Can you tell us a little more about the system you're running, his build type, and how he's failing within the encounters? Is he too weak on offense or defense? Is it the character or the player's tactical decisions that are causing the trouble?

Heresy! Sacrilege! Facts have no place in my nostalgia! :)

I don't have statistics so I don't claim that my experiences are representative of the hobby as a whole, but I experience the fracture in my small (very small) corner of the gaming world. I have been trying to get a gaming group together since the release of 3.5, with almost no success. The...

"Character is what you are in the dark"- Lord John Whorfin in Buckaroo Banzai (with apologies to Dwight L. Moody) The internet can be a really "dark" place if you don't realize that nothing is really private, and it stays around forever.

I hate to hear this. I loved Alternity, and many of the other products Bill contributed to. I thought the WoTC layoffs usually took place near the end of the year.

If I could consistently guarantee a table of 4 to 6 players plus myself, I'd play or run any of those games on the list. My problem is finding reliable gamers more than finding reliable rules...

I guess I'll just have to work with the SAGA stuff I already have. Hopefully there will be some news at GenCon.

About a year ago I read that WoTC declined to renew the Star Wars license for SAGA and the mini line. Since then I had heard that "some" company was in talks to acquire the license and keep Star Wars gaming alive in some fashion (mini war gaming?, PnP RPG?, LaRP?, Pogs?). So what's the word...

Very nice write up Dustyboots. I started watching Firefly on Netflix, and that (and the replies in this thread) has really gotten me excited to play. In the first episode of Firefly Wash tells the crew and passengers "Hold on travelers!" before accelerating away from the space hulk. Sounds...

I love Outland! I think that movie was one of the reasons I chose to go into law enforcement. Sean Connery's character was just so heroic in that seemingly hopeless situation. Very "High Noon". I'm already getting some ideas about how to get some exciting adventures together for Traveller...

Thanks everybody. This is just the kind of info I was looking for. The Wiki link was fantastic. I had done a search on wikipedia and all I got was information about the basic premise and a list of editions. I'm definitely going to watch Firefly. It sounds like a great motivator/idea farm.

So I was perusing my RPG bookshelf and found my copy of Mongoose Traveller. I've never played it, and I've only mostly read through it. So give me some books, movies, T.V. shows, and/or music to help get me motivated to get to grips with it. I want to get in the right mindset to sell it to my...

I'm running Wednesday Encounters at my FLGS for anybody who wants to sit in. I'm keeping my 7 yr old son interested in gaming, and as he gets older I'll try to get him to involve his friends in the hobby. Oh yeah, I also spend my money on more gaming products than I'll ever get to use.;)

I just started running Wednesday Encounters at my FLGS, and 2 of my 6 players are new to tabletop rpgs, with three of the others new to 4E/4EE. You would think that there would be a sense of wonder about absolutely new monsters that don't follow the rules that PCs do, but each and every one of...

I picked up a box at my FLGS today and got:(from memory 'cause they're out in my car) Mindflayer noble (sweet) Feymire croc (sweet/useful) human town guardsman (useful) deva fanatic (not bad) goblin slinger (useful) minotaur mangler (sweet/useful)

Problem solved! Thanks for the assist.

I posted this on the WotC boards and haven't gotten a response yet, so I thought I'd give ENWorld a shot. I'm running Encounters season 3 at my FLGS and I need some advice/assistance. I've never run a public event before, but with some assistance from this community I was able to get scheduled...

I think Hammerhead was making a funny about Francis from the Left4Dead franchise you mentioned. As I recall, Francis' audio cues mostly began with "I hate...".

I gather that these rules updates/revisions will eventually specifically affect the PHB rogue. The update is labled "Player's Handbook", so I'm treating this the same way I treat errata.

All of my stuff is hand drawn, except for battle mats provided with published adventures. I don't do it because I'm some kind of purist, I do it because I haven't found a free program that I could easily learn and use to produce good maps. I'm sure there are some great programs out there, and...
