    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    (Is it just me, or is EN World a very slow-loading forum?) Work's slowing down on this RPG, as real-world work is going to be picking up. Hopefully something playable, one month to go! =/

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    So, here's a little bit of what I'm thinking. I was a little skittish about posting first because "oh no, someone might take my super-secret idea!" But, I doubt I'm the first to think it up after thirty years of RPGs, so... Magic in my setting is simply the force of creation. It is shaped not...

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    Well, I've official began work on this thing. Not too many specifics (or even a name), but I like where it's going so far.

    How Important/Feasible is 3 good NADs?

    At a glance, I'm not sure it's possible to send all three Non-armor class defenses (Or NADs for short) into the stratosphere. The game will basically make sure that you always have some weakness to bring you back down to level. Which is good: your opposition will have the same thing, so its fair...

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    Still a month and a half to cook something up. :)

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    I'm still mulling over the possibilities. In all likeliness the thing may end up being committed to word processor on February 27th...

    The Great Conjunction (RPG DESIGN CONTEST)

    Count me in. This'll be a good exercise, since I procrastinate normally anyways. Also, now that I've replied, it'll keep track of this topic.

    100 ways to know that you're a roleplayer!

    21. You start threads called "100 ways to know that you're a roleplayer!" 22. You've got a core book and character sheets in your car trunk, just in case. 23. You realize your roleplaying miniatures outnumber your wargaming miniatures. 24. You've got a pair of fuzzy d20s hanging from your...

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    OK, that makes more sense to me. I'm not that big on big words, to be frank. :) I suppose it is a case of 'implied truth', then... I say a lot of complaint is about the change, and the casual reader will assume its true. You say its actually from the disappointment, and the casual reader will...

    Some Icy Critters

    I'm glad I was inspirational for you. Always nice. :) Your adventure sounds like it'll be a bit lighter than mine, which is fantastic if its for kids over the holidays. My plot revolves around a romantic betrayl sixty years back between the Ice Queen and the now-mayor of Wintertouch. Becuase of...

    I'm sorry, but what?

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    Dragons and Dungeons... its got a ring to it. Here's hoping for fifth edition in 2012. :P

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    If anything, I find the way the classes are set up to be a lot more open-ended then third, if not jsut as open-ended. My friend ran a Dwarven Slayer (of Warhammer fame) in a store game once. To do so, he looked a little beyond the printed words, called "Ranger" a "Slayer" and ran around in just...

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    I see. I read this: General RPG Forums The General RPG forums are for the discussion of any RPG issues and news in general. Specific D&D rules-related discussion belongs in its own forums, below. and this: General RPG Discussion Discussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics...

    Some Icy Critters

    Ah yes, that bit of information may help. It will be a party of four level three PCs (ranger, rogue, swordmage, and cleric). Also, thanks for the feedback, I'l probably incorporate it a bit into these critters. :) That said, I'm realizing that I've spent quite a while on these guys, and...

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    I saw a section for "Rules" and "Homebrews." I figured that this deals more with DnDs fluff and rules than anything I made up, so here we are. Thank you for your vigilance. :)

    DND 4E Is different! (Why is that bad?)

    I'll be brief and to my point. A major complaint of DnD 4E is that isn't different, that its not like previous editions. Well, this isn't a new thing, as the races and world in general are different in each edition. So, instead of complaining "why", ask "why not?" New rules, new races, new...

    Monster guidelines in DMG =/= MM?

    Simply put, the DMG guidelines are just guidelines. The critters in the MM were probably created at that baseline, then fudged around a bit until they seemed right. Or, more accurately, the DMG provides some sort of average that a given monster might be (based on others of its level). To be...
