Hey gang I'm a 3.5/Pathfinder player looking for a change of pace. My best friend and I are having more and more trouble organizing play time around busy real life schedules and we were looking to try a new RPG that we could play one-on-one. I know that may seem weird, but we even did that with...

My friend and I were talking about the tendency of races to have weapons named after them. The elven curveblade, the dwarven waraxe, weird orcish double weapons, etc. Then I thought of the old joke - "In China, they just call chinese food 'food.'" An elf would no more think of a a sword as an...

Player X Scores a deadly hit! His trident flies from his hands, separating the goblin's head from his shoulders and pinning it against the far wall. The headless goblin does the fish dance for a little while, spraying blood around the room before falling down dead. I would share more of my own...

Edit: Ahem... I mean *disable* magical traps, of course. See below. My group always used to hate someone being forced to play a rogue to find traps, so we were all very happy to find that the alternate class feature in Pathfinder would allow you to shunt that responsibility over to another...

I'm not much of a DM, but I enjoyed collaborating with a friend of mine on a campaign he ran. I thought I'd share some of the highlights with the board in case it gave anyone any ideas they wanted to lift. First off, the entire setting was fun. Initially unbeknownst to the players, the whole...

Oops double post.

I'm curious to see how widespread the practice is. My buddies and I looked for a VTT for a long time and were never satisfied, but we're really enjoying Google Docs for all our simulated tabletop needs. It helps that we trust each other not to cheat. A spreadsheet can work as a map, and there...
