Another one of those kind of threads. :P I'm about to play in my first Pathfinder game, which in essence is really my first 3.X Edition game outside of a few sessions in a 3E Dragonlance game. Anyway, chargen is supposed to be at the table itself, but I've decided I want to work out most of...

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Ecology of the Hengeyokai) Play as a furry? YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

So my girlfriend just acquired an iTouch and the first thing she wants is a bunch of apps she can use to run and plan her D&D games, as well as run her characters. So does anyone have any recommended – ideally free – apps for running or playing D&D4E? We don’t live in a country that has...

So, my girlfriend and I are starting a Gamma World game with some friends who are (forgivably) terrible with the math and rules of D&D4E. I'm looking to idiot proof the game by using character sheets I've designed to aid the math part of their skills, etc. So, does anybody know where I can find...

I know of podcasts devoted to the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance. Podcasts devoted to D&D 4th Edition and older editions. But I don't know of any that are currently centered around Eberron. So I ask you, Lazywebs, where are them Eberron podcasts?

Just wondering: Why is Forge of War seemingly singled out as a problematic book with regards to the official lore of Eberron? I'm fully aware that Eberron is built with a bit more open-ended kitchen sinkiness than previous D&D campaign settings and therefore EVERY book is intended to be...

What the thread title says. I'm starting up a campaign and I wanted to know which version of KotS is best. I'm aware that various folks have tried to remix or tweak the whole thing in terms of combat and non-combat encounter design (nevermind some of the actual technical errors) and I'd like to...

I'm currently developing my character's personality and other fluff-oriented material, using the mechanics to anchor my ideas. I've already used deities to cement outlook and ability scores and alignment to develop personality. Nothing new about doing that. My concern is how to address...

I'm a big Star Trek fan, the level-headed kind that is totally okay with The Original Series, the new Abrams reboot and Enterprise and I keep hearing a lot on the podcast, Fear the Boot about their games of Star Trek. I'm curious if there're any good RPGs based on the franchise out there, or at...

No, really. I consider myself well schooled in the basic 4e forumite jargon, but I do not understand which rules phenomenon this term is supposed to be alluding to. That is all, thank you have a nice day.

So... I'm trying to build my first ever campaign striker (having only played the defenders and a handful of wizards) and as such I'm going for a Dragonborn Barbarian. Naturally this means I'm a Thaneborn Barbarian, so I'm thinking of playing him as an 'American Psycho'. All the pretty-boy...

I just finished running the first chapter of Tomb of Horrors (the published edition, not the DM Rewards one). We're handling the entire adventure as a kind of 'staggered' paragon campaign, to give ourselves a taste of paragon play after a year of heroic tier campaigns currently on hiatus. Now...

I'm not exactly new to Star Wars SAGA Edition, having played a Duros Scoundrel for 18 levels through about a year's worth of play, but I've only recently developed an interest in running it -- so I can add another game to my DMing repertoire -- and I just wanted to know to what extent Wizards...

Okay, so I've been pretty open about how much I like HS1 The Slaying Stone. It's got some great writing and editing, insofar as helping the DM keep track of events that the players don't see and provides a lot of material to deal with the unpredictable nature of players. And unlike the H series...

Okay, one of the few fighter builds I haven't tried is the Invigorating/Battlerager Vigor build. Can someone explain to me how the temporary hps work? Most of the time, I understand them: temp hp from the same source doesn't stack but temp hps from different sources do. So, how does that work...

Which one is better? More challenging and vicious? More fun? Describe to me in single words, only the good things about each module. ("Let me tell you about that module! *BANG*") I'm currently debating with myself on which one I'm going to run as a one shot game for a cheap night of laughs for...

So almost six months after my first heroic tier campaign, we're picking up the paragon arc. This will be my first serious paragon-tier character. I know I'm going to have difficulty playing this one because: a) it's not a character I played through the ten levels of heroic tier and therefore...

I'm not normally the spamming type, but I just wrote a new post on my blog, My Girlfriend Is A DM that I think might be entertaining and perhaps inspirational to you all. It's about Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the lessons we can take from him in role-playing. Schwarzenegger: The Model of Great...

This is probably familiar territory to most D&D vets, but I was just wondering what kind of practical considerations -- in terms of mechanics, fluff and actual play --- I'd need to measure for an adventure of such. We're having a reunion adventure, for our very first 4E group. It consisted of 3...

Has anybody played Three Dragon Ante? I'm interested in incorporating it into my games but I have no idea how it's played or even if it's any good. Oh and I must direct the same query to Inn Fighting.
