Thanks for this incredibly thorough reporting.

I can understand your desire for this kind of robustness in a VTT, but similar to what you said: if you're looking for a program that does all the book keeping for you, you should probably be playing a video game. If you're looking for an experience that doesn't include rulebooks, character...

WotC: "1st ed, 3.5?? 4th? 5th? PLEASE JUST BUY SOMETHING FROM US!"

Admittedly, people who were attracted to these other games would be lapsed D&D players (assuming D&D is where they started) I cede that to you. I guess I'm just a little frustrated that the language WoTC is using (to me at least) portrays these people as yearning for something different or new...

Hello gamers of EnWorld. A few months ago Nareau posted an article detailing how one of Asheville's (UN)friendly local gaming stores stole our domain name the day after we announced plans to open, then Morrus graciously posted that article to the front page which threw our nascent store into a...

If they mean lapsed customers, then say "hey we want you to buy our things again" and call them as such. Again, these people aren't lapsed D&D players, they're still playing D&D in some form. Just not the one WoTC wants them to.

This idea of "lapsed" D&D players is silly. When people say "lapsed" what they mean is not playing the current edition. But I promise those "lapsed" players are opening their OD&D, AD&D, 1st ed, 2nd ed, and whatever books and having a great time. The language being thrown around by WoTC and...

Aehrlon, my apologies for the mis-understanding. My comments were directed at the OP of this thread, I should have made that more clear. They mentioned how video games handle the idea of Hit Points, which is why I made my Contra reference. As for your desire for some realism and verisimilitude...

You're kind of being a jerk

I believe you're thinking too hard about this HP concept. Do you pause a video game and wonder why your man in Contra (NES FTW) gets shot, dies, and then suddenly falls out of the sky doing Chuck Norris spin-flips with a new gun, fully recovered and starts shooting people? No, you accept that as...

Oh wow, well if you're lucky enough to have a group that dedicated then thumbs up to you!

If you play on average once a week, that leaves you leveling up about twice a year. Considering most people are lucky to have a campaign last a whole year, how do you get past level 2? Personally I can't image playing a level 1 character for that long, but if you are looking at trying to avoid...

I don't know, but WoTC has really been hitting some home runs with their board games so I'm interested!

I guess I just feel like Paizo's rules were just house rules we were all using anyway. I feel like PF is a better rules set which focuses not on how many prestige classes you can stack, but on making your core character class important. But hey, this isn't the forum for that. And to each their...

I see several posts here saying people would pick these up, my question is why? Pathfinder supports an updated version of these rules that many seem to think work a lot better (I mean Hide AND Move Silently? WHO HIDES LOUDLY!?). This would be like people buying 3.0 books while 3.5 is out and...

I wasn't expecting much from a game named after: Now I am even less excited.

The Tanuki idea sounds awesome! He reskinned the Roc to be an owlbear, so maybe the badger or dog as tanuki might work. Thanks for the suggestions guys

This seems like an amazing idea until you realize it's the worst site design ever. I really wanted to see abandoned buildings too :( It's almost completely un-navigable.

So I'm playing in a heavily modified version of the Kingmaker AP set in a fantasy Japan. I have a Ranger 7/ Rogue (Poisoner) 2 character with the Boon Companion feat. I've now gone through 2 animal companions, a tiger and a roc, and I've decided that my next one should be less combat oriented...

After seeing Campaign Coins for the first time at GenCon several years ago I purchased a set and started using them. My players loved it, mostly, but here's some things to consider if you are going to use money props (I was running an AP but I'd caution against the same things no matter what)...
