For all those not already in the know, there is some buzz about a DM-like game called Legend of Grimrock. For those having fond memories of Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder or Lands of Lore, this may become the successor we are all waiting for, so I thought I spread the word. More info at...

If anyone at GenCon participates in one of the games of The Secret Fire RPG (formerly called Legends & Labyrinths) I would like to hear some details and experiences, because I'm somewhat unsure about it. Is is a modified 4e with an old school feel? Secret Fire Games? Any commends / reports...

Now, last session, the following happened: our cleric suffered a heavy STR-decrease because of some enemy's spell effect, bringing him down to STR 1. Carrying some 50 lbs. of gear, this also meant, that his encumbrance was about 10-times higher than his current drag/push value. So according to...

hi folk, since i can find nothing official, i have a question for you... our sorcerer has aquired the mage hand spell. now, he ties a cure light wounds spell to a piece of clothes and has the habit to activate the wand, then uses mage hand to move the cloth (since he cannot move the wand...

Hi @all Here's another topic for discussion: I would like to have aging a more important role in the game. This was the case with older editions, where you could age because of a banshee's wail or some spell's effects. As it stands now (3.5), actual age has no effect at all with the exception...

ok, the title is perhaps somewhat provoking (or not) but what does anyone think of special abilities useable X-times per encounter? i personally do not like this approach, because encounter is something which can be from a short battle to a long battle, or even not be a combat encounter at...

Hi @all! Anyone heard anything about how heavily 4e will depend on miniature use? I secretly fear, that miniature will become mandatory and the last couple of WoTC's adventure modules seem to confirm this...Which also means, I fear future adventure modules packed with only fights, no...

Hiho @all! I wanna play a curious-all-buttons-pressing-inventor-mechanic-type of gnome but... what class should i start with (rogue is possibly the best, but i don't have need for sneak attack and similar class features)...or what prestige class should i work towards to? we play greyhawk and...

hi@all can anyone point me to a dungeon crawl adventure suitable for characters of 8th level and playable in one evening's sessioon (4-5 hours)? need one for thursday evening this week and haven't found a suitable one (yet). have already checked WotC's free adventures, but nothing found... oh...

Hi @All... I need a change in campaign setting style... So please tell me the difference (setting and rules wise) between Eberron, DArk Legacies and the Iron Kingdoms campaign settings...Are these compareable (both are fantasy-steampunk, aren't they) and if so where are the differences and...

hi @all! i'm yet undecided to buy or not to buy T&T. i never played it and never had any book read, although i heard several good things about it. so, has anyone already bought the "new" (reprint) 5.5 edition and what's your opinion about it. furthermore, there will be a 7th edition by fiery...

Hi @all; A couple of sessions ago we played the freeport trilogy from green ronin. We were at Blackdog's Caves and discovered the Sabre of Sorror, a cursed item. Later on, as our fellow party member discovered the blade's side effects, a discussion arised: You see i play a paladin with the...

hi @all, yesterday evening's session, the character's visited an ancient temple. some of the rooms were flooded up to the ceiling. The PC's all had Water Breathing spells cast on them, including our sorcerer. Then came the time, when the sorcerer wanted to cast the Detect Magic spell and our...

Hello @All, Can someone plase tell me, what the critical hit / fumble tables in SSS' Advanced Player Guide are, i.e. are there separate charts for each weapon and / or damage type, spellcasting / energy criticals / fumbles and do they differentiate between various creature types? Or can...

Skeleton Key Games...Has anyone experience with these and what's your opinion? How many of the boards would I need (one or better two of them and how many tileset are you suggesing?) Thanx

hi @all, for those interessted, there is a WarCraft RPG interview with D. Brooks here

Is this a new hype...or did I miss something. If someone is looking at today's fanatasy flight games homepage, the one will see a press release announcing a Warcraft Board game. assuming board game means tabletop game, at least one can use the minis (if any) for Warcraft RPG. So, there are...

Am I blind...??? I can't find the location to add Exotic Materials. In eTools (the only thing I found is when creating a character you can give him a "new weapon" and when the screen pops up you can select material), nor can i find a table within the database itself. and in etHelper...
