in A Totally Unofficial Help & Tips FAQ March 2012 edited March 2012

Just an FYI, I wanted to add some more links to Chainsaw's FAQ page and found that we've now reached the max character limit for the original page. Hence, I've co-opted the next comment down as a spillover page to add additional links to. Cheers…

in What is your favorite Adventure Log post (of your own)? March 2012

This isn't so much a single favorite adventure log, but rather, there there are two sets of adventure logs that have kept me coming back over the years. Now I'm sure there are many other amazing logs out there, two of my favorite continuing adventu…

Hm, well Magavendon I think your anger was warranted. It would be one thing if certain members of the group were just more quite than others, and willing to allow other players a larger share of the spotlight. So long as they were still actively e…

Good recommendation Killer. You've done a fine job with your site Jaymes. Good luck to you. And hopefully someday Killer's site gets the plaudits it so richly deserves as well. I know everyone here has been rooting for it for some time. Che…

GM: "As you kick open the tattered door to the Troll Warrens the putrid smell of rotted flesh and fetid water wafts out to greet you. And that's not all that does, a towering hulk of warty green flesh screeches a challenge and lumbers forward to en…

in What is the simplest rpg-system? March 2012 edited March 2012

I think some of the more popular rules light games out there are "Risus":http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/risus.htm and "Microlight D20":http://www.forum.koboldenterprise.com/index.php?action=downloads (an incredibly stripped down D20 system). Cheers…

@DarkMagus - glad you enjoyed it. I've found Justin Alexander's articles (he's got an assortment of other good articles) to be very insightful overall. Cheers, -Arsheesh

in 5th edition dnd... Too soon? March 2012 edited March 2012

@Ninjazombie, as far as sales go, WoTC initially received incredibly high volumes of sales on the 4e core rulebook lineup at launch (more so even than they received for the core rulebooks of 3e and 3.5e when they launched). However sales tapered of…

in Breaking into 4th Edition. March 2012

First, I agree with Savannah that you shouldn't try to convert your 3.5e friends if they are really "anti 4e". 3e and 4e are two totally different animals related to each other only by brand name, and for some, the contrast is too great a divide. …

in 5th edition dnd... Too soon? March 2012

As to the reasons for the switch (or at least, why so soon), I think WoTC is trying to compete with Paizo to win back it's former 3e fan-base, since so many 3e customers decided not to make the switch over, and instead opted for Paizo's revised 3e r…

in RPG business model advise March 2012

Well, I think the strategy sounds good, the problem though is developing a consumer base. There are a cottage industry of role playing games out there but many of them simply are not profitable since the big boys (WoTC, Paizo, White Wolf) own a nea…

in Hello Everyone!! March 2012

Hey there ACGalaga, welcome to the Portal. Your site is looking nice so far. BTW, it will be interesting to see what happens with 5e. Justin Alexander, a game designer whose blog I follow, thinks that the introduction of 5e is a bad business move…

Hey yeah, that turned out really nicely Anthony. I like how you've got the larger region map to give you a reference point. Also, it is very clean and easy to reference. Nicely done! Cheers, -Arsheesh

StephenWollett said - "Sex is a good thing. So why not enjoy it in your fantasy world as well as the real one. Just saying..." Hm, well I don't think one can really say that "sex is a good thing" without qualification. There are plenty of exam…

Hm, this is one of those taboo areas isn't it. I mean, let's face it, many of us got our start in this game as horny teenagers who used (abused?) D&D as a medium to live out our budding pubescent fantasies. But most of us eventually grow out o…

in Adventuring Archives February 2012

Agreed. Sadly, my lack of free time these days restricts me quite a bit, so I probably won't have time to follow your blog, but from what I've seen of it so far, it looks to be very interesting. I hope others take advantage of your great adventure…

in Designing Fantasy Countries and Cultures February 2012

Yeah, the thread is a bit old, but I've seen this same topic discussed repeatedly at several other RPG sites and figured it's just one of those perennially relevant topics; that's why I added it to the Hot topics list. But yes, there are some great…

@Killer - Don't like Green or Gold? Actually, I'm not really a huge fan of JW myself, but even low-grade whiskey (or whisky, if one want's to make something of the distinction) is still whiskey, and an that basis valuable in my book. @Beaumain…

@StephenWollett but only if it's the really cheap stuff (and even then I cringe at the thought of a smashed bottle of Johnny Walker Red)! Matter of fact, best to just forgo the whiskey bottle altogether and just smash up the Gin bottle instead. Th…

Hi there Eric, don't know if your Podcast has aired yet or not, but seeing this discussion page reminded me of a pretty good series of articles that Wolfgang Baur wrote a several years back for WoTC on building memorable villains. You can find a li…
