    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    This is just the out of turn actions. The lich provokes an OA from Prime since it used a ranged power in melee range and also made an attack that doesn't include Prime, so it triggers Combat Challenge. I included flanking bonuses in the rolls, which may not apply if the golem dazed Zharne, but I...

    [Tavern] Tower's Shard 2011

    "Damn right they are, you youngsters want everything without any effort! When I was your age and lived with the dwarves, I had to walk in the snow, uphill, if I wanted to go anywhere. Both ways. They took the effort to bring snow into the mines so we had to walk in it. That's how I got my...

    [Tavern] Tower's Shard 2011

    "What? Oh, I didn't see you. Where else would I be? I've not left the city for years. Come to think on it, I've rarely left the university. But I may be forced to, now that they've cut my funding. The fools!" "Also, what are you doing in this den of unemployed brutes? It's no place for a proper...

    Testing a theory

    It's not just about balance. About the 15 minute game day, first I’ve never had or for that matter heard about a player who specifically though along that line – blow all his spells in the first couple encounters, then retreat, but I had that specific headache as a DM since I rarely design or...

    Very well, with you we have a complete crew.

    [Tavern] Tower's Shard 2011

    It's a good thing Dir thinks Tipleton is funny, because I plan to use him as my weapon of choice

    L4W Discussion Thread V

    The point is to have a cooldown period for new stuff for discussing possible imbalances or setting-appropiateness, so it goes against (IMHO) the reason of why the rule is there in the first place to use the new stuff counting on it being legal when the approval is finally done. That's about...

    Let's give Queenie some time to open the narrative.

    Here's the IC thread! Have a look and let's get this running.

    Voyages of Sinbad IC

    Basra. A cozy patio, under the shadow of Omar Jayyam's astrology tower. Omar is a famous astrologer, mathematician and poet, a close friend of the vizier and, some say, an atheist. Nonetheless, he's the perfect host and spending the night in his and his friends' company is a pleasure. This...

    Voyages of Sinbad - experimental narrative system.

    That's the idea I have. I like the InSpectres system because it's just a framework; a map, rather than a railroad, if you like the metaphor. I'll come with something in one day or two.

    Roll20 VTT Enters Open Beta

    I like whay I see. Other VTT tools overcomplicate matters by adding too much automation; this saves trivial amounts of time in actual play at the price of multipliying preparation time (which isn't good) and a steep learning curve. I might try this one. I've checked other VTTs, but many of them...

    Voyages of Sinbad - experimental narrative system.

    Ok, then I think we can get started. About the characters I'm not sure about what kind of directions you want. I just had a thought. I'll post soon the initial IC post; that'll help stablishing a tone, then you can make your characters to fit it. Perhaps having a frame for them will help with...

    [Adventure]: Land Ho! FWBTHW (DM:H.M.Gimlord,Judge:Ozymandias79)

    Tenchuu emailed Dimsdale telling him he had to quit his game. Have you received anything similar, H.M.Gimlord?

    Voyages of Sinbad - experimental narrative system.

    I remember fondly Ray Harryhausen's movies like the 7th voyage of Sinbad and Jason and the argonauts and hoped to give the game a similar feel, where the central, civilized world is known and mundane but if you step outside all kinds of things are possible. The protagonists rely more on tricks...

    Wizardry and Societal Verisimilitude, or Why Mages Need Muzzles

    I don't really see the problem from a verisimilitude standpoint. A wizard with an at-will equivalent to a crossbow, it's the equivalent of a guy armed with a crossbow. The difference, from a world building standpoint, is that the wizard has been studying for years, he's probably a weakling from...

    L4W Discussion Thread V

    If I posted the question twice it was because we were cross-posting and I didn't see your answer in the other thread. Warforged are living constructs, so it makes sense effects that target living creatures affect them.

    [Adventure]: Bosch's Revenge (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    Stepping close after the blasted lich and his skeletal bodyguard, a tall construct made of adamantine and steel surges forward. If he's hostile, it's at least hammering at the undead too. Too bad his initial attack was parried. Though, wasn't he at the Hanged Man tavern? Immediate interrupt...

    [Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    A couple things. I had a look at the stats in Bosh revenge's thread (not sure if it was appropiate to look, but I tried not to get too much information from posts. Anyway, the shout of triumph should hit tw1 and the lich, but not tw2. Also, I'm not sure if Prime is affected by the lich's aura...
