someone's tale after buying him a drink. The barmaid mentioned something interesting after she was tipped. The character noticed a ragged note on the jobs board. What the clue is isn't...

In current versions of D&D or even PF, there really isn't much meta game difference between Elf, 1/2 Elf and Human. Maybe a +1/-1 modifier on a couple of stats and a bonus ability tossed in(think secret doors, low light). Any real difference is supplied by the player and in the last several...

Another on the Reaper Bones kickstarters. One of my New Year's goals is to get the bones out of the cardboard boxes and into clear plastic storage containers. Hoping that being able to see the minis when I walk by will translate to a few more being painted or given away. So far, partially...

The category is referred to a Collectable Card Game. From the Magic section of the Hasbro website: Arena Direct: Lorwyn Eclipsed Sealed, January 30–February 1 A product listed with Collector Boosters printed on the box. So yes to the first question. As to the second question, I don't think...

2nd Leverage for source material. Also the Oceans # movies. The old school Las Vegas approach was to provide the hotel rooms, food and especially drinks at or below cost and reap the profits at the gambling tables from drunken gamblers. Modify to fit your scam. Maybe the attractive event is a...

My early morning not yet having caffeine input read of this is: Someone alleges that Hasbro printed a lot of Magic The Gathering cards to take advantage of the increased demand during Covid and Hasbro has continued to print higher then normal numbers of MtG cards since due to the continued...

Might consider some variation of Traveller for a space game. Had a lot of fun at a Kansas City con at a Original D&D game. GM provided all the materials and had pre gen characters. Didn't take long to begin play. For a non RPG game, one go to for my gaming group is Red Dragon Inn. Handy if...

Depending on the game version, chain vs plate was medium vs heavy. Also encumbrance, if important, there is a small weight difference. Possible that in game, a wizard owes you a favor now and the best armor available is chain. But if you are a heavy armor character, chain seems a bit silly...

Whatever things that Whit Whitman may have done, doesn't make his TSR observations incorrect. Especially the observation about the '7 year pipe'. Since WOTC bought TSR: 3.0 - 3 years 3.5 - 5 years 4 - 6 years 5(2014) - 10 years 5(2024) - 1 year and counting. Seems that WOTC is paying...

How many? Depends on the campaign. If it is a murder hobo dungeon run, most of them. A political intrigue city game, just a few. At low levels, I like Sleep. AOE. Good for finding the cannon fodder as it works from lowest HP up. Helps avoid the alpha strike being a 1000+% overkill on...

Up through and including 2e, attributes directly impacted most abilities and things a character did. Starting with 3e, attributes mostly resolved to a +/- modifier. IIRC, your prime spell casting attribute directly impacted how high level a spell you could cast(required 10 + spell lvl?) but...

For those worried about the $80 MSRP, keep in mind that the revised book is what were previously 2 books. Basically the D&D/PF version of combining the PHB and DMG into one book. Bonus points if the Book + PDF bundle happens, unless shipping negates the savings.

Seems like you are trying to return to the D&D 3.X / PF1 version of wizard. That wizard had prepared spells slots with the entire list of spells possible(if in spell book) while the sorcerer had the spell point system with a much reduced list of spells per level. I suggest starting there since...

Not sure who got smacked by who but a year or so ago I backed a KS for STL files that featured a R2D2 droid, Sorting Hat, and Tower of Sauron. Presented as dice towers but also featured a display file set as well. KS completed and I received the files. Sometime later I checked for updates in...

Thanks for the notice. Backed for the tarot deck and the adventure PDF + maps. None of my current groups play 5e but we are pretty good at modifying things to fit whatever system we are using at the time.

Once characters can cast some variation of light, flame, and continual light/flame, unless they are facing something that can cast equivalent darkness spells to cancel the light spells, generally easiest to assume the party has enough light to see things clearly. Of course, all that light...

I have thought that the 2e CL flashlight was one of the reasons 3e switched to Continual Flame. Really, CL pretty well made any place well lit at night. A town could retain a low level wizard/cleric to maintain the town's lighting system in return for a place to live and keep a research lab...
