This is a side discussion from the failed kickstarter project thread. Is anyone else tired of the kickstarter bloatware? I am getting so tired of all the cards, dice, stickers, and other junk. It is the equivalent of bloatware. You back a tier that has the content you want and are forced to...

I first encountered The Gamers film at GenCon 2006. @Alenda and I went to meet up with a bunch of ENWorlders. It may also be the first time I met Morrus. We fell in love with it and have kept up with the subsequent versions over the years. This may be the last one and it is close to funding...

Has anyone had experience with Ghostfire Games? I had never ordered from them and I decided to try Grim Hollow and DrakenHeim. I ordered the book in March 2024 along with Aetherial Expanse. They never stated that the entire order would be on hold until Aetherial released. I got a shipment...

I was musing this morning about whether it would be possible to get a D&D Beyond style site for older editions. I am sure that WOTC would not allow it although if they were smart, then they would do it and incorporate it into DDB. They could make a lot of money by embracing all D&D players and...

Wargamer Two Weapon fighting and Nick Please tell me that they did not make weapon swapping this stupid in 5.5!!!

It looks like Heroic Inspiration will now be required since it is a human trait. I detest action points in my games. It is another thing I have to manage at the table and they are never balanced. There are some players that can earn them like water because they ham it up or are just a bit more...

I have been designing universal subclasses for my current campaign world. These are subclasses that any base class can choose. In many cases, these are organizations that a classes can join and these organizations train the members in specific methods, tools etc. It was be similar to anyone...

Am I the only one who enjoyed the relative lack of complexity of 5e? I am not enjoying what I see with the latest play test material or most of it, in general. They seem to be adding a lot of complexity to the game (weapon mastery) etc that I just do not enjoy. The weapon mastery items would be...

Is this still a thing for those who supported the site when it was offered back in the day? I cannot seem to find if I still have it active or not.

I am a fan of the subscriptions service through Paizo. It rocks and it makes things a bit easier on me; however, I have friends who own the friendly local game store. Unfortunately, they do not stock Pathfinder products because no one is buying them from them. I convinced them to get some...

So I have been tinkering with meshing the elements of Saga that I love with D&D3.5. I have made some decisions (feel free to comment) to change things to make them a bit simpler. I have added Physical and Mystical attacks. These are the basic BaB arrays. I plan to eliminate touch attacks in...

I have a feeling that the content of 4e will not be open any longer. The new OGL/STL seems designed for publishers. The new SRD is a document that lets publishers create content for D&D 4e. It does not seem to allow for open rules. If this is the case, then people will not be able to make a...

Was it the intent to kill discussion by moving these threads to a place that no one will see them?

I am not sure I like the implication that action points are core. I do not like action points. I do not find them useful for the game. I have used them in other system and found they just added mechanical mess with no real, positive effect on the game other than to shield players from bad...

I am wondering about the push to have multiple combatants in a fight. While I often use this method in my games, I also enjoy having the single monster ripping the PCs to shreds. The lone direwolf or dragon that attacks the village or city is something I enjoy running. I am not sure why there...

So Alenda begged me to give up my slot in Hypersmurf's game, so I have nothing to do on Friday afternoon. I'd really like to get some Risk going. Would anyone else like to join me for a Risk game on Friday afternoon?

So I am running three games at GenCon (links below), although there does not seem to be a lot of interest in the Mars game. I was thinking this morning that I may want to run a D&D game rather than the Mars game. The info on that is also below. What do you all think about the D&D game in...
