I have written--and deleted--three posts because I cannot articulate a fundamental response to question that I kept bringing up. How does one separate the D&D experience from that of any other FRPG? I see more in common with 1e and WHFRPG1/2e; 2e and Earthdawn. I have had wildly different...

Unless "D&Dness" can be defined in some form or another, it is useless as a term for any meaningful discussion. WHFRPG1/2e has more "D&Dness" to me than 4e. That's just my opinion. And some will think 4e has more "D&Dness" than 2e. So again what is the point of the term again?

Call of Cthulhu: The Masks of Nyar... I just picked up the module at my FLGS. Amazing how much gaming you could get for less than $20 back in the 80's; it looks like an entire adventure path in one book--including handouts. [There was a story hour here--with months worth of posts--for this...

NM, misread the original conditions of the OP. In general as long as my character has some semblance of parity with the rest of the party, I am fine with starting at 1st-level.

>Marius: That sounds like how they ran the game. I cannot wait to talk to my friend and see if it resembles how we played. While I understand the game is meant to encourage a sort of fear and trepidation, I find it odd that they naturally found it in their best interests to split up in order to...

Thanks Marius for the help. I started a longish post on questioning when and how monster and encounter cards are drawn and have realized that there may be a gross misreading of the rules on placing tiles and drawing monsters and encounters and the effect that white triangles have on both...

Is there a PDF for this? I would find it much easier to read something as detailed as this as a PDF than a wall of forum text.

I have a question as well I was recently introduced to the game from a friend of mine and had a blast playing the intro adventure/scenario over the course of a few hours. Afterwards we had a long discussion on my impressions of the game that degenerated into an argument about game design...

Count me as one that does not care for the new icons. They are visually distracting and make the site look too busy. I would prefer to have the ability to not display them.

The way Interludes was put together reminds me of why some of the older modules like T1-The Village of Homlet continuously show up in forum discussion.

Thank You again for helping.

I only have Interlude. The only area that I saw that offered web enhancements was the Appendix 3: Continuing the adventure. There seem to be three that use the password from this book and one from the larger book from 2002. I'd love anything they put out for this adventure. I'd suspect that...

Slightly off topic, Does anyone have the exact web address that automatically links to the latest comic? I lost my bookmark and would like to replace it.

Necroing this thread because my google-fu is weak today. Does anyone know if the web enhancements for Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside are still available anywhere. I never thought to download them when I first bought the module years ago.

I had a similar issue a few years ago. I had originally thought I had a software issue so reinstalled my OS. The problem continued afterwards, so I replaced the drive. I haven't tried the original drive in a different computer, but don't really care; the new one works fine. My guess is that my...

Don't know if anyone mentioned it; I would not buy an Ipad until it offered an LCARS inteface.

Hey all you gear heads, I am looking for a CRPG that I can play on my laptop that doesn't necessitate a lot of remembering or map making. Something I can play for maybe a half hour or so at a time. But it must not have the lethality of something like Nethack or other rogue-types. Diablo 2 maybe...

While I don't have a lot of practical experience with it, Savage Worlds using different dice for each ability seems like a interesting idea.

Sounds like a hell of a game. I like these types of sessions because they provide the counter balance to all of the successes and help impart meaning both to the players and characters.
