FTFY :cool:

FWIW, I think a Wizard getting drunk and then chasing 10 goblins into their lair should get an XP award for roleplaying. :)

Two comments: 1. Are you guys playing the Kobolds with Advantage? The playtest Fighter has AC 15, and according to this RPG.SE answer, that means that the Kobold is hitting the Fighter 50% of the time for 2.5hp of damage whenever there are more Kobolds than PCs. That can add up. 2. I don't...

thegrognard, I was in the same boat and called Customer Support's 800 number. Took me about 5-10 minutes to get through, answer some security questions and get my password reset.

Hey all, There are a bunch of old threads by Wolfspider, ColonelHardisson, et al about a conversion of Middle Earth to d20, but most of them refer to even older threads that were lost during some server upgrade or something. And the website where the conversion was hosted (d20reviews.com) is...

I would love a copy of the PoL map, both with and without English labels. Beautiful work!

Pak, that sounds like an entire thread right there. :) I went away and thought about everything that's been said in this thread, and changed my mind. I know that's not supposed to happen on the internet, but it did. I think my complaints are going to go away as I learn the powers, and I can...

Maybe this is just a function of me not knowing my powers very well, so that I'm so busy remembering what is what that I don't have time to do a righteous re-brand.

Umbran, your posts in this thread are really condescending. How about engaging with me and the other posters who are having a problem with a game that you enjoy, and helping us out, instead of calling us deluded or lazy? edit: to be fair, I didn't specifically ask for help in the OP. My bad. So...

Since someone asked, I've been playing D&D since AD&D. The other players in my group have been playing at least since 3e, some earlier. I've played less than ten sessions of 4e. It's not that I can't ignore the descriptions of the powers. It's that the combination of: 1. Learning the powers 2...

I figured out why I'm having a hard time getting into 4e D&D, despite all the improvements they made to tactical cr0mbat. They stole my narration! For a while now I've been trying to figure out why my mental picture of the game isn't as cool as it used to be. I think it's because of powers like...

There's also Basic Fantasy RPG, which is quite good. If you go over to the Dragonsfoot forums and look for the one called "Simulacrum Games", you'll find a boat-load of so-called "retro-clones".

Bees don't take honey back to their hive, they make honey in their hive. But I like the way you think!

Great discussion. Here's my take on why, when we used to play B/AD&D, we used to avoid fights more often. This is a 1st level monster that flies faster than any PC in the game can run. If it stings you, you usually die instantly, if not in a matter of rounds. If you run into them outdoors, you...

Thanks folks, for a great thread. It sounds like most of you are DMing 4e, which I haven't done yet, so the moving parts I've been able to interact with are character creation and powers. Character creation is a lot simpler than 3e ever was, especially once people got into multiclassing and...

I've heard lots of people say that they like 4e because it's getting back to the roots of the game, the feel of some of the older editions, etc. I'm playing in a 4e game right now (just started) and I'm liking it, but I don't see much that reminds me of Basic or AD&D. Do you think it's getting...

Do a series of tests that build on each other or a skill challenge. Some ideas: Outrun their pincer move with a Sailing check. Help the crew get the lead out with a Charisma check. Detect a storm and sail into it with a Weather-wise check. Find difficult terrain (ie shoals, sandbar) with a...

Inconceivable! ;P

Love that I can make a dwarf cleric who doesn't run like a priest... or even a particularly spiritual guy. Hate that because clerics can't use shields without a feat, I'd be an idiot not to use a maul (bye-bye throwing hammer concept).

My two cents about DoW: I love it for the same reasons some people hate it. I *like* having a framework for roleplaying. I just scripted a Dismiss! Now I have to come up with something dismissive to say--a real put down, or condescending point--and then roll to see if I succeeded in ending the...
