Here's a thought... When you buy a computer program, for example the Windows OS, or a computer game, generally (depending on the EULA) you are only allowed to install ONE copy of the program on ONE machine at any one time. You can move it to another machine, but it can't be on more than one...

I'm going to take a stab at this. Not opining on the actions of any person(s), just attempting to advance the discussion with ideas for all to consider. I've noticed over the past few years a trend in thinking where users/consumers make a distinction between the tangible and intangible. Because...

@Crothian: No, I'm looking to stay with the D&D system (3.5 or Pathfinder) I'm just looking for the best 3.5 online resources, as I assume (am I wrong) that some (or most) of the originally bets sites have switched to supporting 4th ed? I'm looking for a list of the best, current web sites...

Hmm... I guess I'm really wondering if there is a list of resources for those who are staying with 3.5 vs 4th. I see that there are a lot of new blogs, but I don't want to have to go through blog by blog, site by site, to see who's stayed 3.5 and who's now 4th. Which are the sites/blogs that...

I've been out of the loop for just about a year now, so busy that I couldn't play, and didn't have time to keep up with the web sites, blogs, and the community in general. It seems in that time that there has been a lot of growth and change, especially with the introduction of 4th edition? The...

I've been playing 3.5 for quite some time now, and I doubt I'll be switching to 4th, but after seeing the new offerings from Paizo and Monte, and with all the 3.5 "problems" I see people complain about, I am wondering if there is a thread, or blog, or article some where that has a definitive...

It seems that the people who _aren't_ switching to 4E fit in to one or more of the following groups: 1. Upset about a new edition so soon; 2. Don't like what they've seen of 4E so far (at all); 3. Like 3.0/3.5 just fine; 4. Believe 3.5 needs fixing, but want to be able to keep using all the...

I haven't seen a thread about this yet, maybe no one cares. I haven't had a chance to read either yet (just DLed PF-RPG Alpha, and will likely buy BoEM soon), but for those who have read both (not sure how many of you there actually are) or at least _looked_ at both... 1. Is one of them better...

Off topic @ Mistwell: Just because you weren't alive (or old enough) when the red box debuted doesn't mean you can't have played it. I'm 34, I've played every edition. I think the youngest person in our group is 28? NEway... On topic: I'm still hoping I'll get the chance to play-test 4e. I...

Well, my group (the "meh" people) have played from red box through every edition. In fact, the rest of the people in my group got in to 3ed way before I did. Same with 3.5 (I was annoyed at having to buy new books) So I was really surprised that they _didn't_ want to try 4th. I expected them to...

I showed my players the 4e PC sheets and rules outlines from DDXP and asked if they'd like to try it out. The answer was a resounding "Meh" Our group is made up with people in their late 20's to early 30's with disposable income. I guess we are one of the two main "demographics" for WotC (the...

After you click on a thumbnail, the image on the page that loads is a preview. If you right-click the image and choose save-as, you get a low-rez version. To the right of the image in a small box is a text link that says "Download Photo" below which you see the pixel dimensions and file size of...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think perhaps I may have mis-characterized it a little. Maturity is _not_ the problem, rather it is the mind set that "We are the heroes of the game, we can do anything". I think it's something that is experienced in a lot of games. There were two former players...

If this topic has already been covered, I would be much obliged if someone could point me in the right direction. if not... I am currently DMing the AoW adventure path, and though the PCs have not _really_ run afoul of the law yet, the _players_ have a habit of it in previous games, and it...

Sorry, but that's NOT what your poll asks, it asks "Gamer AGe, what year were you born?"\ I answered the poll before I scrolled down to your first post, unfortunately I can't take my answer back. I am NOT interested in 4E. I think you better fix the name of your poll/thread! :mad:

A question re: turning. In the M20 raw it says that to turn a cleric makes a Magic Attack check against a DC equal to the HP of the undead, but _how many_ undead can the cleric affect with one check? Perhaps it should be that the cleric makes a Magic Attach check against a DC he does not know...

M20 for the Palm OS I've converted the core rules document into files that can be used on the Palm OS. The first is a .pdb (PalmDOC) file that requires a reader (there are lots of free ones) but doesn't have any nice line breaks. The second is a Word Doc (so you can open it in regular MS WORD)...

Hello, everyone. I'm a bit late to the party (by about a year) but I discovered this thread on the ENWorld home page and was instantly sucked in. Though I have not ready every single post, I have spent the last week slogging through EVERY page! It is amazing to do it, and to see how this system...

I am letting my players use APs as per Unearthed Arcana in our Age of Worms campaign, and they have made the game more enjoyable for everyone. It does mean that there is less chance of a TPK in a very difficult campaign, and as has already been mentioned, allows for some heroic actions (like...

I've always considered the difference between RPGs and CRPGs to be a very simple one. In an RPG, a player may _attempt anything_ (they might not succeed, but there is no limit but your imagination). In a CRPG a player may only attempt that which is permitted by the programming of the game. You...
