    D&D 4E A Change I'd Like to see in 4E Campaign Guides

    I like that idea too. It makes sense to have seprate books that detail specific cities/geographical oddities. The thing I like most about POL is that it's exactly how I played oh, so long ago. When my group first started in junior high school We would just take a world atlas, randomly open a...

    A Technical Look at D&D Insider Applications

    Many of my nursing text books have a scratch off card attached with the code for accessing online support. When you buy a used text you know what you're getting up front. The code allows an account to be created and that is password protected.

    D&D 4E 4e death of creative spell casting?

    If a player wants to use a spell in a non-standard way there is a mechanic already in place to adjudicate. I just set a DC for what they want to do, the more "creative" the higher the DC, and have them roll a Spellcraft check. Make the check, you're able to manipulate the spell to do something...

    Recommendations needed for a new system for an Old DM

    For a new rules system I reccommend looking at Burning Wheel. I've yet to run it but I like the system as I read it. I especially like the Life Paths.

    Arcanis or Scarred Lands - Help me decide

    Except for the Magic of Arcanis and Players Guide to Arcanis, everything else is chock full of story goodness. Besides Year of Ill Harvest, I would suggest following up with A Carnival of Swords. It's a defining adventure for many PCs. Other than that, Legacy of Damnation, Ssethragore: In the...

    Arcanis or Scarred Lands - Help me decide

    Psionics Unbound was also available at the summer cons, with a release to distributers soon to follow. It is a replacement for the XPH, as far as I recall. Arcanis has used psionics from the begining of the campaign and the issues that came up have been addressed. edward kopp-

    Arcanis or Scarred Lands - Help me decide

    I am an unapologetic Arcaniac. I strongly encourage you to take a close look at Arcanis: The World of Shattered Empires. The setting book, The Codex Arcanis, is 95% story and setting. The support and degree of responsiveness from Paradigm Concepts is unparrallelled among gaming companies. The...

    Help me, fellow gamers! You're my only hope!

    Recognizing you have a problem is the first step. :) Honestly, it's difficult when you think in mechanics all the time. Your brain has become trained to think in mechanics when dealing with rpgs. Now you have to learn to switch that part of your brain off when you're the player...

    Trailer Park Boys: the Game, Wed 6:30p-10:00p (FULL)

    I took that into consideration when coming up with the concept. Internal connections with the party/group is how I prefer to create characters. fusangite, Contact information for Ceresco Real name: Edward Kopp email: ejkopp@msn.com cell #: 859-225-8245

    (FULL!) Wed Afternoon (2-6 PM?) Shapeshifting Spacelizards: The Game

    Sounds good. I've never played M&M, so I wanted to get a feel for the PC and an idea of the setting. I'm not worried about the mechanics, how difficult can they be? You can email me at ejkopp@msn.com

    What is on your Buy list?

    This is the top of my list too. It did sell out at Origins, but Henry and Co. are prepared for GenCon with plenty of copies to sell. Also by Paradigm Concepts that all rank second on my list are "Year of Ill Harvest" the first years story arc for Arcanis, Psionics Unbound, and the limited...

    Paranoia, Dilbert style (session #2) Thurs 1p - 5p (FULL)

    What is funny? Dilbert is funny. So is Paranoia. Dilbert meets Paranoia seems like the Reeces Peanutbutter Cup of funny RPGs. But funny can be relative. For instance, I find the movie "Trainspotting" to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. A black comedy to be sure, but I laughed long...

    Since I did not attend this event last year, can you give me an idea of what you think is funny? I think I'm a very funny guy, but my wife would beg to differ.

    Trailer Park Boys: the Game, Wed 6:30p-10:00p (FULL)

    I'll do my best. I was brainstorming a bit last night. So far my concept is "Roach", a small time pot dealer, but the big connection in the park. In decending order of importance his attributes are Social, Smart, Decent, Sexy, Fast, Strong, Tough. In Descending order of importance his...

    Trailer Park Boys: the Game, Wed 6:30p-10:00p (FULL)

    I have been following this thread for a while and was to late to ask for a position, but now that one is open, I would be over joyed at the oppurtunity to play.

    I see there are a couple of spots left for this game. I'd like to request a spot if I may. My character preferences are Allen Gray or Lemuel Rein. A third choice would be Elizabeth Arden. Thanks in advance. edward kopp-
