Besides, I'd rule that healing someone of opposed alignment would be just fine as long as the healing promotes the deity's cause. If my cleric fools a Lawful character into helping my Chaotic deity's plans, I doubt my deity would have a problem with it. This is pretty much what I was thinking, and ...

The jump from level 0 to level 1 jars me (at least the fiction behind it - wizards suddenly learn 4 spells - what?), so I was going to test out these rules: At 0 Level, characters choose their future class. This represents apprenticeship or training they’ve received to-date. Each class gets addition...

I'm not usually a limited edition kinda guy, but I just preordered this (and I have the first ed) simply because that cover is freakin' awesome. Just awesome.

I ran one campaign where each new session began with the characters totally broke. Reminded me a lot of the situations you see in Conan and Fafhrd/Mouser type stories, where somehow the heroes have spent all of the loot from the previous adventure. Of course, at the end of each gaming session the p...

I like the idea of increasing the die step if results are additive - so busting open a door, lifting a portcullis, etc, each additional character would be useful. I'd also include the appropriate ability modifiers as bonuses, if applicable (and almost always Strength in these cases) for each PC acti...

I haven't (yet), but plan to, with 2D and 3D terrain. I wasn't planning on introducing any new rules, though - just to use them for clarity and atmosphere. I wouldn't want DCC to turn into a minis game. Also, in general I prefer to use minis for set pieces, not use them for every corridor explored. ...

To steal from Harry Potter, which stole from other sources, consider staircases that shift where they lead, and pictures that change or watch you as you move around. Also: Greenhouse with hordes of man eating plants Observatory with portals to other worlds The Stables ... and what _are_ those stains...

I wanted everyone to know that there will be an Open Playtest of the TA/TG 0-Level adventure at Dragon's Lair here in Austin, TX on September 16th from 3pm to 7pm. It was surprisingly difficult to book a table. The staff was super-helpful and all. But there weren't any spots available. All booked u...

I agree with bholmes. I keep looking at this KS campaign, but I don't really know of the company or anyone involved, and haven't seen much if any of the content. So it could be brilliant ... or awful.

I roll most rolls out in the open. I do roll some behind the screen, mostly things that should be hidden. I tried the roll-in-the-open-but-hidden-behind-other dice, but that didn't work for me. I kept forgetting which the real die was. And there isn't much practical difference between that method an...

Nice work as always, NtW.

Glad to see you back. Your work (as usual) looks great!

Good stuff, JediOre. I enjoy reading these.

Oh well. There goes my hope that GG would be the light in the dark and continuing with 3.5 products. My wallet will be happy though. Please don't take that as a dig at GG or anything, but there are those of us who don't and won't want to convert to 4E. Heck, I haven't played 3x in years, and don't ...

Woot. Just got mine, and I'll be reading through it this weekend.

And ordered.

Awesome. Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to getting this in my grubby little paws.

I love having PDFs, but given the choice between a PDF or printed copy, I usually buy the printed copy. Something about having a book in my hands. So usually for products that I like where the PDFs are substantially cheaper, I end up getting both.

Echo ... echo ... echo ... echo ...

So ... been a couple weeks. Or is that a California couple?

Regardless of what happens, I hope the advertise the heck out of it. More exposure to RPGs is a good thing, and Wizbro has the $$$ to afford it.

Got it. Many thanks.

I always assume that unless otherwise stated.

One other observation - rules lawyers are fine, as are solid and experienced players...but what really livens up a group are stupid/silly players. It may sound counterproductive, but it's really not. Stupid players are more liable to fall into traps, get themselves (and the group) into trouble, and...

Woot. I ended up with it - and I got it at just a little under what my max bid was (whew).

We have 8 core members of the group, including the DM (which rotates), plus one remote, who is still an honorary member even if he doesn't game with us regularly. We're also considering bringing another 2 in.
