I'm really digging the FATE system - the dice and the 4dF distribution ticks my number geek boxes, the aspects and descriptors are great for storytelling fuel as well as the fate points enabling story progression as well as being a resource. If it helps I'm looking at Spirit of the Century with...

So I'm trying to write up some adventures into a more 'other people' friendly format, with the first few specifically aimed and new DMs. My concern is that under the OGL you can't give page numbers or provide stat blocks for anything that exists (as well as reference/use the special monsters...

Anyone have any experience of this? I've got the PWYW version and am currently reading the fluff which is interesting // similar to Deus Ex in feel. Are there any preliminary info people can give me - game type (action, investigative, character driven?) ideal number of players (GM + 3/4/5) and...

I'm trying to get my head around how I'd roleplay an evil cleric. This is more of a hypothetical as I usually DM but it's something which has niggled at me for a while. Aside from Bane who has military/law/organisational aspects and Azmodeus who is similar (though less overt) I can see very...

Is there a game like D&D (ie high fantasy, magic, etc but with options to change this things a little) that is more 'zoomed out'. In the way that things like vampire the masquerade is more story based and while you can focus on the minutia (and indeed at many times do) you can also focus on the...

FAO Mods, I'm posting a sister thread in AD&D2E forum. Basically my parents visited and brought my old RPG books with them -including my heavily battered AD&D PHB and DMG (Didn't have monster manuals back in Ireland when I was a kid ;)), my 3.X collection (FRCG, OA, BOVD) & V:tM. I've played a...

So I'm trying to solo through WoA with a Paladin, I found an interesting problem: what happens if you kill ashardalon while raiding his 'treasure horde' ? Treasure horde was the 2nd chamber/dungeon and Ashardalon turned up almost straight away, I did knock him down to 6HP before tactically...

I've been playing a fair amount of Rogue Trader (fantasy flight) and Lords of Waterdeep. I'm trying to figure out (for paragon) how to get the feel of political manoeuvring and influence over land while keeping away from 'money & management' type game. Rogue trader allows for crazy elements of...

As a DM I'm struggling with a players swordmage. He has really high defences, if something doesn't attack him it's screwed, if something does attack he interupts and teleports it to hit something else - the question is for this power does he wait until after I've rolled to hit or before? As it...

Just wondering if some more experienced players (I tend to DM) could chime in - basically I'm wondering if the +2AC bonus and less damage is better since he's a defender and thus values AC anyway?
