I'm changing the dying rules (negative HP = unconscious and dying) to giving the character the staggered condition (this is PC side only, monsters die at 0 for the most part). I'll probably change diehard to remove the staggered condition. What I'm not sure about is whether to keep the -1 per a...

I'm am curious about people's preferences with regard to 3.x/PF and their preference within it. I realize that these categories won't encompass all the options, but it gets at the general nature of the game. I think I enjoy 3.5 with late splat the best.

I used to have a wooden dice tray that I used when I gamed at home, but never brought it with me. Recently I've been doing a lot of gaming at a friend's house and needed something to use while away. After searching around I found this . . ...

As the title says, how many years have you been playing RPG games? I'm not sure if this poll has been done before, but I'm always curious about it.

Anyone know of a non-linear wound system?

The d6 is used as a primary dice in many RPGs simply because of its easy access. Most people have plenty of them, if not from RPGs than from boardgames. But I've come to dislike the d6. I blame D&D 3x for my dislike of the die, since the game often requires large amounts of the dice to be rolled...

These are pretty cool. I think if I ran/played in a steam-punk game I'd probably use theme exclusively :) Edit (July 16) The original was cancelled but it has been relaunched. There are currently 6 more days to go! New Launch http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2009301036/dial-dice-0

I started work on my RPG for the 7 day challenge today. Should be interesting to see if I can get something put together in a week (less now). Anyone else giving it a go?

I'm looking for a good skill system that does the three following things that I often find I like/need in a typical D&D game. It doesn't have to be a D&D skill system that already exists. 1) Provide for use in a tactical combat situation, that doesn't require a bunch of extra rolling on a...

I'm thinking about doing it but have limited experience with Dwarven Forge terrain. Do you think there's a significant difference between the Full Painted and the Gray modules? Is it worth the cost increase? Opinions?

I'm thinking about running a scenario, 3:10 to Yuma style. Probably a low level prisoner transport scenario. The players will be escorting a dangerous prisoner, probably a couple of level above the party (so maybe 5th compared to the party of 3rd level character). There will be a gang of equal...

I'm thinking about running Skulls and Shackles, any suggestions or things I should be aware of for the AP? I'm putting together a group of players now. I've run APs with anywhere betewen 4-6 players, anyone run Skulls and Shackles with 6? Anyway, any advice you can give on this specific AP...

I've been reading a lot on the boards about play-styles and find that I enjoy two different play styles when I play D&D. When I run games I like rules light, character driven stories, with an emphasis on character development and making the characters part of the world. When I play in games I...

I have been working on getting rid of feats. I have integrated some into skills, most into class abilities and archtypes, and a few more are now being integrated into ability scores (I'm calling the ability score feats, attributes.) The intention is to remove ability score bonuses from the game...

I recent moved into the Annapolis area and I'm interested in either starting or joining a game. Systems I'm interested in - AD&D - BECMI - D&D 3.5 - Pathfinder Will consider another game system. Message me if you're interested or are looking for another player. I'm available most evenings...

I would like to see dice, other than the d20, used for mechanics other than damage. Can the game really harken back to the good old days without using d6s to look for secret doors, or percentiles for skills? Let's limit the d20 to "to hit rolls" and "saving throws" and use the other dice for...

I want the rules completeness of 3e with the sleekness of 4e along side the customization of 2e, the flavor of 1e, and the feel of BECMI. Is that too much to ask?

Well, like others, I've decided to post a bit of observations from my Monday playtest. 4 Players, all who play 3e/pathfinder (although we're currently in a Call of Cthulhu game) I can't speak for their observations, but as the DM, here's what I felt. D&D Feel: Yes, it did 'feel' like D&D, but...

Aside from the rules of the game, which I hope will be compatible with my style of gaming, here is a quick checklist of items that are important to me. PDFs of books Builder software (character, monster, etc), non subscription based, compatible with Macs (Herolabs is coming along with Mac...
