I just noticed that Open Design has announced a new project to create a arctic climate sourcebook called Frozen Empires, done in a similiar style to Sunken Empires. Sunken Empires ended up being a pretty damn fine sourcebook. I don't usually buy 3rd party stuff, particularly mechanics, in...

Like many folks I've decided to start a WotBS campaign. I'm setting the ground rules on races and classes. My approach might be a little stricter than some GMs.. but I like to avoid realy wacky starting races and classes in a new campaign. The reason being that at first level I want the focus to...

I'm probably putting the horse before the cart, because I haven't thoroughly read much yet.. But it turns out that I own much of the 3/5 version when it was on sale fr a $1.00 be chapter.. I was perusing the 3.5 GMs guide when I found the sidebar on psioncis. With Psionics coming into the...

I'm probably asking in the wrong place... I say that with humor because I realize that EnWorld publishes WotBS. At the same time, if I know anything about EnWorld, I know someone will give what they feel is an objective answer whether it's popular or not. :] Anyway, I'm not just trying to stir...

If you're attending GenCon and have some Pathfinder news to share, please let us poor folks who can't attend know about it! And yeah, e-mail Morrus and tell him too, but that sort of news has to be formal. I'll take any sort of info as long as it's not just made up. What I'd really like to...

I just wanted to say thank you to the Moderators for creating this new Forum specifically for Pathfinder. It will give me a greater incentive to come to EnWorld now. I like and own the other game, but in this case I do think some segregation is helpful, because if one is just not interested in...

On the heels of recent discussions concerning Power Cards, people have mentioned that they were unsure of the pricing. I don't know how long this information has been up on Amazon... But it would appear that one character class, containing 100 power cards from the PHB as well as a few blank...

Power Cards - Dugeons & Dragons 4th Edition | D&D 4e Powercards I'll refrain from editorial comment in this first post. My apologies to the Moderators if this has been covered in another post that I have overlooked, or in another sub-board. I did do a quick skim before posting.

In the errata, they clarify that you can teleport prone (and prone while immobilized and so on). This is probably a dumb question, but are you still prone afterwards? Because somebody is going to want to take a shortcut around the fact that standing up is a move action (possibly arguing that...

Again, If you're playing in my game, please don't read this. . . . . . . . . Thanks everybody. I need some rules help. Or rather, I'm looking for a second opinion, because I've gotten one.. but I'm not totally sold on the answer. If you know where this question originated from, please don't...

I'm just verifying this because it surprises me. Paladins get the Plate Mail Feat for free, but the Fighter does not. Has there been any discussion or comments on this? If not.. am I understanding this to be correct?

I've been a slow convert to 4E, but I'm there now. I'm ready and excited to run my first game of it. My players have been slower converts, being d20 fans, and feeling burned by the marketing... But they've come around now too. They've looked at the books and started talking, looking past all...

Today, Wolfgang Baur's first 4E Project Wrath of the River King was released to it's patons in PDF format! For the next ten days patrons will have the opportunity to review it for errata and mistakes, and then a final PDF will be released and it will be made available to the patrons in hardcopy...

I wouldn't think it would, but I want to verify. Stoneskin protects against weapon damage, including blunt weapons. But it would not mitigate falling damage would it?

One of my two groups of players really likes Spontaenous Casting, to the degree that the Druid and the Cleric have both taken the Spontaneous Divine Casting Feats. They ran up against of the limitations of that build in our last play session. An enemy cleric casted Blindness/Deafness on the...

Forked from: layoffs? Dave was replying to me, somewhat defending Randy Buehler's work on DDI. I had said that in recent months that the DDI program had steadily been improving. This morning, there was no DDI News Column from Randy. Since then, one has been posted. It does not mention any...

On the topic of Adventure Paths, I am curious what people are finding they enjoy, look for, and want out of an AP, regardless of what edition it is written. The question was sparked for me while reading the WOTC forums regarding Scales of War. Just to keep things genuine, two of the relevant...

Wolfgang Baur is getting ready to start his next Open Design Project! And if you’re interested, he’d like to what you think the topic/theme should be.. and what game system he should use! Not familiar with Open Design? It’s the original role-playing design group using the Patronage system...

Wolfgang Baur updated the status of his upcoming 3rd Edition and 4th Edition products today, here at the Open Design LiveJournal. These projects are still on the edge of being fully commissioned, so there's still opportunities to get in at the ground floor. Have any questions about what Open...
