I ordered a set of glow-in-the-dark dice (CHX 23095) and got them a few days ago. While it certainly has Chessex on the box label, at the bottom is says "Dice made in USA by Gamescience"

For my 4e game, I have a small, 8.5x11 white board behind my screen. With small groups of monsters, I try to pick out unique figures. When a monster takes damage, I write down its type and feature, ie -orc/axe or zombie/red. I simply record the damage it's taken. If I have a larger group of...

My homebrew features about five anthropomorphic animal races statted up for 4E, with a few more rolling around in my head. I also allow minotaurs and kobolds. They're all pretty important for the background feel I'm aiming for...

I voted 'other.' I like most types of gaming - RPGs, board games and video/computer games. My fiancee likes board games and some old-school video games, but isn't interested in RPGs or the more involved computer games. We both belong to our city's board gaming club. I'm thrilled that we share...

Hey, some feedback! Thanks, Starfox. Regarding the convoluted mechanism, yeah, I see the point. I was even kind of feeling it a few days after I posted. I personally like making skill rolls for benefits, but attaching it to a power is probably a too much. There would be the let down on a...

Here are a couple of divinity feats I'd like some feed back on. My homebrew is using the Norse gods, and thus the name of the feats. Odin is the god of war and magic, so this one has the feel I'm going for. My questions are - Is it reasonable? If not, do you have any suggestions to fix it...

Here's another one. This guy is part ass/donkey, part human. Basically, a stubborn, medium sized centaur. See: Medieval Bestiary : Onocentaur Gallery Again, any feedback would be appreciated. Onocentaur Racial Traits Ability Scores: + 2 Strength, +2 Wisdom Size: Medium Speed: 6 squares...

Here is a new race I'm designing for my fantasy earth campaign. Think of a Puss-in-Boots type race from folklore (or similar to the one in the Shrek movies). Stereotypes are encouraged, but I want to make it balanced. And, yeah, it's intended to be a little silly. What I'd like is some...

All the heroes are from Hidetown. The only other town we've heard of was Fishtown. Everyone starts with minimum wealth, and everything but leather goods cost double. Awesome campaign from very low beginnings.

For my 'Other' category, I've purchased Keep on the Shadowfell and the Advanced Player's Guide. I've also put a bunch of stuff on my Christmas list (crosses fingers).

I'm a member of two groups: Sunday Group: Playing since 2002 Early forties, male, teacher Mid thirties, male, restaurant worker Mid thirties, female, secretary Late twenties, male, restaurant worker/doctoral student Late teens, male, high school student Playing 4e Tuesday Group: I've played...

These ideas are awesome, Stalker0! I also like some of Alex319's ideas, specifically: Some folks have complained about the relative lack of importance of the Int ability - perhaps base the number of uses per day on the character's INT mod. I'll have to let the ideas simmer a bit before I...

One of my worst experiences was when we started up an acquaintance's 2ed campaign, about a year after 3E was out. That in itself was pretty difficult - felt like going back to calculus class. However, that wasn't the worst of it. I was playing a lawful good ranger. I was basically playing him...

Drooling in anticipation... :p

I'm a teacher, and in the 11 years I've been at my current building, there's been a grand total of one co-worker who even came close to the sub-culture that I enjoy. Unfortunately, he moved on to become an administrator at another building. Around the time Gary Gygax died, the flag outside our...
